Healthy aging doesn’t happen by chance, and it can look different for everyone. But few people model an active and engaged second half of life quite like Joan Lunden, the award winning journalist who has been a trusted voice in American homes for 50 years. Many people know her from Good Morning America, as a bestselling author, a fierce advocate for women’s health or from A Place for Mom commercials.
In this episode of Living Well with Alison Starling, Lunden shares her experiences with caregiving in the sandwich generation, battling breast cancer and reinvention. She just released her memoir, Joan: Life Beyond the Script, as she reflects on her career, aging and how she’s squeezing the most out of her life today.
Plus, hear from Dr. Michelle Lee, geriatric and internal medicine physician, VHC Health, on supporting healthy aging for yourself or the ones you love.
