How can people 50+ benefit from rapidly advancing technology? How will the metaverse and Web3 change our work lives? What about how we connect with our communities? How will the future of technology correct for ageism, racism, sexism? Bradley Schurman, an author, demographic futurist, and opinion maker on all things dealing with the business of longevity, joins us on the SuperAge podcast for a fascinating discussion about rapidly advancing technology like the metaverse and Web3. Bradley explains how we can keep up with these innovations and use them to our advantage. What you will learn in this episode:- What the metaverse and Web3 are- How the metaverse and Web3 will change our work lives and how we connect with our communities- How nursing homes are using technology to keep their residents connected - How the future of technology will correct for discrimination against age, gender, location, appearance - Fraud in the digital space- Why it is so important to stay up to date with these innovations or risk being left behind“Thanks to decades of scientific and social innovation, we are in almost every measure living healthier, longer lives than ever before. So this idea that the age of 65 is somehow a stopping point has really become outdated.”“It’s a lot like a tree. When we’re young, all trees look the same, we all have the same kind of sapling, the same kind of structure. But as we live, we become more diverse. We have different outcroppings of branches, and leaves, and different cycles of when we bud.” “Tech companies’ single biggest problem is ageism. It’s not racism or sexism it is ageism and there is enough data out there to prove that.” “As we enter this new period of time for humans where there are more older people and fewer younger people, technologies like Web3 and Metaverse, they’re going to help us find efficiencies in the system because we simply don’t have enough younger people to take care of the older population.” “There are a lot of constructs in the world so why can’t they be in the virtual world as well? They will be. We’ll carry those constructs with us.” Timestamps:00:00:00 Welcome to the podcast00:00:37 About today's show00:02:38 Call in to leave a voicemail +1 801-871-529100:03:39 Thank you to our sponsor, InsideTracker00:04:52 Introducing Bradley Schurman00:05:11 About Bradley's book, The Super Age00:12:12 About the evolution of technology and the metaverse00:16:52 Healthcare and technology 00:19:27 The metaverse and decreasing job hiring discrimination00:24:39 The adoption & challenges of new technologies 00:34:41 Practical uses of the metaverse00:35:37 Crafting our digital avatars VS. who we are in the real world00:43:40 Fraud in the digital space00:45:53 The issue for those who are resistant to learning new technologies00:52:00 Finding the value in things that we cannot physically interact with 00:58:13 How technology will change our work lives Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Have a question you want to be answered by either David or one of our health experts?

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)? How does HBOT aid in longevity, brain health, and cancer treatments? What are the different HBOT protocols and what are the pros and cons of each? How can someone try HBOT? How can one expect to feel after the treatment? Can we do HBOT at home? Dr. Scott Sherr, the director of Integrative Hyperbaric Medicine and Health Optimization at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions, joins us on the SuperAge podcast to share everything we need to know about hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Specifically, he discusses how HBOT promotes longevity, brain health, and aids in post-cancer therapy. He also explains the mechanics of HBOT, who will benefit, and some supplemental healthy habits we all should be doing to optimize our health. What you will learn:What HBOT isWho can benefit from HBOTWho should not do HBOTThe different HBOT protocols and mechanics of the treatmentHealthy habits to optimize your health What is oxidative stress“You can’t argue with the imaging, as far as I’m concerned. You can’t argue with somebody’s brain that’s either had a stroke or traumatic brain injury, gets into a hyperbaric chamber and then you can see their brains come back to life.” “I was asked to speak at a hyperbaric conference during the pandemic and the first title that I had was: ‘Please don’t put them in the chamber.’ Because of course, if you have a therapy, you’re going to want to use it on everybody. So one of the roles that I have in the hyperbaric world is to try to educate people on when is the best time to use the chamber, what types of chambers are best to use for that particular condition, and when to not go into the chamber.” “Senescent cells are also called zombie cells. The reason they’re called zombie cells is because they don’t die and they don’t divide. They just stick around, don’t work anymore, and cause inflammation. As we get older, the population of senescent cells increases, and as they increase so does your risk of cancer, heart disease, and inflammation degeneration.”“What hyperbaric therapy is doing is it’s very much working at the cellular level.” “Everyone can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy at some point in their life. It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when.”“More is not always better. It’s not the American way here. We want to fine-tune our protocols so that we’re focused on the brain, or we’re focused on the body.” “Unfortunately the medical paradigm is: drugs first, ask questions later.” Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome to the podcast00:00:38 Update on David’s plant-based diet & continuous glucose monitor00:02:48 Thank you to our sponsor, InsideTracker 00:04:26 Introducing Dr. Scott Sherr00:04:54 Dr. Sherr’s first introduction to HBOT00:09:35 History of HBOT00:11:27 What the Aviv Clinics are up to with HBOT00:15:28 What are senescent cells?00:17:10 The legitimacy of the results from HBOT00:19:51 HBOT and the brain00:23:03 Oxidative stress00:26:50 Dr. Sherr’s HBOT cautions 00:28:55 The mechanics of HBOT 00:36:31 The different types of HBOT chambers00:41:41 HBOT and stem cells 00:43:45 HBOT and cancer00:50:02 At home HBOT chambers00:57:05 HBOT studies00:60:27 Get in touch with Dr. SherrThank you to our sponsor InsideTracker.

