In episode 212 of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch welcomes Dr. Julian Gershon Jr., a triple board-certified physician in family medicine, sports medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Gershon is the author of Beyond the Fountain of Youth, a compelling guide to optimizing vitality, preventing age-related decline, and redefining what it means to grow older.
Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience and personal practice, Dr. Gershon shares how his own transformation as an aging athlete led him into the field of regenerative medicine. Together, he and Dr. Lockitch explore powerful, science-backed strategies that can enhance both lifespan and healthspan—the years we live well. From hormone optimization to peptide therapies and red light treatments, Dr. Gershon explains how these tools support cellular health, fight inflammation, and reverse the effects of environmental toxins. He addresses common myths about hormone replacement, especially in women with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, and explains the critical differences between synthetic and natural hormone therapies. This episode also dives into emerging regenerative solutions like peptides (BPC-157, AOD-9604, and more), red light therapy for pain and skin rejuvenation, and the foundational role of nutrition and micronutrient support. Aligning with the Growing Older Living Younger concept, Dr. Gershon emphasizes that many symptoms of “normal aging” are in fact avoidable and often reversible—if we are willing to become proactive students of our own biology.Listeners will also appreciate the discussion on the importance of mindset, self-talk, and spiritual and emotional resilience in aging well. Dr. Gershon and Dr. Lockitch share their personal insights on living with purpose, managing stress, and embracing daily rituals that uplift the body and the mind. Whether you're in your 40s or your 80s, this conversation is packed with actionable insights and empowering wisdom to help you live younger, longer.

In episode 191 of Growing Older, Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch explores the transformative potential of anger with Bronwyn Schweigerdt, a licensed psychotherapist, anger expert, and host of “Angry at the Right Things” podcast. Bronwyn has masters degrees in both Counseling and Nutrition. She shares her unique journey, from a career in nutrition to becoming a psychotherapist, inspired by her personal struggles with severe depression and anxiety. Through her story, she highlights how suppressed anger often manifests as anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms, emphasizing the importance of addressing its root causes. Bronwyn reframes anger as a signal from the body—much like a warning light on a car dashboard—alerting us to unresolved issues or unmet needs. Rather than suppress or avoid it, she advocates for acknowledging anger, attuning to it, and channeling it healthily through boundaries, assertive communication, or accountability.The discussion delves into the role of childhood experiences in shaping our emotional responses and the impact of shame and betrayal on mental health. Bronwyn emphasizes the need to heal our relationship with anger to foster self-integration and wholeness. By understanding anger as a natural and necessary emotion, we can cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves and others. Listeners are encouraged to view anger not as a flaw but as a tool for self-awareness and growth. This empowering conversation will provide valuable insights into how embracing and managing anger constructively can lead to greater emotional resilience and well-being.

In EPISODE 182 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, Dr. Thomas Weimbs and Dr. Gillian Lockitch discuss the prevalence and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects one in seven adults in the U.S. Dr. Weimbs highlights the importance of diet and lifestyle in managing CKD, particularly through ketogenic metabolic therapy. He explains that ketosis, induced by a low-carbohydrate diet, can slow the progression of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) by reducing inflammation and improving kidney function. Dr. Weimbs describes the Ren-Nu program, a three-month nutrition and lifestyle intervention for kidney disease patients, which has shown significant improvements in kidney function and pain reduction for many participants. Whether you’re affected by kidney disease, have a family history, or are simply interested in how nutrition and epigenetic strategies can support healthy aging, this episode will provide invaluable insights.
Thomas Weimbs PhD is a leading expert in kidney disease research. He is a professor at the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) where he directs a research laboratory focused on polycystic kidney disease. He received his doctoral degree from the University of Cologne, Germany, and then conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California in San Francisco. In 1999, as an assistant professor, he started his first independent research laboratory at the Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic. There, his research on polycystic kidney disease began with the support of a local family affected by PKD and whose family foundation still supports PKD research in Dr. Weimbs’ lab today. In 2005, Dr. Weimbs moved his laboratory back to California to join the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at UCSB. The laboratory studies molecular mechanisms underlying PKD with an emphasis towards developing new therapies. Recent research has led to the discovery that dietary interventions and natural metabolites strongly slow PKD progression in animal models. This led to the launch of Santa Barbara Nutrients with the goal to make these approaches available for the nutritional management of PKD.

In EPISODE 169 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, I again talk with Jennifer Powers PhD, co-author with Luke Comer, of the newly released book, On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance your Quality of Life. We explore foundational areas in which evolutionary mismatch between humans and modern society may lead to various diseases and pathologies. In Part 1 we focussed on the importance of accommodating our sleep and nutrition lifestyles in the context of contemporary life, while respecting our ancestral blue print. In this episode, Part 2, we explore the ancient balance between work and rest in the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, realizing that it is challenging to balance productivity and well-being in the modern workplace with the need to reconnect with nature for personal well-being. We acknowledged the evolving science on climate change and the need to balance technological advancements with preserving the natural environment.Jenny Powers is a mom, a writer, a scientist and an athlete from Colorado. Jenny's PhD is in immunology, but she left academia to be a mom and to pursue a writing career. Up to that point, she had only written scientific journal articles and fiction for middle grade children. The opportunity to research and write on the origin of being with Luke Comer, allowed her scientific training and passion for writing to come together harmoniously.

In EPISODE 168 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER I talk with Jennifer Powers PhD, co-author with Luke Comer, of the newly released book, On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance your Quality of Life. I found this book to be both a fascinating and captivating read, and an intensively researched and reference text. So the overall thesis of the book is that the environment that we live in today is radically different from the one in which we evolved. And the agricultural revolution when we stopped being hunter gatherers, and later the Industrial Revolution, exponentially accelerated the rate of change in our lifestyles. It takes a immeasurably long time for the evolutionary process to occur in the human body and we have not had the time for our bodies to genetically adjust to our environment. This evolutionary mismatch is a key factor in many of the disorders of modern life. Jenny Powers is a mom, a writer, a scientist and an athlete from Colorado.

Acknowledging the dual nature of alcohol consumption, we discuss how self-awareness, mindfulness, and responsible consumption can mitigate negative impacts on the body and mind. Dr. Wellapilli suggests we undertake a transformative journey of reclaiming our higher powersin order to shift from human “doings’ to human ‘beings’. We do this by breaking free of cycles of overthinking, worrying and feeling overwhelmed by all the things we believe we should be doing. And instead nurturing our spiritual health, and tapping into the deeper wisdom of the soul or higher mind.
Dr. Sam left her thriving career as a family doctor in London, because she experienced the pain of living according to the expectation of others, and working in a conventional system that did not allow for the vital spiritual element of each person to be honoured. She spent time traveling and studying in Asia, and the Americas. With support from incredible teachers, she found her mission to help others release their self doubt and old patterns to find their own inner strength and healing. Dr. Sam is an inspiring mentor, who has worked with leading health professionals, corporate groups, and high flying women around the globe. Honing skills through the life and soul medicine methodology, she helps women release old patterns of self doubt to find their spark again.

EPISODE 157 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on one of the key pillars of the Growing Older Living Younger Roadmap for healthy aging - positive relationships built through personal and community connections. We recognize the importance of positive relationships in counteracting negative, stress-response evoking emotions such as loneliness or sadness, that impact physical and mental health. When there is strife within a partnership or a marriage, a vicious cycle may ensue, of negative emotions causing stress responses, which in turn causes partners to engage in further angry behaviors, triggering more negative emotions. Anger is one of the most effective emotions in damaging a relationship. Feelings of annoyance, outrage or hostility, release stress hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, and ramps up the negative ways in which the couple interact with each other. But what if there is a simple and fun way to break the cycle of blame and recrimination ?
In today’s episode I talk with Rod Jeter, who asks the simple question, “Why Be angry?” A couple of years ago, Rod and his wife were kicked out of marriage counselling in what was just the fifth, of what was supposed to be twelve, sessions. Rod admits it was clearly his fault for being stubborn. So he set to work to create a game to help couples resolve their disagreements in minutes. This game is YBAngry. We discuss how and why the game works to fix relationships and resolve differences.

EPISODE 156 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on the powers of love, resilience, curiosity and courage to enable one to survive the most profound and catastrophic childhood traumas imaginable. Used wisely, those same powers will lead us to age gracefully to live younger longer. My guest today exemplifies survival through courage and resilience. Eighty-eight year old Janet Singer Applefield, holocaust survivor and author of “Becoming Janet: Finding Myself in the Holocaust”, was given away by her parents when she was seven years old. It was days before her parents were forced to report for a mandatory selection, the Nazis term for systematically separating those to be immediately murdered, from those to be worked to death. She survived the holocaust by hiding on a farm under a false identity. Miraculously, her father survived the camps and 3 years, found her in an orphanage. Janet learned 72 years later, that her mother had been exterminated at the Belzec death camp. If there's anyone who can teach us about bravery, resilience and hope, it is Janet Singer Applefield, through her memoir, showing how profound tragedy can be transformed into hope, self determination, and ultimately joy.
Episode Timeline
0:11 Resilience, courage, and hope in the face of childhood trauma and the Holocaust.
5:13 Janet’s Holocaust survival story, starting with her separation at age 7 from her parents

26:00 Sharing insights on preparing for retirement and finding purpose in older age.
30:7 Gratitude for the heroes of her story, who saved her life at the risk of losing their own and how the smallest act of kindness has a ripple effect.

EPISODE 155 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on travel and the value of seeking out and relishing new experiences for living young. My favourite form of travel was dance cruising and for years I shared my Dance Cruise Travelblogues on my lifestyles website. When covid hit us and the world shut down, travel, and especially dance cruising, was no longer feasible. Now like many of my contemporaries, I am ready to fill the holes in my travel bucket list. And so I'm specially delighted to talk today with Rodney George, a luxury travel consultant with over 15 years of experience in the travel industry. Rodney leads an agency of travel professionals with a combined 185 years of travel experience, dedicated to providing personalized service and curating perfect travel experiences. Whether it's a romantic getaway or a family vacation, Rodney’s extensive knowledge of the best hotels, resorts and destinations around the world, as well as the latest safety protocols and travel trends, allows him to tailor each trip to his client’s specific needs and preferences.

EPISODE 154 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER illustrates the importance of mental attitude and physical activity for enhancing health span. Today I talk with triathlon and endurance coach, Joe Friel. With a master's degree in Exercise Science, Joe was a marathoner and running coach throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. After his first triathlon in 1983 he began coaching multi sport athletes, becoming one of the first triathlon coaches in the country. His book The Triathletes Training Bible, remains the best selling book on triathlon training. Joe currently lives and trains in the mountains of northern Arizona. It struck me that Joe Friel is a poster child for Super-Aging, and I wanted him to share with us, the inner drive and passion for his sport that keeps him fit and actively training in his 80s Some of the most frequent concerns I hear from participants in the Change Your aging Master Plan is that their activity level has decreased with age. Many have arthritis, fibromyalgia, or osteoporosis, and are much less inclined to keep mobile and active throughout the day. The first chapter in Joe's Triathletes Training Bible shows that a mental toughness mindset combining commitment, confidence and patience, is the key to success as a triathlete. I believe also that an essential key to aging youthfully is maintaining a mindset that with commitment, confidence and patience, we can remain physically and mentally vibrant, energized and active throughout our life.

EPISODE 153 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on the healing power of creativity through expression of the visual arts. Art therapy in the broadest sense is a form of psychotherapy that allows individuals to express themselves in ways that words cannot. It provides a safe outlet for emotions, thoughts, and experiences. In previous episodes we have explored dance therapy and music therapy. Visual art forms include painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, video and film.
I talk with Karen DeLoach, artist, art mentor, author, actor and Creativity Specialist. After a 30+ year career as a home school mom, private and public school art and film teacher, Karen became an online Creativity Specialist and art mentor. She currently teaches art history and appreciation in college, using textbooks that she has written and she can bear witness to the healing power of art. She believes that most of us have had our sensitive, intuitive, imaginative, right-brain brilliance trivialized, wounded and under-developed but that creativity is within us all. Karen and her husband have a home-based ministry and home group called Imagine Gathering.

THIS EPISODE OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on the enigmatic world of scalar energy, a force explored by Nikola Tesla in the 1800’s, yet remains outside the realm of mainstream physics or conventional healthcare today. We will explore origins and claims about the diverse array of applications of this force.
My guest expert on scalar energy,Tom Paladino, is on a personal mission to make a difference in the world by providing people with the education and tools to restore optimum health and enhance their quality of life. Tom's thesis is that scalar energy or scalar light works with the quantum field, the consciousness of the universe, to activate humanity's own innate healing ability. Tom describes that working through a person's photograph, scalar energy has the power to break down molecular bonds of pathogens, bacteria, fungi, and much more in the body. Tom has scalar energy programs for anti aging, hormones, nutrition, balancing chakras, removing toxins, deepening spirituality, improving cognitive function, and overall well being. In response to my scepticism about this energy force operating through a photograph, I asked Tom to help me understand not only that it works but how it works.
Episode Timeline 0:11 Intro to scalar energy and its effects on health and well-being.
4:06 Scalar energy and its applications.
15:02. Energy healing and its effects on the brain and emotions.

THIS EPISODE OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER highlights a unique carbon nano molecule, a C60 fullerene, that potentially may enhance longevity and promote healthy aging. This carbon molecule was so significant that the discovery earned three scientists the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Now it appears that it might play a major role in protecting key antioxidants in the body.
Today’s Featured Expert is scientist and entrepreneur, Chris Burres. Chris has an extensive background in a diverse range of areas including Mechanical Engineering, Oil and Gas Explosives, Comedy Improv Artist, and Competitive Soccer. In 1991 he founded the first company to deliver carbon nano materials and two years later, he earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Houston.
Chris is the co-founder of MyVitalC company. When he realized that one of the chemicals he sold, ESS60, the subject of the aforementioned Chemistry Nobel Prize, had been shown to significantly increase the lifespan of mammals, he struggled with the moral implications of marketing ESS60, as a supplement. So today’s conversation will hopefully range from carbon chemistry, carbon nano materials specifically fullerenes, to the potential human benefits of these antioxidants and ethics of supplement marketing.

In last week’s episode I spoke with award-winning Clinician-Scientist, and 40+ year University of British Columbia Endocrinology Professor. Dr. Jerilynn Prior, about the Paradox of Perimenopause. Dr. Prior’s research and innovative concepts has shown that progesterone must be in balance with estradiol for wellbeing and fertility during the premenopausal years and that progesterone decreases menopausal Vasomotor Symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats, and increases bone formation.
In this second conversation with Dr. Prior, we look at aging and how our hormones, or lack there of, play a key role in many of the problems which we consider to be part of aging. We discuss her 5 top strategies for healthy aging. Avoid falls and therefore fractures, Maintain heart health, Treat vasomotor symptoms, Get a good night’s sleep, and maintain relationships and a sense of community.

