Always Hungry? and Aging-Friendly Communities

Kathryn interviews NYTimes bestselling author & “obesity warrior” David Ludwig MD, PhD. Dr. Ludwig is a renowned endocrinologist and the author of “Always Hungry? Conquer Cravings, Retrain Your Fat Cells, and Lose Weight Permanently”. Dr. Ludwig’s groundbreaking studies show that overeating doesn't make you fat; the process of getting fat makes you overeat. Dr. Ludwig has been featured on NPR, ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Kathryn also interviews researcher and professor Amanda Lehning MSW, PhD and author of “Creating Aging-Friendly Communities”. Dr. Lehning examines the need to redesign America's communities to respond to the realities of our rapidly aging society. Drawing upon the most current knowledge from a variety of relevant disciplines – psychology, sociology, urban planning and environmental gerontology - she examines proven approaches for making communities more aging-friendly. Dr. Lehning is Assistant Professor of Social Work at the University of Maryland School of Social Work.
