This week's SuperAge podcast episode is an encore episode with fan favorite guest, Dr. Vonda Wright. In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright shares her insights on everything from the effects of exercise after 40, 50, and 60 to the benefits of foam rolling for recovery and performance and hormones. She wants to be healthy, active, vital, and joyful for the rest of her lifespan, and she wants to help others in doing the same by bridging the gap between their health span and lifespan. Fortunately, her research and experience as an orthopedic surgeon, speaker, and author has given her the knowledge to do just that.“What gets me up in the morning, David, is the knowledge that by saving your mobility, I’m going to save your life because there’s not one pill besides exercise and smart nutrition that effects all the diseases that we are commonly plagued with. So that’s what gets my out of bed everyday as an orthopod and an author and a speaker.” “We know that 68% of people do not do any kind of mobility any day of the week. And that’s why about 60% of people in this country can qualify as obese and 30% of our children are obese. And 17% of our children, that we raised, now have diabetes. We need to do something about this now.“Listen to The SuperAge podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Sponsored by InsideTracker: https://bit.ly/3pNeEdUDr. Vonda Wright: https://www.drvondawright.comDr. Vonda Wright’s books: https://www.drvondawright.com/author-and-expert/HOT For Your Health Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hot-for-your-health/id1055206993Additional Resource: https://estrogenmatters.com  Say hi to the AGEIST team!

How can we use music to change our physical and mental states? Is there measured evidence to show that music can heal and transform our lives? What music should we listen to before bed to promote a more consistent circadian rhythm? What is the formula behind music tempo and composition for optimal meditative results? Be sure to listen through to the 59:00 mark to hear Barry play something special for us, live. Barry Goldstein, composer and Grammy award winning producer, has been connected to music ever since he can remember. After years of producing pop music, Barry began to burnout; he needed a tool to help heal his mental health. His burnout led him to explore the healing powers of music and he re-established his relationship to making music. He was now making transformational music beyond art and entertainment.  He discovered that this intentional, healing music was putting him in a meditative state, lowering his heart rate, positively impacting his brain waves, and shifting his mood. Now, Barry shares his insights on how music can heal through his own composition and through his book, “The Secret Language of the Heart.” What you will learn in this episode:The science behind healing musicWhy not all music is created equallyWhat music to listen to in the morning, in the afternoon, and before bedBarry’s personal and professional struggles with creating music How to let go of obstacles that are holding us back“In the midst of this burnout, I knew that I wanted to come back to my own heart and my love for music.” “Your internal rhythm of your heart has the ability to synchronize with the external rhythm within music.” “I am connecting to something beyond myself when I’m composing.” “Tap into the energy of something that you can claim in this moment.
