From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith, learn how to defy the effects of aging by implementing simple changes at every decade.

Whether we like it or not, lots of things change as we age: our joints start to creak, our muscles weaken, and we lose coordination. Our bodies simply don't look or perform the same each decade of life, and our risks for various diseases and medical conditions also increase as the years do. Getting old may be inevitable, but feeling old is not: we can age well and maximize each decade of life if we do the right things at the right time.

In Eat Your Age, acclaimed doctor and bestselling author Ian K. Smith shows readers the steps they need to take in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond to increase longevity and stave off future illnesses and ailments. By eating the right foods, keeping tabs on the right numbers, moving the right way, and sleeping better, we can slow the hands on the proverbial clock. Since food is medicine, this book will teach you what to eat at every age to prevent life-threatening diseases. For example:

30s-vitamin B6 (milk, ricotta cheese, tuna, eggs, sweet potato, bananas), magnesium (dark leafy greens, black beans, lentils, pumpkin seeds), Brussel sprouts, cauliflower

40s-probiotic, plant-based milk, avocado, spinach, chickpeas

50s-bromelain (pineapple, papaya, kiwifruit, asparagus, yogurt, sauerkraut), turmeric, berries, tomatoes, squash, carrots

60s+-Omega-3 (fatty fish like salmon and mackerel as well as chia, flaxseed, edamame), vitamin B12 (clams, beef, fortified cereal, tuna, milk and dairy products, fortified nondairy products), probiotic, high fiber foods (pinto beans, acorn squash, collard greens, guava, strawberries, broccoli)

With specific lifestyle and diet advice including fitness tests for each decade of life, this book proves that it's never too late to start battling the aging process. With Dr. Smith's sage plan, readers have the opportunity to function their best and find greater joy in life at any age.

All Aaron wants for Christmas is for his brother, Casey, to get over his ex, Raquel. He’d prefer not to be at Winter Wonderland, the island north of Alaska that’s home to a year-round Christmas theme park. But Casey loves Christmas, so here they are. Unfortunately for Aaron, Casey’s determined to do anything to win Raquel back.

All Kris wants for Christmas is for his uncle to move back to Winter Wonderland to be the first gay Santa. To make that happen Kris needs to win the Race, his grade’s annual competition to see who can get a guest to fall in love with them first. Winning means a trip to New York, where Kris would be able to plead his uncle’s case to the founder of Winter Wonderland himself.

After some slippery ice sends Aaron and Kris literally flopping into each other, Kris agrees to help Aaron with his plan to keep Casey single. But in all their scheming, both can’t stop thinking about kissing the other, and it’s not just because of the mistletoe around every corner. Too bad true love isn’t on either of their Christmas lists. 

Each summer on Cape Cod, multi-generational fishing families race against the clock - and each other - to catch highly valuable Atlantic bluefin tuna using only 10-foot electrified spears. Time is of the essence as harpoon boats only have four weeks to catch as many fish as they can before the overall limit is met. With fish worth as much as $10K each, stakes are high for these expert fishermen to make ends meet for their families and beat the competition to take home these prize fish. 

Growing up a “dock rat” in Green Harbor, Joe Dion was obsessed with fishing. As soon as he was old enough, he took any job he could find: cutting rope off of propellers, painting boat bottoms, helping fish buyers. At 13, he started fishing on charter boats. By 25, he captained his own harpoon boat. With Mike Miller (aka “The Hacker”) as his driver, Joe became one of the most successful harpooners in the fishery. Sadly, in 2022, his 11-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter were diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Joe sold his boat and took two seasons off to raise awareness for the disease. Now, with his family in a better place, he’s itching to get back on the water. With his old friend Mike by his side, Joe is ready to prove that lightning can strike twice.
Niko spent his childhood fishing with his dad, Bill, a legendary harpooner and advocate for harpooners’ rights. It’s no surprise that he ended up harpooning by his dad’s side as an adult. Sadly, Bill passed away in 2022. Now Niko is determined to carry on his father’s legacy, but with the Ezyduzit’s track record of landing 50 Bluefin per season, he has a lot to live up to. Luckily, Niko is a fearsome competitor. Since age 14, he has taken part in Strong Man competitions. At 29, he won the IPL World Powerlifting Championship. This will be his first year captaining the Ezyduzit, and Niko is driven to score big for his dad.

Pod Crashing episode 359 with Akilah Hughes from the podcast

Every working mother feels the crushing weight of juggling professional obligations with the demands of raising a family. American corporate culture has long been defined by its inflexibility and lack of acknowledgment of workers’ responsibilities outside the workplace. This leaves many of the 85 million mothers in the United States in a difficult position. As more women reevaluate their career choices, the logical answer for some has been to start their own businesses. But where to start? 

Enter MOTHER / FOUNDER: 68 Women on the Trials and Triumphs of Starting a Business and Raising a Family (Artisan Books; October 22, 2024; $35) by self-employed moms Amanda Jane Jones--co-creator and founding designer of Kinfolk--and former magazine and digital editor Jennifer Fernandez. An empowering celebration of women who are dedicated mothers and successful entrepreneurs, it reveals how each woman pursued their entrepreneurial dreams, overcame obstacles, and found professional contentment, all while providing for their families and parenting their children. The book’s variety is powerful: it features farmers, lawyers, midwives, pastry chefs, authors, multihyphenate brand-builders (like Jungalow’s Justina Blakeney)—and more. 

Some readers will enjoy MOTHER / FOUNDER as a daily burst of inspiration; others, curious about what it would take to make the leap, can use it as a practical roadmap for considering their next steps. It’s a gift of encouragement both for women at the beginning of their careers and for those feeling stale, stuck, and ready for something new.

Jones and Fernandez are refreshingly open about their own struggles and triumphs with balancing motherhood and creative ambition. To quote Brené Brown, who is featured in the book’s introduction, “It is a terrible myth to believe that once we have children, our journey ends and theirs begins. For many of us, the most interesting and productive times in our lives come after we have children.” 

MOTHER / FOUNDER aims to help mothers feel seen and to give them advice that sparks their imagination and helps them take ownership of their dreams.
