When Aging Untold begins airing this spring, Wichita viewers will see a familiar face on a national stage. Dr. Rhea Rogers, a Wichita-based physician whose career has evolved from traditional gynecology into functional and longevity medicine, is one of four experts featured on the new national weekday series.
Produced and distributed by Gray Media, Aging Untold is a 30-minute talk show that will begin airing at the beginning of March, Monday through Friday on more than 100 stations nationwide. Locally, viewers can watch the program in Wichita on KWCH at 3 p.m., and in the Kansas City metro area on KCTV at 12:30 a.m. and KSMO at 10 a.m.
The show also begins airing online Feb. 1 at AgingUntold.com, with episodes available on YouTube. Mobile apps and streaming TV platforms are expected to follow later this year.
How A Wichita Conversation Became A National Show
The path from Wichita to a national television platform began quietly in summer 2025.
Rogers had been collaborating locally with Katherine Ambrose, also from Wichita, an aging-well coach who regularly convenes senior-focused educational events and community conversations. Rogers often participated in those sessions as a medical expert, addressing aging-related health concerns and preventive care.
During one of those Wichita events, Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist based in California, was in town as a guest speaker. Afterward, Ambrose, Rogers and Cradduck continued the conversation informally, comparing notes on caregiving, cognitive decline, chronic disease and the growing gap between traditional medicine and the realities families face as they age.
Following that discussion, the group sat down and recorded a pilot-style sample episode, which was shared within media circles. Over the next several months, the recording made its way through industry channels and ultimately reached senior executives at Gray Media.
What followed was a rapid progression. Additional conversations and test recordings were requested, and by fall 2025 the concept had been approved as a nationally distributed weekday series.
Production for Aging Untold is organized around monthly filming blocks, with taping in Atlanta. Rogers travels once per month, typically for a week at a time, during which the panel records multiple episodes each day. According to Rogers, the team films about four shows per day, producing roughly 20 episodes during each production week.
Each episode centers on a primary theme related to aging, caregiving, health, finances or quality of life, with an emphasis on practical information and solutions.
A Broader Medical Focus
While many in Wichita know Rogers for her years practicing gynecology, her role on Aging Untold reflects a significant evolution in her medical work.
Since 2017, Rogers has transformed her practice into Medical Innovative Solutions, now located at 902 N. Hillside. Her work centers on functional, cellular and longevity medicine — an approach that focuses on identifying root causes of disease rather than treating symptoms alone.
Her work addresses chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance and cognitive decline, areas that often intersect as people age. On the show, Rogers brings that perspective to discussions aimed at helping viewers better understand their health and make informed decisions earlier in the aging process.
For Rogers, the national platform represents an extension of work she has been doing for years — educating patients, supporting families and helping people better understand how health, aging and quality of life are connected.
