Kevin and Dr. Nocera join us to discuss how exercise positively affects our physical and cognitive health, how Vivo is treating the brain like any other muscle in the body, what dual tasking is, and more. “Walking is almost automatic until we start to age and then it becomes a little more of a challenge and it becomes a little more variable; and if it’s a little more variable it introduces fall risk.” “We know that we can improve the physical functioning profile of pretty much anybody whether they’re in a disease state or they're aging healthily but we can also really impact brain health with exercise.” “Older adults think of loss of function as a normal part of this process and it really isn’t, it shouldn't be… If we think about loss of function as a normal part of the process, we’re kind of giving up. And what I want to do is show people that we can get back a lot of what we lost.” “We have no way to predict who’s going to fall. Our number one predictor of falls is a previous fall and that doesn’t do anyone any good.”Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Say hi to the AGEIST team!

We slowly but surely throughout the lifespan, through environmental factors, lifestyle factors, genetic factors, etc. can gain weight.” “The average woman over the age of 45, 45% of us are obese; not overweight.” “When you can personalize the care that you’re offering and giving those specific, actionable routes, I do think that it creates this opportunity to carry that forward on their own terms.” “Maybe the Groupon versions of semaglutide are promoting shot only but I would imagine that even they are not.

So you have options in terms of how you want to live and age well, whatever that means to you.” “Science is not a religion. It is not a monolith, it is not unchanging and unmoving. That is not what science is. Science is a process of inquiry. Period. End of sentence.”“There’s actually quite a bit of data on the potential health benefits of estrogen specifically in all of us and in breast cancer survivors.” “The vast majority of us who are diagnosed with breast cancer are going to be diagnosed at early stages. The vast majority of those of us diagnosed with breast cancer are going to die of: breast cancer or heart disease? Heart disease!” “The number one tool for healthy aging is lifestyle. That’s always the best. Exercise, movement, getting the blood flowing, staying flexible, mindset – it’s really not rocket science.”“One of the great things as we age, if we have community, we have support, we have tools, is we start to settle more into who we are and start to appreciate that.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz:WebsiteInstagramTwitterFacebookLinkedInYouTubeSay hi to the AGEIST team!

But also, we haven’t answered some of the questions like: Are you going to still stay married to the same person for 130 years? Unlikely, I think. Are you going to still have the same occupation? Will you have your dream occupation? Will you run out of money?”“Entertainment is going to be very, very important. I know it’s adorable that we go to a movie theater but we can probably watch something that’s on a lens in our eye. We’re going to be able to go to the Metaverse with a lens that’s in our eye.” “There may be time travel before we have a flying car. We may be able to move our molecules through space before we have a flying car. It’s much more efficient.” “If somebody else can do it as well as you can do it, let them do it… And then you can either make it a little better, make it a little different, or do something else that they can’t do.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Faith Popcorn:WebsiteInstagramFacebookSay hi to the AGEIST team!

Scott is a Professor of Economics at London Business School having previously held positions at Oxford University, London School of Economics and Harvard University. His work focuses on the economics of longevity and he is the co-author of The 100-Year Life and The New Long Life.Andrew joins us to discuss the economic implications of living longer, how we need to change the way we are aging, what retirement will look like in the future, the assets that we should be investing in, and more. “What we need to do is to change how we age. We need to age better. Rather than focusing on, ‘Oh, there are more old people,’ I think we need to focus on, actually, given the phenomenal increase in life expectancy that has happened, we need to change how we age.”“We haven’t really expected to reach into those older ages in the past. Of course, there have always been old people but it’s been a minority living to 80 or 90. But if you look at the data today in most rich countries, it’s the majority who will be living to 80 or 90. So, we need to age better and behave differently.” “You’ve got more time ahead of you. Whether you’re 20, 50, or 80, you have more time ahead of you than past 20-year-olds, 50-year-olds, or 80-year-olds. So you have to invest more into your future. You just have a greater incentive to do it.” “The challenge you’ve got with a longer life is how to finance it.”Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Andrew Scott:WebsiteLinkedInBooks: The 100-Year Life & The New Long LifeSay hi to the AGEIST team!

