Come join me Monday, May 12, from 5:30-7 pm in the Fireside Room to listen to a 40-minute podcast entitled
“Aging well: longevity strategies for seniors” by longevity scientist and MD Peter Attia. It takes place at a
senior community where his daughter volunteered. He covers critical topics like the profound impact of
exercise—particularly strength training—for maintaining mobility, preventing falls, and preserving
independence later in life. He also discusses the importance of nutrition, emphasizing adequate protein
intake, strategies for sleep optimization, and preservation of brain health. He also underscores the importance
of emotional wellness, purpose, and social connections in healthy aging and provides advice on staving off
chronic disease. This is not a scientific deep dive but rather an easy-to-understand overview of main topics
contributing to healthspan and thoughtful insights for all of us. At the end, he answers resident’s questions. I
will also take questions and answer to the best of my ability.
I have been interested in longevity and healthspan since 2019 with the publication of several books by well-
known scientists, including Peter’s book entitled “Outlive.” Understanding the whys and hows of human
aging has helped me stay motivated on my own aging journey.
I am sure you will find this podcast enjoyable and inspiring, and perhaps it will motivate you towards a healthier
life.
