SUMMARY:Breaking The Age Code
DESCRIPTION:What if changing your mind could add over seven years to your life? \nBased on the groundbreaking research of Yale professor Dr. Becca Levy\, this program explores the stunning mind-body connection revealed in her landmark book\, Breaking the Age Code\, proving that health issues like memory loss and hearing decline are deeply influenced by negative societal beliefs rather than just biology. \nThis discussion will challenge cultural stereotypes and uncover how positive age beliefs can literally transform how your genes operate. You’ll walk away with easy-to-follow techniques to boost your longevity\, reclaim your health\, and actively shape a more vibrant\, age-just future. \nFeaturing local therapists Dr. Miriam Engstrom\, Alison Pacifici\, and Frank Wilberding. \nCheck the Grosse Pointe Public Library or Harper Woods Public Library catalogs for copies of the book. \nBooks can also be borrowed from The Family Center\, just ask to borrow a copy when you register. \n\n
