Born to Live: Reflections From My Ninth Decade

Kenneth Scott is 83 years old. He was born in war time Scotland, raised in northern Alber ta, trained as an aeronautical engineer, built companies, raised a family, and has lived on three continents. His colleague, Helga Sands, was born in Germany in 1938, has built a distinguished career in international finance before spending more than 25 years studying the science of aging. Together, they co-founded the KHL Foundation with a shared conviction: that getting older does not have to mean getting weaker, sicker – or be less alive! BORN TO LIVE! is Kenneth’s memoir, the stor y of his life, his losses, his discoveries, and his refusal to accept that aging must end in decline. Along the way, he describes how he changed his diet and saw decades of illness disappear, how he rebuilt his strength in his late seventies, and how he sought out new therapies, available right now, outside the conventional medical system, that have made him measurably younger. His muscle mass has increased. His bone density has improved. His biological age is decades younger than his actual age. Kenneth explains all of it in plain language, so that any reader can understand what he did, why he did it, and what happened.IN THIS BOOK, YOU WILL: • Learn what vital longevity means: Reaching eight y and beyond with your independence, energy, and sense of purpose still intact, and why so few people currently achieve it.• Discover the seven foundations Kenneth used to prepare his body for renewal: Mind, nutrition, exercise, responsible use of medicine, rest, environment, and purpose, all explained through his own experience over eight decades.• Read his first-person account of the new therapies he chose to undergo: Treatments that can rebuild muscle and bone, clear damaged cells from the body, target specific organs, and activate the body ’s own ability to repair, described in plain language with the results he observed.• Understand the therapies now being tested on humans for the first time: Methods to regrow teeth, clear blocked arteries, restore the body’s energy production, and return aging cells to a younger state, and learn why Kenneth is preparing to receive them.• See how Kenneth dealt with ageism, medical harm, and a health system that treats aging as inevitable: And why he decided to take responsibility for his own health rather than accept degeneration and decline as “inevitable.”• Come away with a practical way of thinking about the second half of life: Grounded in freedom, continued work, and the conviction that the later decades can be an expansion, not a retreat.New therapies exist right now that can help people grow stronger, think more clearly, and feel younger as they age. Most people over six t y have never heard of them, but Scott has spent years finding them, testing them, and recording what happened. This book is his record, written for anyone who wants to know what is possible and is willing to consider that aging does not have to mean giving up.KENNETH SCOTT, born 1942 , Scotland, ser ved as an aeronautical engineer with the Royal Canadian Air Force, worked as a labor economist for the Canadian government , co-founded a technology company serving PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, and ser ved as CFO for an early internet company.
