Joel Fuhrman – Nutritional Tips for Brain Health, Longevity, and Healthy Aging

You know that you should be eating better, but it’s hard to know where to start. Nutrition is one of the most important factors in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but it can also be one of the most confusing. The baby boomer generation is entering into a critical phase of life, where maintaining good health and cognitive function is essential for enjoying a long, active lifestyle. One of the most effective ways to slow down the aging process is to eat a healthy, balanced diet. A diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and unprocessed whole grains can provide our bodies with all the nutrients we need to function optimally. And by adhering to this type of eating plan, we can reduce our risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions that are commonly associated with aging. One option for those looking to transition to a healthier way of eating is the Eat To Live Retreat. As the name suggests, this retreat is all about helping participants achieve their health goals by providing them with the education, guidance, and support they need. Led by renowned nutrition expert Dr. Joel Fuhrman, M.D., this intensive residential program teaches people how to eat for life – not just for quick fixes or temporary results. Whether you’re dealing with chronic disease or simply want to improve your overall quality of life through better nutrition, this retreat could be exactly what you need to achieve optimal wellness. So if you are a baby boomer ready to embrace new approaches toward health and longevity, consider signing up for a retreat. By utilizing this diet, baby boomers can protect their brains from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and support healthy aging at the cellular level. Overall, the nutritarian diet is an ideal choice for supporting brain health, longevity, and healthy aging during this crucial phase of life.———- Bio: Dr. Joel Fuhrman, M.D. is a graduate of the Univ. Penn Medicine medical program. He currently serves as a Professor of Health Sciences at Northern Arizona University and is also President of the Nutritional Research Foundation.

Craig D. Hanson – A New Kind of Senior Living and How It’s Changing the Lives of Seniors

As our population ages, it’s more important than ever to consider the impact of active aging, brain health, senior living, and affordable housing on the aging population. Active aging is a lifestyle approach that emphasizes involvement in physical, social, and cognitive activities in order to maintain independence and vitality as we age. Brain health is essential for maintaining cognitive function and deferring and maybe preventing dementia. Senior living options can provide a supportive environment for seniors who wish to remain independent and active. Affordable housing is an essential issue for seniors who may be on a fixed income or have medical expenses. By understanding the impact of these issues on the aging population, we can ensure that our seniors have the best possible quality of life. Today my guest is Craig Hanson, a visionary leader who implements sound strategy and corporate culture. He intuitively perceives opportunities in an organization, weaves them into a coherent whole, and pushes culture and strategy to produce business benefits. Focusing on innovative service and value development, he knows a firm is only as good as its employees.

Marlon Sobol – The Power of Music to Heal Seniors with Dementia

Researchers have focused on how music can benefit those with Alzheimer’s. Anecdotal evidence shows that music can tap memories and reduce anxiety, pain, heart rate, and blood pressure. It can help accelerate healing, boost learning, improve neurological disorders and increase social interaction. Musical memories are often preserved in Alzheimer’s disease because key brain areas linked to musical memory are relatively undamaged by the disease. Listening to favorite music can trigger long-term memories and bring comfort to people with Alzheimer’s. Music therapy can also reduce agitation, anxiety, and aggression in people with dementia. For some people, music may help ease physical pain. And research suggests that group singing may help improve memory and social interactions. Today My guest is Marlon Sobol MT-BC, LCAT. Marlon is a highly energetic and engaging music therapist and musician with over 20 years of experience in the Healthcare industry and has toured America and Europe, playing some of the biggest stages. He chooses to make meaningful music experiences with people of all ages and walks of life! Keeping a high-performance bar helps create a strong music-centered therapeutic and immersive experience for the seniors. He believes capturing top group music therapy techniques on video creates a vibrant, healthy community.

Julie Viola – The Great Resignation, Unpaid Childcare, and Flexible Work Schedules

The Great Resignation has been a hot topic lately, with many people debating its pros and cons. While some see it as a way to improve their work-life balance, others worry about the impact it could have on their career. But what is the Great Resignation, and why is it so controversial? The Great Resignation is when someone voluntarily leaves their job, usually without another job lined up. They do this to focus on other areas of their life, such as their family or personal health. While this may seem like a good idea, in theory, there are some potential downsides. For example, leaving your job without another one lined up can be a risky move financially. And if you’re in a highly competitive field, taking time off could put you at a disadvantage when you try to reenter the workforce. The term “sandwich generation” is used to describe the group of people who are sandwiched between the demands of taking care of their aging parents while also caring for their own children. This can be a difficult juggling act, and employers need to be understanding and accommodating of this demographic. Employees in the sandwich generation may need more flexible working schedules in order to be able to meet the demands of caring for both parents and children. They may also need more time off or different types of benefits, such as elder care benefits. By understanding the needs of employees in the sandwich generation, employers can create a more supportive and productive work environment. My guest is Julie Viola, MHA. She is known as a catalyst of healthcare strategies and go-to-market execution in the health tech field. Her ability to connect ideas and people results in strategies that drive brand preference, successful solution launches, and campaigns of impact.  She joins me today to discuss the sandwich generation and what companies need to know about this demographic as it relates to working schedules and benefits.

