Living to 100 Club

The Cellular Wellness Solution is the title of the just-published book by our podcast guest, Dr. Bill Rawls. In this program, we explore the science of cellular damage, which accounts for all illness and injury, and cellular repair, the ability of cells to recover from stress. Our guest shares his knowledge of how dormant microbes in the body are the connecting factor to several chronic illnesses, and why 6 in 10 Americans are chronically ill. What natural chemicals are missing from our modern diet? How do these natural chemicals protect our cellular health? And how can we take control of our own wellness journey? This is a most informative conversation for our listeners. Be sure to tune in. Mini Bio As a 4th generation physician, Bill Rawls, MD, has dedicated his life to medicine.

Turning: The Magic and Mystery of More Days Our guest for this Living to 100 Club Podcast is author, geriatric nurse, and positive aging advocate, Becky Blue. Becky’s latest book, Turning, reflects her vision for a fresh outlook on aging, filled with serendipity and surprises, and the notion to leave the worry behind, to be replaced with wonder. We discuss the usual challenges of aging and the ways to combat the ageist attitudes we still see around us. How can we best spend the remaining "third act" of our lives? What does the world want from us in these later years, in this third act? And what wonder lies ahead when we turn outside of ourselves? Can we find the magic, and the mystery? Tune is as we discover the secret to welcoming, rather than dreading, the turning of the years. Mini Bio Becky Blue caught the writing bug as a bell bottom-wearing high schooler, and she’s been putting pen to paper ever since. A professional career in geriatric and faith-based nursing only strengthened that passion, as her work sharpened her skills as a writer, teaching her to observe, listen, and question. Now, in retirement, the connections between health and faith have appeared on her blog, Made with Words. Turning: The Magic and Mystery of More Days is Becky’s second book, focusing on best spending the third act. This book followed Made with Words: Stories and Recipes from a Kitchen Wall, a 2018 cookbook inspired by her love of gathering friends and family in her kitchen.

Regenerative Medicine: The State-of-the-Art in Anti-Aging Health Care Our guest for this Living to 100 Club Podcast is Dr. Jeffrey D. Gross, a neurosurgeon and regenerative medicine practitioner. In this conversation, our focus is regenerative medicine. What it is, how it is different from traditional medicine, and how it contributes to anti-aging actions. We discuss the latest assessment and precision treatment approaches that seek to restore structure and function of damaged, aged, and degenerated cells and tissues as well as body organs. This includes the use of stem-cell based therapies. How do our bodies use our own stem cells to repair itself and why that innate process declines with age? Rather than relying on traditional clinical care that focuses on treating the symptoms, our guest shares his belief and experiences on how regenerative medicine services assist the activation and amplification of our own natural healing process. Tune in to learn what mechanisms are available today to help our body heal itself and live healthier, longer. This is the premier episode of our PREMIUM Podcast.
