Frailty isn’t just for the old—it’s here now, and it’s not just a physical thing. You build resilience by taking control of your health today and OPTIMIZING YOUR LIFESTYLE. You get weakness and early frailty by neglecting your body and mind. Choose resilience over weakness

@Gabepluguez Im glad your dad is well. I know you need a good hook. Slamming doctors doesn’t help you or anyone else in terms of the problems we face in the world. Your doctor didn’t tell your dad to eat garbage all day and get into the state he was in. Again - super glad he is well.
