Have there been times in your life you feel food is the enemy in your battle to get fit and lose those extra pounds? What if you could make a Peace trEATy with food? We love food! It’s nourishing, vital and of course, enjoyed in so many ways! So, let’s make peace with and sense of this important part of our lives once and for all!
Join us for an empowering episode as guest, Todd Nyholm, author of “Ah, Food, Why Do You Trouble My So Much?” shares why food isn’t the enemy in your battle to lose weight and why you don’t need another diet… but instead, you need your food to work for you, rather than against you. As a somatic therapist and holistic educator, Nyholm helps people discover how to reprogram their perception about food, nutrition and most importantly, themselves.
He reminds us that diets aren’t one size fits all and often are not connected to one’s willpower. Nyholm says diets fail because people have not changed the underlying mental, emotional and physical programming that drives their behavior. Discover why it’s important to pull back the layers of why we do what we do when it comes to food and drink and in terms of “feeding” our lives, including habits and motivations from all the way back to when we were kids!
Nyholm’s book isn’t a book about diets. It’s a book about discovering and working with your relationship with food in real time. For many, the subject of food and eating has left knots of emotional wounds. But through a series of questions and answers, readers are able to discover a lot of insight into the reasons behind their food behaviors. And with the answers revealed, success can certainly follow!

Hacking Chemo isn’t just a far-off dream that we’ll be talking about in this Aging GreatFULLy episode, it’s what today’s guest actually did! And, she wrote the book on it too, Hacking Chemo: Using Ketogenic Diet, Therapeutic Fasting, and a Kick-ass Attitude to Power Through Cancer.
Join us for an incredible power-hour of enlightYOUment as we welcome author, Registered Dietitian, and Health Coach, Martha Tettenborn RD, to the show, who brings over 30 years’ experience working in many areas of nutrition and shares cancer treatments, like chemo, don’t have to derail your life. Modern era renegade, she says that you can be your own bio-hacker by decoding how cancer works in your body…and your life.
In Hacking Chemo, Martha offers refreshing new ways of treating the disease with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness.
Imagine Martha’s surprise when she accidently discovered and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was then that she began exploring the research of the disease and discovered the science of cancer metabolism. This led her to develop and use a protocol of ketogenic diet with targeted therapeutic fasting to significantly impact her response to chemotherapy. Inspired by her own journey, Martha is dedicated to help others see cancer differently – as an experience that will give them strength, wisdom, and more love for their body and life than ever before. Her private practice, Primal RD, promotes a low-carb and high fat lifestyle for healthy aging and chronic disease prevention. Stop Feeding your cancer and start feeding yourself! To learn more about her work, visit her at www.marthatettenborn.com where you can also purchase her book!

Have you dreamed of Kicking Pain in the pASSt?
In this episode of Aging GreatFULLy, we combat PAIN like never before because if we’re going to get in the full light of living our best life now, we don’t want pain to impede our best of plans. And while pain definitely can be a quality-of-life spoiler, not all pain is bad. Join this amazing conversation with special guest David E. Frost, a NFPT Certified Master Fitness Trainer, rowing Coach and award-winning adjunct professor, as we take a deep dive into this topic that impacts most of us and certainly more so as we grow older. Dave helps us kick pain not only in the pASSt -- but in some cases, perhaps bid it farewell. Together, we'll discover the top five chronic PAIN’s experienced by older adults, including what we can do to prevent, remediate, or mitigate some of the effects, the key differences between acute and chronic pain, the two dimensions of pain, how pain subjectively and objectively changes as we age, and surprisingly, even some potential benefits of pain. Dave speaks of the “Art of the Possible” and in this inspiring episode, listeners will be encouraged to realize what is within their control. He reminds us there is so much we can do to not only make sense of our pain, but to take charge of it. From sensible footwear, smart phones, intimacy, sleep, posture, too much sitting, diet, exercise, controlling stress, and many other choices well within our command, we can absolutely kick much of our pain in the pASSt!
In a world of polypharmacy, we discuss viable alternatives to painkillers, NSAIDS, and other popular prescriptions, and how our bodies have their own internal storehouse of pain relievers, otherwise known as oxytocin. And of course, it wouldn’t be the Aging GreatFULLy show if we didn’t discuss the importance of attitude, gratitude and happiness and the essential role they play regarding our experience with pain and positive aging.
Dave Frost is passionate about adding life to our years, and doing so as pain free as possible. As author of Kaboomer: Thriving and Striving Into Your Nineties, he is also Founder and leads Well Past Forty LLC, to actively promote both wellness and fitness for athletes of all ages and abilities. He specializes in nutrition, endurance and strength training for people who deal with cancer, MS, PD, CP, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Dave is a non-profit executive and volunteer for America Rows. You can learn more about him or connect with his KABOOMER life’s work at https://wellpastforty.com.

