Growing Older Living Younger: About longevity, wellness, healthspan, (Dr. Gillian Lockitch)

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.

“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

He has taught photographic workshops in Norway, and other countries such as Morocco, France, Cuba, Ethiopia, Israel, Palestine, the Faroe Islands, Croatia, Sri Lanka, Montenegro and Spitsbergen. He has traveled by car, bicycle, motorbike, and kayak and sailboat through over 80 countries. In 1996, he was one of the first Norwegian medics to work with Doctors Without Borders,  in war torn Angola. In his 25 year career as a freelance doctor, working all over Norway he has gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague our modern society

EPISODE 179 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on releasing “stuck” trauma that holds you back from achieving your full potential and living a fulfilled life of purpose. I talk with author, award winning Spiritual Psychology Coach, Leading Edge Healer, CEO, and Momma, Lainne Love. Lainne posits that when trauma gets stuck in our bodies it causes dis”ease” which further stresses the body, resulting in more rapid aging. To counteract these inhibiting thoughts, trauma work may reduce stress and release bottled up emotions. Lainne roots her therapeutic processes in Universal Law and Metaphysics, informed by spiritual psychology and neuroscience, and supported with subconscious reprogramming and energetic insights. Lainne is the author of “How To Use Hypnosis to Master Your Brain”, and co-editor and contributor to the multi-author book, “A Bigger Mission.”

'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.

'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.

He offers his free eBook: https://drfit2017.ac-page.com/free-give-away-from-defeat-diabetes   

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

'You got to just move. It doesn’t matter how efficient your movements are, what matters is that you are moving.' (Susan Bock Smith)

Susan Bock Smith earned a Bachelor of Education with a Major in Physical Education from McGill University and taught Elementary Physical  Education prior to raising her family. She is FallProof certified (California State Fullerton)  as a Fall Prevention Balance & Mobility Specialist. Through Surefeet, founded to deliver Seniors' Balance & Mobility Training, she has instructed over 4300 Balance & Mobility classes to over 3900 registrants. She is a PWR!Moves (Parkinsons' Disease) Certified Instructor and a certified Urban Poling (Nordic Walking) Instructor. Susan combines cognitive activities with physical exercise as a staple of the Surefeet program. Her mission is to reduce the fall risk of Seniors and enhance well-being, quality of life and independent living ability 

Judy Bjornson received her FallProof Balance & Mobility Specialist certification from California State University in 2010 and has been a Surefeet co-owner, trainer and educator since, She is a Certified PWR!Moves Instructor and an Aquatic Rehabilitation Specialist. Judy is a Certified Master Trainer for WaterART Fitness International, teachesl aquatic certifications and one of two WaterART specialists in Central/Western Canada qualified to administer WaterART Certification examinations. Judy was selected as Program Coordinator to head the Brain Gain program of the Vancouver Brain Injury Association. Judy strives to positively affect the lives of all those she encounters.

Susan and Judy suggest that though balance, strength and flexibility decline as we grow older, if you’re willing to learn and adjust, you can protect your body from the risk of falling that increases with advancing age. Adversities may limit our abilities but if we’re willing to learn and adjust we can continue to do what we love. So constantly challenge yourself, never tell yourself that you’re too old to do anything

THIS EPISODE OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on the importance of the complete orchestra of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, trace elements and phytonutrients) in supporting brain health and optimizing cognitive function. Whether omega-3 fatty acids and B-vitamins or antioxidants such as carotenoids and anthocyanins from colourful fruits and vegetables, we discuss the science supporting their role in enhancing memory, improving focus, and promoting overall brain vitality. And naturally this same complete micronutrient orchestra is equally important to support overall metabolism for optimal wellness and energy.

Today’s Featured Expert is Bonnie Kaplan, PhD. Professor Emerita at the University of Calgary, and co-author, with Julia Rucklidge, of The Better Brain: Overcome Anxiety, Combat Depression and Reduce ADHD and Stress with Nutrition.

In today’s conversation I talk with Frances 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.”

