Tim Church, MD. Why Exercise is the Only Way Fitness Friday Series, The Not Old Better Show Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #370. Our show today is part of our Fitness Friday series, and it's another great one in our Fitness Friday programs. We all know we should exercise. But few realize that being physically active is the single most important thing that most of us can do to improve or maintain our health. Regular movement not only lowers the risk of developing or dying from heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, it also prevents certain cancers, improves mood, builds bones, strengthens muscles, expands lung capacity, reduces the risk of falls and fractures, and helps keep excess weight in check. And those are just some of the more familiar effects. But, it's that last one that really grabs everyone's attention: Weight Loss. By only focusing on weight loss, we're downplaying everything else. According to our guest today, Dr. Tim Church, get moving first, then focus on nutrition, cardio, weight resistance and tracking it all. Tim Church, M.D., M.P.H, Ph.D., is one of the country's leading physicians in exercise and obesity research. As an author of over 200 research articles, Dr. Church has received numerous awards for his research in preventative health. Unlike many popular fitness books, "Move Yourself," advocates engaging in pure activity, not an exercise plan. Dr. Church resides in Dallas, is a two-time finisher of Ironman distance triathlons and currently is a purple belt in Jui Jitsui. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show via internet phone, Dr. Tim Church.

Apollo At 50 - Teasel Muir-Harmony The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Science Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #368. As part of our Smithsonian Associates Inside Science Interview series, we are joined today by scientist, author, explorer, Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony. Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony will be appearing at the Smithsonian Associates program, July 10, 2019, and the title of her presentation is Apollo at 50: A History in Artifacts. With those words, Neil Armstrong uttered what would become one of history's most famous one liners. Our Not Old Better Show audience, many of whom listened in from earth as Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission was on the landing site of the moon. The entire Project Apollo ranks among the most bold and challenging undertakings of the 20th century. Within less than a decade, the United States leapt from suborbital spaceflight to landing humans on the moon and returning them safely back to Earth. Hundreds of thousands of people helped make these missions possible, while billions more around the world followed the flights. Fifty years after the first lunar landing, our guest today, Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony, curator of Apollo spacecraft at the Air and Space Museum, reassesses the history of Project Apollo through the most evocative objects of the Space Age. The material legacy of the Project Apollo missions is immense—with thousands of artifacts from capsules to spacesuits to the ephemera of life aboard a spacecraft represented in the Smithsonian's collections. Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony examines artifacts and the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum collections that highlight how Project Apollo touched people's lives, both within the space program and around the world, from the Wright Bros. at Kitty Hawk to Neil Armstrong at Tranquility Base. More than space hardware alone, the objects Dr Muir-Harmony features reflect the deep interconnection between Project Apollo and broader developments in American society, politics and life. That, of course, that was our guest today, Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony's reading from her new book, Apollo to the Moon: A History in 50 Objects (National Geographic) is available for sale and signing.

Dorothy Butler Gilliam - Trailblazer Journalist Smithsonian Associates Art of Living Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #367. As part of our Smithsonian Associates HerStory author Interview series, we are joined today by author, journalist, visionary leader, Dorothy Butler Gilliam. Dorothy Butler Gilliam will be appearing at the Smithsonian Associates program, July 9, 2019, and the title of her presentation is Getting the Story Right Dorothy Gilliam is that most rare of revolutionaries, one who not only climbs the barricades, but lets down a ladder to help others up, too. In her more than six decades at the centers of journalism in New York and Washington, she has often been the first African American woman and the best of everything. Her memoir shows us that a few can be both, but no one should have to. "We will have no democracy until each of us can be our unique individual selves." that's according to Gloria Steinem. I found Dorothy Butler Gilliam to be candid, with quiet strength, elegance, a visionary leader, and an honored journalist. Dorothy Butler Gilliam's inspirational life story, in her new memoir, which we'll hear her read from in just a moment, is the journey of a daughter of the South who became a pioneering black woman journalist, an influential voice in the pages of The 1961 Washington Post, a national leader of the movement to foster diversity in the news media, and a dedicated mentor of countless aspiring young journalists. It is also the story of her role in a remarkable era of growth and influence of JFK, MLK, civil rights movement, and many other changes, all of which made for Dorothy Butler Gilliam's writing and storytelling, inside a leading American newspaper, now evolving in the digital age.

We'll be speaking with both, but first our Fitness Friday News… What's worse than losing your life? Losing a few bucks, apparently. According to research conducted by the American Heart Association, threatening coronary-heart-disease patients with money loss could help motivate them to exercise more, according to new research published Journal of the American Heart Association. Creating financial motivation for healthy behavior isn't a brand-new concept. Insurance companies, for example, already use financial rewards programs to encourage folks to move more.

Jonathan Weinberg's career also includes a management role at Radio Shacks and a near-death experience directly below the airplane impact zone in the South Tower of the World Trade Center, I'll put up a link to Jonathan's account of his very real 9/11 experience, which is eerie because I was in Philadelphia, on that day and remember well the pandemonium. Back to Jonathan Weinberg, the idea to start AutoSlash came from his mother in Florida, who thought there was a business in all of the auto rental rate sleuthing he did before visiting her. Today, AutoSlash is a website dedicated to saving people money on car rentals, but they now offer hotel services, too. AutoSlash is the only site that applies the best coupons/discounts from AAA, AARP, and many others, and then tracks rental price changes right up until the pickup date, and re-books users to capture these savings automatically—ALL FOR FREE! I had the chance to ask one of the utmost experts, AutoSlash CEO Jonathan Weinberg, some questions about car rentals and the car rental industry. You guys know that I am far from an expert on this subject so I was very excited that he was willing to help out.

The Science of Breaking Bad - Interview with Science Advisor, Dr. Donna Nelson Inside Science, Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Inside Science Series, I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #363. When you hear the name "Walter White," of course, the anti-hero of "Breaking Bad" (played by Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston), you likely recall the show's emphasis on science, as Walter White is a scientist and high school chemistry teacher. During the course of five seasons of 'Breaking Bad," Walter White practiced a lot of ad-hoc chemistry—from experiments that explode to acid-based evidence destruction to an amazing repertoire of methodologies for illicit meth-making. But how much of his science is actually scientific? As part of our Smithsonian Associates Inside Science & Technology series, we are joined today by Dr. Donna Nelson, who also worked on "Breaking Bad" and who played an important off-camera role on the show, that of official science advisor, which served as a professional opportunity to bring science into focus within the context of a wildly popular television series. In her role as science advisor to the series, Dr. Donna Nelson, a professor of chemistry at the University of Oklahoma, explained, analyzed, and evaluated the show's portrayal of science, beginning near the end of season 1. The intent was not, of course, to provide a how-to manual for wannabe meth moguls, but to decode the show's most head-turning, jaw-dropping moments—and make sure they were scientifically accurate. Nelson discusses the show's portrayal of chemistry, biology, physics, and subdivisions of each area including toxicology and electromagnetism, as well how she became involved in the show and some of the unusual questions posed to her. Dr. Donna Nelson's presentation, The Science of "Breaking Bad": Behind the Scenes With the Show's Science Advisor, will be Tuesday, June 25, 2019. Dr. Nelson's presentation will draw from her new book, The Science of Breaking Bad, which she co-authored, and which will be available for sale and signing. Join me for a fascinating discussion with Dr. Donna Nelson, who'll add important, behind-the-scenes color about what it was like to work with the creator and writers of "Breaking Bad." Please welcome to The Not Old Better Show, via internet phone, chemist, scientist, educator, Dr. Donna Nelson.
