Episode notes

As we become more risk averse, fear levels increase. The two halves of the brain start talking together, each other and working together like never before in our 50s. This is why the idea that you can't teach an old dog new tricks is actually totally wrong. To hang on to these intellectual benefits, you get in their 50s and 60s and beyond, you have to train against physical fragility. It turns out old dogs are better learning certain kinds of tricks than young dogs.

In this episode, Steven and Peter discuss the importance of a positive mindset in order to live longer, the science behind aging, and the effects of different mindsets on healthspan.
