RELAXATION

Relax without hangover
At our age, we've earned the right to make informed choices about how we relax. More people over 65 are joining the "sober curious" movement, not because they have to, but because they're choosing better options.
Meet Cycling Frog: award-winning THC seltzers that are changing the conversation about alcohol alternatives. Their Ruby Grapefruit won platinum at the 2025 LA Spirits Awards. These are legitimate, professionally crafted beverages made with real fruit juice and balanced hemp-derived ingredients.

HEARING AID
Our sponsor wants to help you hear every word—without spending thousands.
Sponsored by Audien Hearing
Why Are Traditional Hearing Aids So Expensive?
Here's what shocked Audien's founder when his grandmother needed hearing aids: the average pair costs $3,000 to $5,000—yet costs about $100 to manufacture. The markup? Middlemen. Hearing centers, audiologists, and resellers all inflate the price.
The Audien Atom One changes that. It's under $100, ships direct to your door, and requires no hearing test or prescription.

Message From the Publisher
When I reached 65, I realized that approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 every day over the next four years. In addition, over 50 million people are already 65+. I believe our generation deserves its own free, ad-supported, daily lifestyle newsletter with interesting news and fun facts created just for us. I hope you enjoy!
