Show: Mental Health + Aging with Dr. Regina Koepp

Dive into '3 Myths About Aging and Intimacy', inspired by lessons from the Golden Bachelor. We'll debunk common myths surrounding love and relationships in our later years using research, not stereotypes. The Golden Bachelor, with his own love stories, teaches us that age doesn't stop true connections. Plus, if medical conditions have you worried about intimacy, we've got you covered. This episode includes 5 essential tips for keeping the spark alive, even when health challenges arise. Whether you're into senior dating, curious about love in the later years, or looking for ways to strengthen bonds when health gets tricky, this is for you. Learn, laugh, and discover the ageless power of love and connection.
