Description

In this episode, Dr. Chris Bollen from Bollen Health joins Healthy Ageing Specialist Dr. Des to address five prevalent myths about ageing and frailty, aiming to enhance the ageing experience for everyone.




1. "You are 85, and there’s nothing we can do to help you…what do you expect at your age?"


2. "Frailty is a part of normal ageing."


3. "You can’t build muscle after age 70."


4. "My doctor told me I should not eat eggs as they are bad for my cholesterol."


5. "I am on this medication for life, because my specialist said so many years ago."



The podcast explores the concept of frailty and how it is often misunderstood.