It’s the sugar-fed animals that develop hypertension.” “When the body thinks it doesn’t have enough energy, it goes into a survival mode. And it stores fat, stores carbohydrates as glycogen, becomes insulin resistant.”“We actually could reverse obesity in animals that were overweight on sugar by increasing their water intake.” “I encourage everyone to hydrate better.

What are the benefits of wearable trackers and how do they work? What is heart rate variability (HRV)? How do trackers understand when we’re in light sleep, deep sleep, or REM sleep? What is the optimal time spent for each sleep cycle? What does the future for wearable trackers look like? Wearable trackers take the guesswork out of our health. Instead of going off of a feeling, you can now get personalized data on what’s really going on; that’s why we are such big fans of trackers.

And that baffled me. That’s when I put the journalism hat on, I started all the research, I dug in deep, and I learned it really is what we put in, on, and around our bodies that turn on or off certain dormant cancer cells or genes.” “Just start.

What is the purpose of fillers? What does CoolSculpting do and what should we be aware of before doing it? What do we need to know about lasers? What are the cautions for doing more invasive facial resurfacing treatments? What new skincare treatments are on the horizon? What should we do every day for better skin? In what order should we apply our skincare? Kelly Stankiewicz, MD, FAAD is a board-certified dermatologist with a passion for all things skin. After graduating from medical school at Indiana University School of Medicine in 2006, Dr. Stankiewicz completed her dermatology residency at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in 2010 and a clinical fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and the Wellman Center for Photomedicine in lasers and cosmetic dermatology in 2011. She joins the SuperAge podcast to help us understand the world of dermatology. What should we be doing and what shouldn’t we be doing? Dr. Stankiewicz recommends everyone to check in with a trusted doctor or esthetician to decide on your skin goals and needs. Categories of topical products that Dr. Stankiewicz recommends incorporating: daily sunscreen, antioxidants, exfoliants (retin-A, glycolic acid, etc.), growth/rejuvenating serums (peptides, smart molecules, etc.). “Number 1: sunscreen. If there’s nothing else that you do, you must stay out of the sun. I hope everybody knows that by now.”“The cosmeceutical industry is huge. And anybody can sell anything.” “I would recommend to everybody to have a doctor or an esthetician who they truly trust to lead them in the right direction.”“I find that overdoing it can make you look old. Too much plastic surgery, too much filler, makes you look old. When you’re chasing minor imperfections, that's when you can overdo it.” Thank you to our sponsor InsideTracker.

How can we optimize our skin without injectables? When are injectables a good idea? What about surgery? What lifestyle habits improve the way we look? What products should we use for hydration, texture, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines?Dr. Lara Devgan is a board-certified, Yale-educated, Johns Hopkins Medical School-instructed, and Columbia/ New York Presbyterian Hospital-trained plastic & reconstructive surgeon. Her special interests are cosmetic surgery of the face and body, and reconstructive surgery for breast cancer, skin cancer, and facial injuries. She joins us on the podcast to discuss the different options for aesthetic enhancement from skincare to injectables to surgery.What you will learn:- How to optimize your skin without any injectables- The lifestyle habits that improve the look of our skin- The power of injectables- When surgery is a good option for someone- What society gets wrong about plastic surgery“One of the best things that you can do for your own self esteem and for your own facial beauty is to allow certain flaws to continue to exist.”“I would never want to create in the world this idea that anybody who is not interested in plastic surgery needs plastic surgery. I think the whole goal of plastic surgery as a field is to give people safe, medically appropriate options. Not to create the need to adhere to a certain kind of body image.”“Why is it so impossible to consider that you can be a person of substance who also cares about how they present to the world?”Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Connect with Dr. Lara Devgan:Website - https://laradevganmd.comInstagram - https://instagram.com/laradevganmdSkincare Brand - https://drlaradevgan.comSay hi to the AGEIST team!