The changes in our metabolism and body systems that we associate with aging are variable, and manifest at different times in different individuals. Presbyopia, the difficulty in close up focussing that requires us to get reading glasses, may become problematic in the early forties for some, while others may not experience it until much later in life. Other aging associated changes like wrinkles from loss of elasticity in our skin, thinning, baldness or greying of our hair, or increasing middle-age spread, also become evident in individuals at different ages. As women, we become accustomed from puberty, to cyclical fluctuations in our physiology associated with hormonal changes. These effects are magnified as we transition through menopause and peri-menopause too is variable in timing and duration.
Today I speak with award-winning Clinician-Scientist, and 40+ year University of British Columbia Endocrinology Professor. Dr. Jerilynn Prior, about the Paradox of Perimenopause. Dr. Prior’s research and innovative concepts are changing women’s reproduction. She shows that progesterone must be in balance with estradiol for wellbeing and fertility during the premenopausal years, and for lifelong good health. In an upcoming episode, Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Prior, we will be discussing healthy aging, the Growing Older Living Younger mission of aging gracefully and living younger, longer.
In 2002, Dr. Prior founded the UBC Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research. She is an internationally recognized thought leader on menstrual cycles, ovulation, perimenopause, menopause, osteoporosis prevention and treatment of night sweats. Her controlled trials show that progesterone decreases menopausal Vasomotor Symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats, and increases bone formation.

Welcome back to this special end of year, Boxing Day episode of Growing Older Living Younger. Aging is inevitable. Aging in poor health is not. The theme of today’s episode is changing aging. Although we inherit our intrinsic genetic DNA blueprint from our parents, over our lifetime, extrinsic factors modify how our genes are expressed - the science of switching genes on and off, is known as epigenetics. Although we start life with the genetic blueprint from our parents, over time through myriads of extrinsic forces combined with the lifestyle choices we make and habits we practice, we are the contractor who shapes our intrinsic blueprint to construct the person we become.The overarching goal of this podcast, my book, and the Growing Older Living Younger program is to show you how small changes in lifestyle and habits can have a big impact on your health and vitality as you age. As I relate in my book, during the process of recovery and rehabilitation from spinal surgery, I realized that I needed to reevaluate the way I was living, to change the downward trajectory of my aging so that I would extend my health span - the length of lifespan that I would remain in optimal health. My goal became to minimize the so called aging-associated disorders, to stay mentally and physically active, vibrant and joyful, metaphorically dancing till the end of life.Over time and deep diving into health and aging research, I evolved my unique personal Roadmap for Growing Older Living Younger. Within the 7 Fundamental Pillars I designed specific strategies designed to promote my health, minimize aging effects and counteract ageism.Growing Older Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably, was published a month before my 76th birthday, the same time that I launched this Growing Older Living Younger podcast, to bring you the stories and the wisdom of experts in the 7 fundamental areas of aging well.In reviewing the lineup of interviews, I looked at whether these diverse conversations led me to make changes in the design and details of my Road Map. 2022 kicked off with the first of 12 episodes that focused on nutrition, what, when and how we eat. We discussed how our understanding of Vitamin D requirements has changed and the key roles Vitamin D plays in our health. Subsequent podcasts discussed time restricted eating or intermittent fasting, dieting versus intuitive eating, tissues around plant-based diet and toxins in so-called superfoods and gluten in our foods. There were episodes about various aspects of mindset, the way in which we think about aspects of our lives from personal and communal relationships, how leaving a legacy, approaching retirement, and persisting till success happens. Several episodes looked at various aspects of aging such as technology to assist or monitor aging, ageism and how we respond to it, and creating appropriate living and social environments. With respect to aging and the body, episodes focused on eye disease specifically glaucoma, prostate health, skin health, hair loss and approaches to self healing. We discussed maintaining cognitive skills and delaying dementia through brain training and dance, and adequate sleepAs I reflect on these conversations, most of the recommendations and takeaway messages aligned well with the details of my personal Road Map which I outline in this podcast. As an ongoing challenge and to expand my network and community I have my entrepreneurial wellness and anti-aging business, my weekly podcast and have started the Growing Older Living Younger Community.When I looked back at my family health history I wish I had paid more attention to prevention in my earlier years. It makes me think that a second version of my upcoming program, Reset Your Aging Blueprint, which was planned for the 50 + age group, should be offered for the 30 to 50 year old cohort since we know for example, that the ground work for later development of osteoporosis is laid down in the peri-menopausal period. By changing our nutritional lifestyle early we could avoid the middle aged spread and later obesity and other related disorders.
Through my book, this podcast, my guest appearances on other shows, and the Growing Older Living Younger Private Community, I hope to get the message out that our genes need not define our destiny. While there may be aspects of our health that we cannot change, there are many things that we can influence by the choices we make and the habits we can put into practice. I have found ways that work for me to help me grow older gracefully and joyfully. I would love to help you find your personal roadmaps to living younger longer.To discover how to Reset Your Aging Blueprint and create your own roadmap to living younger as you grow older, you can schedule a free Discovery Call with me or email me at askdrgill@gmail.com.

What biomarkers does your doctor measure? During my conversation with experts practising in diverse fields of wellness and healthy longevity, something that rarely comes up is the use of biomarkers, either to suggest a practice direction or to monitor results of interventions. As a Medical Biochemist, and past director of a department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, for me, precise and accurate outcome measurement is a fundamental tenet of good practice. In today’s conversation we are going to discuss how biomarkers can be used to optimize health and performance and how we can use food as medicine.My guest today is Ari Tulla, a San Francisco-based entrepreneur, angel investor and advisor, with a portfolio of 40 startups, including Virta Health, Good Eggs, and Ōura. Ari was the CEO of Quest Analytics, the market leader in doctor data and network management, and co-founder and CEO of BetterDoctor, a doctor search engine. He is the co-founder & CEO of Elo, the smart nutrition service, whose mission is to transform food from the leading cause of disease, to medicine. When not working or co-parenting his two young children with his wife, Ari spends his time on the steep cliffs, powdery slopes, and big cold waves that only Northern California can offer. I asked Ari whether tackling the steep cliffs and big cold waves was done to trigger hormesis, the principle that short, intermittent bursts of stressors like extreme cold trigger a cascade of cellular reactions that enhance overall health, slow aging, to make one more resilient to future stress. Or does he just surf and ski for the fun of it? He said both. We discussed how biomarkers as part of a comprehensive battery of test can be useful in directing the use of food and medicine.Learn more about Ari at the links in the show notes.https://www.linkedin.com/in/aritulla/

In today’s conversation, I speak with Sally Norton, a nutritionist with a unique specialty— warning us that “healthy” eating, and so-called superfoods, can make us sick. Like most of us, I grew up with, and have an ingrained belief, that fruits and vegetables are good and essential to a healthy diet. Although I knew that plant toxins like phytates and oxalates in excess could cause mineral deficiencies, kidney stones and gout, I had not considered the health burden that may be imposed on individuals and society consuming a plant only diet. Popular foods such as spinach, sweet potatoes, chocolate, and almonds contain large amounts of naturally occurring toxins called oxalate. Health research and educator, Sally K. Norton, MPH, studies the science of oxalates, and how our healthy diets may ironically be undermining our health. Sally K. Norton, MPH, earned her nutrition degree from Cornell University. By sharing her own experience and knowledge of oxalates, she has helped many people improve their health and recover from serious illnesses, chronic pain, kidney problems, osteopenia, and chronic infections by making simple changes to their diet.

Today’s guest is the speaker, "no one will ever forget," Sabine Becker. As one of the 5000 babies born to German mothers given thalidomide during pregnancy, Sabine was born with very small arms. She embraced a mindset of hope, defied her own limiting beliefs by creating her acronym P.U.S.H. ~Persevere Until Success Happens and learned to navigate an "Armed World" by using her feet for all daily tasks. After a near death experience from a stroke, she needed every ounce of P.U.S.H. to recover. Today she inspires others to overcome their challenges. Her story is truly inspirational.
When I think about healthy longevity, ranking right up there in importance with optimal nutrition and keeping active, is the mindset with which we approach growing older. Whenever I hear people say “I’m too old to learn new tricks” or “It’s no wonder I have this problem, I’m just getting old”, I realize that those people have set themselves on a downward trajectory to aging in poor health.

This special episode is coming to you from Podapalooza, the virtual event where podcast hosts and speakers meet to record podcasts and make new hosting and speaking connections. I was a featured Podapalooza podcast host at the most recent event where I talked with a variety of interesting speakers.
The overall focus of these interviews centered around tips, tools
and strategies to enhance mental physical and social health, or to support work or entrepreneurial business productivity. In today's episode, my three guests show me techniques to release my voice and share my wisdom. It was fun, if sometimes humbling, being the subject of these teachings.
First, Alan Carroll, transformational psychologist shows me how to find the space between the words that will allow me to be physically relaxed and grounded to access the strategy and wisdom that lies within that space.
Next Lynn Himmelmann, Toronto's Most Infectious Laugher Champion, makes me laugh and teaches me how the process of laughing releases my voice to create confidence and therefore enhance my ability to communicate effectively.
And in our last segment, Cowboy Wisdom Hypnoacuity practitioner, Robert A Wilson, shows me a simple induction test to assess how susceptible I may be to hypnotherapy
I hope you've enjoyed these three short excerpts from the interviews of three of my guests. Please click on the link here to let me know if you would like to hear more from these speakers in a complete episode. I would appreciate your feedback.

Throughout the animal kingdom, from fruit flies to worms to primates, one of the critical keys to longevity, or lifespan, and even more important, health span, is caloric restriction. Ensuring that you obtain all the essential nutrients, yet eat less of them, is one of the ways to do that. Eating food within a narrow time window rather than continually throughout the day, also flips genetic switches that cleanse our cells and support a healthy metabolism. While many experts affirm the health value of fasting in different ways, the question of what is meant by healthy nutrition arouses much more controversy.
Today I talk with Dr. Joseph Anton, CEO and board chairman of L-Nutra, a nutrition technology company. Dr. Anton has dedicated his extensive professional experience to reforming health systems towards preventative care, creating a market for healthy aging by launching the first healthy aging product, and emphasizing fasting as a longevity lifestyle.
We discuss a different perspective on fasting for longevity, which led to the creating of a Fasting Mimicking Technology Platform. Our conversation ranges through intermittent fasting, eating within circadian rhythms, plant-based diets, ketogenic eating and whether one can achieves an effective state of autophagy after anything less than a 2 day fast.

Listener alert: Today's podcast is going to be a little different from my usual format of a conversation with a featured guest. First of all, it's not the podcast that I had planned, featuring 3 guest interviews - and there is a story behind this.
Instead it's about mindset - my mindset and where the attributes of consistency, spontaneity and resilience come into play. And I 'm recording it spontaneously so my frustration and irritation may become obvious. So here is how this tale unfolds.
Last week, I had the fun and pleasure of being a featured podcast host on Podapalooza, which is an action packed virtual event to connect Podcast hosts and podcast speakers. Over the day, I enjoyed conversations with 9 podcast guests. I planned to air 3 separate episodes, each featuring segments from 3 speakers, that would highlight some aspect of Growing Older Living Younger.
The first is titled " Release Your Voice , Share Your Wisdom, and features transformation coaches. Allan Carroll, Lynn Himmelman and Robert A. Wilson. In segments from the original interviews, Alan shows me how to find the space between spoken words, Lynn shows how laughter creates confidence and Robert takes me through an induction test for susceptibility to hypnotherapy. This was the episode planned for today.
The second, planned to air the following week is called "Technology, Time and Being Productive, with tips and strategies shared by Avital Spivak, an online technology coach, Yvonne McCoy, women's business consultant and strategist, and Sheri Burke, creator of the Reinvention playbook.
The third episode "Diverse Ways to Keep Happy and Well " features interviews with Mary Scott, a documentary film maker who founded a resource directory for start businesses, Adrianna Steinwedel, who works with type 2 diabetes and Kate Culver, founder of song to Gaia, and transformational coach.
To ensure that I do not miss an episode, I usually have a few pre-scheduled but having been out of town attending two busy conferences, both needing lots of follow up, I planned to schedule the first podapalooza episode today, and be finished in time to go to my Sunday night dance class.
And the devils of technology intervened. I have a Mac, for which I have been meticulously keeping the desktop uncluttered and easy to work with. Unfortunately, believing that it was for the preservation of my computer, I had set my system to automatic updates. because I thought this was the way to keep my computer functioning and safe
No problem until today when lo and behold, an automatic update occurred and anew operating system, Ventura, installed on my iMac. completely scrambled my computer.
Somehow in its wisdom, Apple decided to download all the various folders from my iPhone, my MacBook Air, my old Mac and my
current Mac and I was faced with a desktop where I couldn't find anything that I needed. r.
When I launched my podcast 76 episodes ago, I made a vow to myself of consistency. Every Monday, without fail, an episode would air. And so far I have not missed a single week. I could not let this week be the first. But I have prided myself that I have featured exciting, interesting and educational guests and clearly this was not going to happen. The demon of perfectionism and fear of spontaneity urged me to miss a week, the disciplinarian of consistency fought back, and finally the humility, the nurturer, humility won out.
So dear listeners, I humbly leave you with advance indication of the upcoming podapalooza episodes, and now I need to get to sleep to store up energy for my battle with technology tomorrow.
We all know that nutrition is a key influence on our mental and physical health. Nutrition encompasses what you eat, when and how you eat, how your body absorbs and metabolizes nutrients, and gets rid of excess or waste products.
In recent episodes of this podcast we examined how the foods we eat may promote wellness, or adversely affect our health. We have also explored the importance of when we eat, in particular the health benefits of intermittent fasting or time restricted eating.

“The literature of menopause is the saddest, the most awful, and the most medical of all genres. You're sleepless, you're anxious, you're fat, you're depressed - and the advice is always the same: take more walks, eat some kale, and drink lots of water. It didn't help.” (Sandra Tsing Loh)
For today’s guest, Intermittent Fasting Coach and Author, Laurie Lewis, menopause dealt a crushing blow. She experienced brain fog, lack of balance, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of stubborn hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better but the methods that worked in the past made no difference. After four years of struggle, Laurie stumbled upon Intermittent Fasting and started fasting that very same day. The menopausal fog lifted in less than one week, she had more energy and felt more “like herself.” Now, at 59-years old, Laurie has turned her personal success into a thriving Intermittent Fasting coaching business. As a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, she combines her knowledge of nutrition with the study and practice of intermittent fasting/time restricted eating.
In this episode, we discuss the root causes of most people’s challenges with weight loss and health, and why so many women expect that they will get sicker, heavier and foggier as they age. We talk about how intermittent fasting helps to reduce brain fog, and Laurie’s top 3 tips on how to get started with time restricted eating.
As I describe in my book, nutrition is a foundational pillar of my roadmap to aging youthfully. For me, combining a low carbohydrate, and later a ketogenic, nutrition program with time restricted eating helped me lose 40 lbs of body fat, during my rehabilitation after emergency spinal surgery. But as we strive to age in good health, we each have to learn what works for us.

