As we age, finding our purpose becomes increasingly important to our health and happiness. This 3-part series explores key themes of the aging process, including lifestyle characteristics, opportunities to engage and the importance of mindful activity.

The foundation of this presentation comes from the renowned Blue Zones study where some of the world’s best researchers in successful aging identified communities around the world with high concentrations of centenarians.

While these communities are scattered across both hemispheres and different cultures, they share common habits that lead to successful aging. Scientists identified nine lifestyle characteristics—coined as the Power 9®—that likely contribute to this longevity. What can we learn from the “Blue Zones?”

Dr. Mark Carlson, a fellowship-trained, board-certified geriatrician with over 30 years of healthcare experience and creator of Be Well MD, will share these nine characteristics and the simple ways you can integrate them into your life.

This event is free to attend. RSVP to Capital City Village at 512.524.2709 info@capitalcityvillage.org or Be Well MD at 512.553.1921 info@stayhealthystayhome.com.
