The Age of Aging
It’s likely that almost everyone, at some point in their lives, becomes concerned with the quality of their lives as they age. Of course, we all age, which is why there is no such thing as an “anti-aging” protocol. However, there are therapeutic lifestyle changes to prepare us for the best possible health outcomes, or “successful aging.” Join Dr. Deanna Minich to learn how lifestyle medicine and nutritional therapy protocols provide the keys to successful aging. According to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration on Aging, about 1 in 5 people will be 65+ years old by 2030, a significant increase from the 12.4% of the population (or about 1 in 8) they represented in 2000. This rise in aging individuals means more people will be looking for solutions to maintaining health and well-being into their later years. This seminar will focus on the strategies to keep your patients healthy, strong, and vital through the final decades. |
