Scenario

When longevity practices trigger mental health issues in relationships

My wife and I started intermittent fasting for longevity benefits but it's triggering her old eating disorder patterns while I'm seeing great results, and now we're in this impossible situation where continuing feels harmful to her but stopping feels like I'm sacrificing my health for her mental health. We don't know how to navigate this together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Partners pursuing life extension strategies are discovering that interventions beneficial for one person can be psychologically harmful for the other, creating an impossible choice between physical and mental health.
