WHAT WE’RE LOVING

🎬 Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones
In this new Netflix four-part series "Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones", Dan Buettner, takes viewers on a journey to the Blue Zones - regions with the highest number of centenarians, or people who live to 100. By stepping inside their homes and through interviews, Buettner highlights foods and lifestyles that positively impact their health (thanks Donna for sharing)!

Interested? Stay tuned for a discussion event on this show!

💊 Free Medicare Consultation with Keen

Friday 9/8 at 1-2pm EST: Podcast discussion on “How retirement changes your identity” (virtual)
How has your identity evolved after retirement? How do you respond when people ask "what do you do"?

Join us in discussing a podcast highlighting her research. RSVP here.
