The Better With Age Podcast
The purpose of this podcast is to share information about how adults can age in a healthy and vibrant way. Far too many people are diagnosed with preventable conditions like osteoporosis, diabetes, and heart disease and then given medications as the only solution to manage the disease. What if there was more to the story? What if simple lifestyle factors such as exercise, nutrition, breathwork, and social connection could help not only manage, but reverse some of these diseases of ageing. What if instead of becoming worse with age, we could become Better With Age?
