In EPISODE 169 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, I again talk with Jennifer Powers PhD, co-author with Luke Comer, of the newly released book, On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance your Quality of Life. We explore foundational areas in which evolutionary mismatch between humans and modern society may lead to various diseases and pathologies. In Part 1 we focussed on the importance of accommodating our sleep and nutrition lifestyles in the context of contemporary life, while respecting our ancestral blue print. In this episode, Part 2, we explore the ancient balance between work and rest in the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, realizing that it is challenging to balance productivity and well-being in the modern workplace with the need to reconnect with nature for personal well-being. We acknowledged the evolving science on climate change and the need to balance technological advancements with preserving the natural environment.Jenny Powers is a mom, a writer, a scientist and an athlete from Colorado. Jenny's PhD is in immunology, but she left academia to be a mom and to pursue a writing career. Up to that point, she had only written scientific journal articles and fiction for middle grade children. The opportunity to research and write on the origin of being with Luke Comer, allowed her scientific training and passion for writing to come together harmoniously.

In EPISODE 168 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER I talk with Jennifer Powers PhD, co-author with Luke Comer, of the newly released book, On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance your Quality of Life. I found this book to be both a fascinating and captivating read, and an intensively researched and reference text. So the overall thesis of the book is that the environment that we live in today is radically different from the one in which we evolved. And the agricultural revolution when we stopped being hunter gatherers, and later the Industrial Revolution,  exponentially accelerated the rate of change in our lifestyles.  It takes a immeasurably long time for the evolutionary process to occur in the human body and we have not had the time for our bodies to genetically adjust to our environment. This evolutionary mismatch is a key factor in many of the disorders of modern life. Jenny Powers is a mom, a writer, a scientist and an athlete from Colorado. Jenny's PhD is in immunology, but she left academia to be a mom and to pursue a writing career.

In EPISODE 164 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER with Dr. Samantha Wellapilli, we discuss the limitations of conventional medicine in addressing mental health issues and the need for a more comprehensive approach incorporating spiritual practices and connection with community. We explore the intersections of personal responsibility, spirituality, stress eating, and healthy habits, highlighting the connection between stress, sleep and habits, and the importance of making conscious choices for positive changes in overall health. Acknowledging the dual nature of alcohol consumption, we discuss how self-awareness, mindfulness, and responsible consumption can mitigate negative impacts on the body and mind. Dr. Wellapilli suggests we undertake a transformative journey of reclaiming our higher powersin order to shift from human “doings’ to human ‘beings’. We do this by breaking free of cycles of overthinking, worrying and feeling overwhelmed by all the things we believe we should be doing. And instead nurturing our spiritual health, and tapping into the deeper wisdom of the soul or higher mind. Dr. Sam left her thriving career as a family doctor in London, because she experienced the pain of living according to the expectation of others, and working in a conventional system that did not allow for the vital spiritual element of each person to be honoured. She spent time traveling and studying in Asia, and the Americas. With support from incredible teachers, she found her mission to help others release their self doubt and old patterns to find their own inner strength and healing. Dr. Sam is an inspiring mentor, who has worked with leading health professionals, corporate groups, and high flying women around the globe. Honing skills through the life and soul medicine methodology, she helps women release old patterns of self doubt to find their spark again.

EPISODE 157 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on one of the key pillars of the Growing Older Living Younger Roadmap for healthy aging - positive relationships built through personal and community connections. We recognize the importance of positive relationships in counteracting negative, stress-response evoking emotions such as loneliness or sadness, that impact physical and mental health. When there is strife within a partnership or a marriage, a vicious cycle may ensue, of negative emotions causing stress responses, which in turn causes  partners to engage in further angry behaviors, triggering more negative emotions. Anger is one of the most effective emotions in damaging a relationship. Feelings of annoyance, outrage or hostility, release stress hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, and ramps up the negative ways in which the couple interact with each other. But what if there is a simple and fun way to break the cycle of blame and recrimination ? In today’s episode I talk with Rod Jeter, who asks the simple question, “Why Be angry?” A couple of years ago, Rod and his wife were kicked out of marriage counselling in what was just the fifth, of what was supposed to be twelve, sessions. Rod admits it was clearly his fault for being stubborn. So he set to work to create a game to help couples resolve their disagreements in minutes. This game is YBAngry. We discuss how and why the game works  to fix relationships and resolve differences. Episode Timeline 0:11 Breaking cycle of blame in marriages with game creator, Rod Jeter 4:01 Marriage counselling and relationship issues. 7:41 Resolving disagreements in relationships. 14:05 Example of the car issue with ranking and agreement. 19:25 Communication techniques. 26:30 Communication and conflict resolution 30:06 Effectively resolving relationship issues through a game Learn more about Rod Jeter and YBAngry Gift: 3 FREE TIPS- https://YBAngry.com Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@YBAngry?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/mrrodjeter Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrrodjeter Get to know Your Host: Dr. Gillian Lockitch Download your free Guide to Living Younger Longer.  Download the Growing Older Living Younger app for your smartphone or tablet Schedule a free Discovery Call with Dr. Gill website: https://www.askdrgill.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gillian.lockitch/ GOLY Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/growingolderlivingyounger LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillianlockitch/ X: https://twitter.com/GilliansReviews And if you have not already done so, follow, rate and review this Growing Older Living Younger podcast.

