Colin Milner, Founder and CEO of the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), joins host Jim Narum on this week’s episode of Healthy Insights Podcast to discuss active aging.
Colin has been recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Health Influencers and is also part of the prestigious World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council Circle. When talking with Jim about how ICAA came about, Colin comments that he formed ICAA from frustration, because there was no one doing what they are doing today. He says the goal of ICAA is very simple, and that is to help change the way we age and address the fact that we need to be healthier longer to live better.
Colin tells Jim how compared to 30 years ago, we’re aging better when it comes to physical and mental capacity. Some important factors and recent trends include a change in attitudes and autonomy being a key factor, enabling people to do things for themselves, and providing solutions for a diversity of populations. Colin emphasizes how no two people age the same way and that personalization is crucial.
