Do NOT give up on me: Practical tools for preventing and reversing frailty
Mike Studer

Where are your frail residents being served? Is anyone serving your frail patients, residents and family members? If exercise is medicine, these people just need more of it, right?

As activity directors, class leaders, trainers and therapists, we need to be able to create the correct care dosage, for the correct person, at the correct time. It’s the very definition of precision wellness. Yet this movement has apparently left behind people who are frail. Have we given up on the 33% of persons over 65 who experience frailty—at an additional cost of over $12,000 per person with frailty per year?

Join Dr. Mike Studer for this comprehensive course on frailty, exploring the issue from prevention through recovery across all forms of the condition: physical, social, cognitive and more.

You’ll be able to:

• Define the various forms of frailty.
• Identify three strategies to prevent physical and cognitive frailty and three strategies to reverse physical and cognitive frailty.
• Translate the science regarding physiologic roles and offer practical applications in sleep hygiene, nutrition and social connectivity to manage frailty.
