High Blood Pressure Alternative Treatments - Scott Sones The Not Old Better Healthy Start Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang and we've got a great interview with CEO, Scott Sones. Today's show is brought to you by Raycon Everyday Earbuds. Scott Sones is CEO of BP-RX, and we're talking high blood pressure, high blood pressure medication alternatives, what to do about it if you have high blood pressure, and how to help understand new treatments for getting your high blood pressure under control. Scott Sones will discuss new powerful anti-aging benefits which significantly increase Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and will do so at higher than any pharmaceutical or nutritional. SOD is the body's most powerful endogenous antioxidant – thought to be 3500 times stronger as an antioxidant than vitamin C (Green tea is 100 times stronger). As one ages, the body produces less SOD - which can lead to oxidative stress, inflammation, and disease. Research conducted by Richard Cutler Ph.D. shows that mammals, including humans, that produce higher levels of SOD live longer more disease-free lives. Using a synergistic blend of 3 clinically validated herbs, BP-RX is able to accomplish what few, if any, presently available products are able to accomplish. According to the American Heart Association (2017), there are 140 million adults in the US with high blood pressure. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control has predicted that 90% of US adults 55 years and older, will develop high blood pressure in their lifetimes. The American Heart Association statistics (2017) show 98 million adults have high cholesterol. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, CEO Scott Sones.

Exercise is known to be safe and helpful for cancer survivors during and after treatment, and oncologists and their teams continue to recommend it for their patients. Recent research studies point to many specific benefits of exercise. Some show it significantly improves cancer-related fatigue compared to medications and that it can help improve survival for some advanced cancers, including metastatic colorectal cancer. Research also shows the long-term benefits of increased exercise and a healthy lifestyle after cancer to reduce other diseases, as well as the benefits of higher intensity exercise. Sami will share why exercise and activity is so crucial during cancer. Why functional fitness is so important to cancer survival. Nutrition and hydration tips for treating cancer. Involving family, and how you can do this in a way that really helps you to get the outcomes that you want and also do it in a way that is safe and is really going to make you feel better over the long-term, even living beyond cancer.

Gwen Lafleur - Creativity and the Aging Brain Smithsonian Associates, The Not Old Better Show Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang and today's show will be enjoyed by all, especially if you enjoy creativity, are yourself creative, or viewing the arts and creativity. Arts positive effects on aging, both for the creator and viewer will rock your soul. Experts from around the world cite research on how creative endeavors — storytelling and singing, weaving and dancing, and painting and poetry — make people's lives better as they grow older and deal with the challenges of aging. So great to be with you today, and again welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living interview series, we have an excellent interview with mixed media artist Gwen Lafleur, and we're talking about art today. It is well known that therapeutic art experiences can supply meaning and purpose to the lives of older adults in supportive, nonthreatening ways. Neurological research shows that making art can improve cognitive functions by producing both new neural pathways and thicker, stronger dendrites. Recent clinical research validates what some professionals and others who work with older adults have known for years—that making art is an essential, vital component of activities that offer a wide range of health benefits. Several studies show that art can reduce the depression and anxiety that are often symptomatic of chronic diseases. Other research demonstrates that the imagination and creativity of older adults can flourish in later life, helping them to realize unique, unlived potentials, even when suffering from Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Neurological research shows that making art can improve cognitive functions by producing both new neural pathways and while brains inevitably age, creative abilities do not necessarily deteriorate. Actually, the aging brain responds well to art by allowing the brain's two hemispheres to work more in tandem. This ability to use one's creativity throughout a lifetime and the impact of crystallized intelligence gained from the years of accumulated knowledge and life experiences, help to cultivate the aging, creative brain. Experts in the field of aging recognize and applaud the importance of both creating art as well as viewing it. Today's guest, Gwen Lafleur is an artist, instructor and will attest to the significance of expressive art activities. We'll talk about creating art, learning about art, Gwen Lafleur's artistic journey and all the benefits that come as an artist and as someone appreciative of art and the joy that art offers.

