How to Get Younger While Getting “Older" | Suzanne Somers


Listen Later

3 years ago when Suzanne Somers came on the podcast to discuss her book A New Way to Age, I was blown away by her depth of knowledge and personal results in the field. Suzanne passed away this week, 23 years after her cancer diagnosis. Today, we're re-airing her episode about living a vibrant life.
_____________

Suzanne Somers has sex twice a day.

She’s 73.

“I’m horniest on the 12th day of the month,” she said. “When there’s a full moon.”

“I’ll never look at a full moon the same ever again,” I said.

She laughed. And told me why she’s feeling younger… even though she’s getting older. Which she writes about in her new bestselling book, “A New Way to Age: The Most Cutting-Edge Advances in Antiaging.”

Some might say “an actress” isn’t qualified to write a scientific book about aging.

But that’s stupid. One: she’s human. With human problems that lead her to see real doctors. The best doctors. With cutting-edge formulas to beat aging.

She told me, “I’ve beat cancer three times,” she said. And now she plans to live into her hundreds.

But with a caveat…

“If I’m going to be alive, then I want to be alive. What’s alive? I want to have a sex drive. I want to have nice shiny hair. I don’t want to have unexplained weight gain. I don’t want to have insomnia. I don’t want to have night sweats. I don’t want to have hot flashes. I don’t want to be forgetful.”

That’s what this book and this podcast is about. She breaks down:

– how to prevent memory loss

– how to keep your sex drive even as you age

– how to have a good quality of life into your hundreds

– how to access the latest age-defying technology

And we invited our friend Dr. Dean Mitchell to help back up her research.

And give us the science we need to be just as horny.

Full moon. Or not.