It's finally here, happy New Year 2021! There’s so much to celebrate and this year the focus is on YOU! But instead of making a long list of New Year’s resolutions, this year, we’re doing something different on the Aging GreatFULLy show. Don’t miss this power-hour of enlightYOUment, as we welcome returning guest, Brendon Watt, Speaker and Best-Selling author of Relationships: Are You Sure You Want One, for a conversation on how anyone can reinvent themselves, how to end self-sabotage for good and even how to come back from rock bottom!
So, this year, we’re not going to make grandiose and lofty goals only to put ourselves under undue pressure of a pass / failure come March. Nor will we sign up to subject ourselves to the stress each day of having not been “good enough” and get caught up in that underachievement cycle that leads to self-sabotage day after day and often goes on for years—or even a lifetime.
But instead, this year, we’re choosing New Year's ResoYOUtions.
ResoYOUtions puts us in the driver’s seat of our own lives. ResoYOUtions are about personal empowerment … as we embrace reinventing what already exists. Accepting the awesome us that is; and deciding to make some positive improvements through asking ourselves the right questions. But the most important part of New Year's resoYOUtions is the answers we reveal to those questions we’ll be asking ourselves. Brendon shares that when we go to questioning, and start making different choices, the answers begin to appear.
As Brendon Watt shares, often our life has been the culmination of other people’s expectations and until we stop living out of other people’s hopes and aspirations for us and get real about what we truly want, we are challenged in finding true happiness. Having himself been in a place of rock bottom, and knowing he had to make a change, Brendon understands first hand what it is like to feel hopeless and seek change. A powerful show and perfect one to begin the New Year! If you want to be inspired as we begin 2021, this is a must-listen episode giving you the tools to create change and the life you want! Brendon uses his experiences to lead others to success, inspiring people to know they are just one choice away from change. You can connect with Brendon at www.BrendonWatt.com.

Welcoming special guest, Eric D. Brotman, CFP and CEO of BFG Financial Advisors with over 25 years of experience as a trusted advisor, we’ll answer the questions you have about future unknowns, planning and what if’s of all kinds.

Brotman shares how we can prepare for the costs of aging, what the three secrets of the happiest retirees are and how to create good financial habits and so much more! Believing that the concept of retirement is outdated, Brotman is on a mission to redefine retirement offering creative strategies to help people “graduate” to the next phase of life!
He has been featured on Baltimore WBAL’s 11 News Sunday Morning, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com, Yahoo! Finance, The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Business Jornal, Investment Advisor, Fidelity Investor’s Weekly and numerous publications.

Brotman is the author of several books, an avid traveler, and he himself plans to “graduate” to living on the beach but hopes to never retire in the traditional sense.

In this holiday episode of Aging GreatFULLy, you’re invited to grab a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite beverage, snuggle in with your favorite blanket or get warm by the fire place for an old-fashioned Christmas story time special. Show host, gerontologist Holley Kelley, has written special and heartwarming Christmas stories just for listeners!
Kelley shares the importance of hope, faith, love, resilience, gratitude, happiness, and joy. And how miracles can appear out of nowhere, in surprising places, at unsuspecting times -- if we choose to see them as such. In the end, we are reminded that regardless of what happens in life, some core things remain ever constant.
Kelley reminds us that Christmas time offers a great opportunity to open our heart a little more. To extend a little more love. And create room for a little more light. To let go of things that weigh down our soul. Perhaps even make amends. And to believe in the possibility of miracles.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, her tender and heartfelt stories will leave listeners realizing the most important elements in life are the things money can’t buy. And that we can change our own life and the lives of others by simple acts of loving kindness at Christmastime and always.

