As we age, our digestive system changes in ways that can affect energy, immunity, comfort and overall well-being. The good news is there is a lot we can do about it. Join us for an informative evening with gastroenterologist Dr. Anoushka Dua, who will explore how the gut evolves after 60 and what steps you can take to support healthy digestion at every stage of life. Dr. Dua will cover common concerns such as changes in gut motility, the role of microbiome in healthy aging, dietary strategies that make a real difference and when symptoms warrant a conversation with your doctor. Whether you are managing a digestive condition or simply want to feel your best, this lecture offers practical, science-based guidance tailored to older adults.
