Global Prevention Platform
The Two Leading Killers on Earth Are Largely Preventable.
Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer account for nearly 30 million deaths per year worldwide. The ABCDES Longevity Framework gives you an evidence-based, measurable and actionable way to change that—for yourself, your family and your community.
Evidence-Based • Awareness Driven • Action-Oriented • Global
Reduce 30 Million Preventable Deaths Annually
Structured prevention against the two leading global killers:
- • Cardiovascular Disease (~20M deaths/year)
- • Cancer (~10M deaths/year)
Sources: WHO Global Health Estimates, Global Burden of Disease Study, CDC, IARC.
30 Million Deaths Per Year.
If this were an infectious disease, the world would mobilize.
This is slower. But it is just as lethal—and highly preventable with structured, measurable action.
~20 million cardiovascular deaths per year (WHO)
~10 million cancer deaths per year (WHO)
Obesity in children aged 5–19 has increased 10-fold in the last 40 years (WHO, 2017)
Overweight and obesity linked to 13–15 cancers (IARC / WHO)
The ABCDES Longevity Framework translates this global crisis into daily decisions you can measure, monitor, modify and maintain.
Global Health Snapshot
Top 2 causes of death worldwide:
• Cardiovascular disease
• Cancers
Most are driven by modifiable risk factors—blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, diet, movement, toxins, sleep, stress and missed screenings.
Our goal: Make prevention as structured and trackable as financial planning—starting with you, then scaling globally.
The ABCDES Longevity Framework
A global, evidence-based framework for structured prevention against cardiovascular disease and cancer. Each letter represents a measurable, modifiable lever that compounds over decades of your life.
A — A1C
Blood sugar & metabolic stability. Prediabetes is reversible. A1C is your long-term blood sugar report card—and a powerful lever for heart and cancer risk.
B — Blood Pressure
Silent, early and damaging. Hypertension now affects young adults. Every household should own a BP monitor and know how to respond to each range.
C — Cholesterol
Beyond “good” and “bad” cholesterol. LDL, ApoB, triglycerides, HDL and Lp(a) in high-risk families—each gives you a clearer picture of vascular risk.
D — Diet
The Longevity Plate: half to three-quarters plants, a quarter high-quality protein, and a quarter healthy whole grains. Modeled on DASH and Mediterranean patterns.
E — Exercise
150 minutes/week moderate intensity, 30 minutes of walking most days, plus strength training twice weekly. Aim for 7,000–10,000 steps per day—consistency beats intensity.
S — Screenings, Smoking, Stress, Sleep, Standards
S is the multiplier: cancer screenings by decade, stopping smoking and vaping, reducing stress, protecting sleep, and setting non-negotiable standards for your health.
ABCDES Clinical Deep Dive (By Letter)
Each letter of ABCDES has its own dedicated module inside the course, covering why it matters, how to measure it, what ranges mean and exactly what to do next.
A — A1C (Metabolic Stability)
Why it matters
• 100+ million Americans have prediabetes (CDC)
• Diabetes increases cardiovascular and cancer risk
• Leading cause of kidney disease and need for hemodialysis
• Prediabetes is reversible
A1C Ranges & Actions
Normal (<5.7%)
• Maintain consistency
• Annual monitoring
Prediabetes (5.7–6.4%)
• Walk 30 minutes daily (150 min/week moderate activity)
• Reduce added sugars
• Eliminate sugar beverages
• Increase fiber
• Recheck in 3 months
Diabetes (≥6.5%)
• Structured medical therapy
• Possible GLP-1 therapy
• Nutrition counseling
• Close 3‑month rechecks
• Weight reduction target 5–10%
Consistency is king.
B — Blood Pressure
Why it matters
• Leading #1 risk factor for death - "the silent killer"
• Hypertension now affects young adults
• ~20% of men 20–40 may have elevated BP
• ~13% of women 20–40 may have elevated BP
Ranges & Actions
Normal (<120/80)
• Maintain exercise & sodium awareness
Elevated (120–129)
• Increase walking
• Reduce sodium
• Stress reduction
Stage 1 (130–139)
• Home BP monitor recommended
• Lifestyle intervention
• Medical evaluation
Stage 2 (≥140)
• Medical therapy
• Strict monitoring
• Recheck in 4–6 weeks
Every household should own a BP monitor.
C — Cholesterol
What to measure
• LDL
• ApoB
• Triglycerides
• HDL
• Lipoprotein(a) in high‑risk families
Ranges & Actions
LDL <70 (high‑risk target)
• Maintain
LDL 70–130
• Diet optimization
• Weight reduction
• Exercise
LDL >130
• Medical therapy discussion
• Aggressive risk factor control
Family history of premature heart disease?
Test Lp(a).
D — Diet & E — Exercise
D is for Diet
• ½–¾ of plate plants (fruits & vegetables)
• ¼ plate high‑quality protein
• ¼ plate healthy whole grains
• Remove sugar beverages
• Reduce ultra‑processed foods
Small changes ripple through metabolic pathways.
E is for Exercise
• 150 minutes/week moderate intensity
• 30 minutes daily walking
• Strength training twice weekly
• Steps: aim for 7,000–10,000/day
Consistency beats intensity.
S — Screenings, Stop Smoking, Stress, Sleep, Steps, Standards
Screenings
• Cancer screenings by decade (20s through 80s)
• Cardiovascular imaging (e.g., coronary calcium score)
Stop Smoking & Vaping
• Air pollution is already a top 5 cause of death globally
• Smoking and vaping add preventable toxins—no need to add insult to injury
Stress & Sleep
• 7–8 hours of restorative sleep
• Meditation 5–10 minutes daily
• Limit alcohol
Steps & Standards
• Daily movement targets
• Clear minimum standards you will not negotiate on for your health.
Decade‑by‑Decade Screening Matrix
Your risks and recommended screenings change every decade. The ABCDES course includes a full decade‑by‑decade matrix, mapped to leading guideline bodies, to show what to test and when and depends on family history and risk factors (i.e. obesity).
High‑level view
20s
• Baseline A1c , BP & and cholesterol
• BMI and waist circumference
• Family history mapping
30s
• Repeat lipids
• A1C if risk factors, BP and Cholesterol
40s

| 60s–80s | A, B, C & Structured cancer + CV imaging surveillance |
Full decade matrix and clinical references are included in the ABCDES Longevity Workbook and course.
Beyond Labs: The 8 Dimensions of Wellness
Longevity is more than numbers. Drawing from the Harvard model of wellness, ABCDES integrates the 8 dimensions of wellness into your prevention plan—and emphasizes the central role of relationships.
- Physical – ABCDES metrics, movement, sleep and screenings
- Emotional – stress resilience, mood, coping skills
- Social – quality of friendships, community and support
- Intellectual – continuous learning and brain health
- Spiritual – meaning, purpose and aligned values
- Occupational – work that supports, not erodes, health
- Environmental – clean air, low toxins, safe spaces
- Financial – stability that enables long‑term planning
Relationships as a longevity drug
Long-term studies—from Harvard and beyond—show that the quality of your relationships is one of the strongest predictors of health and lifespan. The ABCDES workbook includes prompts for marriage and relationship health, because prevention is a team sport.
Pre‑Marriage & Partnership Health
Marriage is a lifelong partnership. Health transparency matters before you tie the knot.
- A1C
- Lipids & Lp(a)
- Blood pressure
- BMI & waist circumference
- Family history of heart disease or cancer
- Lifestyle habits: sleep, movement, smoking, alcohol
The ABCDES Workbook includes a dedicated Marriage Health Screening Worksheet to make these conversations structured and supportive.
