I've decided that every third week of the month, I will recommend a book that I've found to be helpful, enlightening, eye-opening, or useful at this time of my life. This is my first book recommendation episode. This month's book is entitled This Chair Rocks, A Manifesto Against Ageism by Ashton Applewhite.

In this episode, I'm discussing a serious public health issue that existed long before Covid-19: Loneliness. Today, we're addressing loneliness as it shows up in older age, what we can do in our daily lives to assist those who are experiencing loneliness, and what we can do if we are personally experiencing loneliness.

32 min - 26: Aging, Body Image, and Eating Disorders in Older Women
In this episode, I dig into the complicated relationship between women and their bodies. The relationship may become more complicated as we age out of society's prevailing notions of physical beauty, or maybe the relationship becomes clearer and more simple. Negative body image can lead to mental health issues, physical health issues, and eating disorders. As I researched for this episode, I found information about eating disorders in women over 50.
