Serve Strong Finish Strong

In this part 1 of a 2-part conversation with Di Patterson. Host Scott says “You will love Di (America's Gerontologist)” as she shares her views on the importance of relationships as we age. Many people who have experienced 40 know that 40 is a pivotal age. Things seem to begin to “go south”, although these changes began much earlier. 

Men begin a strength decline at age 18, and women’s need for bone calcium begins at age 10. And everyone’s kidneys performed at their peak at age 5. Humbling, isn’t it? It is within this context we discuss the importance of relationships. Listen as Di teaches how LOVE is the key to aging well.
