"The New Science of Aging Well" will be presented 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at Camarillo Health Care District. Presented by Dr. Tom Anderson, co-founder and chief medical officer of Metriq Health, this talk will focus on the latest science behind healthy aging, with particular emphasis on hormone and metabolic optimization — helping attendees better understand the changes that occur with age and the evidence-based strategies available to optimize long-term health, energy, body composition, and overall well-being. The session is designed to help adults better understand why energy, sleep, recovery, strength, body composition, and metabolic health often change with age, and what signals may be worth evaluating through a rigorous, evidence-based medical lens. It moves beyond simplistic hormone messaging and focuses on practical education around hormones, metabolism, muscle, cardiovascular risk, inflammation, recovery, and long-term vitality.
