Ajay Joseph, MD, leads the Lifestyle Medicine Program for St. Francis Health System. The success he has had with the program is evident in the stories he shares. What's more, other department specialists have begun referring their patients to him. 

There isn't a lifestyle medicine for each organ; it addresses every aspect of health, and the evidence is overwhelming. Doctors are getting trained in lifestyle medicine in unprecedented numbers... because it works. It aligns with why they went into medicine: to help cure people. 

Dr. Joseph's energy is contagious. You'll understand why I love talking with cardiologists like Dr. Joseph.

Architect Aaron Murphy explains how many of us have got $500k hiding in our homes. 

After age 50, health and housing will cost more than everything else combined for most of us. Optimal outcomes demands an informed strategy designed around your unique needs and values. 

Builders are still building the same old way, even though today's needs have changed significantly.  Informed buyers are taking a lifespan perspective, calling for features that aren't found in most of today's homes. 

Aaron Murphy has been on the leading edge of better home designs for several years. What is possible now, at no extra cost, will surprise you!

In this insightful episode, Prof. Scott Fulton sits down with Dr. Sue Paul to explore the cutting edge of brain health and aging well. They open by debunking persistent myths—like the idea that cognitive decline is purely genetic or an inevitable part of aging—setting the stage for a conversation grounded in optimism and science.

Dr. Paul shares details about Kinnections, a cognitive health intervention program she developed for Asbury’s senior living communities. Built on evidence-based principles, Kinnections uses movement, novelty, and personalized cognitive assessments to help participants maintain or even improve brain function. With activities like boxing, Tai Chi, dance, and rock climbing, the program intentionally focuses on challenge over mastery—activating neuroplasticity in fun, engaging ways. 

More than 90% of participants, including those with mild cognitive impairment, have shown stable or improved scores.

The conversation also touches on the struggle to motivate individuals who don’t yet see signs of decline and the broader need to create environments that support cognitive wellness before a crisis arises. 

Dr. Paul also introduces SeniorScapes, a park project designed to make outdoor fitness and cognitive stimulation accessible to all ages.

Together, Scott and Sue champion a proactive, possibility-driven approach to brain health and aging.

My guest this week is Colin Milner. Colin is uniquely positioned at the intersection of health and housing, enabling us to have a special conversation on an important topic that nearly everyone overlooks.

Colin is CEO of the International Council on Active Aging and is well-known in senior living circles across the globe. We discuss the challenges and new opportunities arising in health and housing that will shape the vision you are looking to create. 

Everyone complains that seniors don't plan nearly enough. While that's true, it's also true that we often fail to provide them with the necessary information to enable better planning that leads to more appealing outcomes. 

Colin's been at this a long time, and we take the gloves off. Bubblewrapping people doesn't work. Colin's views on this and all things healthspan, longevity, and aging are insightful.

VO2 Max is about more than exercise. Arguably, the mitochondrial benefit is at least as important as the cardiovascular benefits. Combined with nutrition, they help explain why VO2 Max is such a powerful predictor of healthspan and longevity.

What if you could reverse-engineer your life?
