David Harry Stewart
I’ve spent years thinking about what it really means to age well, so when I arrived at Canyon Ranch Tucson, I was ready to put those ideas into practice through the LONGEVITY8™ experience. My days were a balance of movement, recovery, and time outdoors — challenging my body with expert guidance, slowing down when it mattered, and creating space to reset physically and mentally. From desert adventures to deeply nourishing meals, it became clear: Longevity isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing what matters, better. Explore my perfect day, then discover inspiration for your own longevity journey.
Morning

It’s an energizing start that sets the tone for movement, clarity, and connection. Move Better with a Muscle and Joint Assessment Get deeper insights into your health through a comprehensive evaluation with the sports medicine team. This targeted movement screening identifies imbalances and limitations, creating a personalized path toward improved mobility, strength, and lasting joint health.
