The grim news about your biological age

The longevity gold rush is underway and we hear about the latest reasons for optimism and cynicism from Steve Horvath, the developer of a 'biological clock' that is mostly used by researchers or, the curious, although some experts question whether such measurements are ready for prime time. Horvath explains the science behind his clock, the centenarian connection and the food he says can keep our biological age low. Guest: Steve Horvath is a biogerontologist, whose research lies at the intersection of epigenetic biomarkers of aging, preclinical and clinical studies, genomics, epidemiology, and comparative biology. This episode was produced by Moira Welsh, Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Matthew Hearn and Sean Pattendon.

Introducing How to Live to 100 (or Die Trying)

The Toronto Star's Moira Welsh hosts How to Live to 100 or Die Trying, an uplifting, shocking, and illuminating conversation for all ages on growing older. You'll hear from a 40-something football star turned mobility mentor, a skateboarding impresario focused on death, but a good one. And a scientist who says he can measure biological age. But don't fear the reaper because he also shares a startling secret to longevity. We give traditional topics like ageism a millennial twist and go deep into the future of work. Call it freedom 75. Keeping it real throughout is blunt insight from a geriatrician who says most of that data on your wearable device is poppycock. It's quite a ride, this arc of life. You can find it on thestar.com or wherever you listen, to your favourite podcasts.

Freedom 75 or work, work, work

Hands up if you worry you'll outlive your money. Longevity is great - if the bills get paid and a lot of people in their 70s are still on the job because they need the money. The future of work is both perilous and potent, a chance to merge elders' crystallized intelligence with the incoming generations. What happens when the CEO develops dementia and doesn't want to leave the C-Suite? Or, if you have to work to survive but your feet can't stand another eight-hour shift? What if you want to stay in the office game for creativity and relevance? And, what about the millennials who want your job? We examine the brave new world of intergenerational workplace longevity whether we can do the job, want the job or even need the job. GUESTS: Beth Truesdale, co-editor of Over Time: America's Aging Workforce and the Future of Working Longer; Laura Tamblyn Watts, author of Let's Talk About Aging Parents: A Real-Life Guide to Solving Problems with 27 Essential Conversations.

Longevity in the land of ageism

What if we all looked forward to growing old? Embracing age is a new trend among some millennials and really, why not? That cohort has already given us body positivity, so aiming high, in years, is surely the next trend. Unless it crashes into the wall of ageism. And ageism, dear listeners, is the happiness killer coming for us all. Ageism 101: It seeps into every aspect of our lives, from invisibility to careers and relationships but what many do not know is that ageism can lead also to depression and premature death. In a world growing older, we examine the impact of age prejudice in a conversation that challenges and inspires. Guests: Mary Hynes, advocate for older adults with the lived experience of 80 years; Kyrié Carpenter, "Crone-in-Training" and co-founder of Old School Hub; and Dr. Samir Sinha, geriatrician, director of health policy research at the National Institute on Ageing.

Liberal leadership contenders face off

Liberal leadership contenders faced off in two debates this week, and the stakes were high, with the winning candidate set to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister and lead the party into the next election. The debates were dominated by the spectre of Donald Trump, with a central question being who can best lead Canada in this moment of national crisis. Our political panel, Toronto Star Deputy Bureau Chief Alex Ballingall, Ottawa bureau reporter Ryan Tumilty, and Abacus Data CEO David Coletto, join host Althia Raj to break down what we learned about the candidates and perceived frontrunner Mark Carney's weaknesses. Liberal MPs Randy Boissonnault and Francis Drouin also weigh in on their choices for the next Liberal leader. Some of the clips this week were sourced from CPAC, the Liberal Party of Canada, the podcast "The Rest Is Politics" and Global News. This episode of "It's Political" was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.