One of the most important personal choices you can make about your health and about aging well, centres on nutrition. The reality is that we are what we eat. Food and the social aspects of eating together is an important aspect of daily life. And society’s hunger for knowledge about food and health is reflected in the tsunami of contradictory information that floods our newspapers, magazines, computers and televisions every day. It’s hard for even a dedicated researcher like me to make sense of it. Sadly, as for many important issues of the day, discussion about nutrition and health has become a battleground rather than arena where investigation and thoughtful debate occurs so that we can make informed choices. And the key word is choice.
As a medical specialist in human biochemistry with a particular focus on nutrition and micronutrients, I have been perplexed by the drive to force consumers onto a diet based solely on plants, with claims that this would be good for our health and the only solution to save our planet. Where in the battleground of extremes between vegans and carnivores is there a place for those of us who believe that we should have access to fresh, whole foods, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, nuts, seeds, healthy fats, cheese or yogurt, and choose what feels right for us?
Today I talk to Jayne Buxton, journalist, former business analyst, entrepreneur and author of The Great Plant-Based Con: Why eating a Plants-only diet won’t improve your health or save the planet. There is much to unpack in this extensively researched and referenced book, but our conversation focuses on 3 key areas. How a plant-only diet affects human health, the mythology that asserts that a plant-only diet is best for the planet, and what are the powerful forces propelling us towards a plant-only diet, and away from the freedom to choose what we put in our bodies.
In this conversation we could only touch on highlights from the book. Learn more about “The Great Plant-Based Con: Why eating a Plants-only diet won’t improve your health or save the planet” at www.jaynereesbuxton.com

The goal of the Growing Older Living Younger podcast is to show you how small changes in lifestyle and habits can have a big impact on your health and vitality as you age. The way we develop, mature and age, is governed by an ongoing complex interaction of our genome, the DNA blue print we get from our parents, with our environment. This synergy of nature and nurture makes us who we become by switching genes on and off. This is the biological force we call epigenetics. One such factor that has a major effect on our health and our aging, is the duration and the quality of our sleep.
With me today, to talk about the importance of sleep, particularly to many in midlife who are too busy to prioritize sleep over just getting things done, is Larisa Petrini.
Larisa is the founder of BODYOLOGY, a proprietary system designed to help high performing women reverse their age and sizzle with energy and confidence in their midlife years. Hundreds of high achieving women have sought her help to get back in shape, overcome chronic fatigue, solve dry and sagging skin and deal with moods and hormonal imbalances. Larisa studied Health, Nutrition, Sleep and Epigenetics at Cornell University, Precision Nutrition and Apeiron ZOH.
Larisa shares with us the life events that led her to become an age reversal coach. Then focusing on sleep, we discuss the importance of maintaining good sleep habits as we age, what happens to our brains and our bodies when we sleep and how we make sure the sleep we get is high-quality and of adequate duration.

Get your money working harder FOR you so you don't have to work so hard. (Penelope Jane Smith)
A theme that has come up repeatedly in this podcast is the effect that undue stress can have on health and health span. As today’s guest knows only too well, one of the top stressors for many people is money. And rather than thinking about it, too many of us do the ostrich thing, and bury our heads in the sand. Whenever I’ve heard the words bitcoin or cryptocurrency, I have filed them away as something to look into when I find time away from researching what really excites me, the science of epigenetics, health and aging.
So today, in this episode, you and I together will discover how to stop stressing about money and focus on the things that we love in our lives.
Penelope Jane Smith is the the author of the Little Book of Prosperity, and the creator of Prosperity Coin, the world’s first cryptocurrency designed to support financial freedom for women entrepreneurs. Penelope is the premier financial freedom coach for women entrepreneurs. She is an acclaimed international speaker and certified trainer with over 20 years of teaching experience. Through her signature programs, like Financial Freedom 101, she has helped thousands of entrepreneurs from all over the world to create more ease, peace and freedom around money.
Penelope shared her dramatic money story of how as a 21 year old entrepreneur, she almost had “financial freedom” until the real estate market crashed, and she lost everything. Having pulled her self out of the abyss, today she helps other women discover how to become financially free in 5 years or less.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with associated lower urinary tract symptoms occurs increasingly as men age. Estimates suggest that around 50% of men in the 50 to 60 age group feel the effects of BPH, and the prevalence increases with each decade. Herbal supplements made from the berries of the saw palmetto palm tree are widely taken to lessen symptoms. But the effectiveness of these supplements has not been established. The use of plant-derived nutritional supplements to impact wellness and healthy aging does not often come up on the radar of busy physicians. So my attention was caught by the publication of a consensus report by 7 urologists from North America and Europe, about the value of saw palmetto extract in the management of prostate conditions.
My guest today is one of the panelists, Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt. Dr. Brahmbhatt earned his medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine, completed his residency at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis and his fellowship in robotic microsurgery and male infertility at the University of Florida. He is board-certified through the American Board of Urology and is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Brahmbhatt specializes in urology problems affecting both women and men, such as kidney stones, overactive bladder, enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction, and low testosterone. He is a fellowship-trained microsurgeon who has helped advance the use of robotics for men with infertility and chronic testicular pain. Dr. Brahmbhatt also co-founded the nonprofit initiative Drive 4 Men’s Health, to raise awareness of men’s health issues.
We discuss why and how the consensus report was developed and factors that may contribute to development of BPH. Despite over 50 studies looking at the benefits of saw palmetto, research has been complicated by the variety of supplements used. We also discuss the importance of using only a high quality supplement containing an effective amount of Serenoa repens berry extract fatty acids from a reputable source.

Today we talk about intermittent fasting, a powerful way to reduce cravings, control weight and live youthfully. During my rehabilitation from sciatica and spinal surgery, I was struggling to lose the excess fat I had gained from months of inactivity. Despite a low carbohydrate diet and daily exercise, my weight was dropping very slowly. I decided to go fully ketogenic, low carb and healthy fats, eating what felt right for me. And an interesting thing happened.
Suddenly, when I got up in the morning, had my coffee, water and supplements, I had lots of energy, my mood was great, and I just wasn’t hungry. I would have a second cup of coffee around 11 or 12, and when my body told me it was time to eat, anywhere from 16 to 20 hours after I had finished dinner the night before, I would have a light lunch.
I didn’t name it as such, at the time, but inadvertently I was practicing intermittent fasting, sometimes called time restricted eating. With this combination of intermittent fasting, ketogenic nutrition, and an exercise program of dance, walking and resistance training, my body composition changed dramatically. The excess fat dropped off but I did not lose muscle mass. Today, I still follow this nutrition and exercise lifestyle, and feel better than I did when I was ten years younger. For some people the word fasting conjures up negative emotions of deprivation. A comment I hear often, is “I couldn’t possibly fast" but in reality we all fast without consciously thinking about it for 6 to 8 hours when we sleep.
My guest today is an intermittent fasting expert, wellness coach and human movement specialist. Brian Gryn is host of the Get Lean Eat Clean Podcast and author of The Simple Intermittent Fasting Journal. He is also the creator of The Intermittent Fasting Certification Course. With over 15 years of experience in health and wellness, Brian developed his Fat Burner Blueprint Program. This program focuses on nutrition, meal timing, stress management, sleep and micro-workouts. Brian believes that challenging the body and mind through brief hormetic stressors like fasting, cold/warm therapy, resistance training and sprinting will help you get your body back to what it once was!
We discuss choosing the best way to start intermittent fasting, whether to work out in a fasted state state, and tips to overcome hunger? For someone starting out it is important to consult your doctor, to have baseline biomarkers measured and where needed, ongoing monitoring. We also discussed hormetic stressors, hot/cold exposure, short bursts of high intensity exercise as boosts to the immune system

Anything that could give rise to smarter-than-human intelligence - in the form of Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or neuroscience-based human intelligence enhancement - wins hands down beyond contest as doing the most to change the world. Nothing else is even in the same league. (Eliezer Yudkowsky)
In this episode, we contemplate howArtificial Intelligence (AI) can help you stay healthier.I am joined by Harry Glorikian, author of The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live Longer.
I was thinking about the roadmap to health aging that I evolved during my recovery from spinal stenosis-induced sciatica and spinal surgery. In each of the foundational pillars of my roadmap, I had to make lifestyle changes and establish new habits. For example, when I implemented time restricted eating, I had to establish the habit of never snacking after dinner. When I decided to adopt a ketogenic nutrition plan, I had to establish the habit of limiting my intake of carbohydrates. To help me be consistent in establishing these habits, I loaded two apps onto my smart phone. One is a simple fasting app that tells me when my fasting time is done. The simple fact that I start the timer as soon as I have finished dinner, keeps me from eating before I go to bed and I use this app every day.
On the other hand I also have a food tracker app, that I can use to check the amount of macronutrients, protein, fats and carbohydrates, that I eat on a given day. This is a more complex app and requires more data input from me. I only use this from time to time. All in all, there are 7 apps on my phone, that I use regularly, to help me maintain habits of nutrition, exercise, sleep, stretching and meditation - just for a start. I also have uploaded many other apps to explore- when I have more time. Clearly for me, to paraphrase Harry, the Doctor is In My Device.

It is well recognized that an important determinant of wellbeing and healthy aging is socialization, being connected to family, friends and community. Most of us want to be loved and nurtured. Sometimes we are lucky, we find our soulmate, our other half or Plato's split apart. Others keep searching for that perfect person.
I was recently reflecting that I had not had a guest on to talk about finding love and good relationships as we age. So I invited my friend, Relationship Coach, Amy, to talk about finding love after 50. After that conversation, I was curious to hear a male perspective on love and relationships and how that might differ. After all, we frequently hear that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
So today I'm delighted to introduce Roy Biancalana, certified relationship coach, TV analyst, author, and host of the Attracting Lasting Love podcast. Roy is an internationally recognized expert in the field of attraction and conscious relationships. Along with being a TV analyst, Roy is the author of three best selling books, the latest of which is Relationship Bootcamp: Hardcore Training for Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Intimacy. For the past 15 years, Roy has been supporting single people in the art of attracting healthy, sustainable, intimate relationships. His experience has taught him that getting into relationship shape, being truly relationship-ready, is the key to attracting lasting love.
Roy identified seven key areas of our lives that need to be worked on, if we're going to be able to create a healthy, conscious and mindful relationship with another person. One of the most important is our relationship to our past.
We discuss the free gift that Roy offers on his website. It's the Relationship Fitness Self assessment test. It's a confidential 30 question true false quiz, that takes you three to five minutes to take. You get an email with your results. No one else sees the results. Of course, I couldn't resist completing the assessment.

"Brains at any age are capable of rewiring and changing. No one should be aging, thinking that it's all downhill from here' (Dr. Henry Mahncke).
This comment on brain plasticity, made by research neuroscientist, Dr. Henry Mahncke, in Episode 10: Rewiring Your Brain, echoes in my head, whenever I reflect on the goal of Growing Older Living Younger, namely to extend our health span by preserving a healthy mind in a healthy body.
My brain is a year older since that episode but I’m sure that by following my personal roadmap for aging well, my cognitive functions have not aged in parallel with my chronological age.
Preserving brain health, cognitive functions and warding off dementia, is a desire that is frequently expressed when I talk to men and women during the complimentary Growing Older Living Younger Discovery call I offer. (the link to book your call is shown below).
Many people are living into their 80s or 90s and have relatives or friends diagnosed with dementia. They may be aware that the prevalence of dementia is increasing dramatically. Prevalence refers to the proportion of people within a population at a given time who have a specific characteristic. Since dementia occurs more in elderly people, the more elderly people there are, the greater the number of people there will be who have dementia.
But as individuals we are more concerned about individual risk. I was intrigued to read that a recent study showed that the incidence of dementia in people of European ancestry living in Europe and the USA (that is the number of new cases in a population) has actually declined an average of 13% every decade over the last 30 years. Reflecting on what could be causing this decrease in the incidence of dementia, I suspect that it reflects an increasing understanding of the effects of lifestyle management, nutrition, targeted wellness products, exercise, socialization, sleep, and. keeping mentally active.
In that vein, I invited Dr. Mahncke back to Growing Older Living Younger to describe a new community based Brain Health Program that is being developed in conjunction with the YMCA of San Francisco and also to share updates on some of the studies we discussed in the earlier episode.
Dr. Mahncke is the CEO of Posit Science, the leading provider of plasticity-based brain training and assessments. BrainHQ is an online and app program of plasticity-based brain training exercises to improve cognitive measures like attention, memory, processing speed and executive functions. that impact real world activities like driving, balance, gait, mood, confidence and everyday cognitive functions.

In Growing Older Living Younger, we discuss how small changes in lifestyle and habits can have a big impact on your health and vitality as you age. Using healthy aging strategies, tools and products, you can favourably alter your aging at the cellular level by changing gene expression, and differentiating your biological age from your chronological age.
The impact of the explosion of genomic research on our understanding of biomarkers and our ability to alter biological aging, has been huge. One development has been the creation of measures of biological age that can tell you if you are physiologically younger or older than your chronological age. Precision Medicine or Precision Health is an approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person
As a practicing endocrinologist in Manhattan, today’s guest, Dr. Florence Comite, embraces Precision Medicine for both prevention and treatment. She graduated from The Yale School of Medicine, founded Women's Health at Yale, and was on the faculty at Yale Medical School for 25 years. An endocrinologist with multidisciplinary training in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Gynecology, and Andrology, she has conducted seminal clinical research at Yale and the NIH Institute of Child Health and Human Reproduction, in Reproductive Endocrinology and Metabolism, Adult and Pediatric Endocrinology, Gynecology and Andrology. She is the founder and CEO of Groq Health, bringing Precision Medicine to the mobile phone.
Our conversation about preventative medicine, genes and environment took several interesting turns, into discussion of how external or environmental factors can change the aging of identical twins, how low fat, carb rich diets can cause severe reactive hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and 5 key predictive biomarkers we should check.

The critical key to surmounting obstacles, conquering challenges, and reaching your goals lies in your mind. You have to believe with your whole being that you can do it. Often what holds you back is fear.
Today I talk with Michael Hingson, author of Thunderdog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero, about diversity, inclusion and conquering the mindset of fear.
Michael has an incredible story to tell. When he was 6 months old, his parents were told that he was permanently and totally blind. He was one of more than 10,000 premature babies in the US who developed retinopathy due to excess exposure to oxygen, irreversibly scarring and destroying the retina, so no visual information was transmitted from the eye to the brain.
But Michael’s sighted parents believed in raising their son with a can-do attitude. Treated like all other children in his family, Michael rode a bike, did advanced math in his head and learned to read and write in Braille. Michael’s family relocated to Palmdale, California when he was five years old. It is here that Michael had his first adventure with Guide Dogs for the Blind and received his first guide dog. He later earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Physics along with a secondary teaching credential from the University of California at Irvine.
On September 11, 2001, Michael and his guide dog, Roselle, escaped from the 78th floor of Tower One in the World Trade Center moments before it collapsed, only to be enveloped in a thick cloud of pulverized concrete dust. Soon after, Michael and Roselle were thrust into the international limelight where Michael began to share his unique survival story and 9-11 lessons of trust, courage, heroism, and teamwork. The story of their escape from Tower 1 was engrossing. But most important was how his parents raised him to acquire the survival skills and mindset that enabled him to survive the 78 story stairway descent of World Trade Center Tower 1 on Sept 11, 2001 and then to shake off the dust and move forward.
Mike enjoys a successful 41-year sales career, first in high-tech and now inspiring adventures and joyful living for audiences around the world. He is a long time Social advocate for change concerning disabilities through his involvement with the National Federation of the Blind.

