Healthspan Intervention
​Healthspan Intervention Program
Inspired by the pioneering work of Dr. Peter Attia, MD, and his book Outlive, the Healthspan Intervention Program at Integrated Psychology Group (IPG) is designed to address the health-related changes that often accompany aging. As older adults face significant health challenges that necessitate lifestyle modifications, this program aims to support them in achieving optimal mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
​
Program Overview
The Healthspan Intervention Program is a structured, three-part process—Awareness, Acceptance, and Action—designed to facilitate comprehensive transformation. Through this process, clients are guided through:
-
Awareness: Gaining insight into how health changes impact their lifestyle and well-being.
-
Acceptance: Embracing these changes with a proactive mindset, allowing for effective adaptation.
-
Action: Implementing strategic lifestyle modifications to enhance overall health and longevity.
Utilizing evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices, the program aims to improve clients’ overall well-being. It supports the development and execution of tailored prevention and early intervention strategies, addressing a range of issues from behavioral health challenges and unhealthy behaviors to chronic health conditions.
​
Healthspan Intervention is specifically designed for individuals seeking to alter their health trajectory through informed lifestyle changes and personal growth. By integrating psychological and behavioral strategies, the program empowers clients to navigate their health challenges and achieve a more fulfilling and balanced life.