He joins us to discuss circadian rhythm, what time we should eat, exercise, work, and sleep, how age impacts circadian rhythms, and more. “Circadian rhythm is essentially the master plan that is already written into our DNA in every cell and if we follow this timetable then we can live a few years longer.” “We are designed to eat more carbohydrates in the first half of the day, not in the second half of our day or late into the night.”“Our bodies are programmed with this timetable and we just have to follow it.”  “For people who are trying to control their blood pressure, who are trying to control their blood sugar with exercise, afternoon exercise tends to be more effective in reducing blood pressure and also controlling blood glucose much better than the identical exercise done in the morning.”“Caffeine has a huge impact on sleep.”“As we age, our circadian rhythm dampens; so that means our body actually doesn’t have the right timing cue for when to do what.”“Try to go to bed at a habitual, fixed time and then stay in bed for at least 8 hours because when you stay in bed for 8 hours then you get at least 7 hours of restorative sleep.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Dr. Satchin Panda:TwitterInstagramBookSay hi to the AGEIST team!

It’s because I know that by saving mobility, whether I save your knee, whether I make your shoulder not hurt, any of the things we do, by saving your mobility I’m actually saving you from the ravages of chronic disease.” “What people don’t realize, because we’re talking mostly about hot flashes, and brain fog, and sleep disturbances, is that the muscular-skeletal effects of losing your estrogen are profound and permanent.” “80% of all women in midlife, as their hormones fluctuate, have muscular-skeletal pain and 25% have such severe pain it’s disabling.”“When people fall down — usually in the 70s, both men and women — and break their hip, 50% of men and women do not return to pre-fall function and 30% of men die.” “There is clear data that lifting heavy is what will maintain your power and as we age that’s what we need.”“I find that being in a state of peak performance is having the faith to believe that we can do something that we cannot see.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Connect with Vonda:WebsiteInstagramLinkedIn TwitterEmail: vonda@vondawright.comSay hi to the AGEIST team!

You’re alive. The alternative to aging is not being alive so, right away, gratitude. We’re doing alright. We’re still in the game.” “Purpose does not come from passion; passion comes from purpose. Think about how you can help other people; maybe they’re people close to you, maybe they’re people far away.” “You need a gang. Life is a social activity, and filling our lives with people that we care about, with people that care about us — you don’t need a lot but you need that core group. If you don’t have that, become a joiner, say yes, see what you can do about upping your posse value.” “Get up in the morning, look in the mirror, and you say to yourself, ‘I am an athlete’ no matter what condition your body is in, and then behave as an athlete would behave.” “40% reduction in all-cause mortality if you sit in a sauna that’s at least 170 degrees for 20 minutes 3 times a week. There are very few things you can do with that amount of time that has that level of effect.” “We can do incredible things at this age.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Say hi to the AGEIST team!

Dial in Your Sleep, Save Your Relationship: Wendy Troxel

Sleep in the real world is often messy and noisy, and really for most people, shared. In fact, two-thirds of adults regularly share a bed with a bed partner.”“We can’t neglect to consider the social environment when we think about risk factors for sleep as well as who is affected by our sleep.” “Sleep itself is a highly active and dynamic state; it is not just one solitary state through the night like a light switch going off.”“Sleep is critically important for our cognitive function, our memory. Sleep loss is associated with cognitive decline, even increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease. We know it affects our concentration, our productivity, our ability to problem solve. Sleep is also profoundly linked with our mental health and our wellbeing.” “Women are twice as likely to have insomnia as compared to men.” “Because there’s so much stigma attached to the marital bed, there’s just the assumption that all couples, from the time they fall in love and are together, their sleep habits should be perfectly compatible; and that’s not always the case.”“There is not a one-size-fits-all sleeping strategy for all couples, and the more we subscribe to this belief, the more we’re pigeonholing people and couples into strategies that may not work best for them.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Wendy:WebsiteSharing the Covers: Every Couple’s Guide to Better SleepSay hi to the AGEIST team!
