Aging Digestion, Bowels, Bladder [036]

Join Caroline for Part 5 of our “What Is Aging?” series covering the digestive system, as well as bowel and bladder continence. We discuss common age related changes like nutrient absorption, digestive motility, constipation, and incontinence. We also talk about the role of physical therapy and health coaching in improving these systems with age.    Courses:  Modern Aging: Physiological Processes and Societal Responses   Related Episodes: Ep 32 Aging Bones and Joints Ep 33 Aging Muscles Ep 34 Aging Nervous System Ep 35 Aging Heart and Lungs Further Reading: Soenen, S., Rayner, C.
