In this episode of GeriEvidence, Dr. Alexandra Papaioannou sits down with Dr. Tricia Woo and Dr. Jasmine Mah for an engaging, myth-busting conversation about what it really means to age well. Blending frontline geriatric care with cutting-edge research on frailty and social vulnerability, they unpack common misconceptions about aging, clarify when a geriatrician can make a difference, and share practical strategies to protect brain health, maintain mobility, and preserve independence. 

This episode is proudly supported by the CIHR Institute of Aging and the Betty Havens Prize for Knowledge Mobilization in Aging, awarded to Dr. Alexandra Papaioannou. Special thanks to the creative directors, Dr. Patricia Hewston and Caroline Marr, and strategic director, Dr. Tricia Woo.
