Make it to 100
Derek Velez Partridge
"Make it to 100" is not a medical show but a proclamation, a tangible take on living well. This show is not about dying but living the best you can as long as you can. There's nothing more exciting than being alive, and what would it take to live to 100?Aging isn't the end of the world. Getting old is the plan; how we get there takes a plan. Derek is in his 50's, and they call that mid-life. Is it? He's hoping so but as we all know, making it to a 100 is rare but possible. He has been on the seesaw of weight gain and weight loss. At 50, Derek found himself with Kidney stones, high blood pressure, and cholesterol. While at the same time, daily adjusting to the common occurrence of phantom pain throughout his body. The time came when Derek had enough and refused to accept this 'New Normal." After changing the trajectory of his life by getting healthy, his next goal became how to make it to 100.