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.

'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.

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.

Your host, Dr. Gillian Lockitch, talks with Troy Taylor, Senior Director of Performance Innovation at Tonal, to discuss the importance of strength training for aging well. Troy emphasizes the benefits of consistent, progressive overload in resistance training, noting that it can improve muscle mass, strength, and bone density at any age. He highlights that strength training can also enhance cognitive function and glucose homeostasis. Troy addresses common misconceptions, such as the danger of resistance training and the belief that it's too late to start. He recommends starting with small, manageable exercises and gradually increasing intensity. Troy also discusses the role of proper nutrition, particularly protein, in supporting strength training goals.

In EPISODE 164 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER with Dr. Samantha Wellapilli, we discuss the limitations of conventional medicine in addressing mental health issues and the need for a more comprehensive approach incorporating spiritual practices and connection with community. We explore the intersections of personal responsibility, spirituality, stress eating, and healthy habits, highlighting the connection between stress, sleep and habits, and the importance of making conscious choices for positive changes in overall health. 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.

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 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.

 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.

“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.

EPISODE 172 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on aging gracefully and the wisdom we acquire through a life well lived. Most people would agree that the most powerful factor in aging well is a positive mindset, the absolute belief that you can age youthfully and in good health. Imagine having a treasure trove of examples of resilience, positivity and insight at your fingertips for inspiration. In today's episode, I talk to Skye Bergman about her book, “Lives Well Lived - Generations”, in which she celebrates the stories of 40 older adults with a collective life experience of 3000 years. Their stories were first featured in her PBS documentary Lives Well Lived.  Skye Bergman is a professor emerita of photography and video at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Her artwork is in prestigious museum collections, and her commercial work has appeared in renowned magazines such as The Smithsonian. Following her 30 year teaching career, Sky's passion is creating films and projects that inspire intergenerational connections through emphasizing the power of shared stories. Following airing of her documentary, she curated her book to share the wisdom from the film. The life stories highlight purpose, connection, the art of thriving through life's up and downs, and celebrating life's essence across generations.

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.

My guest, Cathy Derksen, helps people  share their own inspiring stories by guiding them from chapter concept to publication.

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.

"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..

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.

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.

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.

In EPISODE 202 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER  host Gillian Lockitch, and Jeff Golden discuss the complex relationship between happiness, health, and longevity, emphasizing that materialism does not enhance well-being. Despite economic growth, happiness levels have declined since the 1940s.

Two years ago, in episode 136 I first spoke with Jeff Golden, author of Reclaiming the Sacred: Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the World, which won the Grand Prize at the Nautilus Book Awards. Since then, the world has continued to change in ways that affect our emotional, social, and even physical health.

Today, Jeff joins me again to reflect on what has shifted in the past two years—both in the world and in his own perspective—and to share new insights on how we can cultivate happiness, connection, and purpose as we age.Golden highlights the importance of inner factors like self-worth and relationships over material possessions. He advocates for personal development, meditation, and gratitude practices to cultivate fulfillment. I share my experience with a personal development program that helps recognize and overcome negative self-judgments. Both of us stress the need for self-nourishment and the ripple effects of personal happiness on societal well-being.

'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.

 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

 11:32 Surviving WWII as a young Jewish girl, reuniting with her father after 3.5 years, and immigrating to America.

  22:00 Insights  on living with purpose, keeping busy and constantly challenging one’s assumptions to keep youthful

  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.

 ‘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 idea is to die young as late as possible." (Ashley Montague)

"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.

 The majority of my guests concur that dieting is not an effective tool for weight loss if your goal is get to a sustainable target weight while maintaining a healthy body composition. I agree and that is why I consider how, when and what I eat, to be a lifestyle rather than a diet.
My guest today, top-selling author and speaker, David Medansky, is known as the Diet Contrarian because as he puts it “being on a diet is frustrating and it sucks”. David identifies 9 Golden Rules of living a healthy life to lose weight without going on a diet and now helps others build new eating habits.
