Your Legacy – Caregiver or Care Receiver? – Darlene Greene

In this speech, retired U.S. Navy Commander and health advocate Darlene Greene reframes longevity through a question most people avoid until it’s too late: Will you spend the final decade of your life receiving care—or still capable of giving it?Drawing on insights from leading longevity experts and real-world caregiving experience, Darlene challenges the myth that independence is preserved later in life. Instead, she shows how strength, mobility, balance, cognitive resilience, and cellular health must be built decades earlier to maintain independence, dignity, and quality of life as we age.<br data-text="true">The session highlights the often-overlooked role of chronic stress, caregiver burnout, and declining cellular repair in accelerating loss of independence. Attendees will learn why caregivers frequently experience worse health outcomes than those they care for, and how symptom-focused medical approaches can fall short without addressing recovery and resilience at the cellular level.<br data-text="true">Through compelling stories and practical, science-backed strategies—including emerging non-drug approaches that support the body’s innate repair mechanisms—this talk inspires proactive action. Participants leave with a renewed sense of urgency, clarity, and hope, empowered to invest in their health today so they can remain strong, independent, and fully present for the people they love tomorrow.<br data-text="true">darlene.greene@mac.comhttps://iamreverseaging.comhttps://www.facebook.com/darlene.bennett.greenehttps://www.instagram.com/dbgreene/https://www.linkedin.com/in/darlenegreene/
