Dr. Dan sits down with ophthalmic surgeon and internationally bestselling author Dr. Durga Larkin to explore a powerful topic that affects us all: aging. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Durga reframes aging not as a period of decline, but as a time of expansion. Together, Dr. Dan and Dr. Durga examine why some of our most meaningful and fulfilling years may still lie ahead. Drawing from her book Timeless Vision: Empowered Aging Redefined, Dr. Durga shares insights that invite us to reconsider what it truly means to grow older—with purpose, courage, and greater self-awareness.
Dr. Durga shares how a life-altering injury forced her to confront her own identity and resilience.

This experience transformed Dr. Durga, and she emerged with clarity, empowerment, and an expanded vision for her next chapter.