In this week’s Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we take you on a surprising adventure of insight and illumination of the spiritual kind! Join us, as we bring you a sought-after guest who is known for being courageous and fearless in faith regarding his destiny towards breaking through every level taking him to a Permanent State of Liberation and Eternal Peace.
If you have ever longed for knowing more peace, bliss, love, wonder and oneness, then Dr. Gabriel Cousens invites you to follow the trail he has to adventurously blazed!
Known worldwide as the renowned “Physician of the Soul” he invites others on a journey to embark to a place that might surprise and even perplex… that is – Into the Nothing! And that is also the title of his latest book, Into the Nothing: A Spiritual Autobiography, in which he reveals the mystical, wild ride he personally took as he awakened to living from the soul that is beyond the body and the mind.
Today, this 77-year old holistic physician, rabbi, yogi, spiritual mystic, psychiatrist, family therapist, vital-@-any-age advocate, humanitarian and peace ambassador, walks the planet in the state of Eternal Presence seeing the emanating light from all things, and yet living in the very real world where his wood works and spiritual guidance change daily lives. And while he may be 77 years old, he will personally go on record and say, he is growing younger. In fact, he is “youthing” and his body is in outstanding shape, moreso than that of his younger years when he was Captain on the undefeated 1964 Amherst College Football team. He is proof that with increasing chronological age, one can get physically stronger, more flexible and have increased physical endurance, and at age 77, he can do 1,000 push-ups a day! Furthermore, his work in the area of reversing diabetes will amaze!
He lives, as he says, in the world between Nothing (the world beyond time) and Something (the temporal world) and experiences a fully integrated life in multiple dimensions—happy, joyful, grateful, loving and peaceful without any exterior reason (non casual) because that is the nature of the primordial consciousness. There is the found of true freedom.
A fascinating hour as Dr. Cousens shares what it means to be a wild, liberated mystic, what the many cultures he has immersed himself in has taught him, what the six foundations are and so much more! To learn more about his work or purchase his latest of thirteen books, visit him at www.IntotheNothingBook.com or connect with him at www.Dr.Cousens.com.

From a very young age we are very impressionable and we carry those experiences forward as we grow older. Depending on our circumstances, and the way we interpret them, that can help or hinder the way encounter life as adults. Add a dose of expectations to the mix and we just might have a recipe for disappointment. Enter Rewire expert, Bob Doyle to the rescue! Join this fascinating conversation as we welcome special guest Bob Doyle, who was a featured thought leader in the world-wide phenomenon film, The Secret, and the recently released film, How Thoughts Become Things, as we talk about how rewiring actually works, and even more exciting how the things you want most in life begin to show up and manifest.
And we also talk about how our lens on life can get foggy and distorted over time and what we can do to clear things up. Bob shares the important role of mindfulness and gratitude as well as the powerful impact of negativity. More recently, Bob’s attention has shifted from the metaphysical aspects of Law of Attraction or “reality creation” process, to a more grounded and biological look at what controls our experiences…our brain.
Bob believes that an understanding of how our brain is processing our experience of reality empowers us to create NEW realities with a simple decision – and you’re not required to believe any “law of attraction” ideas if you’re not comfortable with metaphysical conversations.
This is a perfect conversation as we bring the year 2020 to a close and embark on the coming year and envision all we wish to create moving forward. If you have wishes, aspirations or a life you wish to create, this show is a must listen as we talk about a “no-genie needed” wish fulfillment and manifestation kind of living your be life now!
Bob Doyle’s company, Boundless Living Inc., has been in the business of helping people create lives they love using Law of Attraction principles since 2002. To learn more about him or connect with him visit www.MeetBobDoyle.com.
