A Different Look at Aging

Is aging just a natural process? We look at aging from a different perspective with Dr. Mark Lachs, Distinguished Professor of Medicine at the Weill Cornell Medical College and Co-Chief of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine. Dr. Lachs is also the Director of Geriatrics for The New York Presbyterian Health Care System and together we cover:

(2:27) what actually happens to your body as you age, (5:20) medical ageism, (10:52) sarcopenia and its role in aging, (14:01) weightlifting, (18:34) common supplements, and (22:32) the damaging effects of social isolation.
