Healthy to 100: Hidden Power of Social Connection w Kenneth Stern | The Aging Well Podcast | Ep. 315

What if the real secret to living a longer, healthier life isn’t just diet, exercise, or genetics — but the strength of your relationships? In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong sits down with Kenneth Stern, founder of the Longevity Project, host of Stanford’s Century Lives podcast, and author of the new book Healthy to 100: How Strong Social Ties Lead to Long Lives.

Drawing on global research and powerful personal stories, Stern reveals why the world’s longest-lived people thrive not simply because of physical habits, but because of their social ones. From intergenerational bonds to the way communities design social infrastructure, he explains how “social fitness” is just as essential to aging well as physical fitness.Together, we’ll explore why America’s culture of isolation is cutting lives short, what we can learn from countries that have added decades to their life expectancy, and how each of us can take practical steps to build a more connected — and therefore longer and healthier — life.Connect with Kenneth Stern and Healthy to 100:Podcast: Century LivesThe Longevity Project at https://www.longevity-project.comOn Instagram: @grand.people.longevity"Three Not-So-Bad Things About Aging and Longevity" | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/three-not-so-bad-things-6988195607605616640/
