Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Recent scientific research studies have reinforced the notion that the brain is like a muscle and if you don’t use it, you lose it. Join Kojo and a panel of medical experts on aging to discuss how to not only retain our mental powers as we grow older, but how to actually strengthen and improve them as we age.
Guests
- Dr. Robert Goldman Founder and Chairman of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine; and author of "Brain Fitness."
- Dr. Gene Cohen Director of the Center on Aging, Health, and Humanities at George Washington University
- Dr. Jerry Earll Professor of Medicine at Georgetown Medical Center and Medical Director of The Washington Home
