About The Art of Healthy Aging
Healthy aging is both an art and a science. It requires knowledge of the science behind aging and how to apply it to one's own life. The science of aging involves understanding the physical, psychological, and social effects of aging. This includes knowing what kind of physical activity is beneficial, understanding the risk factors for diseases, and knowing the importance of nutrition and proper sleep. On the other hand, the art of aging is being able to use this knowledge in a way that best suits one's own lifestyle and values. It includes finding ways to stay mentally and physically active, engaging in meaningful activities, maintaining relationships, and finding joy in life. Healthy aging is a combination of understanding the science of aging and applying it in a way that is meaningful and enjoyable. My goal is to use my expertise in science, medicine, nursing, and human behavior to guide you on your journey to a healthy aging.
About Dr. Monica
Monica Simpson, DNP, APRN
Hi! I'm Monica! Years ago, my husband and I served as our parents' caregivers. Does this sound familiar? Do you recall how you felt watching your parents age and become increasingly dependent on family for help? A sense of duty, love, and perhaps a twinge of guilt crept in as you realized you didn't want to ever be in the same situation. That self-reflection is exactly what I needed to take control of my own health in order to remain the vibrant, healthy individual I saw in the mirror. Now, I'm on a mission to help women just like you achieve a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle in their later years. How you feel about yourself affects your health. My goal is to explore holistic living and a healthy lifestyle as they relate to all aspects of your life. I would love to hear your thoughts, fears, triumphs, and outlook about the process of aging. Message me in the box below. Let's help each other.
