This week’s show explores how you can maintain your independence as you age. We must challenge the notion that aging means declining health and dissatisfaction, and explore how to create a thriving life of vitality and connection. Discover why it is so important to take control and create a vision of your ideal future!
We’ll take a look at what it means to be the CEO of your own healthcare by building a good medical team. We also assess the three aspects of stress: physical, emotional, and environmental, and how they influence our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. By creating the best possible health environment, we can reduce reliance on the medical care system, and by taking action now to make changes, we can lay the groundwork for lasting vitality.
