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."
Flourish As You Age
END-OF-LIFE #4 - Exit Strategies
Comments? Send me a text message.
Chris Palmer, author of the new book Achieving a Good Death, and I discuss the different choices we have about how to exit our lives.
Chris offers five "exit strategies," including:
- Withholding Life Saving Treatment
- Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)
- Palliative Sedation
- Medical Aid in Dying (MAID)
- Switzerland
We discuss hospice care, palliative care and death doulas.
