The Relationship Show with Dr. Wendy & Miss Jenni - Aging Gracefully - ep 18

The Relationship Show with Dr. Wendy & Miss Jenni

Episode 18 - “Aging Gracefully - with Starla Fortunato & Sybil Henry"

Two thousand years ago the average Roman had a life expectancy of 22 years.

By 1900 the average American life expectancy was about 50 - but with the advancements in medicine, health care, and technology, in 2015 it takes us almost 80 years to get to where our bodies used to burn out at age 50.

So how do we make those extra years worth it? How do we take the potential Crisis of Aging and turn it into an Opportunity?

Our guests Starla Fortunato and Sybil Henry are two strong insightful women who shared a lot of knowledge on the subject of Aging Gracefully - and it was obvious they’re living it every day.

And I’m not gonna candy coat it… this episode has a LOT of estrogen in it. But because women begin to increasingly outnumber men around the age of 30 - Today there are 128 women to every 100 men over 65, increasing to 196 women for every 100 men by age 80 - because of this, I can’t help but think even our male listeners might find this conversation useful.
