About Becky Powers, MD AGSF
Hi, I'm Dr. Becky Powers—geriatrician, educator, and accidental lived expert in medical complexity.
As a doctor who specializes in caring for older adults, I've spent over a decade helping people navigate healthcare when their bodies start writing their own rules. I'm a professor, fellowship director, and nationally recognized educator who's trained thousands of physicians.
Plot twist: My own complex conditions have taught me that knowing medicine and living with medical complexity are two very different superpowers.
My Approach
I'm not here as the sage on the stage to teach you from the ivory tower. I'm hoping to be the guide by your side sharing tips and tricks. I'm also not here to sell you supplements, procedures, or promises about turning back the clock; but rather reframe and demystify aging and medical complexity.
We're all getting older and figuring out how to live our best lives while we do it. This is about healthy aging—sharing evidence-based content about health in an age-positive, approachable way and helping you develop the skills to navigate healthcare complexity with confidence, not magical thinking or miracle cures. Whether you're 35 or 85, dealing with one condition or ten, this is about building practical skills grounded in real science to advocate for yourself and live your best life at any age.
