Metro Detroit LADIES (and gents!)! Here is the Broadcast Schedule for the first 6 episodes of The Embrace of Aging: a female perspective (I will reappear from Sardinia in episode 11 so stay tuned!), starting THIS AFTERNOON with Episode 1 (TODAYS AGING WOMAN) at 2:30-3:00pm on Channel 56 (Detroit Public Television): In this first episode we set the stage for 13-part series as our featured ladies and professionals all talk about what is means to age. Embrace your age. What does that really mean for most women? This history of how we age has changed with medical advancements. But even with access to better care, women still outlive the men in our lives. Episode 2: Sunday 10/19/14 - 2:30pm CHANGES IN LIFE We’ve all heard that term as it applies to menopause. But our bodies aren’t the only things that are impacted. So are our life goals, our relationships and even our self-concept. We explore how breast and ovarian cancer affect us as we age. Several of our professionals offer their own views along with women who are living through the day-to-day changes. We begin the journey in this episode with the devastating diagnosis of cancer and how this can turn a womans world upside down. Episode 3: Sunday 10/26/14 - 2:30pm FIGHTING CANCER We step into the lives of three brave women who are all living with breast cancer. Between doctors appointments, chemo and radiation treatments, our medical professionals help us better understand what breast cancer is. Episode 4: Sunday, 11/2/14 - 2:30pm MEN AND WOMEN In this episode, we hope to shed some light on how to grow old with your life partner—and still be in love. What role does romance play in our lives as we age? How does love affect our health? When couples live with mutual respect and remember to laugh, they can successfully grow old together - and it’s even better for their health! Episode 5: Sunday, 11/9/14 - 2:30pm SISTERHOOD As women, we know that having close girlfriends is important. We learn from several of our professionals just why a close circle of friends can improve your health. No matter where you hang out with your friends—at home, in a book club, on the phone—you’ll surely relate to these girlfriends as they climb high into the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, hanging out on the beaches of West Palm or just enjoying dinner at home in Detroit. Episode 6: Sunday, 11/16/14 - 2:30pm DIABETES / ARTHRITIS Millions of women in America today have type-2 diabetes. It’s a preventable disease that’s directly related to lifestyle, eating habits and how little we exercise. We turn to the doctors to help us better understand what type-2 diabetes is. One woman shares with us her struggles with type-2 diabetes. Arthritis...just about anyone over 50 can relate to soreness in the joints. We occasionally pop a pill to relieve the pain. But what happens when the mild arthritis leads to the deterioration of the joints? With the advancements in joint replacement, women who once would have been confined to the couch can once again live their lives. We step into the O.R. as one woman goes through a total knee replacement. #RealityMeetsScience TM
