She discusses what an annuity is, how to find peace of mind around your finances, how to not outlive your money, and more. “Think of those folks who are approaching retirement and they’ve got that family history of longevity, they’re in excellent health, they’re likely to experience that above average longevity or life expectancy. If they haven’t saved enough to achieve their retirement spending goal but they’re looking to maximize their income, however long that may be, those are excellent candidates for an annuity.” “The connection between peace of mind and secure income or that protected lifetime income was so strong across all investors.” “Our dreams of retiring at 65 might now be 80, in order to make your funds last until 120.” “Write down a list of everybody that you talk to on a weekly basis, now go through and cross out every one of those that are people you work with. Our list gets really small. What is our purpose in that next phase?” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Kate:LinkedInDisclaimer:  The views depicted in this material are for information purposes only and are not necessarily those of Capital Group/American Funds.

He joins us to discuss inflammaging, senescence, the impact of rapamycin on vaccine efficacy, the #1 thing we should avoid to protect our DNA, and more. “We’re losing our ability to respond to new challenges as we progress through time.” “When they gave the elderly a version of rapamycin and then gave them an annual influenza vaccination, they made 20% more antibodies against influenza, and the immune cells or T cells showed reduced markers of exhaustion.” “If you take old mice, the equivalent of an elderly individual, and then put them on fisetin, just supplemented in the chow, it made them live a little bit longer but it also reduced their senescent cell burden and many markers of pathology in their tissues, or improved some of their physiological function.” “As our bodies age, all our tissues are aging at different times and different rates.”“By and large, the things that we can affect in our everyday life are things like diet and exercise. We also know, too, that chronic stress has been shown to shorten life, social stress has been shown to shorten the lifespan of mice. We even see that social stress can have an impact on our immune function.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Connect with Matt & resources mentioned:Matt's LinkedInAmerican Aging AssociationThe Gerontological Society of America Say hi to the AGEIST team!

The question is how do we look at it from the perspective of growth rather than suffering, and if we can look at it from the perspective of growth then we can actually change the outcome of the situation.” “Touch is free; we can apply it to ourselves, we can apply it to each other. It doesn’t require a lot of skill. It does require a positive intention that is a sharing of kindness, affection, human interaction.” “Holding hands, getting a hug, these kinds of sensations are potently activating the parasympathetic nervous system so they dramatically calm the body. And they can do it within seconds without effort by the person receiving the hug or receiving the hand hold.” “We think about stress as sometimes being positive, helping us grow; and sometimes being negative, and hurting our performance and our recovery. “This is really the first of the gen-3 wearables that are wearables that actually change the body. And it’s the first one to use sound in a scientifically validated way to change the body, change the way we feel, and improve our ability to sleep and focus and recover from stress.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Say hi to the AGEIST team!

Bryan Johnson: My Quest for the Optimized Human Body

Johnson sold his company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal for $800m in 2013. Since then, he's been investing millions to slow and reverse his aging. In 2021, he set a World Record by reducing his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months. His program Project Blueprint is an endeavor to help people take better care of themselves. Bryan Johnson discusses how he went from physically unwell to where he is today, aging slower than a 10 year old, his current protocol and Project Blueprint, our normalized destructive behaviors, how he “fired” himself for the sake of his health, his skin health routine, the future of technology, and more. “Wouldn’t it be possible for you and I to have an imagination of ourselves if we said ‘Okay, David, what are you and I in 20 years?’ What if we could assume better instead of inevitable decay? How would that change the way we approach life, work with each other, deal with each other, what effect would it have on humanity?” “Could I build an algorithm that would take better care of me than I could myself and could we attach ourselves to the progress curves of technology and science so that you and I can say ‘What do you and I look like in 20 years? We don’t know, but better.’” “I just want an algorithm to take care of my health and wellness, I know my own mind, if I give my own mind the smallest opportunity to make a decision, it’s going to make the wrong decision every single time. I just cannot trust myself, I know this.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Bryan Johnson:Project Blueprint InstagramTwitterLinkedInSay hi to the AGEIST team!

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.

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!

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.

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!
