About this event
Forget the myths — aging isn’t about decline, it’s about evolving. In this lively, interactive session, Dr. Eastman takes us on an eye-opening journey through the science and reality of aging. You’ll discover that growing older doesn’t automatically mean becoming frail or ill. In fact, with the right knowledge and mindset, aging can be a time of strength, clarity, and continued vitality. We’ll explore the concept of "homeostenosis" — a fancy term for how our bodies gradually adapt to change — and what that means in real life. You’ll also learn ten essential truths about normal aging, many of which might surprise you
