About Us - Advisory Board

Move It or Lose It are on a mission to transform the health and wellbeing of our nation's older adults. With the support of our advisory board, we're at the forefront of active aging, helping to combat loneliness, and reducing social isolation.

Together we're commited to helping future generations to move more, sit less, and age well!
