Full of energy and vitality, actress Cheryl Ladd, known for fighting crime as one of Charlie’s Angels, is fit, active, and ready for action. When she was diagnosed with cataracts she wasn’t about to accept the limitations they imposed on her life. As with so many of the things we needlessly fear, cataracts now have good solutions. She shares her story with us, reminding us how far cataract surgery has come in the last few years. And David is relieved to understand that his future cataracts will not be debilitating. cherylladd.comSay hi to the AGEIST team!

Robin co-founded Chōsen Experiences to help people establish a lifelong habit of curiosity and learning. Through her journey from a competitive martial arts athlete to leading clean-tech venture capital investments, she personally saw how stress and pressure negatively affects people’s health and decision making. Her quest is to change the world by helping people expand their comfort zone and take on big challenges of all kinds. We all avoid the difficult things we don’t understand, but by facing these challenges with good support around us we learn these can be good and promising. She tells us how to create a default plan of daily self-care: movement, brain health, proper nutrition and, most importantly, recovery.“The key here is starting to build people to a place where they can be comfortable being uncomfortable.”https://www.chosenexperiences.com/https://www.thisischosen.com/Robin's List of Influential BooksNon-Violent Communication by Marshall B.
