An interview with Eric Levitan, Founder and CEO, and Dr. Katie Starr,  Scientific Advisor at Vivo.

[A]s we are aging, that strength training component is so important, because not only does it help us maintain muscle mass, it also helps with the quality of the muscle.  It helps us reduce that fat that starts to infiltrate that muscle, so that the muscle will continue to contract like it's supposed to, allowing us to continue to do the activities that we want to do, stay independent, and really be able to have that independence that we all crave as we get older and age and want to still do the things that we love with our families, with our spouses, with our friends.

An interview with Dina Buchbinder,  Founder and President at Education for Sharing.

You will think that play is just something like a nice to have, but it is at the center, at the heart of how we learn and why we learn and the reason that…like in order to really engage with what is relevant today and how can we prepare our brains to learn what we will need, I think it has an intimate relation to play and to movement…

An interview with Dr. Michelle Segar, Behavior Change Scientist and Author, The Joy Choice.  

And The Joy Choice is the perfect imperfect option that lets us do something instead of nothing. So we've got to get past the all or nothing dragon that's been getting in people's way. And I do want to say that the idea that people should become flexible is also a new message that, well, it's one I've been also talking about for decades. But the research is also starting to mount to show that flexible response and flexible thinking is much more adaptive for healthy eating, for regular exercise, including for weight loss maintenance.

An interview with Dr. Glenda Rivoallan, Founder of WeTalkWellbeing and Soulgenic.  

But the most important thing about how I define resilience is the ability to not just bounce back from challenges, or adversities, or more negative things that happen to us in our life, but actually bounce forward and with the ability to thrive.

We just truly believe that a person's last 20 or 30 years of their life—which is a really significant amount of time—it can be their best years. But in order to do that, there needs to be a place and a community that empowers them.  And however we get there, that'll continue to be our goal.

An interview with Lisa Robinson, Director of the Office of Food Access & Healthy Communities for the City of Somerville (formerly Shape Up Somerville).  


Now, we recognize that there's so many root issues that can lead to obesity. And it's a complex issue. And we recognized that back then, as well. But how do we come together to really focus in on what's the main goal for attacking that—the systems that affect our health outcomes.

It's actually saying, acknowledging the challenges, acknowledging how hard it is, acknowledging that this isn't going to be a cure, but it can be part of people's recovery.  There are ongoing challenges. And our job as that workforce is saying how do we help those people at that point in time with what they need in order to engage in some form of activity.

An interview with Amanda Rees, Co-Founder and CEO at Bold.


And so that more and more individuals truly believe for themselves deep down that they have the power to influence how they age.  They don't feel like aging is happening to them, but that it’s never too late and that there's something that they can do and they feel armed and informed about that.
