Description

For years, Dr. Deborah Heiser studied the pathology of aging, immersed in the nitty gritty of everything that can go wrong with your body as you get older. Until one day someone challenged her to find out what on earth we have to look forward to.


And what she found surprised her.


 ”Honestly, there was a huge amount of research that was out there showing what we have to look forward to, but nobody was talking about it.” That’s when she  shifted her research about aging and what it actually offers.


Today, Deborah tells us about the deeply satisfying stages that are ahead and how an aging population benefits everyone.

In a culture that tells us that as we age, we matter less. Deborah wants everyone to know that as we mature, we matter more than ever before.