Alex Cahana – Baby Boomers, Blockchain and Beyond: How Web 3.0 Technologies Improve Health

Baby boomers have always been known for their innovative thinking and for being on the forefront of new technologies. Now, as they enter retirement, baby boomers are once again at the forefront of innovation, this time in the form of Metaverse, Blockchain, and Web 3.0 technologies. While these new technologies offer a world of potential, they also come with a unique set of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to use new technologies to their advantage. Many baby boomers grew up in a time when everything was done offline, so adapting to a world where everything is online can be difficult. They also worry about online safety. Also, baby boomers must navigate a complex financial landscape where it can be hard to determine if assets are worth acquiring. Finally, baby boomers must learn how to use these technologies in conjunction with each other. There are also numerous opportunities. As baby boomers age, the healthcare industry is preparing for an influx of patients. Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize how healthcare is delivered. It can be used to keep track of patient outcomes and medication regimens. This is very important for baby boomers, who are more likely to take multiple medications and visit multiple specialists.  Blockchain technology POTENTIALLY would allow doctors and nurses to quickly find and fix problems in the care process. Blockchain could be used to verify the identities of patients and providers, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive information. For baby boomers, dealing with healthcare costs and payments can be a real hassle. You’re on a fixed income, and every time you go to the doctor or get a prescription, it feels like there’s another bill to pay. Fortunately, blockchain technology is beginning to change all that. With blockchain, payments can be made more efficiently and securely, without all the paperwork and hassle. These technologies offer a level of security and transparency that is incredibly important for older adults who are handling their finances for the first time. With blockchain, baby boomers can track their money and make sure that they are getting the best deals possible. And with tokens, they can access a wide range of financial services that can help them to manage their money more effectively. As a result, blockchain and tokens are becoming increasingly popular with baby boomers who want to take control of their financial future. By harnessing the power of blockchain, we can ensure that baby boomers receive the best possible care.———- Bio: Joining me today is Dr. Alex Cahana, MD, a physician with over 25 years of clinical experience.

Giulio Maria Pasinetti – Aging Is Inevitable. But Biological Aging? That’s Optional.

For thousands of years, humans have been aging. And as our technology has progressed, so has our understanding of aging. We now know that while chronological aging is inevitable, biological aging is not. That’s why it’s so important to understand the biology of aging. We can reduce our risk factors for disease and improve our quality of life by making conscious choices about how we live our lives. When you hear that the baby boomer generation is getting older and people are living longer than ever before, what does that mean for us? Well, the definition of “aging successfully” is up for debate. Some people think that baby boomers have taken advantage of the system and should retire earlier. Others argue that we need to find a way to financially support older adults who are unable to work. There are also concerns about whether or not the healthcare system can handle an aging population. Many baby boomers are choosing to stay active and healthy well into their golden years. So, it’s important to remember that each person’s experience with aging is unique. We should all be prepared for the challenges and opportunities that come with growing old. Will baby boomers be the last generation to experience successful aging? Or will millennials and Generation X continue to enjoy good health into their golden years? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: the science of aging is constantly evolving, and we’re only getting better at fighting the effects of age-related disease. No matter what the future holds, we should all strive to age gracefully and with dignity.———- Joining me today is DR. GIULIO MARIA PASINETTI, MD, Ph.D. He is a world-renowned expert on aging and Alzheimer’s disease. He has dedicated his life to understanding the root causes of brain disorders.

Johannes Boshkow – Behavioral Science: The Key to Better Patient Outcomes for Baby Boomers

Imagine for a moment that you have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. Perhaps it’s diabetes or heart disease. You know that if you don’t take care of yourself, the consequences could be severe. So you diligently follow your treatment plan, checking your blood sugar levels or taking your medication every day without fail. But then one day, life gets in the way. You miss a dose of medication, or you forget to test your blood sugar. It seems like no big deal at the time, but soon enough, you start to slip into old habits. Before long, you’re back to square one, struggling to manage your illness. And that’s where behavioral science comes in. Behavioral science is the study of understanding human behavior. It helps us understand how we can change our behavior for the better, and how we can make lasting changes in our lives. It’s not easy to change our habits, but behavioral science offers us a roadmap for success. With enough patience and effort, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve our goals. So if you’re struggling with a chronic illness, don’t give up hope. There is help available, and with the right tools and support, you can succeed. Today my guest is Johannes Boshkow. Johannes always had a fascination with the way things worked – how molecules interact to create physical and chemical phenomena. This curiosity led him to study chemistry at some of the world’s most renowned universities: ETH Zurich in Switzerland and Harvard University in the US. After completing his doctorate, He then joined the business development team at Observia in 2020 where he works on bringing innovative patient support to markets worldwide. He is fascinated by the ways that technology can improve people’s lives, and he loves working at Observia because it combines his passion for life sciences with his interest in cutting-edge technology.

Wendy K. Goidel – Don’t Let the Legal Issues of Aging Catch You by Surprise

We all hope to live long and healthy lives. But as we age, our bodies change and we may face new challenges. This can be difficult to accept, but it’s important to remember that we still have rights and choices – even as we get older. For example, did you know that you have the right to choose how you want to be cared for if you become incapacitated? Or that there are options for long-term care that can help you stay in your own home? Or that you can create an estate plan to protect your assets if you need to go into a nursing home? Making informed decisions about our aging process can be difficult, but it’s so important. We need to think about our wishes for end-of-life care, how to make sure our family is taken care of financially if we pass away, and the tax implications of our estate plan. These are all big decisions, but they don’t have to be overwhelming. Take some time today to educate yourself about your rights and choices as you age. It’s important to be prepared for whatever life throws our way. And who knows – maybe by doing some planning now, we can avoid some difficult surprises down the road. Today my guest is Wendy K. Goidel, Esq. Wendy is an attorney with over 22 years of experience in the estate planning and elder law field. She has a unique perspective on the industry, having founded both the Goidel Law Group and Concierge Care Coordination.
