Meet Your 80-Year-Old Self: It Motivates Better Health Choices

Zora Benhamou

Can you picture yourself at 80? Like, really picture her? Most of us can’t. And the research says that’s exactly why we don’t take great care of her.

We cover:

  • My ChatGPT experiment and why it hit me so hard

  • The “mother’s age milestone” and what losing a parent young can you feel

  • The research on how connecting with your future self changes your choices

  • The window of opportunity that only happens in menopause 

  • What AI can’t do for you, and what matters most for your future self
