Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, I sit down with my sister, writer, and nutritionist Kaya Purohit, to share the top three things we’re doing to help our parents stay healthy as they age. We discuss our dad’s challenges with knee osteoarthritis and hearing aids, the changes our mom has experienced since starting strength training, and why shifting food habits can feel like changing your identity. Along the way, we explore the role of protein, movement, and hearing health in healthy aging and why community and connection are essential to making these changes stick. If you’re looking to support a loved one’s health or make lasting changes to your own, this episode is for you.
