These are not just axioms, but solid beliefs. But why? Why do we believe that as we age, we are expected to get ill, lose function and competence, and become frail? Where and when did we learn to connect "aging" with deterioration? Why do we limit our full, physical potential the older we get?
In this podcast, we discuss:
Heal. Move. LIVE. Evolve.
