In part one of this two-part episode on Fending Off Falls, Dr. Roger Landry, MD, MPH, gerontologist Cera Meintzer, and positive psychology and mindfulness coach, Danielle Palli, discuss the dangers of falling as we age. They share the statistics around falls, and what we need to be aware of in our external (e.g. slip-and-trip hazards) and internal environments (such as vision and hearing), assessing our fall risks and getting over the fear of falling.
