Hi, I’m Tyson Garfield!

Hi, I’m Dr. Tyson Garfield—a geriatrician, educator, and advocate for healthy aging and financial literacy. I created this blog as a space to share insights, break down complex healthcare topics, and explore what it means to age well with intention, dignity, and humor.

I earned my medical degree from the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) in Fort Worth, TX, completed my Internal Medicine residency at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC, and went on to specialize in Geriatric Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver. I’m board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine, and currently serve on the American Board of Internal Medicine’s Geriatric Medicine Specialty Board.

In addition to my clinical and academic work, I’m deeply invested in empowering others through financial education. I'm a Certified Financial Educator and serve on the advisory board for the Texas State Financial Educator Council, helping shape educational policy and resources that support long-term financial well-being.

I live in Denver, Colorado with my partner, Lauren. Outside of medicine, I’m most at home on a hiking trail, logging miles on a run, or at a good game night.

Thanks for visiting—let’s explore the future of aging, together.
