Nathan Rhodes

Nathan Rhodes focuses on brain and nerve health, covering memory lapses, early nerve-damage warning signs, and the disrupted sleep patterns that many people chalk up to "just getting older" but that are often worth a closer look. He also writes about arthritis, foot health, and the fruits and habits that can quietly speed up aging, along with practical guidance on spotting the senior scams that target readers and their families. He writes for readers who want to understand what's normal aging and what's worth flagging to a doctor, breaking down the research into questions they can actually ask at their next appointment. When he's away from his desk, Nathan can usually be found birdwatching along the local trails with a battered pair of binoculars he's had for years, or teaching his grandkids the chess openings his own grandfather once taught him, a habit he jokes keeps his own memory sharp. He keeps a small notebook of the birds he's spotted each season and likes to compare notes with a couple of neighbors who share the hobby. Nathan also tends a small vegetable patch behind his house, though he'll admit his tomatoes have a mixed track record, and he spends most weekend mornings with a cup of coffee and the crossword before anyone else in the house is awake.
