What does healthy aging really look like?
In this thought-provoking episode, Michael Conniff sits down with Dr. Bruce Troen, Chief of Geriatrics at the University of Kansas Medical Center and Director of the Landon Center on Aging, to explore the science behind aging well.
From the Harvard Class of 1976 reunion to the latest research on resilience, mobility, cognitive health, and longevity, Dr. Troen shares practical insights on how we can maximize our healthspan, not just our lifespan.
🔹 Why mobility is one of the strongest predictors of healthy aging
🔹 The importance of resilience, exercise, and physical therapy
🔹 How cognitive health changes as we age
🔹 The “4 Ms” framework for aging well: What Matters, Mentation, Medication, and Mobility
🔹 Lessons from caring for older adults and military veterans
Whether you’re thinking about your own future, caring for aging loved ones, or simply curious about the science of longevity, this conversation offers valuable perspectives backed by decades of medical expertise.
