A member asked:

I don't even want to go to senior yoga, so why should i have to see a geriatrician?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why Indeed: In my office you are not middle aged until 60 (and that number goes up in 2 yr and 5 days). Who you want to see is a doctor experienced with oxidative stress. Os is the reason we age. Manage that and you manage the aging process.
