Dr. Stephanie Rogers | Age Well with Dr. Steph | Sound Legacy Podcast #14

Dr. Stephanie Rogers has spent her career doing something most people avoid: leaning into aging. As a geriatrician, reluctant Instagram educator, triathlete-in-training, and lifelong musician, she brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and genuine joy to one of life's most universal experiences. In this episode, we go back to the beginning. Stephanie grew up in Illinois playing music with her family before she had any idea she'd one day be teaching thousands of people how to age well. We discuss her love of learning, her drive to challenge herself, and how these traits carried her from childhood performances to medical school and beyond. We also get into the good stuff: what geriatrics actually is, why she fell in love with older adults, how to think about staying healthy as we age, and what it means to push yourself physically when you spend your days caring for people in their final chapters. She is currently training for a triathlon and raising money for Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly, which tells you everything you need to know about how she moves through the world. And, if she wasn't busy enough already, Dr. Stephanie has also developed an online course - Mastering the Art of Stress-Free Productivity.
