He talks about GRACE and uses this acronym to establish 5 attributes that lead to living a vibrant life, including things we can all do to take positive action in the right direction today.
And, Senior Driving Dilemmas, Lifesaving Strategies is an informational guide to families, helping them understand the complexities of senior driving.
In this must-listen power-hour of enlightYOUment, Dr. Bernstein shares the leading cause of illnesses he observed including what they have in common. He talks about the silent and stealthy dangers of chronic inflammation and how it can be detected and what can people who have it can do about it. And he shares attributes he observed on behalf of his patients that he believes greatly contributed to their healing, recovery and longevity.
It’s an insightful, engaging, and educational hour from beginning to end, and listeners will certainly be happy the Geriatrician is in! Which by the way, it was great hearing his story as to what inspired him to become one in the first place! Shout out to Dr. Bernstein’s amazing Aunt Flo and her awesome luck!

As we welcome the New Year, host Holley Kelley welcomes listeners with a simple message, to make the year theirs! Instead of hoping this year will bring great bounty to us, Holley reminds us that we already have all that is necessary to bring forth awesomeness to ROCK THIS YEAR!
And, there is no time like the present to get started! She calls upon listeners to bring their dreams to reality, through creating a “2022 Matters Most List” and make it and themselves a priority each and every step of the way. She reminds Aging Rebels of their capacity to achieve whatever they desire. She also echoes how hurdles will always be here to discourage us so if we wait on a perfect time, we’ll be waiting a lifetime. She emphasizes NO dreams are off limits. She leads us to answer some simple—but not necessarily easy—questions to begin our “New Year’s Matters Most Lists” – reminding us that New Years are a time for NEW hopes, objectives, desires, ambitions, goals, wishes and dreams and whatever they may be, we deserve it!
Kelley reminds us that life is now and that’s why getting started this year, amidst the less-than-ideal circumstances presented, done creatively, allows us to still pursue living out or purpose-driven goals. Kelley also spends some of the episode prompting us to clear a path to make those dreams possible to begin the new year ensuring success with our goals, asking listeners to take personal inventory on things that could interfere with our Best Life Now ambitions. Through not getting caught up in the traps of fear, toxicity, or divide, and staying inspired and centered in pursuit of goals, and loving all that can be created through this year, she shares how we will marvel at what will unfold as a result!
Calling upon all beautiful, wise, contributing, daring, FUN, bucket-list living, stereo-type breaking, comfort-zone crossing, throwing out the box because Aging Rebels don’t acknowledge boxes, dream chasing, living life on their terms because it just gets better with age, and age is just a number, even though we don’t act it, Aging Rebel extraordinaires, Aging GreatFULLy catch us if you can, resourceful, ingenious, Longevitor Rock Star role models … to lead the way and ROCK 2022 and see what shows UP!
Happy New Year Aging Rebels Around The World!!!

What if your conscience could be your guide and provide super-conscious wisdom? That’s the powerful message today’s guest, Leonard Perlmutter, brings for the New 2022 Year and beyond! As a globally recognized thought-leader and founder of the American Medication Institute and innovator and founder of January’s National Conscience Month, Leonard shows us how to give our conscience sway in our life! Perlmutter shares how ALL of our decisions support and guide us to act in our highest good, leading to a life of joy, love, peace and both personal and professional success.
As author of Your Conscience: The Key to Unlock Limitless Wisdom, Creativity and Solve All of Life’s Challenges, Perlmutter articulates the powerful role of our conscience, highlighting its supreme intelligence, and helps us better understand the Four Functions of the Mind. Using his shared wisdom, we gain insight as to why perspective is everything and he helps us identify how to tune into our own conscience.
He educates on this complicated topic in a simplistic way that makes sense and it’s no wonder Jiminy Cricket is AMI’s self-proclaimed spoke person, as he does believe we should, “Always let your conscience be your guide.” But Perlmutter asks us not to take his word for it —calling upon each listener to experiment with what he shares. It’s an educational, empowering and entertaining hour from beginning to end, offering tips, tools and guidance towards unlocking our full potential of wisdom and unlimited possibilities.
In this power-hour of enlightYOUment, Perlmutter addresses the importance of self-care as it may relate to many New Year’s Resolutions, as well as a well-celebrated living and Aging GreatFULLy. He defines Yoga for us, and its many benefits, as well as meditation, and he invites listeners to join him for his globally-welcomed weekly guided meditations and Satsang held every Sunday morning.
Leonard has presented informative workshops on the benefits of meditation and Yoga Science at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Kaiser Permanente, the Albany Medical College, The New York Times forum on Yoga Science, the Commonwealth Club of California, the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing, the Washington University Medical School the University of Colorado Medical and the West Point Association of Graduates. Over the past twenty-five years, he has served on the faculties of the New England Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts and the International Himalayan Yoga Teachers Association in Calgary, Canada.
Leonard’s first book, The Heart and science of Yoga: The American Meditation Institute’s Empowering Self-Care Program for a Happy, Healthy, Joyful Life, is an encyclopedic guide to meditation and the Yoga Science that lies behind it. The book and its corresponding curriculum, taught by Leonard in his Foundations class, was enthusiastically endorsed by popular medical luminaries like Drs. Dean Ornish, Mehmet Oz and Larry Dossey.
You can learn more about this, his books and inspiring work, workshops, guided meditations and more by visiting www.americanmeditation.org. It's a must-listen for everyone who wants to take the wheel of their life for the New Year and unlock all the possibilities that await!

