EP 15 / Dr. Linda Fried / Geriatrician, public health leader and pioneer in healthy aging

On this episode of Varsity’s Roundtable Talk, we sit down with Dr. Linda Fried, a world-renowned geriatrician, public health expert, and Dean of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. A pioneer in the science of healthy aging and frailty, Dr. Fried has dedicated her career to understanding how we can build systems and communities that support longer, healthier, and more purposeful lives. Derek and Dr. Fried explore the medical realities of frailty, why physical activity is the best prevention strategy, and how public health systems must evolve to meet the needs of an aging population.
