    David Donnelly: Can Humans Reach 150?

    Filmmaker David Donnelly joins us to discuss his new documentary Forever Young, an exploration of the rapidly advancing science of longevity. What began as a skeptical investigation into whether the hype around anti-aging breakthroughs was real ultimately revealed a growing body of research focused on extending healthspan and preventing disease. We examine what the science supports today, from the role of prevention and lifestyle to emerging therapies now entering human trials. Along the way, David raises larger questions about purpose, social connection, and how society must adapt as people begin to live longer and healthier lives.  Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Our Place: The top cookware brand for beautiful, non-toxic, PFA-free pots and pans.

    Dr. Peter Kevorkian: Is Chiropractic Healthcare’s Blind Spot?

    brain and body, plus what chiropractic can and cannot claim to “treat.” He shares a practical framework for finding a chiropractor you trust, including what to look for if you’re bringing in kids, athletes, or older adults. The conversation widens into a bigger point: shifting from symptom-chasing to daily self-care, with simple questions that help you choose routines and providers that support calm, resilience, and long-term function. Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Fatty15: C15:0 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in over 90 years, and Fatty15 is on a mission to optimize your C15:0 levels to help support your long-term health and wellness—especially as you age.

Key Moments “The bigger idea is that the spine plays a critical role in how the body functions. When communication gets interrupted, the body can work less than optimally… sometimes with no pain at all.” “The body isn’t fragmented. It’s more like a hologram—everything is connected to everything else. If one part has an issue, it can affect the whole.” “Instead of only asking ‘what stops disease,’ ask: ‘what creates health?’ That’s salutogenesis—the creation of health.” Connect with Dr. Peter Website: drpeterkevorkian.com Life Chiropractic College West: lifewest.edu/president LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drpeterkevorkian Clinic: westwoodfamilychiropractic.com Connect with AGEIST Newsletter Instagram Website LinkedIn Click Here for the full interview transcript.

    Judi Wineland: Why Women Travel Better

    Judi Wineland, world traveler and founder of AdventureWomen explains how a lifetime of extreme travel shaped her idea of “aliveness,” and why the right trip can change your relationship to your body, your confidence, and your attention. She breaks down what happens when women travel together without the labels and expectations they carry at home, and why that can unlock sharper honesty, better friendships, and a renewed sense of play. You’ll hear how awe, discomfort, and laughter become practical tools for building resilience, whether you’re walking an old pilgrimage route in Japan or feeling tiny on the Serengeti. If you want a clear-eyed take on how travel can support wellness, fitness, and personal momentum at any age, this episode is a blueprint.  Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Fatty15: C15:0 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in over 90 years, and Fatty15 is on a mission to optimize your C15:0 levels to help support your long-term health and wellness—especially as you age.

And we had these wonderful conversations and we laugh a lot because we also do these trips and go out and challenge ourselves a bit.” “You have to be open to it. You have to be ready and vulnerable, ready for vulnerabilities.” “Well, I would want to maybe challenge the fact that not all of us, not all people are as brave. You have to be a little bit vulnerable to allow yourself to be open, to allow others in, to allow the earth in, to allow the air in, to allow things to affect you.” Connect with Judi Super Age x AdventureWomen Immersions LinkedIn Instagram AdventureWomen Instagram Connect with AGEIST Newsletter Instagram Website LinkedIn Click Here for the full interview transcript.

    Oliver Amdrup-Chamby: The Truth About Protein Powders

    Most people focus on how much protein they eat, but Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, founder of health and wellness supplement brand Puori, argues the bigger question is whether your protein source is potent enough to support muscle as you age, and clean enough to use daily. He explains why leucine matters for muscle protein synthesis, and why plant and animal proteins can look very different once you factor in calories, volume, and digestibility. Then the conversation turns practical: what “third-party tested” should actually mean, why powders can concentrate contaminants, how to see through BS marketing, how to avoid toxins and more.  Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Our Place: The top cookware brand for beautiful, non-toxic, PFA-free pots and pans.
