137. Total Body and Mindset Transformation at 65 - Susan Guidi
Get ready to laugh and be inspired with my next guest Susan Guidi. We met in my live podcast interview with Joan McDonald who in her 70s transformed her body, her health and her life. And Susan is a friend of Joan's who joined us in that interview. We immediately hit it off and she has her own story of transformation in her 60s that we share today. And I guarantee, you will be inspired. The reason I invited Susan on the podcast is because she is someone just like you and me. During the pandemic, like so many, she fell into unhealthy habits, gained a ton of weight, was not happy with her body and decided she had to do something about it. She luckily found Joan, got to work in bodybuilding and won some great competitions like the 50 Figure division (when she was 65) showing that we can do anything at any age. Susan is now 66. Bodybuilding is her new love, but she is also an entrepreneur in obstetrics and gynecology and…. a comedian. When she isn't performing ultrasounds she is performing on Zoom and in person with her Improv troupe "The Improvaholics." But Susan's true love is inspiring women to take a chance and believe in themselves again. This episode is sponsored by Oxford Healthspan. The makers of my favorite spermidine supplement Primeadine.

135. A Novel Way To Cure Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia Without Medication - Kelly Canueto
Today we are having a casual conversation with someone who I find very inspiring in her own experience with chronic pain. We are meeting Kelly Canueto who has an incredible story of chronic pain. Kelly is from the UK. She is 52 years old and lives in the south of Spain. In her 20s she started to have chronic pain, which developed into chronic fatigue syndrome, which is also known as fibromyalgia. And she lived with all this pain and suffering for 18 years. Six years ago, she found her way out of it, without medication, and is now running races and leading a very active and full life. Literally, catching up on the last 18 years at full speed. 4 Essential books to read Healing Back Pain by Dr. Sarno Chronic Pain: Your Key to Recovery by Georgie Oldfield The Way Out by Alan Gordon The Great Pain Deception by Steve Ozanich Podcasts Tell Me About Your Pain The Mind & Fitness Podcast Like Mind Like Body How To Heal Chronic Pain with Dr Howard Schubiner App Curable YouTube Healing Chronic Pain – Jim Prussak PT TMS Healing Wall of Victory - Testimonial Block #18 - Rebecca Pattinson Steve Ozanich TMS Whisperer Back Pain Permanent Healing by Steven Ray Ozanich Dr John E Sarno 20/20 with Barbara Walters Dr Sarno's 12 Day Reminders Breakthrough with Healing Chronic Pain – Howard Schubiner Healing Yourself Documentary This Might Hurt with Dr Howard Schubiner UK Physio Steve Robson Join the Hack My Age community on: Facebook Page : http://facebook.com/hackmyage Facebook Group: Biohacking Menopause https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingwomen50 Instagram: http://instagram.com/hackmyage Website: http://www.hackmyage.com Hack My Age VIP Group: http://patreon.com/hackmyage Email: zora@hackmyage.com Newsletter: http://www.hackmyage.com/newsletter This podcast is edited by jonathanjk.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hackmyage/support

134. Overcoming Low Libido in Midlife - Dr Lyndsey Harper
Today we talk to a doctor about sexual health and libido. It's the conversation you always wished you had with your doctor, but maybe too shy to have. But Dr. Lyndsey Harper isn't any kind of doctor. She is an Ob/Gyn (that means she is a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology…delivering babies and seeing a lot of female patients talking about their reproductive health). But she is a doctor with a passion for educating women about sex, desire and sexual health. She was so frustrated as a doctor when she couldn't find a modern and accessible resource to help her patients with problems of low libido and other sex issues, that she decided to create something herself. And that's an app called ROSY, which connects 84 million women in the US with sexual problems with hope, community, and research-backed solutions to improve their lives. So, we are going to first talk about the issues of low desire and then the solutions. For the last 7 years Dr. Harper has been in private practice in Dallas, Texas and is also a hospitalist, meaning she sees patients in hospitals too. But she doesn't stop there. Dr. Harper is an Associate Professor of Ob/Gyn for Texas A&M College of Medicine, a Fellow of The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. So, I think she is someone pretty well qualified to talk about women's health, don't you think?

132. Women Surviving Alzheimers, True Stories & How To Prevent Dementia- Dr. Dale Bredesen
Dr. Dale Bredesen is not only intelligent, talented and someone who can think unconventionally, but someone who is also kind, humble and can express very complex systems in terms we can all understand. Today we learn more about his groundbreaking research in dementia. It was an honor to have Dr. Bredesen on the podcast back in 2021 and now a double honor to have him on for a second time to discuss one of his most recent books The First Survivors of Alzheimers. Dr. Dale Bredesen is a scientist, a researcher and an expert in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease. He published over 200 papers, which many of them you can find in a pubmed search. In 2017 he wrote a groundbreaking book and New York Times bestseller called : The End of Alzheimer's and then several years later wrote a follow up book: The End of Alzheimer's Program (2020). And last year he wrote "The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words". Dr. Bredesen is a professor at UCLA, but he's also taught at UC San Francisco, and the University of California San Diego. He directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before going to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. Most doctors and experts in this field say there is no cure for Alzheimer's. But Dr. Bredesen blatantly says that Alzheimer's is absolutely reversible and preventable. He is going against the grain with his research, which he has been working on for decades. He's been consulting patients who have been told by their doctors to get their affairs in order before they die, because there is nothing they can do to help them. But now, Dr. Bredesen is not only giving these people hope, but actually a future they can look forward to. This episode is sponsored by Oxford Healthspan.
