Show Notes

Dr. Roger Landry, MD, MPH, is a retired, highly decorated full colonel, former chief flight surgeon at the Air Force Surgeon General's Office in Washington, and preventive medicine physician who has spent over a decade smashing stereotypes of aging and redefining the possibilities of older adulthood.

He has conducted extensive practical research on the influence of lifestyle on the aging process and compiled his findings in his book Live Long, Die Short: A Guide to Authentic Health and Successful Aging, which AARP has endorsed, was a top pick by MORE magazine, and received gold award honors by Living Now Book Awards.

  • Ten empowering tips to age successfully
  • Authentic health that we can rediscover from our ancestors
  • The importance of staying socially, intellectually, physically, and spiritually engaged with life
  • How to grow new brain tissue and make dementia less likely
  • How to recognize and address personal risks that may limit health and independence
  • How stress "rots us from within"
  • How to never again fail at making healthy lifestyle changes
  • Why our elders are part of the solution to society's challenges rather than the problem: a resource rather than a liability
  • Changing public policy and how it will affect how we view and treat older adults
