Summary

It’s common for our brains and bodies to atrophy with age. But some adults, those known as super-agers, have shown that we may be able to keep the sharpness of someone decades younger, even matching the cognitive abilities of a person in their 20s. In this episode, host Samantha Laine Perfas talks with biologist Will Mair, neurologist Alexandra Touroutoglou, and geriatric doctor Suzanne Salamon about what we’ve learned about super-agers and the secrets that may help us all extend and enrich our later years.
