Casting The Net - Reeling In Holistic Health

Ageless Strength: Finding Purpose, Connection, and Vitality

Martha Rice Season 2 Episode 44

In this inspiring episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Scott Gassner, a Functional Aging Specialist whose passion for helping older adults live fuller, more connected lives shines through every word.

One thing Scott emphasized was the critical importance of purpose and connection as we age. He’s seen firsthand that it’s not just the body that needs attention but maintaining a sense of meaning and meaningful relationships is just as vital. Without it, motivation fades, and both physical and emotional health can suffer.

What makes Scott’s approach so unique is his holistic coaching philosophy. He doesn’t just train bodies, he nurtures minds, spirits, and emotional resilience. His mission is to help clients become the best version of themselves, no matter their age.

We also dove deep into the dangers of isolation for older adults. Scott shared how a lack of social engagement often leads to a dangerous disconnect between mind and body. He works intentionally to help his clients stay connected, engaged, and thriving.

Another powerful part of our conversation centered around bridging the generational divide. Scott offered wisdom for both younger and older generations: encouraging young people to listen and learn from elders, and encouraging older adults to share their wisdom gently, in small, meaningful doses.

You don’t want to miss this episode, it’s a true masterclass in living with strength, purpose, and joy at every stage of life.
