Posted by Staff | Aug 8, 2026 | Not Ready For The Farm, Town Square

What if the secret to living a longer, healthier life has less to do with diet and supplements- and more to do with the people around you? In this episode, Judy and Jess welcome longevity expert and former NPR CEO Ken Stern, author of Healthy to 100. Drawing on research from some of the world’s longest-lived countries, Ken explains how social connection, purpose, lifelong learning, and intergenerational relationships can dramatically improve both lifespan and quality of life. It’s a fascinating conversation about what it really means to age well.
