Helping Aging Parents Stay Independent through Movement & Nutrition with Senior TLC

Ask any person over the age of 65, and they’ll tell you they’re losing muscle mass and strength – quickly! In fact, adults can lose 3-8% of their muscle mass every decade after the age of 30! That’s why this podcast will address the body’s progression as we age – and how caregivers can help their aging loved ones stay fit well into their senior years.  Joining our host Karen Summey, MA, ACAPcommunity Project Manager and Podcast Host, Active Family Caregiver is Meg Picklesimer, Registered Dietician and Jason White, Physical Therapy Assistant, from Senior TLC For information on additional podcasts, FREE in-person programs for care partners (caregivers), and more, please visit the ACAPcommunity website here.   No chapter in your area?