Albert Einstein famously said “life is like a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.”
Keeping physically active and moving is a key factor for overall wellness, and for healthy aging. Many studies have shown a strong association between a sedentary lifestyle and decreased longevity. Conversely, movement activities such as dance, specially partner dancing, have been associated with delaying cognitive decline. Today I am talking with Erica Hornthal, the Therapist Who Moves You”, about dance therapy and why it works.
Erica is a licensed clinical professional counsellor, a board-certified dance/movement therapist, and the CEO and founder of Chicago Dance Therapy. Since graduating with her MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counselling from Columbia College Chicago, Erica has worked with patients aged 3-107, and she is changing the way people see movement with regard to mental health.
How we move our bodies—how we walk, roll, dance, stretch, connect, and occupy space, is about more than physical fitness. Our movement impacts our mental and emotional health. When we change the way we move, we can change the way we live.

In today’s conversation I talk with Francis Edmonds, Inspirational Speaker and author of “Repotting Your Life: Sense When You’re Stuck. Explore What’s Possible. Claim Room to Grow.”
When I first read this book, my thoughts jumped to the colourful collection of red, purple and blue African Violets on my sun-drenched mantelpiece. I recalled how I transferred the tiny plants that grew from leaf cuttings, first to small individual containers, then to larger pots and ultimately, I repotted them in the large pots that will remain their permanent home.
Frances conceived the idea of repotting, the ideal metaphor for self reinvention in deep middle age, when she uprooted herself, swapping the comfort and security of her London life for a year in California. As a fellow at Stanford's Distinguished Careers Institute, she researched longevity and related issues at the Center on Longevity.
She suggests that when you find yourself stuck in life, whatever the cause, remember that what ails a root bound plant is not the plant, it's the pot. We discuss how to bring that same wisdom to any life changing decision, large or small, career or relationships, to reframe your thinking, reset your purpose and rejuvenate yourself.
Following her degree in Modern Languages from Cambridge, Frances became an independent freelance interpreter, traveling all over the world, providing simultaneous interpreting for major institutions, organizations and summits. Great for the brain, she points out that it's a really tough skill because not only do you have to be great at languages, you also have to be able to listen through your headphones to a person speaking in one language, and simultaneously interpret in a second language. We discuss how, when she became “stuck”, she pivoted and “repotted her life.”

Join the Growing Older Living Younger Community to exchange experiences, and engage with others on a similar journey to age well.
Today our conversation centres around the benefits of dance for enhancing healthy aging for both mind and body. I was reflecting on the many ways in which dance has positively impacted my life, and I thought that John Travolta says it best. “ Dancing's part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.”
For me, dance is the best fitness activity.It is relatively low impact, the variety of styles and music constantly challenges my brain to adapt, and I leave each class, high on endorphins, after a dance workout that was both intense and fun. You can start it at any age - I began when I retired. Here to tell how dance has positively impacted his life, and how it can benefit you, is my dance teacher and friend, Dale Neale.
Dale has over 30 years of experience in dancing and enjoys teaching all levels of dance from beginner to advanced, social or competitive dancing. His goal is to bring joy into the lives of people through the gift of dance and movement. His dance philosophy involves improving the quality of your life through the joy of dance and improving yourself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually to be the best you can be as you are never too young or too old to start dancing!
Dale began as a ballet dancer at the age of 16, and transitioned into ballroom and Latin dancing at the age of 25. He is the founder of Dale Neale Dance and is a Head Master Instructor, Teacher, Choreographer and Coach. Dale comes from an extensive competitive dance background and has competed in International Latin, Standard and American Smooth and has won several titles including the U.S. Open Smooth Championship, numerous Rising Star Championships and he is a 4-time winner of the Canadian Smooth Championships. Dale has danced in movies, commercials, music videos, and has performed at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He also spent time traveling extensively through Europe performing and teaching Salsa with American Latin All Stars.

I was contemplating my upcoming conversation with Life and Relationship coach, Amy Schoen, when I came across this quote from Margaret Mead, who said: “One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.” That gave me pause for thought.
Five years ago, single person households in Canada comprised 28% of all households. That’s a lot of people living alone, with no-one there to wonder where they are when they don't come home at night. While many single people may not feel the need for an intimate relationship, for others, the social isolation of the past two years, has led them to want to have someone to share their life. Finding that special person can be hard at any age. But for those in their 50, 60s or 70s, it may be specially daunting.
Enter today’s guest, Amy Schoen, a Certified Professional Life Coach and Creator of the Motivated to Marry Dating Secrets coaching program. Amy's passion is to clarify her clients' critical relationship values so they can easily recognize and connect with their true lifelong love partner.
Amy is the author of “Get It Right This Time – How to Find and Keep Your Ideal Romantic Partner” and “30 Very Good Reasons NOT to Get Married Until You Are 30!” She also hosted the “Motivated to Marry” podcast.

Some of the most frequently used, possibly overused, words that I have heard over the past few years are “I’m so stressed.” Psychologist, Wayne Dyer, said that the truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it's your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can't package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.
Yet as a physician, I learned that there is such a thing as stress and it comes in many different forms, physical, mental and metabolic. My guest today, physician and author, Dr. Mort Orman, points out that stress can also accelerate the aging process, causing physical and mental problems. As America's leading stress elimination expert, Dr. Orman, will explain how you can eliminate stress, without managing it, so that you can live, love and work stress free.
Dr. Mort Orman is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician. He is a graduate of Duke University (1969) and The University of Maryland Medical School (1973). He practiced Internal Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland for 23 years and then spent 15 years as a leading corporate health and wellness medical director for a large BlueCross/BlueShield health insurance plan. He is an award-winning health and wellness author, who has spent the past 40 years warning about the dangers of stress management.
Through his speaking, workshops, coaching programs, and authoring more than 20 books on eliminating stress, Dr. Orman helps people become happier, healthier, and more successful by acquiring new and deeper understandings about human stress. He has helped people get rid of anger issues, fear of public speaking, reduce their stress at work, strengthen their marriages and family relationships, and achieve true work/life balance.

Frank McCourt, author of the memoir, Angela’s Ashes wrote, ”everyone has a story to tell - all you have to do is write it. But it’s not that easy.”
In today’s conversation, we talk about the power of telling your story and becoming part of global communities of like minded people. For most of us writing is not easy but it is worth the effort. Thinking back to when I was writing my book, Growing Older Living Younger, I learned a lot about myself from the introspection needed to write with honesty and humility. Each of us has a multitude of stories that make us unique. My guest, Cathy Derksen, helps people share their own inspiring stories by guiding them from chapter concept to publication.
Cathy’s company, Inspired Tenacity, is dedicated to improving the lives of women in her community and around the world. After working in Medical Genetics for 25 years, she transitioned to financial planning and has since become certified in counselling, success principles and strategies for overcoming limiting believes and mindset. Cathy is an international speaker and Amazon #1 best selling author with stories that inspire the readers to take a leap of faith into reaching for their big goals.

In today’s episode we discuss how the study of animal genes may shed light on human disorders of aging such as stroke, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease. We know that our circadian wake and sleep rhythms are controlled by a biological master clock deep in the hypothalamus of the brain. And that the change in melatonin levels, dropping with daylight and rising at night, mediates the master clock, and other on-off switches of biological clocks throughout the body. So waxing and waning of light creates our daily wake/sleep cycles. But animals that hibernate, such as bears, bats and groundhog, spend months in a cold dark cave or burrow. So what triggers a hibernating animal like the groundhog to wake up and emerge from its burrow? Contemplating the differences between the daily external triggers of the human master clocks and the signals for the hibernating animal master clocks, there are lessons to learn from comparing clock genes in humans and hibernating mammals. Understanding how animal genomics can shed light on human disease underpins the research of today’s guest, Dr. Katharine Grabek, co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of FaunaBio.
Katharine earned her PhD in Human Medical Genetics at the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus. She next trained as a postdoctoral scholar in computational biology in Dr. Carlos Bustamante’s lab at Stanford. Her research has focused on utilizing proteomic, transcriptomic and genomic approaches to identify the molecular components underlying the highly dynamic phenotype of hibernation. With her two colleagues, Katharine founded FaunaBio, where they study whether solutions to our worst diseases could be hidden in the animal kingdom?

As I was thinking about my upcoming conversation with David Loud, author of "Facing the Music", a quote from piano man, Billy Joel, struck a chord with me. Joel said “I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
It seemed to me that the healing power of David Loud’s lifelong passion for music helped him to triumph over the ravages of Parkinson’s disease that could have destroyed his career as a Broadway music director, arranger and actor.
I seldom have time to read memoirs or biographies. Reading is one of the two main ways I have to temporarily disconnect from the chaos around me, and I preferentially read fiction with powerfully drawn characters, and fast moving storylines. But I was captivated by David Loud’s memoir which I read straight through, on a rainy Vancouver weekend. As a long-time devotee of the performing arts and an on-line theatre reviewer, I loved the chance to vicariously experience the backstage activity that audience members rarely see. And as I reflected ironically, my book, Growing Older Living Younger, the account of my recovery from spinal stenosis and back surgery, is as much memoir as it is science.
David Loud (NYC) occupies a unique place in Broadway history. In addition to his distinguished career as one of Broadway’s most respected music directors and arrangers, he originated three Broadway roles as an actor, including his appearance in the original cast of Stephen Sondheim’s legendary failure (and cult classic) Merrily We Roll Along, directed by Harold Prince. In a career spanning several decades, he served as music director for the original Broadway productions of Ragtime, Curtains, Sondheim on Sondheim, The Visit, The Scottsboro Boys, A Class Act, The Look of Love, and Steel Pier, as well as revivals of She Loves Me, Company, and Sweeney Todd. He also appeared alongside Zoe Caldwell and Audra McDonald in Terrence McNally’s Tony-winning play, Master Class.

As I was preparing to record this episode, fixing my hair and checking my appearance, I was pondering the importance of hair to the image we present to the world. Two things came to mind. Hair is a constantly renewable resource and that means we can experiment to create the look we desire, knowing that if something doesn’t work, we can try again. Often, the first impression of someone’s age is influenced as much by the quality of their hair as by the state of their skin and that’s probably why hair loss and thinning is among the frequent concerns people express when asked about aging. Because hair is such an important aspect of the image we present to the world, hair loss can have a devastating effect on one's self confidence. As actor, Larry David said, "Anyone can be confident with a full head of hair. But a confident bald man - there's your diamond in the rough."
My guest today, a specialist in the prevention and treatment of hair loss, is here to share his insights on what causes hair loss, how can we prevent hair loss and can we treat it.
Dr. Ben Behnam is a Board Certified Dermatologist and founder of Happy Head. In his clinic, he focuses on hair loss in both men and women. Through the course of years, he realized that many men were having side effects to the most common hair loss medication known as finasteride. In 2020, he launched an online telemedicine company called Happy Head that allows easy access for patients across the country to a new formulation of topical finasteride, which has potentially lower side effects that the oral version. Through this platform, he has helped men and women retain and grow their hair.

Today I talk with Chris Westfall, about how to make life easier in these troubling times. One of my all-time most admired and respected actors, Robert Redford, commented “ I’m interested in that thing that happens where there's a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there's no sign that it's going to get any better, and that's the point when people quit. But some don’t.” That got me thinking about about hardship in today's world, and about how many of us are stretched to near breaking point. Out of curiosity, I searched the phrase "life is hard" and google returned 10 million results. Then I searched "how to relieve stress" and google found 1.7 trillion results.
So clearly, like me, many of you over the past two years, have been struggling through hardships of different degrees, sometimes angry, sometimes anxious, often overwhelmed, always waiting for life to return to normal, to become easier. Who quits? Who does not?
Today’s guest, is Business Coach, Keynote speaker and author, Chris Westfall, whose latest book is called Easier: 60 Ways to Make Your Work Life Work for You. His book is written in the style of narrative dialogue between The Client and The Coach, with the objective being for fresh ideas to emerge through this dialogue and ultimately help the Client define a better life. I was drawn to the definition of Easier, described early in the book`. “Easier is where life’s better, where we find freedom. Clarity. Confidence. It’s where we don’t struggle and suffer and wish and try to manage the whole world". (Chris Westfall)
Chris is one of the most sought-after business coaches and keynote speakers in the world. He has helped launch over five dozen businesses, and has appeared on ABC NEWS, NBC TV and CNN. A regular contributor to Forbes, he has worked with thousands of leaders at Fortune 500 companies, non-profit organizations and high-tech startups. A coach to entrepreneurs and executives around the globe, his clients have appeared on Shark Tank, Dragon’s Den and Shark Tank-Australia. He regularly consults with top-tier universities and is the author of three other books, including Leadership Language, Bullet Proof branding and the NEW Elevator Pitch.
We discuss his belief that when it looks like life, career, communication and everything else is breaking down, it’s time to break free and access a kind of personal freedom that allows you to make different choices, see things in a different way and enter into an understanding of what would make your situation easier.
Chris is offering his gift of a free on line course where you can explore some of the themes and challenges described inside the book to help you to show up at your best and create the world you want.

Audrey Hepburn, a Screen Legend and a truly iconic beauty, said “The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.”
I was reflecting on previous discussions I have had on ageism as I read yet another comment on beauty and aging youthfully. The debate centered around the question of whether we should accept and indeed celebrate the aging of our appearance as a reflection of the wisdom gained as we grow older, or whether, as I believe, we should do all we can to delay the wrinkling, dryness and loss of radiance that naturally accompanies aging, and endeavor to look vibrant and healthy as we age. Our appearance, the quality of our skin, hair, teeth, eyes, is as much a window to our overall as is our posture, gait and mental acuity. Choosing to ward off dull, wrinkled skin and thinning, lack-luster hair is not a question of vanity but a celebration of our inner vitality. Today's conversation brings to you an expert in the biology of skin and hair, to discuss how our outward changes of aging may reflect our inner state of health. Dr. Helen Knaggs, is the Vice President of Global Research and Development for Nu Skin. With over 30 years of experience in skin research and product development, including years spent specializing in acne research, her expertise in skin and hair biology has led to numerous publications and patents. Dr. Knaggs earned bachelor’s degrees with honors in biochemistry and pharmacology, and a doctorate degree from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Leeds, England. She spent several years as a research biochemist in the dermatology department of Leeds General Infirmary where her work involved clinical and lab research, interpretation of trial results and data reporting to corporate and scientific communities. As vice president of Nu Skin Global Research and Development, she works closely with the Nu Skin Scientific Advisory Board to identify the latest research and trends in skin care for the Nu Skin brand. We discuss how lifestyle as much as inheritance affects the aging of your skin, and what you can do to preserve both the health and the beauty of your appearance from inside out and outside in.

