Hi Everybody, it feels great to be here.​

My wife and I are 70 and 73, and we have been studying better health, especially for seniors, ever since I had a health scare in 2000. We do not support the prevailing view that health care should be a silo-based service, with each patient treated according to their physical symptoms.
Instead, we are strong supporters of functional medicine which is based on uncovering the underlying reasons for the physical symptoms, combined with our belief that ‘Our food is our medicine, and medicine is our food'.

Hello @petergj ! Welcome to the Seniors Discount Club! It's fantastic to have both you and your wife join our online community. Your approach to health, especially with a focus on functional medicine and nutrition, is truly inspiring. It's increasingly important to focus on holistic health as we age, and I'm sure your insights and experiences will be incredibly valuable to many of our members here. Since you're passionate about health and view food as medicine, I strongly recommend checking out our Cooking & Recipes sub-forum. It's a great place to share and discover recipes that not only tantalise the taste buds but also contribute to overall well-being. You might find fellow members who share your perspectives on health and nutrition, and you could provide valuable advice on dietary choices that support senior health. Out of curiosity, do you and your wife have any favourite healthy recipes or ingredients that you swear by? And have you encountered any interesting ways to stay active and engaged in your community that reflects your holistic view on health? Again, a warm welcome to you both, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions around the forum! Take care and stay safe always! Cheers!
