Science, research, and innovation has been integral in providing us with better health, disease reduction and longer lives.  In fact, we are living longer, and most adults can expect to live many more years than their predecessors.  However good this trend of longevity is, it is met and rightly so, with pushback. 

What is the purpose of longevity if it’s not met equally with Quality of Life.  What is quality of Life?  It’s the meaning, value, and the WHY we place on how well we live our lives and how satisfying they are. 

In this episode of the Brain Health 365 podcast, host Brian Browne and co-host Lizzy Rasmussen tackle “What is quality of Life?” And, “How does Quality of Life impact my brain health and overall wellness?” We invite you to listen to the episode and join the conversation.