In several earlier conversations on this show, guests have pointed out that these days many people are living into their nineties and that in many locales, centenarians are the fastest growing segment of the population. Yet as longevity increases, many people will very likely not have accumulated enough wealth to sustain the comfortable lifestyle they were accustomed to.
Here to share his perspective on longevity and money is, David Rosell, founder and president of Rosell Wealth Management, and author of Failure Is NOT an Option- Creating Certainty in the Uncertainty of Retirement.I was reflecting that what really constitutes wealth and a comfortable lifestyle is not just a question for our current times. Greek philosophers pondered this same question 2000 years ago. Around 300 BC Plato said “The greatest wealth is to live content with little” while 400 years later, Stoic philosopher, Epictetus, echoed this thought “Wealth consists not In having great possessions but in having few wants.”
So the questions for those looking ahead from mid-life retirement to several decades of life, become what are our essential wants, and what will we need to live content in a world that is vastly different not only from 2000 years ago but from a mere 100 years ago?
To answer these questions, for over 20 years David Rosell has specialized in working with affluent individuals and families who are at or near retirement to help them live the life they have always imagined. David’s inspiration and zest for life have been shaped by a lifetime of international adventures. With a current tally of more than 75 countries on six different continents, his quest for extreme travel has included hitchhiking from Nairobi to Cape Town, Africa and climbing the infamous peaks of the Nepalese Himalayas. He was even partook in tearing down the Berlin Wall.
As a recipient of the Retirement Distribution Certificate from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, David excels in making complicated financial planning topics easy to understand. An accomplished speaker, he has addressed international audiences numbering in the thousands, including the Million Dollar Roundtable® and Vistage Worldwide.
David is also the author of a second book that melds his passions of adventure and finance: Keep Climbing - A Millennial’s Guide to Financial Planning.
As a grandmother, I loved reading that David dedicated Failure is Not an Option, to his grandmother, Ruth, whose financial and life lessons shaped him into the successful man he is today. His adventure travel stories lead to insights about wants, wealth and contentment.

“Walk into any pharmacy and ask to examine a bottle of prescription medicine chosen at random. There is a one in four chance that the prescription medication you hold in your hand has an active ingredient derived from a plant. Most of these plant-derived drugs were originally discovered through the study of traditional remedies and folk knowledge of indigenous people.” (M. Balick, P. Cox.)
As I read this opening paragraph in the chapter on PlantsThat Heal, from the book, Plants, People and Culture: The Science of Ethnobotany by Drs. Michael Balick and Paul Cox, I thought, what better way to celebrate the 50th episode of Growing Older Living Younger, than a conversation with ethnobotanist, Dr. Paul Alan Cox, Executive Director of the Brain Chemistry Labs, whose passion for learning about indigenous cultures and searching for new medicines, has taken him around the world.
Dr. Cox has worked in remote island villages and other locations including Polynesia, Indonesia, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, Australia, Japan, Sri Lanka, East Africa, Scandinavia, the Arabian Gulf and the Colorado Plateau. He was both a Danforth Fellow and a National Science Foundation Fellow at Harvard where he received his Ph.D. He was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize, sometimes known as the Nobel Prize of the Environment and was named one of TIME magazine’s eleven “Heroes of Medicine” for his discovery of a new HIV drug candidate. His conservation foundation, Seacology, has set aside over 1.5 million acres of rain forest and coral reef in 66 countries around the world.
We discuss how plant derived bioactive substances can both heal and harm, and how learning about age-old healing traditions can guide discovery of new therapeutic drugs. A comparison of villages with the highest and the lowest known rates of Alzheimer's disease and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) led to the discovery in Guam of a neurotoxin produced by cyanobacteria that accumulates in the foods in their traditional diet. Ogimi in Okinawa has no record of Alzheimer’s, ALS, or Parkinson's disease, and has more women, over the age of 100, than almost anywhere in the world. At the Brain Chemistry Labs in Jackson, Wyoming, a not-for-profit research institute, studies are focused on finding new treatments for ALS, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's disease.

“You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old” (George Burns)
“I Won’t retire till they bury me.“ (Gary Rogers)
Today’s guest, Gary Rogers, exemplifies one who is “older but not old”. I met Gary at an online networking event about a year ago. I was so struck by his energy and vitality, that I took him up on his offer of a free master class on presentation skills. It was only much later that I learned Gary’s chronological age, and realized that he is the epitome of one who is Growing Older, but Living Younger.
Gary Rogers is the founder and CEO of CompanyFlix, an international Communications company. He has been a professional speaker and an executive in the television production/motion picture industry for over 5 decades. He has produced TV commercials, Infomercials and Corporate Videos for many of the world’s largest Corporations, Including; AT&T, Motorola, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Proctor & Gamble, Toshiba, Toyota, Honeywell, Blue Cross, Siemens and Coca-Cola. A former Training Manager with 3M Company, Gary started teaching Public Speaking and Presentation Skills 50 years ago. In his production career he has had the opportunity to direct many Hollywood stars, including Academy Award-winning actor, Charlton Heston. Using revolutionary new video technology, Gary continues to provide exceptional Public Speaking and Presentation Skills training and his teaching and training is second to none.
Our conversation ranges from how Gary’s transition from a top salesman to training others how to sell, ultimately led to his career as a speaker/producer/director, and now to his current passion for helping others succeed at presentation skills and sales. Although many of his current students are seniors, Gary does not see that they have any more challenges with developing their speaking skills than other age cohorts. Working with students of all ages, keeps Gary living young!
Gary is happy to offer you a gift of his free Masterclass.

"I see retirement as just another of these reinventions, another chance to do new things and be a new version of myself." (Walt Mossberg)
When I was contemplating early retirement from my hospital and university work, like Walt Mossberg, I believe that retirement was a chance to do new things and learn skills I had long wanted to pursue but that I had not had the time and freedom to do while I worked. Today, when living into one’s eighties or nineties is increasingly common, it becomes even more important not to squander those years and to enjoy retirement to the full. That’s why I called chapter 7 in my book “Choose A Challenge”.
Today’s guest is retirement coach, Maria Lucassen, who is passionate about helping women create a happy, blissful retirement. She believes that though retirement is supposed to be our golden years, often people feel all alone, questioning their life direction, but sometimes caring for elderly parents, or kids who’ve moved back home.
Maria is the CEO of Maria Lucassen Coaching, As a Certified Retirement Coach and member of the Retirement Coaches Association, she has a passion to help career women shift their perspective on creating and living a blissful retirement after leaving their 9 to 5 job. Maria organizes workshops for women who are ready to plan their retirement and helps them individually or in groups to prepare for a next phase in life that is fun, purposeful and affordable. She hosts a Radio Show that inspires women to dream about the next chapter in the book of life. She is a Certified Retirement Coach and member of the Retirement Coaches Association. She has authored chapters in two books. ‘What Have You Forbes’d lately’. Is a compilation book in which the authors describe successes in major life events. In January 2021 she was one of 100 authors that published a chapter in the Book: 1 Habit to thrive in a Post Covid world.
In this conversation you will hear how a self-described 40 year corporate career junkie became a Retirement Coach, and the perspectives she has gained about retirement, from her own introspection as well as working with her clients. We discuss the importance of health to a blissful retirement.

As I was reflecting on my upcoming conversation on public speaking with today’s guest, I came across this quote from Jane Fonda. She said “People think actresses find public speaking easy, and it’s not easy at all: we’re used to hiding behind masks”
Hiding behind a mask, is not unique to actors or other professional communicators. Many of us, in day to day conversation, hesitate to share our true thoughts and feelings. This behaviour has been severely exacerbated in the context of the divisiveness arising from the global medical, sociopolitical and economic management of the covid 19 pandemic.
A recurring theme in many recent episodes of Growing Older Living Younger, has been the need to celebrate the wisdom and life experience that elders gain as they age. Many retirees, with potentially several decades of active life ahead of them, may choose to share their experiences by becoming a coach, writing a book, launching a podcast, and often all three. It is often said, that public speaking is one of the things that many people fear the most but today, even simple conversations have often become a source of anxiety as one dances cautiously around a subject.
My guest today is a wonderful example of someone who has not held back from sharing her wisdom to help others overcome their fears of speaking. Marjorie Saulson is a vibrant personality, an engaging speaker, a generous coach and a truly inspirational role model at the age of 81.
Named both Top Speaking Coach of the Year and Top Motivational Speaker of the Decade, Communication Confidence Coach Marjorie Saulson “intends to be the most fabulous 100-year-old babe you ever met!”
Author of the #1 international bestselling book, Empowering Business Owners to Overcome Speaking Fears Whether You're Talking with 1 Person or 1,000, she is also a contributing author to the books, America’s Leading Ladies - Stories of Courage, Challenge, and of Triumph and Heroes, Leaders, Legends - Spreading the Light of Hope and Inspiration. She supports entrepreneurs, coaches, and speakers to create clear, compelling messages and develop engaging presentation skills, so that they can confidently communicate in any situation--whether on stage, online, on the phone, or networking-- and achieve their business goals.Tell me about what inspired you to want to help people overcome the fear of public speaking.
We discuss what it is about speaking in public makes people so afraid and what strategies can you use to prevent or reduce nervousness. How does this differ in a social situation? For example walking into an event where you don’t know anyone such as a networking situations? We also discussed tips for people to improve their vocal quality.

"The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned." (Maya Angelou)
“It’s like putting a puzzle together, arranging the pieces to make a perfect picture.” (Emma Auriemma-McKay)
Several years ago, as retirement from my 25 year medical career was approaching, I was about to be living alone in the large suburban home where my family of 6 had lived for over 2 decades. I needed to downsize to a new home for my post retirement years. In the psychological and financial turmoil that came from this need to move, the possibility, that in the future I might need to safely age in place, was not on my radar. As it turned out, post-retirement turned out not to be retirement but two pivots into a second and third career. Each of these pivots required adjustments to my physical environment because I had not made a long term plan for making my home work effectively for me.
I invited today’s guest, Emma Auriemma McKay, to help us explore the concept, and the reality, of home as a safe place from the two different perspectives illustrated by my story. First is the consideration of your home as a place where you will be able to live safely and comfortably as you age. The second is looking at how to evaluate your home as a place where you can live, play and work in a way that will accommodate and mitigate the demands on your mind and body that may come with aging.
As a licensed Architect, interior designer and LEED certified professional, Emma began her 35 year career working with international architectural and interior design firms in New York, Los Angeles and Europe. She had experience on projects ranging from residential, commercial, to 5 Star luxury hotels. Working on the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, the Four Seasons and Mandalay Bay in Ls Vegas, and the Pan Pacific Convention Center in Vancouver gave her exciting opportunities to design restaurants, extravagant lobbies, executive offices and hotel rooms. Emma’s architectural practice now focuses on residential projects. She realized how important it is for homeowners to have a guide when they do their home remodel, and created a digital resource, The Ultimate Home Remodeling Blueprint, which guides homeowners through the process of remodeling to get what they want and avoid costly mistakes. She is the author of the “Homeowner’s Guide to Stress-Free Remodeling and hosts two podcasts, Stress-Free Remodeling and Real Estate Professionals.
In this conversation we discuss the importance of the home environment in keeping us healthy. We look at the physical and structural elements of a home, the non-visible elements such as hidden toxins, and the social and aesthetic aspects that may profoundly affect mood and emotions.

“Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods, and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts” (James Beard)
“She said to me you may have a gluten allergy. And I was like, “well, I'm a chef. I really can't. It’s just not convenient. I just can’t”. And she said “you know, Jen, your choice of careers doesn't mean that you can consume everything”. (Chef Jen Peters)
As you will hear, that’s how a delicious, nutritious line of gluten-free flours came about. If gluten is a concern for you, Chef Jen is pleased to offer a 20$ discount of your first order from The Good Flour Company. You will find the links and the coupon code below.
I learned that I, too, can't consume everything, as I describe in my book chapter, 'You are What You Eat.' When I needed to lose the 40 lbs of excess fat I gained over 4 months of my sciatica-induced couch-potato state, increase muscle and lean-body mass and stimulate my metabolism, I began a program of intermittent fasting, and a low carbohydrate diet.
Almost immediately I found that I was no longer always hungry and thinking constantly about food. My energy level increased and my happy, optimistic mood came back. I had no problem cutting out pasta, rice, and starchy vegetables like potatoes. The only comfort food I missed, was my favourite artisan breads and toast smothered in butter.
I am no chef so I simply adapted and found new comfort foods. But Imagine the life-changing impact on a professional chef and baker, of discovering that gluten had to be eliminated from your food and all your recipes. That’s what happened to today’s guest, Chef Jen Peters.
Jen Peters’ pivotal discovery about how gluten was affecting her health, set her on a mission to be able to craft a range of gluten-free flours, so that she, and others with gluten-induced disorders, could once again enjoy the breads and baked goods that she loved.
Chef Jen trained in classical French kitchens in restaurants in Vancouver, and London. Being a passionate creative chef who loves pastry and baking, she studied pastry at the Culinary Institute of America, in Hyde Park, New York. Jen set out to teach herself to bake gluten free. Today she is proud to mill and blend easy to use gluten-free flours that taste delicious, have great texture and are nutrition-rich. You can find The Good Flour Company products in stores or order on-line.
For you, Chef Jen is offering a special 20% discount on your first order of gluten-free flours which you can access by entering the coupon code GROWINGOLDER20 at https://goodflour.co/collections/all for Canadian customers, or at https://goodflour.co/collections/all for USA customers

“Once you label me you negate me”. (Soren Kiekegard)
"If you’re alive, you’re aging. It’s as simple as that" (Jeanette Leardi)
A number of recent episodes on Growing Older Living Younger have focused on real and perceived judgments and discrimination on the basis of age, gender, ethnicity and ability, which leads me to agree somewhat with the quote from Kierkegard. As soon as we lose sight of the individual, and instead see only the wrinkles and grey hair, the cane or the wheelchair, skin color or clothing, and "label" them we negate the wholeness of that person.
I discuss this with my guest today, who was inspired by her decade of experiences as the primary caregiver to both of her parents, to make her encore career goals to change perceptions about the aging process. She helps people appreciate elders’ inherent dignity, wisdom, and unique value as mentors and catalysts for social change.
Jeanette Leardi is a social gerontologist, community educator, writer, editor, public speaker, and aging wellness leader. She has a master’s degree with honors in English from Rutgers University and a graduate certificate in gerontology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Jeanette is passionate about older adult empowerment. She finds special personal fulfillment helping Boomers and older generations identify and share their wisdom with others, through her publications, presentations and classes in journaling, spiritual writing, memoir writing, brain fitness, health literacy, ageism, intergenerational communication, creativity, and caregiver support to people of all ages. Her publishing experiences include positions at Newsweek, Life, People, Condé Nast Traveler, and Sesame Street magazines and The Charlotte Observer.
Our conversation leads us through her early work in creating educational materials for children to her present work in aging. We discuss similarities and differences in age discrimination from other kinds of discrimination (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia). She shares the different workshops she has developed to promote healthy aging.

“Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together. “ (Jaqueline Woodson).
“Don't let your age or ethnicity get in the way of your achievement. Your ethnicity is one of your assets and you are as youthful as you feel." (Dr. Gaye Lang)
I met today's guest, Dr. Gaye Lang, when we were both in the process of launching our respective podcasts and we agreed that our age was no impediment to learning new skills and taking on new challenges.
Dr. Gaye Lang is the president and founder of Workplace Restorative Practices, Inc. Her D.I.E.T strategy of Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Tolerance, reduces the possibility of workplace disputes leading to lawsuits and other unfavorable outcomes.
Dr. Lang earned a doctorate in education research and cultural studies from the University of Houston. She honed her leadership and relationship-building skills while serving as the Secretary Regional Representative for the White House. She is the author of Colorizing Restorative Justice: Voicing Our Realities, which won the Benjamin Franklin Silver Award, and of Seven: A Sorority's Story. She hosts the Workplace Diversity podcast, which focuses on (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Tolerance).
Our conversation begins with Dr. Lang sharing her story of what shaped you in to the powerful teacher and advocate she is today. We discuss the power of mentorship and her five African-American mentors, all men, but who recognized her ability and guided her career. She passes on her strategies for overcoming challenges and aging well.

