Relax, I Got This! Podcast -- Embracing Life After 60

Episode 49: Embracing Life After 60: Nutrition and Healthy Aging: Eating Well for Life with Sharon Knapp

Robin McCoy

In this episode, host Robin sits down with Dr. Sharon, a nutrition expert and Senior Home Coach, to talk about one of the most important topics for longevity — how nutrition impacts aging.

Dr. Sharon shares her insights from decades of experience in nutrition, epidemiology, and senior health. Together, they explore why so many older adults are malnourished but not undernourished, how protein and B vitamins play a vital role in maintaining muscle and bone health, and why social connection is just as important as what’s on your plate.

You’ll learn:
 🍎 Why eating alone often leads to poor nutrition
 💪 The nutrients seniors most often lack — and how to fix it
 🥗 Practical, easy meal ideas for healthy aging
 🚶‍♀️ How social interaction supports physical and mental health
 🧠 The connection between diet, mood, and longevity

Whether you’re caring for an aging parent or planning for your own healthy future, this episode offers practical, science-based advice to help you or your loved ones age well — body, mind, and spirit.
