On January 13th, 2026, Newswise featured an interview with AFAR Board Member Sara Espinoza, MD, on daily habits that support healthy aging and evidence-based strategies to keep New Year’s Resolutions.
Dr. Espinoza emphasized the impact of lifestyle changes, “Even starting with a resolution to walk more each day is beneficial, especially because there is evidence showing regular walking reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. My main message is any time working out is better than no time.”
Dr. Espinoza is an AFAR Board Member, as well as the Co-Chair of the Leadership Core of the Clin-STAR (Clinician-Scientists Transdisciplinary Aging Research) initiative, which AFAR helps lead. She also serves as the medical director of the Cedars-Sinai Healthspan Clinic and the director of the Center for Translational Geroscience at Cedars-Sinai.
