This week on the Aging Today podcast, I interviewed writer Marilyn Haus. She explains the challenging personal struggle of life with a bipolar twin.In her book, Half of a Whole, Marilyn reveals the unadorned, compelling story of the struggle to protect her bipolar twin brother while seeking to individuate herself, all while enmeshed in the repressive culture of an overzealous family. She relates an inspiring, courageous, and complex journey toward the freedom we all need to fulfill our individual potential. Join Mark on Aging Today as Marilyn tells her fascinating story.

In fact, we ingest 17 teaspoons of added sugar to our diet every single day. This adds up to around 60 pounds of additional sugar consumed annually. Tune in to the Aging Today Podcast to see what Steve is cooking up in his kitchen to give all of us nutritious foods for better health.

Nikki Jardin joins the Aging Today Podcast and shares her personal story of how her aunt's dementia led to the creation of Mirador Magazine. Nikki says, “‘Mirador’ is a Spanish word that means a vantage point, a balcony, or a lookout, which is what we would like to provide. I would like our pages to be places where readers can take in a vast landscape and zero in on various points of interest at their leisure and pace.”