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, Which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest, and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” (Confucius)
But what is wisdom?
Today’s guest, Dr. Dilip Jeste, suggests that "wise people are compassionate and empathetic, aware of their gifts and blind spots, open-minded, resolute and calm amid uncertainty, altruistic decision-makers who learn from their experiences, able to see from many perspectives and “altitudes,” and often blessed with a sense of adventure and humor."
Dr. Jeste, is the author of Wiser: The Scientific Roots of Wisdom, Compassion and What makes Us Good. He is Senior Associate Dean for Healthy Aging and Senior Care, Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Neurosciences, Estelle and Edgar Levi Memorial Chair in Aging, Director of the Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging, and Co-Director of the UC San Diego-IBM Center on Artificial Intelligence for Healthy Living. As a geriatric neuropsychiatrist specializing in successful psychosocial aging and the neurobiology of wisdom, he is the author of 750+ peer-reviewed journal articles, 160 book chapters and 14 published books.
Our conversation begins with the story of Dr. Jeste's story from his early interest in psychiatry and neuropsychiatric research in Mumbai, to his current neurobiological research at UC San Diego.
We discuss the brain as a physical construct versus mind as a collection of abstract elements without a physical basis. Yet neurobiological research shows that qualities like empathy or compassion actually can be mapped to anatomical locations in the brain.
We discuss wisdom and aging in the context of the grandmother hypothesis and the fact that human are the only species that lives far beyond our reproductive period.

"The idea is to die young as late as possible." (Ashley Montague)
"The trick is to have fun, fun, fun, die, and rectangularize your survival curve, or compress your morbidity to as late in life as possible." (Hans Parge)
Today's guest, Dr. Hans Parge shares my mission to change aging with science-based systems that extend health rather than just longevity.
Dr. Hans is trained in biomedical research and pharmaceutical drug discovery. His primary training is as an x ray crystallographer. He did his PhD at Trinity College in Dublin, and postdoctoral work in Berlin at the Free University, the University of Edinburgh, and the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla where he worked at the on the atomic structural analysis of proteins. the molecules of life. In 1993, he joined a startup company that pioneered structure based drug design in the pharmaceutical drug discovery process. In 2009, Dr. Heinz moved into the world of wellness, prevention and youthful aging
We discuss his Healthy Neighborhoods project, a grass roots movement to create a world that's nourished in mind and body and spirit by empowering people with awareness, innovative solutions, and an enriching and uplifting environment.

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." (Albert Einstein)
"You think of all the things we do to stay healthy, all the things we spend our money on and time thw can we get fit and healthy and the Scandinavians are primarily just walking." (Mandy Shintani)
Today, I am delighted to be able to introduce Mandy Shintani, founder and developer of Urban Poling to discuss how Urban Poling may be used to keep us moving, whether for rehabilitation or for simply enhancing mobility and fitness. Mandy has been an occupational therapist for 35 years and is a gerontologist. Sixteen years ago. using her skills as an OT, she developed the evidence based, FDA registered, Activator Poles and technique, specifically for rehabilitation. Mandy is an international conference speaker on walking poles for fitness and rehabilitation. Over 8000 therapists and wellness professionals worldwide have completed the courses that she developed. She was a finalist for the prestigious YWCA Women of Distinction entrepreneur and innovation award.
I first met Mandy almost a decade ago when I was introduced to the Activator Poles to aid in my rehabilitation from spinal surgery. We discuss howe the power of walking for fitness and health is enhanced by the upper body workout one gets by using the poles, and the innovative safety changes to the structure of the poles. We also discuss Mandy's entrepreneurial initiative to promote Urban Poling internationally.

"The only thing worse than being blind, is having sight but no vision." Helen Keller
"Glaucoma is called the silent thief of sight...because when you have elevated eye pressure, and it's damaging your eyes, you don't feel it. It can make you lose 90 to 100% of your vision before you notice it." Dr. Daniel La Roche
While Helen Keller speaks to the vision with which we approach growing older, in today's conversation we focus on loss of sight vision. It is critical to prevent those vision disorders that become an increasing worry as we personally age, or as we take care of others who are losing their sight.
A 2020 survey of blindness in people aged 50 years and older found that globally the second most common cause of blindness was glaucoma, affecting 3.6 million people. Today I talk with glaucoma specialist, Dr. Daniel Laroche, Director of Glaucoma Services and president of Advanced Eye Care of New York. He is a clinical assistant professor of ophthalmology with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center. Dr. LaRoche received his bachelor's degree from New York University, and his medical doctorate with honors in research, from Weill Cornell University Medical College, he completed his medical internship at Montefiore Hospital, his ophthalmology residency at Howard University Hospital in Washington DC and his glaucoma fellowship at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary with Glaucoma Associates of New York, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma
We discuss types of glaucoma, the prevalence in different ethnic groups, and the importance of annual eye checkups to recognize, prevent or treat the major causes of blindness. Cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy affected 21 million people > 51 globally in this 2020 survey (https://doi.org/10.1016/S2214-109X(20)30489-7)
As well as your annual eye test, lifestyle habits, exercise, good nutrition, sleep and meditation are important in preserving eye health.
We also discussed the powerful daily supplement I take to protect my eyes, especially the vulnerable macula area. Schedule a call with me at the link below to learn more about how you can protect your eyes.

"If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it." Lyndon B Johnson
Today we reflect on how our life on earth will be impacted, as declining birth rates and increased longevity drastically reshape population demographics.
My guest today is Bradley Schurman, a demographic futurist and author of The Super Age: Decoding our Demographic Destiny. He is the founder and CEO of The Super Age, a research and advisory firm specializing in helping organizations understand the challenges, and harness the opportunities of demographic change with a focus on population aging.
As Bradley describes, for most of human history, populations have resembled pyramids with lots of kids on the bottom while relatively few people made it to old age. But declining birth rates, and increased longevity are starting to square off those pyramids in the US, and most of Western Europe. In places like Japan, they're actually inverting with very few young people at the bottom, and a lot of older people at the top. We discuss the potential impacts on life in the future..

‘We’ve been merging with tools since the beginning of human evolution, and arguably, that’s one of the things that makes us human beings. ‘ (Franklin Foer)
Humankind has a very long history of using tools. Stone tools found in Ethiopia, possibly used for digging and cutting, were thought to date from 2.6 million years ago. While today we don’t have to seek out and sharpen stones to prepare our food, many of us are turning to digital tools to plan our meals, track what we eat and monitor how we are affected by food, exercise or sleep.
My guest today, Dr. Kasparas Aleknavičius is a medical doctor turned health futurist. As the head of medical affairs for Kilo Health, he merges his medical expertise with the tech world, exploring the future of health technologies. At Kilo Health, he helps inspire inventors and incubate new technologies. He provides medical leadership, clinical product development and helps manage digital health research and partnerships.
A recent report from Kilo Health, aimed at identifying health technology trends for 2022, states that in the 2 months preceding the report, over 50% of new investment went to design and build tools such as mobile solutions and apps to improve the quality of life for seniors and their caregivers.
I counted the health related apps that I have on my phone and found 12 apps without even scrolling through my lists. So I was curious to learn what digital tools may be coming on line for 2022.

"The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm. (Aldous Huxley)
I would add "never lose the enthusiasm, the curiosity about the world and the fearlessness of childhood". The message from today's guest is that while we stay youthful and vibrant as we grow older, we must celebrate ourselves along the journey.
It was delightful to meet my guest, Christina Martel, at a virtual networking event where she and I were both featured speakers on the theme of Living Younger. We share a common interest in combating ageism, and in encouraging our contemporaries to value and celebrate their wisdom accumulated through life experience.
Christina is the Founder of Celebrating Silver, an alliance of women in their prime, reclaiming their right to be truly seen and heard, without judgement and to contribute to the workforce should they choose to do so. ROARR, the acronym for the Celebrate Silver tag line - Reclaim Older Adult Rights and Respect, says it all.

'We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food.' (Marcus Samuelsson)
Today I talk with registered dietician, Jen Lyman, about new paradigms that are displacing long standing nutritional dogmas. We discuss the importance of becoming stronger rather than skinnier as we age. With concern about the rampant obesity epidemic, people worry about creeping weight gain. Rather than a focus on weight or BMI (body mass index), numbers that may categorize us as overweight or obese, we should focus on changes in body composition and the impact on other aspects of health. We touch on the importance of vitamin D, magnesium, and protein adequacy in our diets.
Jen suggests 1) eat highly bioavailable protein at every meal
2) walk and lift weights to build muscle mass and increase bone density 3) have vitamin D levels checked and supplement as needed
Jen is the owner of New Leaf Nutrition®, a nutrition counseling facility that focuses on long-term client relationships to improve health in a sustainable way. New Leaf Nutrition takes a holistic approach to nutrition therapy, including functional medicine testing such as food sensitivity testing (MRT), hormone testing (DUTCH), and gut analysis assays (GI Map).

'A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.' (Steve Martin)
Sadly, especially in recent times, too many people get too little sunshine, literally and metaphorically, to make a difference in their lives. Today we talk about the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D, and how recent science changed the way long time family physician, Dr. Dave McCarthy, thought about deficiency diseases. We discuss Vitamin D and other deficiency states, criteria for determination of nutritional adequacy, and the cost effectiveness of prevention.
About Dr. Dave McCarthy:
After obtaining his Doctor of Medicine (MD) from the University of Connecticut, Dr. Dave got specialty training in family medicine with the US Air Force and further training in pharmacology, aerospace medicine, and global infectious disease management.
A former Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine, Creighton University, he is trained and certified as a National Medical Incident Commander (USA) and had a twenty-four year career in the US Air Force Medical Corps. For thirteen year, he practiced as a civilian family physician, retiring from clinical practice in 2012 to focus on providing clinical insights to scientists documenting and investigating the impact of deficiency states on outcomes in healthcare.

Too old at 72? Careful. Ageism is out. We'll have the law on you! (Melvyn Bragg)
Hubris? I avoid 'isms' but I open this conversation with an anecdote of the first overt instance of ageism that I personally encountered, just before recording this podcast.
Today's guest explores the structural ways we tolerate and promote behaviors toward people based solely on their age and how cultural norms and prejudices unconsciously shape our treatment of others and expectations about our own aging.
We talk about what ageism, ableism and successful aging means and how these concepts affect both societal attitudes but also our own perceptions of ourselves extending into every factet of life including technology.

"Our goal is to 'die healthy' " Joe ChangTo extend your healthspan and stay youthful and vibrant as you age, you must affect aging processes where genes operate, at the cellular level. Dr. Joe Chang discusses the application of gene expression research to changing aging.
Gerontology scientist, S. Jay Olshansky contended that 'Once you avoid the things that accelerate aging like smoking, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, and excessive sun exposure, you've done about as much as you can to influence your aging process.'
We now know that this is not so. Dr. Chang, author of The Aging Myth, explains the key biological roles that epigenetics plays to construct the person we become and influences our aging.
We discuss how the different rates, time and intensity of aging phenomena in different tissues may be influenced by external factors, such as the impact of smoking on the lungs. The efficiency of mitochondrial energy production versus free radical release is altered with age as is the efficiency of autophagy, (cellular cleansing). These processes can be enhanced through epigenetic supplements. We discuss the importance of supplying optimal prebiotics to the gut microbiome.
About Dr. Chang.
Dr. Joe Chang is the Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President of Nu Skin Enterprises Inc., a beauty and wellness company. With 35 years of pharmaceutical experience, numerous scientific articles, reviews and books on pharmacological research, Dr. Chang has a comprehensive knowledge of both the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries. He has led teams that developed novel drugs for arthritis, asthma and autoimmune diseases and directed more than 60 scientists in drug discovery research based on botanicals and natural products. Dr. Chang obtained his doctorate in Pharmacology from the University of London where he conducted research at the Royal College of Surgeons, England. Early in his career he was the Arthritis Foundation fellow at The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health.

Agnes de Mille, American dancer and choreographer expresses the power of dance: "To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking."
Does dance also have the power to ward off dementia? Today's guest is Dr. Joe Verghese, Professor of Neurology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. His research centers around the effects of aging and disease on gait and cognition in older adults, and whether cognitively stimulating activities such as dance, can reduce the risk of losing mobility, falling, developing dementia and general poor health.
In an early study of the association of Leisure Activities and the Risk of Dementia in the Elderly, 3 of 6 cognitive activities included (reading, playing board games and playing musical instruments) were associated with a lower risk for dementia, but of the 9 listed physical activities, only dancing was associated with a lowered risk.
We touch on current studies of physicality and cognitive training for those at risk for Alzheimer's. One recent pilot study into the impact of regular social dancing as an intervention in older adults at high risk for Alzheimer's disease had to be cut short during the pandemic with only half the expected participants completing the study. Another recent study is investigating whether computerized cognitive training could enhance mobility in older adults. There remains some controversy about cognitive training. It is clear that there is a 'near transfer' effect, improvement on testing because you're training on that same process on which you're testing them. And consistently, almost every study shows that there is a near transfer effect. The challenge is whether that translates into improvement of executive function for real life skills, ie, a 'far transfer effect.'
For those of us looking to age youthfully, keeping active both physically and mentally, Dr Verghese suggests: "Pick a few leisure activities that you enjoy and then engage in them at least five days a week, but every day, if you can. It's good if you do it as part of a group, because then there's a group dynamic; when you get together in a group, there's peer support that you get. And also increasingly we are recognizing that socialization itself might have cognitive benefits. So people who socialize more tend to have better cognitive function. and seem to be at less risk of cognitive decline"

"Human memory is a marvelous but fallacious instrument. The memories which lie within us are not carved in stone; not only do they tend to become erased as the years go by, but often they change, or even increase by incorporating extraneous features". (Primo Levi)
Christine and Brian Phillips, with their daughter, Gwenda, are the developers of the Your Hidden Mind (YHM) system - an online tool that utilises the science of Memory Reconsolidation to unlock and reorganize longstanding memories so that individuals can learn to 'observe their own behaviors, find out what really drives them, and address and reduce intensity issues they currently display.'
Together with scientists at the Auckland University of Technology, National Institute of Stroke, and Applied Sciences, YHM has a pre-pilot, unique 28 day online research program, that utilizes a series of randomly selected RAPS (Rhythmic Activating Prose) to be listened to or read aloud.

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live". (Norman Cousins)
Not allowing joy to die within you when you suffer a major loss of a loved one is vital for an optimistic, positive life view. Yet finding joy again can be hard, seemingly impossible. We increasingly experience the death of friends and family as we age. The better we can decrease the stress of these losses, the less impact this will have on our aging trajectory says today's guest.
Joshua Black, PhD, is one of the world’s leading academic experts in grief dreams. He is a grief researcher, speaker, consultant, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast. His work focuses on dreams and continuing bonds after loss.
Previous guests have discussed ways of healing after loss or traumas, becoming resilient, and accepting the importance of self-care as you care for others. Today we discuss dreaming and another manifestation of grief, the Grief Dream.