Join us for an Aging GreatFULLy Old-Fashioned Christmas Storytime with Holley Kelley! Some traditions never grow old, and story time gatherings are certainly one of them, regardless of our age. You’re invited to gather around the fireplace or snuggle up with your favorite blanket, beverage, family or pet and enjoy the timeless tradition of storytelling as host, Holley Kelley, shares some holiday stories she wrote just for listeners. Two are from last year’s Christmastime episode—but that’s the great thing about the holidays—the tradition of cherishing recycled stories told year after year. And we have a new narrative this year too, founded on truth that began long ago, around Christmastime. We hope you will enjoy all three special and unique pieces in this special holiday tribute hour.
In the hustle and bustle and demands of life, especially this time of year, we hope you will find some joy and lose yourself in the creative imaginings of storytelling. These stories are about family, love, forgiveness and never giving up on your dreams. They remind us of the true meaning of Christmastime and how important it is to carry forth the essence of all it encompasses, year-round.
The messages in these stories also bring forth the unwavering significance of unconditional love, what it means to belong, how you’re never too old, it’s never too late, and how family… is well… family—sometimes blood related, and sometimes it’s who we call “our people.”
Whether you celebrate special holidays or not, we hope every listener enjoys the messages woven within these storylines. On behalf of the Aging GreatFULLy show, we wish each listener a season of happiness and joy, may your life be full of what matters most, health, hope, passion, love, peace, and happiness.

Join us for a Holley Jolly Fun-Filled Christmas with Santa Claus but don't take us too serious because we're not, even if we try! Santa Claus, joins the Aging GreatFULLy show to tell us how things really are behind the scenes at the North Pole. But be forewarned, it's not a show for the young boys and girls because Santa, aka, my brother, Del Kelley, talks about liquored-up reindeer, what really happens at the Kringle Mingle, and some other surprises I didn't see coming! You'll be able to tell it was hard to keep my composure throughout a lot of this dialogue because my brother -- I mean Santa -- has that effect on me. It's a good thing that laughter is the best medicine!
With the year we've had, the challenges we often face, struggles life can throw our way, I hope this episode allows you to get lost in some imaginative Christmas fun and lose yourself in a laugh or two. This episode is meant to entertain; I acknowledge that my jokes are bad but my hopes are to simply take your mind off of things and bring some enjoyment into your life and make your Yuletide merry! Our family laughs a lot, at each other, at life, and at ourselves. There's something to be said for laughter. I believe we can't get enough of it.
Santa shares how to make the "Nice List" and what he does with all those letters he receives! And he also answers the big question we're all wondering -- will Rudulph lead the sleigh again this year? It's a big reveal from beginning to end, including what he does during his off time, what he wears when he's not outfitted in the red suit, and so much more surprising North Pole News you'll only hear here!
There's some serious aspects of this show too, hidden amidst the narratives, humor and creative imaginings. Santa reminds us about the true meaning of this sacred and Glorious season. And the empirical value of kindness, and how each day offers a new opportunity to begin again with a fresh beginning. And Santa shares the importance of forgiveness too as he talks about the Naughty to Nice List system implemented at the NP. Christmas reminds us of the importance of sharing our generosity of spirit with others but Santa asks us to remember to do this year round. The gift of Christmas is a wonderful one to celebrate. So, I hope you laugh along with us through corny jokes, an atypical Santa, childlike imagination and wonder and join in our holiday cheer and celebrate this time of year with lots of fun and lightheartedness alongside us! May your Christmas be merry, bright, healthy, happy, full of laughter and love!

