The nutrition needs of people change as they age. Stomach acidity, tissue laxity, dentition, polypharmacy, and decreased microbiome diversity all present unique challenges to nutrient absorption. They also play a crucial role in the development and progression of common chronic diseases of aging like diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, and bone health. In this presentation I will discuss how specific changes that come with age can be supported through nutrition and supplementation. I will also outline specific herbs and diet protocols that help support nutrient absorption and microbiome diversity.
