Judy and I talk about whether we older adults are our own worst enemies when it comes to ageism, and how our perception about age changes as we get older. We talk about eating healthfully, exercising and training our brains, her blog and her book 0-Something: Life, Love and Limits in the Bonus Years. Judy advises us to wring the most out of every day and be grateful
