Older Body and Young at Heart

Next audio will be on macular degeneration because as we age 1 in 7 of us will experience this.

I am starting a daily clinic for people over the age of 65 who are often on lower incomes, so I’m pricing at an more affordable rate between the hours of 2pm and 5pm.

Getting older doesn’t equal getting sicker. Whilst 65 is certainly not old, far from it! our bodies have been working for us for the last 65 years. It needs more maintenance and a lot more input from us to slow down the aging process.

The older you get, the more important quality of life becomes.There is a lot you can do to help yourself.

The healthcare system for older adults is concerning. Many seniors struggle with limited resources, and their needs are often ignored due to systemic problems. The core of medicine—care, empathy, and time for each patient—is being lost in an overwhelmed system.

Clients frequently feel frustrated and overlooked, facing long wait times even with health insurance. This backlog worsens their health issues and increases anxiety and stress. It seems unfair that those who have contributed to society for years must deal with such obstacles.

To enhance quality of life, we must push for changes in healthcare. A more patient-focused approach that considers the overall well-being of older adults is essential. Integrative practices that treat the whole person, can help ease the burdens of an often-unreachable healthcare system.

As we progress, we should ensure that every healthcare experience shows the respect and attention older adults deserve. Voices need to be heard, and needs met to properly honor people’s valuable lives.
