This series is designed to help you assess how you measure up for retirement and the opportunities available for you to work toward the physical and financial future that you desire to create for yourself. I will help try to identify some of the physical/biological variables, and the RBC experts will help try to identify some of the financial considerations.  Hopefully you find this combination of information helpful as you plan for the many types of change ahead in this exciting phase of life. Our main intention is that it helps you to understand the point that your physical health to some degree influences your financial needs and requirements.

My research specialty is to discover mechanisms to prevent illness and injury by understanding movement- and lifestyle-related aspects of health through its educational, research, and service activities. I'm very committed to advancing research that will help improve the quality of life of Canadians, and this issue is becoming even more critical as we live longer and longer lives.  I'm delighted to launch the first in this research series and I hope that the information is useful as you plan for your retirement.