Sometimes NOT getting what you want is exactly what you need! That’s the powerful message of today’s guest, Chris Patrick, author of Disaster to Dreams: A Gritty Guide to Finding Success in the Face of Failure. Join us as Chris shares his personal story of how he wasn’t leading the life he wanted, his biggest catastrophes and greatest comebacks, and demonstrates how amazing opportunities lie just on the other side of adversity—if you’re willing to do the dirty work and dig through defeat. His book, Disaster to Dreams, is a tough-love, unfiltered self-improvement guide certain to motivate and transform stress into stability, train wrecks into trophies and disasters into dreams, as he shares page after page of his perfect shiftstorm!
Chris Patrick could have stayed on a one-way path of failure and life setbacks, but instead, a hard-partying snowboard bum turned successful businessman, his ride to success was hard-earned and well deserved. Through trials and tribulations, Chris persevered despite setbacks on the road to his eventual success, such as business failures, loss and heartbreak. Chris is currently a real estate consultant and founder of The Patrick Group, a premier real estate firm in Las Vegas. With over $100 million sold since 2013, he was named in the top 1% for all Las Vegas Realtors and the number one top producer for Signature Real Estate Group. Previously, he owned three successful businesses and spent 15 satisfying years in sales, marketing and customer service.
His message is an important and powerful one, written candidly and received between the pages as if hearing it right from your bestie over a latte or your favorite beverage or brew. And that is, he hopes to inspire others to see the opportunity within their own failures, rather than shame and defeat, and overcome their serious hardships, traumatic events, or struggles in order to live their absolute best lives. Chris's unfiltered messages resonate chapter after chapter. (note we elude to expletives in this episode but do not use them)
Chris Patrick is the classic example that life is what we make of it, and he’s here to remind everyone that nobody has a perfect life but we do have the power to improve it. Disaster to Dreams is a gripping read reminding everyone of their limitless opportunity. It’s part guidebook, part self-reflection workbook, part memoir, and entrepreneur’s bread crumb trail for great advice, but most of all, it’s a book for anyone who seeks to get the most out of life!

In this week’s power-hour of enlightYOUment we welcome Margit Novack, an entrepreneur, thought leader and widely considered founder of the Senior Move Management industry. After decades in the field of aging and senior living, she moved away from her life of work and title to another role – author of the book, Squint: Re-visioning the Second Half of Life, speaker, and champion of a re-visioned picture of aging.
We never know where life is going to take us, but we also know sometimes we need to push ourselves to leave our comfort zone too! Life is a balancing act – an ebb and flow, rich with lessons and Margit Novack has definitely written a book full of them!
There’s a saying, “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way” …. But Margit makes the case that moving forward is made easier by looking back. From a variety of heartfelt and authentic stories to years of experiences and wisdom gained both personally and as a senior move manager, Margit shares how we can reframe and re-vision growing older to navigate the years forward with purpose and passion! From the importance of social connections, to what we can learn from our aging pets, and even life transitions and making amends, her stories and examples are tender, all-too-real, sometimes humorous and even occasionally sad, but remind us all of the importance of having insight regarding these thought-provoking conversations.
Margit also focuses on legacies – not just the kind you leave behind but also the kind you create by the life you live – something so important for each of us to consider in our aging journey towards living our best life now. From letting go, geriatric fiblets, to resolving the mystery of a purse in the freezer, it’s a must-listen from beginning to end for everyone who wishes to lean in to making the rest of the years the best of the years, even if they have to Squint to do so!
