Pan Macmillan India has announced the upcoming publication of The 100 Year Blueprint: An Indian Doctor’s Guide to Longevity by physician, medical futurist and healthcare thought leader Dr Navin Gnanasekaran. The book is scheduled for release on 24 June 2026 and will be available in paperback format.

Positioned at the intersection of clinical medicine, behavioural science and longevity research, the book aims to provide a culturally specific health and wellness framework tailored to the biological and lifestyle realities of Indian readers.

A Culturally Grounded Approach to Longevity

According to the publisher, The 100 Year Blueprint addresses what it calls the “Indian longevity paradox”—a situation in which Indians are living longer but experiencing earlier onset of lifestyle-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, inflammation and chronic stress.

The author argues that conventional Western health advice does not fully account for genetic, metabolic and environmental differences in Indian populations, and therefore requires contextual adaptation.

Rethinking Health for Indian Bodies

The book challenges widely accepted health assumptions, including dietary patterns, traditional home-cooked meals, and standard fitness practices. It highlights concerns around commonly consumed staples such as rice, dal and roti, suggesting that they may contribute to blood sugar imbalance and metabolic issues in some individuals.

A key focus of the book is the “sleep-stress axis,” which examines how modern urban lifestyles contribute to chronic fatigue, disrupted sleep patterns and long-term health risks.

From Healthspan to Lifespan

Dr Gnanasekaran’s framework places strong emphasis on the distinction between lifespan and healthspan, encouraging readers not only to live longer but to maintain physical and cognitive wellbeing throughout life.

The book introduces a structured “30-day masterplan” designed to help readers adopt sustainable habits using behavioural psychology and habit-stacking techniques. It also outlines 21 core health principles covering metabolism, nutrition, movement, cognition, stress management and emerging biohacking practices.
