Real Stories, Real Results

"This team is so nurturing. I didn't know medicine could be so fun until Healthspan."

Marilyn Augur
Vail Healthspan Participant

"Healthspan’s personalized approach proved exactly what I needed. Instead of relying on generic advice, I received tailored workouts and nutritional support that fit my specific goals and lifestyle. This structure—and the accountability of a dedicated team and tribe of like minded people—transformed my efforts into tangible progress."

Dan Pennington
Vail Healthspan Participant
President & CPO, Vail Health Foundation

"Healthspan is different than other programs because it doesn’t insist that you reach society’s unrealistic standards; instead, it encourages you to find the place where you’re truly meant to be.”

Magda King
Vail Healthspan Participant

"Since starting Healthspan, I’m not spending any more time working out than I did in the past, but I feel significantly more fit. My workouts are more productive, and when combined with the guidance from my nutrition coach, Dr. Sandler, the lab results, and the Oura data, I feel like my overall health is making major strides forward."

Mike Richards
Vail Healthspan Participant

"Dr. Sandler provided great info on my results from the lab panels and potential supplements, I have always taken supplements but having someone to help vet and look at what is best for me is awesome. Josiah added a unique perspective of working with a world class athlete and was able to help guide me with my goals of maintaining muscle while aiming to increase my VO2 max. Jen was able to give me insight into my nutritional needs and helped me broaden my diet to include a more nutritious variety of foods."

Weston Sawtelle

"I believe I’m teaching my kids a healthier way to love themselves, to prioritize their well-being, and to embrace a healthier lifestyle. For me, this is about breaking a pattern that has been deeply ingrained in my family"

Magda King
Vail Healthspan Participant

"What sets Healthspan apart is its genuine commitment to support and education. More than just providing workouts and meal plans, the program helped me understand the “why” and “how” behind lasting change, making healthy living truly sustainable. Most important are the relationships you build with the coaches and team that truly distinguish Healthspan from other programs."

Dan Pennington
Vail Healthspan Participant
President & CPO, Vail Health Foundation

"I definitely would recommend the program to all levels of people – it can jumpstart your journey, help you meet your goals, and generally get you excited about your health and future!"

Weston Sawtelle
Vail Healthspan Participant

"What’s most surprising is that much of what I’ve learned through Healthspan, I had already come across over the years—through reading and listening to podcasts. But I’m now realizing that I didn’t truly understand it, and I certainly wasn’t integrating it all the way this program does. I’m super excited about where my fitness is today, where it could be in a few months, and especially where it might be in the years to come. I’ll be 50 next year, and this program has made me believe there’s no reason I can’t be as fit in my 50s as I was in my 20s. Maybe that’s a stretch—but I’m up for the challenge!"
