In this episode of Informed Aging, host Robin Rountree speaks with renowned personal trainer and educator Robert Linkul, founder of TrainingTheOlderAdult.com, about why building strength—not just being thin—can significantly impact your longevity, independence, and overall quality of life after age 50.

With over 25 years of experience, Robert breaks down the dangers of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), the link between strength and fall prevention, and how resistance training can help older adults bounce back from injuries and even avoid catastrophic outcomes from falls. He shares how minimal effort—just 20 minutes every other day—can lead to significant improvements in balance, bone density, and daily function.

SYNOPSIS

 The world is grappling with a crisis as the baby boomer generation ages into dementia.

The United States is no exception, with an estimated nine million Americans projected to be living with dementia by 2030.

In light of this, Wine, Women, & Dementia provides a poignant and intimate look into the human side of dementia. This film follows the journey of former dementia family caregiver and filmmaker, Kitty Norton, as she embarks on a cross-country RV adventure with her best friend, Beth Rigazio, to meet the dementia family caregivers who provided virtual friendship and encouragement through their shared caregiver experiences. Through these face-to-face encounters, Norton seeks to deepen her understanding of the caregiving experience, and highlight the vital support that caregivers provide to one another, despite the physical distance between them.
