Flourish As You Age
BRAIN HEALTH
MENTAL MANAGEMENT
A GOOD DEATH
Let's not just fade away; let's FLOURISH as we age!
The MINDRAMP Podcasts focus on three key components that have been shown to contribute to flourishing in the later years of your life. You will find mini-series of episodes that explore each component.
1) Keeping your brain and body healthy - see The Roots of Brain Health
2) Managing your mental states - see Flourishing
3) Planning the kind of death you want to have - (coming 10/1/24))
You will also find the occasional episodes that focus social concerns that I feel have an impact on our well-being, for example "Elections."

Comments? Send me a text message.
The FDA recently approved the first new drug for Alzheimer's in the last 18 years. . Why are we not celebrating? Because there are a slew of concerns about the approval decision. Ten out of eleven members of an independent review board voted against approval. The eleventh couldn't decide. At least three of these reviewer have resigned in protest. In this podcast I review four of the main concerns about the FDA approval of Aduhelm.
