The art and science of living long and well.
I'm a physician and educator. In my day job, I use x-rays to discover what ails you. The rest of my time goes to a much bigger question: what makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise?
Here's why that question haunts me. I grew up the youngest of six in suburban Utah. When my father's investments went bad, I learned what an empty pantry looks like. At fifteen, I drove with my dad to an ATM and lent him my life savings, all $600 of it. I was proud to help, but confused about what it meant. He died when I was seventeen; my mother, when I was twenty-four.
Three pillars of a good life. Everything else is some version of one of them. All five courses.
The body you live in: what to eat, how to move, why sleep is the foundation the rest rests on, and what happens when systems begin to fail.
Money as freedom rather than score: getting out of debt, buying back your own time, and being the boss of your finances.
Wisdom is the application of knowledge and experience: how to think clearly, where to spend your attention, how to keep learning, and how to face what goes wrong.
I've been writing and teaching about health, wealth, and wisdom since 2018.
“It has been two weeks since my last class from this instructor, and I am still telling others about what I learned.”
“Fantastic presenter, very motivating.”
“He is an amazing presenter and a generous teacher.”
“Excellent information presented in an understandable and usable way. Liked the steps: What, diagnosis, how to fix.”
“Very well prepared. Excellent content.”
“So good! Really has me thinking differently and with hope.”
“Dr Morgan has a fun and memorable presentation. It has helped me tremendously.”
“The notes from this class are the ones I kept the longest.”
“Thank you. Very informative. Very needed. Very motivating.”

For years I've wanted to try a different kind of teaching: a small group, a remarkable place, and a subject you can see with your own eyes. These are the type of trips I'm considering.
January, on a cruise or at a resort. Health and wellness, timed to when people are already resolving to change something.
A cruise on finding meaning and fulfilment in the second half of life.
The Blue Zones, and a practical roadmap for living long and well.
The places where people faced great adversity, and what we can learn from them.
Where the greatest minds worked, and how to hold on to the best of being human in a digital age.
Nothing is scheduled and nothing is for sale. I'm building an invitation list. If a trip comes together, people on the list hear first, and their answers shape what the first trip becomes.
I write when I have something worth saying about health, money, learning, and what makes a life good. No schedule and no spam. If that sounds right, leave your email and my writing will find you.