A feminist icon, political activist, and international literary superstar, she inspired writers from Emily Dickinson to George Eliot, Oscar Wilde, and Virginia Woolf. That of course is our guest today, author Fiona Sampson, reading from her new book: 'Two Way Mirror,' the Life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

The Science of CBD - Dr. Steven Grant The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on KSCW. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Smithsonian Associates Science Makes Us Safer series, our guest today is Dr. Steven Grant. Dr. Steven Grant is a neuroscientist and is formerly the Senior Program Officer at the National Institute on Drug Abuse at the National Institutes of Health, and we'll be examining today what the research on cannabidiol, or CBD, —and more importantly — what the science has discovered about this elusive chemical's potential benefits for chronic pain and the potential risks. Pain can be physical. It can also be emotional. And we're going to talk about physical pain on today's show on KSCW and we're going to discuss the science of CBD, and how CBD can help with the pain. People with chronic pain are increasingly turning to cannabis or CBD, which is an ingredient in marijuana and hemp that does not produce a high). In 2020, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), reviewed hundreds of studies and published The Role of Cannabidiol (CBD) in Chronic Pain Management, and found substantial evidence for its use in chronic pain. Additionally, the NIH found that cannabis and CBD can be helpful and relatively safe for older adults. I'll put citations to these studies in the notes today on our website. But, CBD may cause dizziness or confusion in high doses, affect blood pressure and heart rate, and interact with medications such as blood thinners and anti-seizure drugs. If you want to try CBD for pain, be sure to tell your primary care provider and "start low and go slow." Your primary care provider can help with finding the right dose that helps your symptoms. Of the more than 100 related chemicals found in cannabis plants, cannabidiol (CBD) has become almost as well-known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), seemingly overnight. Now widely available in retail stores and websites, it has suddenly emerged as a popular consumer product. But, despite the claims and even some research, it has been difficult to demonstrate exactly what CBD does. It neither produces a high like THC nor does it have the same biological actions. And although promoted as a remedy for a wide variety of conditions, only one CBD product has received FDA approval—for the treatment of a specific type of severe childhood epilepsy. Much remains unknown about the effects, mechanism, long-term consequences, and legality of CBD, and we'll talk to Dr. Steven Grant about all that and more, so please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on KSCW, Dr. Steven Grant.

Paul McCartney who wrote the song, described the song 'Get Back" as a commentary about immigration, telling people to "get back" to their own countries.

CNN's David Andelman - post COVID, Heat Waves in Pacific Northwest, Putin, and Ukraine The Not Old Better Show, Issues Briefing Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang and as part of our Newsmaker Briefing Interview Series, our guest today is David Andelman. David A. Andelman is a veteran foreign correspondent for CNN News, author, and commentator who contributes frequently to CNN on global affairs. A member of the Board of Contributors of USA Today, David Andelman served for more than seven years as Editor & Publisher of World Policy Journal. David Andelman was executive editor of Forbes.com; a domestic and foreign correspondent for The New York Times in New York, Southeast Asia bureau chief, based in Bangkok, and East European bureau chief, based in Belgrade. David Andelman then moved to CBS News where he served for seven years as a Paris correspondent. Andelman followed as a Washington correspondent for CNBC, news editor of Bloomberg News, and Business Editor of the New York Daily News. In the course of his career, he has traveled through and reported from more than 85 countries. Interestingly, David A. Andelman has joined the Center on National Security as a visiting scholar and director of its Red Lines Project. The project's conception arose from President Barack Obama's failure to enforce a red line in Syria when the dictator Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons on his own people, killing more than 1,400. Obama's cabinet disagreed strongly with his decision to walk away from the red line without military action to remove al-Assad from power. David Andelman has that mindset, as does the Red Lines Project, as we try to better understand this very important global security issue, we need to do so right now. This will be a fascinating interview and we'll talk about the Red Lines Project, cyber-security, the world in a post-pandemic state, Biden, Putin, and heart health. You'll love this interview.
