Why your midlife choices will define your future health

Gerontologist Michael Pessman discusses his article, "Why what you do in midlife matters most." Michael explains why the ages of 45-55 are a critical window and final opportunity to build healthy habits that profoundly impact future aging. He highlights new research on "super-agers" and the power of strength training (reducing early death risk by up to 20 percent), the importance of community, and the proven benefits of a Mediterranean diet. Michael also explores the crucial role of a positive mindset toward aging and the concept of "gerodiversity," reminding us that aging well is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Learn how intentional changes in midlife can lead to a longer, healthier, and more connected life.
