Going out on a limb here when I say, no one wants dementia.

Amiright?

When I heard about the new book, Dementia Prevention, Using Your Head to Save Your Brain, I knew I wanted to interview the author(s). Luckily, one of them reached out to me, to you the audience, thinking it might be something we’d be interested in. Ya think?

This episode is chock full of what contributes to dementia, who might be heading that way, and what we can do to prevent it or slow the progression.

Learn how to navigate a broken healthcare system.

Susan Salenger is the author and researcher behind SIDELINED: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System. Sidelined examines the many ways in which some women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare.

Systemic issues plague our healthcare system—less funding for women’s health research and gender biases can put lives at risk. I brought Susan on to dive deep into why this happens and what needs fixing.

Dr. Doug Lucas is one of my fave docs. Why? Because he goes the extra mile to research before treating patients or sharing science and health news. And he isn’t afraid to say “I don’t know.”

He’s also one of the docs I love to feature because he has transitioned from the western model of medicine–he was an orthopedic surgeon–to holistic health; prevention and remedial treatment.

Today he shares his insights on preventing and reversing bone loss at any age.

Dr. Philip Ovadia, is a practicing cardiac surgeon who is on a mission to revolutionize heart health by keeping people off his operating table. It starts with our lifestyle choices–not really news is it?

Take one aspect, food. It’s information and it’s information that speaks directly to the many systems that keep us going–or not going.

Dr. Jack Wolfson and I had a great conversation because he was open to any and all questions. We covered a lot of ground but basically it’s this: The Truth About Heart Health and Avoiding Unnecessary Procedures.

You’ll learn how Dr. Wolfson shifted from Western medicine to a holistic approach focused on avoiding unnecessary procedures as we age. His philosophy on how to do this is summed up the foundation of treating patients.

I sat down with Dr. Michelle Tubman, practicing physician and health coach, to dismantle societal myths surrounding women’s bodies and health. I had to ask because of outdated science I was operating from: do larger body sizes inherently equate to poor health?

Spoiler alert: they don’t. We went on to discuss how cultural pressures can distort self-perception and how painful this is for millions of men, women, and children.

This episode is a sneak peek into my mind’s workings as we march into the new year. It’s about who I’ll be chatting with—individuals who challenge norms and inspire us to rethink aging, not as decline but as an opportunity for growth and vitality.

Perhaps the new music indicates I’m ready for a fresh start. This isn’t just an update to the playlist; it’s a rejuvenation of content and spirit aimed at those who share a desire to live life to the max–me and you!

My guests are Caryl and Jay Casbon co-authors of the book, Side by Side: The Sacred Art of Couples Aging with Wisdom & Love.

The book is based on interviews with couples well into the second half of life and looks to answer the question, What keeps a marriage evolving and thriving, especially in the final season of life?

And:

1. How can we make the most of our remaining years?
2. What does love mean now, at this seasoned age?
3. How do we work with the tension of “me” and “we?”
4. How do we practice mutuality to support each other in body, mind, and spirit?
5. How can we offer a beneficial presence to our troubled world?
6. When one of us dies first, how will the survivor live on and thrive?

ue Robotti’s personal journey experience with DES (Diethylstilbestrol) exposure through her mother led to her infertility. It also inspired her commitment to medication awareness.

She created the MedShadow Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides education on the side effects and long-term impacts of medicines.

As we grow older, it’s not uncommon to face an increasing number of prescriptions. Each tablet or capsule promises relief or prevention from ailments that often accompany aging. But with every promise comes a caveat; medications carry risks and potential complications which may be heightened as our bodies change over time.
