Description

AGE BETTER is the podcast for women 60+ who want to be strong, informed, energized, and in charge of the years ahead. Each week, award-winning author, journalist, and healthy aging advocate Barbara Hannah Grufferman talks with leading doctors, scientists, authors, and experts about what really matters now: building muscle, protecting your bones, fighting frailty, supporting your brain, deepening your connections, improving sleep, rethinking nutrition, staying mobile, nurturing intimacy, and living with real purpose. This is not about slowing down or settling in. It is about knowing what to do now so you can stay strong, healthy, independent, and engaged for decades to come. Because while living longer is the goal, living better—with strength, purpose, joy, and connection—is the point. AGE BETTER will help you take charge of what happens next.
