Bone Health, Falls, Medications & Healthy Longevity | Dr Deborah Kado
About this episode
Dr. Deborah Kado discusses the importance of gerontology and various factors affecting healthy aging.
Everyone wants to talk about longevity. Almost no one wants to talk about gerontology, the field that has been studying how to age well for a century. Dr Deborah Kado, Stanford professor of medicine and geriatrician, joins me to bridge that gap. From bone health and balance to deprescribing, gut microbiome research, and the surprising power of your attitude towards ageing, this is a masterclass in what actually matters for a long, well-lived life. What We Cover: Why "longevity science" is largely gerontology rebranded A positive attitude towards ageing and its link to lower dementia risk Balance, power training, and preventing falls and fractures The truth about osteoporosis medications and the scare that drove millions away Why extra weight after menopause can be protective Vitamin D, sleep regularity, and the gut microbiome This one will change how you think about growing older, whatever your age.
