Ageism is the last acceptable prejudice - and it's costing us years of our lives. Dr. Paul Nash, a leading expert on gerontology, reveals how our negative perceptions of aging aren't just hurtful – they're actively harming our health and shortening our lifespans.

Join us as Dr. Nash debunks the most pervasive aging myths and shares eye-opening truths about the longevity revolution. You'll learn why loneliness is more lethal than obesity (or smoking 15 cigarettes!), how to make your surroundings "age-proof," and why embracing your inner "crotchety old man" may be the secret to a longer, vibrant life.

"We're actually prejudicing against our future selves. It makes literally zero sense." ~Dr. Paul Nash

About Dr. Paul Nash:

Dr. Paul Nash is a professor of gerontology at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and an internationally recognized expert on ageism. His research focuses on the causes and consequences of ageism at the individual and societal level, with a special emphasis on the intersection of ageism with other forms of discrimination.

Dr. Nash earned his PhD in psychology from the University of Glamorgan. He has worked with the World Health Organization on its global aging initiatives and serves as co-chair of the Aging Caucus for the Los Angeles County Commission on HIV. He's the author of "Critical Questions for Aging Societies," a user-friendly guide to navigating the challenges and opportunities of an aging world. When Dr. Nash is not championing the anti-ageism cause, you can find him irritating the youth at his local pub.

At age 25, Dr. Jaban Moore went from being an award-winning college athlete to not being able to get out of bed.

Seeking answers from countless doctors, Dr. Moore was only given band-aid solutions until he was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease. Once he overcame this complex infection, he dedicated his practice to helping clients discover the causes of their symptoms.

Join us as Dr. Moore shares his insights on the crucial role the nervous system plays in regulating immune function, digestion, detoxification, and overall health.

From identifying environmental toxins to healing past traumas, Dr. Moore provides a roadmap for calming the nervous system and unlocking the body's innate healing potential. Because when you're no longer "running from the tiger," you have the energy to thrive.

"When you're stuck in fight or flight, which means that your body feels unsafe all the time for whatever reason, it is trying to keep up with whatever's happening in your life." ~Dr. Jaban Moore

At first glance, Ayurveda and modern Western medicine seem worlds apart. But for Dr. Shivani Gupta, they're two pieces of the same puzzle - one that unlocks the secrets to vibrant health and longevity.

Raised in Houston by Indian immigrant parents, Dr. Shivani grew up straddling two different approaches to wellness. Visits to India meant spices and herbs from grandma's kitchen to cure any ailment.

With a master's in Ayurvedic sciences and a Ph.D. on the power of turmeric, Dr. Shivani is on a mission to make Ayurveda accessible and digestible for all. Discover how small shifts in your daily rhythm, from tongue scraping to circadian fasting, could be the key to keeping inflammation at bay.

Imagine stepping into a chamber, allowing your body to experience increased pressure and oxygen levels, and emerging with the potential to heal injuries, improve brain function, and even reverse the aging process. Sound too good to be true? According to Dr. Jason Sonners, it's not only possible but also one of the most powerful tools for longevity and regeneration.

Dr. Sonners, a chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and leading expert in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), shares his incredible journey from skeptic to believer after HBOT helped him recover from a herniated disc and dropped foot. He breaks down the mechanisms behind HBOT, from saturating plasma with oxygen to stimulating stem cell production and angiogenesis.

But HBOT isn't just for acute conditions. Dr. Sonners explains how regular HBOT sessions can act as a "vitamin dose" of oxygen, supporting cellular health, slowing inflammation, and potentially reversing biological aging processes.

Tune in as Dr. Sonners unlocks the power of oxygen and shares practical tips for incorporating this cutting-edge therapy into your longevity toolkit.