 EPISODE 156 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on the powers of love, resilience, curiosity and courage to enable one to survive the most profound and catastrophic childhood traumas imaginable. Used wisely, those same powers will lead us to age gracefully to live younger longer. My guest today exemplifies survival through courage and resilience.  Eighty-eight year old Janet Singer Applefield,  holocaust survivor and author of “Becoming Janet: Finding Myself in the Holocaust”, was given away by her parents when she was seven years old. It was days before her parents were forced to report for a mandatory selection, the Nazis term for systematically separating those to be immediately murdered, from those to be worked to death. She survived the holocaust by hiding on a farm under a false identity. Miraculously, her father survived the camps and 3 years, found her in an orphanage. Janet learned 72 years later, that her mother had been exterminated at the Belzec death camp. If there's anyone who can teach us about bravery, resilience and hope, it is Janet Singer Applefield, through her memoir, showing how profound tragedy can be transformed into hope, self determination, and ultimately joy.

EPISODE 155 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on travel and the value of seeking out and relishing new experiences for living young. My favourite  form of travel was dance cruising and for years I shared my  Dance Cruise Travelblogues on my lifestyles website. When covid hit us and the world shut down, travel, and especially dance cruising, was no longer feasible. Now like many of my contemporaries,  I am ready to fill the holes in my travel bucket list. And so I'm specially delighted to talk today with Rodney George, a luxury travel consultant with over 15 years of experience in the travel industry.  Rodney leads an agency of travel professionals with a combined 185 years of travel experience, dedicated to providing personalized service and curating perfect travel experiences.

EPISODE 154 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER illustrates the importance of mental attitude and physical activity for enhancing health span. Today I talk with triathlon and endurance coach, Joe Friel. With a master's degree in Exercise Science, Joe was a marathoner and running coach throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. After his first triathlon in 1983 he began coaching multi sport athletes, becoming one of the first triathlon coaches in the country. His book The Triathletes Training Bible, remains the best selling book on triathlon training. Joe currently lives and trains in the mountains of northern Arizona. It struck me that Joe Friel is a poster child for Super-Aging, and I wanted him to share with us, the inner drive and passion for his sport that keeps him fit and actively training in his 80s  Some of the most frequent concerns I hear from participants in the Change Your aging Master Plan is that their activity level has decreased with age. Many have arthritis, fibromyalgia, or osteoporosis, and are much less inclined to keep mobile and active throughout the day. The first chapter in Joe's Triathletes Training Bible shows that a mental toughness mindset combining commitment, confidence and patience, is the key to success as a triathlete. I believe also that an essential key to aging youthfully is maintaining a mindset that with commitment, confidence and patience, we can remain physically and mentally vibrant, energized and active throughout our life. Episode Timeline: 0:11 Aging youthfully with endurance coach Joe Friel.  4:51 Life journey from runner to triathlon coach 10:26 Transition to writing books 14:17 Exercise habits, aging and injuries 18:48 Impact of mental strength and fitness on a cycling athlete 25:31 Mental preparation for competition 31.28 Aging, maintaining fitness, and mental well-being Learn more about about Joe Friel: joefrieltraining.com Twitter: @jfriel Book: The Triathlete's Training Bible: The World's Most Comprehensive Training Guide, 5th Edition  Get to know Your Host: Dr. Gillian Lockitch Download your free Guide to Living Younger Longer.  Download the Growing Older Living Younger app for your smartphone or tablet Schedule a free Discovery Call with Dr. Gill website: https://www.askdrgill.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gillian.lockitch/ Join the GOLY Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/growingolderlivingyounger LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillianlockitch/ X: https://twitter.com/GilliansReviews And if you have not already done so, follow, rate and review this Growing Older Living Younger podcast.

EPISODE 153 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on the healing power of creativity through expression of the visual arts.

She currently teaches art history and appreciation in college, using textbooks that she has written and she can bear witness to  the healing power of art.
