What if the best days of our lives were to come in our 70s or later? The societal norms around aging are far from optimistic, preferring to frame the process around dotage and frailty. But such views are increasingly being challenged, not least because the evidence suggests we can be active, purposeful and fulfilled, well beyond the traditional age of retirement.In her book, Turning: The Magic and Mystery of More Days, Becky Blue delves into the emotional, physical, and psychological aspects of aging, offering a roadmap to a vibrant and meaningful life at any age. She encourages people, particularly women, to take control of how they grow older with a new perspective rooted in empowerment. In this interview we explore Blue's unique approach to aging, longevity, and how we can all redefine what it means to grow older.Transcript and additional show notes PartiQlar supplementsEnhance your wellness journey with PartiQlar supplements.

As we get older, how can we still enjoy a runners high or exercise-induced euphoria, while being careful not to get injured? Dr. Kevin R. Stone is an orthopedic surgeon, the founder of the Stone Clinic in San Francisco, and author of Play Forever: How to Recover from Injury and Thrive. With a passion for helping patients play until they drop, Dr. Stone is redefining what it means to maintain a high-quality, active lifestyle across the decades.
