In this episode, I’m drawing from over 20 years of experience—as a physician and a woman navigating this journey myself—to share real, actionable strategies for aging well, inside and out.
We’ll explore the core pillars of healthy aging, including the power of movement, nourishing your body with the right foods, getting quality sleep, staying socially connected, and being proactive with your healthcare. These are evidence-backed strategies inspired by the National Institute on Aging and other trusted resources—but made personal, practical, and doable. I’m also shedding light on a topic that often gets left out of the aging conversation: urinary incontinence. It’s more than an inconvenience—it can limit your physical activity, impact your confidence, and quietly chip away at your social life. We’re going to talk about it openly, and I’ll show you how addressing bladder health can support your overall well-being as you age.
Whether you’re already noticing changes or just want to feel prepared for what’s ahead, this episode is full of guidance you can start using today.