Albert Einstein wrote 'We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.'
The intent of the Growing Older Living Younger podcast is to introduce new ways of thinking about the problems of how we age, to help our listeners discover their personal roadmaps to aging well.
As this episode kicks off Season 2, we reflect that we have listened to many experts, but what did we actually hear them say?
I talk with Brian Morgan. President of Think Deeply, Write Clearly about bridging the many divides that are polarizing our society, by creative thinking and communication.
We discuss the rampant proclamations of unsubstantiated information through myriad digital platform and social media, and the replacement of informed and constructive debate by 'cancel culture'.
As communicators how can we best share valuable information or ideas, knowing that our listeners will interpret our words in the context of their unique lived experience?
As listeners how do we find the underlying context of the facts or opinions that are being put forward in discussion, to have a civilised discussion even though we may disagree?
Listening to our expert guests, how can we best hear what they say, and put it into the context of our lifestyles to make decisions that are appropriate for ourselves.
The act of thinking deeply and creatively, being curious and laying down new neural pathways and connections, is one way to help our minds stay active, and our brains age youthfully.

"When I think about the Elijah moment, it means we may not be able to change the world, but each and every one of us can change the world of one person. " {Rabbi Daniel Cohen)
"*The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why." (Mark Twain)*
Reflecting on my life, for most of the earlier years, like most of us I was just too busy living to think about why. The theme of today's conversation, centers on the soul-searching questions, what is your life purpose, your why ? And what will be your legacy?
To help me and you answer this question, I am honored to have as my guest, Rabbi Daniel Cohen. He is the author of What Will They Say About You When You Are Gone? Creating a Life of Legacy. He also co-hosts the nationally syndicated Radio Show, The Rabbi and the Reverend , with Reverend Greg Doll.
Rabbi Cohen has served in the rabbinate for over thirty years and currently serves as senior Rabbi in Stamford, CT, at the largest modern orthodox synagogue in New England.
Before discussing his book, which suggests 7 Principles to realize one's life purpose at any age and provides a toolbox of ideas, we talk about the opening exercise. Designed to help one reflect on how you would want to be remembered so that you can reverse engineer your life choices and decisions going forward. What will they say about you when you are gone?
Takeaways:
Connect- think of someone in your life that you have meant to call, who needs a little inspiration or a kind word, but time got away and you have not connected. Don't wait another minute – text or call.
There is a concept of mysticism that if you have a fluttering in your soul to do something good, seize the moment, because that is your soul's way of telling you to bring a little more light into the world.

In my book Growing Older, Living Younger, the Science of Aging Gracefully and the Art of Retiring Comfortably, I describe my personal roadmap for aging well, based on seven foundational pillars.
Today I talk about the fifth foundational pillar. I call Pillar Five You Are Not Alone, and it focuses on Connection. As I was reflecting on living alone, loneliness, and the potential adverse consequences for mental and also physical health, I was grateful for the insights that had earlier led me to prepare myself to avoid the dangers of isolation.
2016 data from Canada and the USA showed that single person households were becoming more prevalent and that millions of people were living alone. Social isolation is a major risk factor for mental and physical adverse effects.This has been even more evident with the isolation of the pandemic. Connection and community is key to healthy aging.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. (Virginia Woolf)
Today I talk about what dining well means to me, and how, embracing ketogenic nutrition and time-restricted eating changed my aging trajectory from a downward path to ill health, to aging youthfully with energy, vitality and grace.
On my journey of recovery from sciatica and emergency spinal surgery, I learned to think of food as medicine. Once I discarded all the tired myths and misinformation about food and nutrition, this changed my life. I lost body fat, regained my energy and vitality, and became an entrepreneur at 70, focusing on helping others stay healthy and vibrant as they age.

'By teaching people to tune in to their emotions with intelligence and to expand their circles of caring, we can transform organizations from the inside out and make a positive difference in our world.' (Daniel Goleman)
"What is motivating the individual to get to the destination is a promise that life will all work out and they will feel good when they finally get there. I'm here to tell you that without doing the inner work — really doing the inner work — you'll be chasing that for the rest of your life and never find it ‘out there.’ It’s an inside job and not that complicated. You just have to have the courage to do it. (Shasheen Shah )
In this episode we discuss how emotional mastery, through acknowledging your inner kid with love and compassion, can reignite your life. In his work as a Consultant and Coach of high achieving corporate professionals, my guest today places equal value on the importance of emotional mastery in defining and attaining work and personal goals.
Shasheen Shah is the CEO of Coherent Strategies Consulting and Coaching. For more than 20 years, he has delivered breakthrough results to successful leaders around the world, navigating business outcomes and the personal challenges that go hand in hand with the journey. High-achieving professionals from Tesla, LinkedIn, Hewlett Packard and IBM, are but a few who have benefited from Shasheen’s life-altering coaching skills.
In his powerful new book T*he Kid and the King.**The Hidden Inner Struggle High Achievers Must Conquer to Reignite and Reengage with Life,* Shasheen provides a foundational guide to help individuals achieve not only outstanding business results, but create amazing personal lives as well.
Whether or not we are entrepreneurs or high achieving corporate executives, each one of us is the CEO of our own lives. We have dreams and aspirations and we set goals and deadlines to achieve them by. A healthy and happy life with healthy and happy family bonds, is a destination to which most of us aspire but the roadmap we create for ourselves is too often winding, bumpy and full of potholes. How we respond emotionally to the detours and the potholes holds the key to reaching our destination The 5 step Emotional Mastery Process that Shasheen introduces in his book can benefit us all.

"Growing older can zap our energy, change our perspective, and challenge our stability. Yet the longing to make a difference in the ones we love lingers, like the fragrance in a home when a sweet candle’s flame has been extinguished.' (Rebecca Barlow Jordan)
Today we are asking the question - have you thought about hosting a podcast? You may be wondering how is podcasting relevant to Living Younger and why you should even contemplate it.

"What we hold in our heads, our memory, our feelings, our thoughts, our sense of our own history, is the sum of our humanity.' (Richard Eyre)
When I asked baby boomer and Gen X men and women what they feared most about growing older, memory loss and a fear of developing dementia were major concerns.
Many find it hard to differentiate between forgetfulness or memory loss that happens to all of us at some time or another, mild cognitive impairment in which they experience more severe symptoms than their age cohort, and dementia.
As the lifespan of our global population has increased, so has the prevalence of dementia. According to Alzheimer's disease International, In 2020 there were more than 55 million people worldwide, living with dementia.
Freezing my contact lens was a wakeup call for me, triggering a hunt for measures to preserve my cognitive functions and keep my brain and body vital and energetic.
Already exercising regularly, eating well, getting quality sleep and training my brain, I added two plant-derived supplements, known to support cellular energy production and cellular purification, to my epigenetic and micronutrient regimen. Have not frozen my contact lens since!

'The great solution to all human problems is individual in a transformation.' (Vernon Howard)
'What creates our reality is not really the action we're taking. But the being state that stands behind the action.' (Esra B. Ogut)
One of the seven key pillars of the Growing Older Living Younger roadmap to aging youthfully, is comprised of the 3 attributes Mindset, Mindfulness and Mindkeep. Earlier episodes of this podcast have focused on beliefs, behaviors and consequences, resilience and healing from trauma, living with purpose, and keeping your cognitive functions sharp.
Today we talk about transformation. How the myths we create through our life experiences can hold us back, or help us achieve what we desire, and how we can transform limiting beliefs into a force for positive growth.
Esra Ogut is a transformational coach, yoga teacher, and author of a new book. Money Does Grow on Trees: The Myths We Create and Live By. Transforming her own mythology, took her from working as a shoe salesgirl to living a millionaire life. With her husband, Ike, they run a certification program in transformational coaching.
Her key takeaway is the suggestion to do this simple exercise every day, Be grateful and express your gratitude in 10-15 sentences for 2 to 3 different subjects that are already present in your life. Speak this and be grateful, until you sense a change of state within you; until you start feeling different, until you feel your frequency rise. Then move on to start being grateful for things that you would want to happen in your life as if they have already happened. That's a very, very big tool of manifestation.

'The way to deal with the devil of diabetes and obesity is literally one day at a time.' (Stephen Furst)
'My four pillars of health are fun and effective exercise, healthy food choices and eating habits, effective stress management, and sleeping with purpose' (Dr. Zynul Khan )
For the past 18 months, every aspect of our lives has been dominated by the covid 19 viral pandemic. There have been over 200 million cases and more than 4 million deaths worldwide. But meanwhile another far more insidious epidemic, has been spreading globally, shortening lifespan with its associated disorders of unhealthy aging. Diabesity, the intertwined epidemics of obesity and diabetes, affects millions of adults and children. And there are no signs that we are 'flattening the diabesity curve'.
Worldwide, obesity has nearly tripled since 1975, in parallel with the demonizing of dietary fat and cholesterol, and the massive growth of the fast food and processed food industries. International data show that globally, about 462 million individuals, roughly 6 % of the world's population are affected by type 2 diabetes. More sobering is research suggesting that as many of 1 in 3 adults may be pre-diabetic and that 90% of them do not know it.
Growing Older Living Younger aims to help people increase their health span, staying well in mind and body till the end. Understanding how to prevent or reverse obesity and diabetes is arguably one of the most important steps each of us must take to age in health.
Increasingly, physicians from a range of specialties, are realizing from personal experience, that helping their patients manage their nutritional health, is as important as treating the specific conditions of their specialty. And today’s guest is one such physician.
I talk with Dr. Zynul Khan, a Sports and Exercise medicine physician who has focused his career on the treatment and prevention of non-communicable and lifestyle diseases such as Diabetes, Hypertension and Obesity. Using the methods learnt in Exercise medicine and his extensive training and experience working with sports teams and athletes such as the Trinidad and Tobago National Hockey Team and Guyana Olympic Association, Dr. Khan has developed courses that help those struggling with diabetes, pre-diabetes (obesity), losing weight or those who want to challenge themselves to live a healthier life. We discuss diabetes, pre-diabetes, the link between body weight and diabetes and how diabesity can be reversed.
Dr. Khan defines his 4 pillars of health as exercising in a fun and effective manner, making healthy food choices, using effective stress management techniques and sleeping with purpose.

Aptly for today, we have two motivational quotes.
'The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary' (Vince Lombard)
*'Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile**'* (Franklin P. Jones)
'Rather than think about life in balance, think about how you want to integrate your life. If you think of life as integrated, things shift and blend, rather than win or lose' (Karen Pierce)
Today our conversation is about having it all, a successful professional career and loving, nurturing family life. Like me, my guest today, Karen Pierce, had (and still has) it all. Her early achievements as a pilot and aerospace engineer, are awesome. In today's world we hear a lot about overwhelm, and of having to maintain a work-life balance. Karen suggests that striving to balance work and life may not be the right approach.
Karen Pierce, is an author, speaker, executive coach and consultant. As a businesswoman and pilot ,her career broke new ground for women in the corporate world. Graduating top of her aerospace engineering class, Karen led large teams at leading aerospace firms like Honeywell and Northwest Airlines, searching out new technologies, and implementing multiple 9-figure programs on a worldwide basis. With her family, she spent 16 years in Asia, beginning her own business helping with the growth and success of non-profits and educational institutions in Japan and China. Back in the US, she consults and coaches technology and marketing for both small, high-tech startup businesses and major corporations. Happily married 40 years to the man of her dreams, they raised two amazing men while juggling dynamic careers, and 22 moves-10 internationally.
Karen’s greatest desire is to inspire people to fulfill their purpose and to impact the world and their families for generations to come. Oprah said famously, that you could have it all, you just couldn't have it all at the same time. Karen believes you can.

'If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. (Jim Rohn)
'I had to figure out a way to turn on my heart and mind, connect them together with my body, and once I did that, everything started going up from there' (Michael Johnson)
As a professional ballroom dance competitor, Michael Johnson had natural talent and a great work ethic but he found himself searching for something more, the 'it' factor that would take him to the top. That secret ingredient was authenticity, that essence that shines through when your heart, mind and body meld into one. With that journey of self discovery, came the realization that he had the vision and the tools to help others, both within and outside the dance community, find and fulfil their life plans.
Michael Johnson, has mastered the art of designing his life plan, the plan that first took him to the peak of his career as a Ballroom Dance Professional Competitor, Adjudicator and Teacher and then led him to create Majic for Life, with programs to help others design and achieve their life and business goals.
Michael is an author, Life Coach, Master NLP Practitioner, and a Business Mindset Consultant, who brings a unique and effective approach to taking your life to the next level using emotional education, intelligence, and mastery to deal with the challenges that life and business throw at you every day.
Michael has been dancing since he was five years old and has been teaching for over 27 years. He received a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University where he also earned a scholarship to be part of their prestigious Ballroom Dance company. During his Amateur competitive career, Michael won numerous events in Latin (cha cha, samba, rumba, paso doble and jive), Standard (waltz, tango, Viennese waltz, foxtrot and quickstep), and Ten Dance (all 10 dances) and he has two US Swing titles. While competing professionally, he also was one of the top teachers in the United States winning multiple top teacher awards.
In this conversation you will hear how a five year old boy accompanying his mother to her dance lessons, became a top dance competitor, discovered a passion for helping others succeed, and founded Majic for LIfe, to help others transcend their current experience and take their llves to a new level.

'Life is a journey that must be travelled, no matter how bad the roads and the accommodations' . (Oliver Goldsmith)
'I found my personal roadmap to healthy aging; together we can find yours'. (Gillian Lockitch )
In this episode, in response to those who asked to hear the story underlying the Growing Older Living Younger book and podcast , I talk about the series of traumas that left me in a dark unhealthy place and of the pivotal 'light bulb' movements that altered the trajectory and the mission of my life.
To reach your destination you need to know where you want to go but also, the best way to get there. The 7 Pillars of my roadmap can help you find better roads and healthier accommodations.
Discover what you want to achieve and believe you can do it. The "common disorders of aging' are really disorders of unhealthy aging. Aim to extend your healthspan, not just your lifespan.

'Take care of your body – it's the only place you have to live.' (Jim Rohn)
'As a young trainer I thought I could do everything. Now as an older trainer I realized that there are some things I do really, really well, and those are the clients I like to work with because that's when my best attributes come out' (Cale Dougans)
Every body needs to move. When the subject of slowing aging comes up, invariably there is immense polarization over diet and nutrition, use of medications or alternative therapies. But one area about which there is general agreement, is that keeping your body moving is fundamental to health. Regular exercise, whether through sport, resistance training, cardio workouts, work activities or the activities of daily life positively affects the body and the mind. One of the most important ways that anyone can take care of their body is through staying physically fit and active.
Many national and global guidelines have been issued on the recommended minimum quantity and frequency of exercise for health but many adults don't even meet these minimum goals. Self-isolation and lockdowns during the pandemic further restricted opportunities for working out.
In today's program we explore some of the factors that keep people from exercising and becoming fit, and discuss programs that aim to help seniors restore and maintain functionality.
Cale Dougans is a personal trainer and one of the key professionals that accelerated my recovery and rehabilitation after spinal surgery. I began to train with Cale when I retired and took up ballroom dancing as my main fitness and fun activity. I badly needed help with strength, flexibility and posture. The trust I developed in his kinetics knowledge and training skills, by working with him prior to my surgery, was important in helping me overcome my fear of re-injury during rehabilitation.
Cale grew up playing competitive baseball and basketball. His passion for sports led him to study at the University of British Columbia, where he completed his Degree in Human Kinetics and competed for the UBC Thunderbirds baseball team in their inaugural season.
As a young undergrad working in the UBC Student's Recreation Centre, Cale was part of the early days of the Changing Aging Program, which specialized in functional fitness for older adults.
With over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry, Cale is the director of The Studio at Envision, where he manages the daily operations of the training floor, as well as training his personal clients.
Cale recomends
- Make an honest assessment of yourself before you start an exercise program. Check in with your doctor to help you assess risk factors that may require starting slower in some areas
- Do your research before picking a trainer and be sure that they have experience in the areas you need. Some work with elite athletes, others specialize in sports injuries, others work with older adults. Find one that is expert in what you need.
- Build a long term relationship so your trainer knows you well and realise that your training needs will change over time.

'Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.' (Jonas Salk)
'My mission was to revolutionize client and health and wellness provider experiences with an easy to use app that would help people find the services that they need where they live' (Hedieh Safiyari0
At some stage in our lives almost all of us will find ourselves looking for health care resources needed by ourselves, a family member or a friend. And even though you may yourself be part of the system, a nurse, a doctor or a technician, when you or your loved one becomes a patient, your experience counts for little in accessing help.
Hedieh (Heidi) Safiyari, dared to dream of a solution. She became the Founder and CEO of Prompt Health, a web program and app created to connect people to the right services according to their needs. Her personal experiences looking for help with healing from athletic injuries, working with cardiac rehabilitation clients, and caring for her mom through two bouts of cancer, led her to find a way to help people find the services they need where they live.
Heidi completed undergraduate and Masters degrees In Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia, focusing in cardiac rehabilitation. Over the next 15 years her personal and professional experiences led her to the dream of building a resource to connect people with the professional health and wellness services that they needed. On graduation from the Global Executive MBA program at Simon Fraser University, she embarked on a 3 year research and development venture that culminated in the launch of PromptHealth.

'The moment is everything. Don't think about tomorrow, don't think about yesterday, think about exactly what you're doing right now. Live it and dance it and breathe it. And be it.' (Wendy Whelan)
'Depression steals lives, and it stole my life. I was totally disempowered by ill-health. Yoga cracked me open, meditation helped me fall apart and the blocks I had constructed to feel safe, crumbled away. Over time the foundational self-care practices I created freed me to be at the highest vibrational frequency and show up as my best self' (Kathleen Woodington)
Empowerment Coach and Wellness Pro, Kathleen Woodington, is the creator of the Ultimate Resilience Formula. She shows high achieving women entrepreneurs who struggle with fatigue, burn out and depression, how to feel hope, experience more energy and step into their power.
Kathleen worked in health care, as an occupational therapist, until incapacitating fatigue from thyroid disease and depression made it impossible for her to work. We talk about her journey of discovery through yoga, meditation and other energy healing practices to the vibrant person she is today.
During our conversation Kathleen led me through a simple breathing exercise and introduced me to the Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as Tapping, and we compared the morning practices we each use to set ourselves up for the day.
Kathleen suggests that if you are struggling with finding and centering yourself in this highly stressed world, get support and find the calm in the chaos.

'Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.' (Kallam Anji Reddy)
'When you live your purpose you are in the flow. Life is effortless, opportunities flow to you and you become unstoppable" (H. Richard Steinhoff)
As we explore the steps we can take to lead ourselves to a happier, healthier life, it becomes increasingly evident that the starting point for the roadmap to aging youthfully is in your mind. In previous episodes you heard about resilience, about rebounding from trauma, and beliefs that influence behavior. Also how to avoid a life of regrets and t training your brain to keep your cognitive powers sharp. Today we discuss finding your life purpose.
A near-death experience led today's guest to realize his life purpose. Richard Steinhoff is the author of "Dying on Purpose: How My Near-Death Experience Can Change Your LIfe." Richard is a real estate broker who has written 8 books on real estate. He is a community leader, dedicated to improving people's lives.
We touch briefly on his career in aerospace, working on the Apollo program and having the incredible experience of being at Cape Canaveral for the Apollo 13 mission. Neither that nor his dedication to fundraising for the arts, suggested that he would one day write a book about a near-death experience that could change people's lives around the world.
Prior to this life transforming event, Richard had it all, a beautiful, loving wife, and a successful real estate business. When a diseased gallbladder landed him in the hospital for surgery, a series of complications on the operating table nearly killed him. He had an out-of-body, Near-Death Experience, encountering a heavenly being, who told him he had to return to his body because he had not completed his life's purpose. From then on, he knew his life purpose was to guide others to discover theirs.
Richard suggests that you find the one thing that you are truly gifted at, something no one else can do but you, and live a purposeful life to make a positive impact on the world around you.

'Brains at any age are capable of rewiring and changing. No one should be aging, thinking that it's all downhill from here' (Dr. Henry Mahncke)
'The human brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10 thousand other neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe" (Michio Kaku)
In this conversation with research neuroscientist, Dr. Henry W. Mahncke, we unpack new insights into how we can keep that 'most complicated object' working optimally. The brain is a physical organ that can change anatomically, or be damaged by trauma, infections or the inability to cleanse and repair cells. Mind is an intangible complex of functions such as thinking, feeling, remembering. Brain training is a way to make physical changes in the brain, that translate into a more efficiently functioning mind.
Dr. Mahncke is the CEO of Posit Science who provides BrainHQ. This is an online and app program of plasticity-based brain training exercises to improve cognitive measures like attention, memory, processing speed and executive functions that improve measures of real world activities like driving, balance, gait, mood, confidence and everyday cognitive functions.
Brain plasticity suggests that we may be able to rewire our brains regardless of age, neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's Disease and even genetic syndromes such as Down Syndrome.
At Posit Science, Dr. Mahncke established the company’s global scientific advisory boards and the extensive research program that has resulted in more than 150 published peer-reviewed articles demonstrating the effect of brain training on the mind..
Dr. Mahncke suggests that how you use your brain matters – organize your life to be full of new learning and don't be afraid of doing something new because you might fail but embrace the challenge. Exercise your brain. BrainHQ is designed to train all the areas discussed and. Help your brain become become faster and more accurate.
We need room in our hearts for kids who are developing who are progressing in different ways. It’s normal to worry, but assuming the worst right away wouldn’t be right. There isn’t just one kind of brain that’s permitted to be successful.

'The paradox of trauma is that it has both the power to destroy and the power to transform and resurrect' (Peter A Levine)
'I see a world where everyone has access to the skills of goal setting, time management, conflict resolution, leadership, personal finance, etiquette, stress reduction, and much more. I’m convinced that these skills could have prevented some of the disasters I have seen. More importantly, they provide the foundation for people to not just survive but thrive.' (Dr. Randall Bell)
Dr. Randall Bell is an economist, sociologist and a world authority on post traumatic thriving. He has consulted on major disasters worldwide, including the largest climate, environmental and terrorist cases, such as Hurricane Katrina, the Bikini Atoll nuclear test sites, and the 911 destruction of the World Trade Center. Dr. Bill is the author of Post –Traumatic Thriving: The Art, Science and Stories of Resilience His book relates stories of people who were able to use energy generated by their trauma to propel them to achieve great things. Dr. Bell sets out a three stage process (Dive, Survive and Thrive) through which survivors can emerge healed whole and able to thrive.
Dr. Bell suggests that you 'Sit in the Fire'. Share your story. Allow yourself to be vulnerable to others, don’t bottle up your emotions. Sitting in the fire is when we have those ugly, embarrassing conversations about trauma and, and it feels like you're sitting in a fire because you're burning up with emotion. Ground yourself. Try meditation or deep breathing. This is a very simple technique that many thrivers practice.
Understand that trauma happens to all of us. By college age, 66-85% of people already have experienced trauma. When you get older, it's going to be 100%. But there are healthy ways to deal with it and emerge stronger despite it.

'A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.' (John Barrymore)
'Miracles are objects and events in nature and in our lives, that cannot be fully explained or recreated' (Dr. Harley Rotbart)
Dr. Harley Rotbart is the author of ”No Regrets Living: 7 keys to a life of Wonder and Contentment”, isan infectious disease specialist, Professor and Vice-Chair Emeritus of Paediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Having over 175 medical and scientific publications, his career is deeply rooted in science. Yet his experiences as a physician at Children's Hospital Colorado, taught him to believe in miracles, and that there are things beyond our ability to know.
His 7 Keys to a life of content encompass belief in a power greater than ourselves, discovering the messiah within each of us, healing evil whether within ourselves or in the world around us, appreciating and giving thanks, accepting things we regret by putting them into the context in which they occurred, seeking purpose and also self-forgiveness and finally growing, by looking back and seeing how far we have come and knowing there is growth still to come.
Dr. Rotbart suggests that we have to discover miracles around us in order to appreciate the non-miraculous moments in our lives, that is, discover the magnificence around us. Live like you are dying and don’t put off important things to the future. Accept that there is something greater than us, whatever your unique belief may be, and be humbled by knowing there are some things that are out of our control.

'When women are provided with training and entrepreneurial opportunities in distribution networks they become rolemodels in their communities showing it is possible to change limiting norms and stereotypes and to succeed.' (Paul Polman)
'Change is good if you approach it from a place of curiosity. We all have blind spots. We don’t know what we don’t know. Once you eliminate that blind spot you have a choice- to move forward- or not. So choose wisely' (Connie Whitman)
Connie Whitman shares insights about how real communication, listening, not just hearing, can allay fears of taking on a new venture. Connie is known for her high-energy, passionate, heart-centered and enthusiastic approach to teaching and coaching. Connie has been the CEO of Whitman and Associates for over 20 years, helping business owners, leaders and sales teams build powerhouse organizations through transformational tools and enhanced communication skills. Her book, ESP - Easy Sales Process, 7 steps to sales success, is a three-time #1 international book seller. She shares her inspiring comments and content in her weekly international podcast, “The Heart-Centered Sales Leader and Enlightenment of Change”.
Connie suggests that you don’t be reckless, instead, take calculated risks. Look for the best case scenario and the upward potential. Don’t let fear stop you.
Hearing is automatic - listening is intentional. People care when you show that you care about them and not only at what you have to say. Go into listening mode when you’ve noticed that you’re the only one talking in the conversation - ask a question.

'Just say yes to never giving up your passion and you will retain your health, both mentally and physically.' (Steven Radiloff )
We discuss how body alignment through fascial release counters muscle tension and helps you retain a healthy range of motion after active exercise. Steven Radiloff, Certified Advanced Rolfer, trained at the Rocky Mountain Healing Arts Institute and the Rolf Institute, where he obtained his advanced rolfing certification. For over 40 years, Steven has integrated modalities of energy healing, and craniosacral therapy into his rolfing practice, to create a total approach to health and wellbeing through the mind-body connection. Steven was one of the key people who helped me recover from spinal surgery so that I could once again become the dancing doc and active, optimistic, entrepreneurial person that I am today.
Steven suggests that Rolfing aligns your body by freeing fascial tissues from surrounding muscle and enhances freedom and range of movement. Movement is key, keep mentally and physically active. Follow your passion, be open to opportunity

'You live as long as you dance'( Rudolph Nureyev)

'In nature there are neither rewards not punishments. There are consequences.' (Robert Green Ingersoll)
“We are a product of what we believe to be true which will always be true for us… until something in life happens that encourages us to think differently.” (Rael Kalley)
Rael Kalley has been president of coaching and consulting firm, Strategic Pathways, since 1995. He is the best-selling author of 'Life Sinks or Soars – the Choice is Yours.' With over 35,000 copies sold, Rael's book is a fascinating parable in the vein of The Alchemist and a transformational resource for people looking to change their life and find professional fulfillment. He hosts his popular personal and professional development blog on his website, strategicpathways.net
Rael developed the one-of-a-kind coaching methodology, OnCourse. Based on three years of intensive research, OnCourse propels clients to experience long-term, sustainable change in their lives at the deepest, most visceral level.
Rael also brings his message to corporate settings. He believes what we call 'habits' in our personal lives emerge as culture in the corporate world. In both cases, we are the product of what we repeatedly do, whether advantageous or the opposite. Rael helps organizations ensure they are choosing their culture by design, not by default.
Rael suggests that we act according to what we believe to be true, but it’s often damaging to ourselves because it influences what we believe what we’re capable of and even influences what we attempt to accomplish.
Habits make up who we are - they’re not only the things we do repeatedly, but also the things we don’t do. Most of our attempts to change our habits turn out to be unsuccessful because we focus on changing our behavior. To change our habits effectively and permanently we must first change what we believe to be true

' And you do come out of it, that’s true. After a year, after five. But you don’t come out of it like a train coming out of a tunnel, bursting through the downs into sunshine and that swift, rattling descent to the Channel; you come out of it as a gull comes out of an oil-slick. You are tarred and feathered for life.' (Julian Barnes)
'We often take self-care for granted… but if we don’t do that, the well of all we give is empty. If we don’t fill it, we can’t give any more.' (Lee Atherton)
Lee Atherton studied at Erickson College and Andover Newton Theological School. She is an ordained minister and a certified end-of-life grief support and resilience coach. For over 15 years, Lee has been helping individuals and those in the helping professions such as chaplains, clergy, first responders and clinicians, deal with extreme stress or chaos of life and loss and grief. Lee’s goal is to guide others into personal resiliency so they, in turn, can help others navigate their life stresses.
Lee suggests that If you want to care for others effectively, you must also care for yourself - you can't give to others out of an empty well. Resilience is not a suit of armor, rather, it is a protective shield of courage that’s strong and dependable just as it is malleable and honest.

'Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work .' (Thomas Edison)
'People tell me ‘you’re not the same person that I was 20 years ago’ and I say good! I don’t want to be that same person, I want to grow' (Darlene Shearer)
Darlene Shearer is an entrepreneur who, over the past 3 decades has built and run a global business in health, beauty, and anti-aging.

Darlene believes that a meaningful life means living a life that contributes to others and that growth and learning should be a lifelong pursuit.

"The choices you make, your thoughts, what you eat, how you move, how you interact with others, can change your aging at the cellular level.' (Gillian Lockitch)
Welcome to Growing Older, Living Younger (GOLY), the podcast where you will discover ways to boost your metabolism, enhance your mental and physical energy, and ward off disorders we wrongly think are inevitable as we age. Your host, Dr. Gillian Lockitch, evolved her personal road map to aging youthfully during her rehabilitation from emergency spinal surgery following a series of catastrophic life events . After leaving her 25 year career as a specialist in Medical Biochemistry, professor, researcher and international speaker, she began to explore ways in which the burgeoning field of epigenetic (gene expression) science could intersect with ancient, non-western wellness practices to extend our health span rather than just our lifespan.
Her personal journey, described in her book, Growing Older, Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably, reveals the 7 foundational pillars on which the GOLY Project is founded.
Tune in weekly to hear from experts and practitioners in mental and physical health, fitness, nutrition, personal care, entrepreneurship, community and networking, to help you create your personal roadmap to aging youthfully.
