Women now live six years longer than men, yet for most, the last decade of life can be plagued with cascading poor health and a lack of purpose. In other words, women's healthspans and lifespans are out of sync. What if there was a way for women to extend not only their longevity but also their quality of life?
In this interview, Maddy Dychtwald will discuss her cutting-edge research that helps women take advantage of scientific, psychological, and physical knowledge and tools to feel vital, youthful, and purposeful into their 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond. We are currently in the beginning stages of a longevity revolution with women at the forefront. Women hold the power to change the aging narrative once and for all by emphasizing the gifts of long life and taking steps to minimize physical and mental decline.
Maddy will share simple and actionable steps to help women increase their healthspans, brainspans, and lifespans, including tips, techniques, and hacks (many of which are low-cost or free). Although focused on women, Maddy's presentation is helpful for everyone.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
