Episode 89: Dispelling Myths That Keep Us in Pain & Cause Us to Decline as We Age
Description
What if aging didn’t have to mean pain, stiffness, and slowing down? 🤔
In Episode 89 of the Serving Seniors Podcast, host Matt Helton sits down with Eileen Kopsaftis, BS, PT, FAFS, CMI, NE, Founder of Have Lifelong Wellbeing, to break down the biggest myths that keep us stuck in pain and believing decline is “just part of getting older.”
Eileen’s mission for more than 30 years has been simple but powerful:
👉 Teach people how to age without decline
👉 Be free of pain
👉 Have REAL life function as long as they live
And here’s the exciting part… she does it without drugs, procedures, or surgery.
👩⚕️ Meet Our Guest: Eileen Kopsaftis
Eileen is a physical therapist, chronic pain consultant, certified Applied Functional Science professional, MELT certified instructor, and nutrition educator. She specializes in identifying and correcting the root causes of pain — because often the painful body part is actually the victim of another area not doing its job.
After losing two brothers in their forties — one to cancer and one to heart disease — Eileen made it her life’s mission to improve the health and longevity of others.
Now at 67 (in 2025!), she takes no medications — not even over-the-counter — and has the energy to accomplish all her goals. And she firmly believes:
💬 “I’m not an anomaly. You can do this too.”
She teaches a Four Prong Approach that helps people:
✔ Reduce or eliminate chronic pain
✔ Restore function
✔ Improve mobility
✔ Age confidently and independently
You do NOT have to suffer with pain or chronic conditions.
