Description

David Stewart, founder of AGEIST magazine and thought leader, brings in a range of high-profile guests to share their secrets of living your best life with regards to: wellness, health, fitness, finance and relationships.There is no shortage of advice, role models or influencers for those under 40. But these seem to disappear once you hit your prime. And at a time when media and brands really don’t understand, market or speak to any generation above the age of 40, our goal is to shine a light on a positive mindset and way of living for those over 40, over 50, over 60 and over 70.The SuperAge podcast helps paint the picture of living your best life, aging well and healthy aging. Pro-aging as a counterbalance to ageism. We have a positive approach to healthy aging, personal goal setting, relationships, style, culture, community and living with purpose. AGEIST provides a new outlook on longevity, healthy aging, and aging well. Health and Wellness: When we talk about wellness for those of us over 40, over 50, over 60 or over 70, it is all science-based. You will learn about hormesis and homeostasis, the benefits of heat and cold exposure, and the importance of community to our longevity. Scientists and experts discuss: the important role sleep plays in our overall health, breathing techniques to reduce stress, light therapy, cortisol, heart health, and biohacking. We also cover brain health, neuroplasticity, curiosity, and novelty.Nutrition and Diet: Food and nutrition advice for those over 40, over 50, over 60 and over 70 are based in science as well. Everything from hydration, supplements, collagen, fasting, micronutrients, macronutrients, autophagy, and cellular clean up all help in increasing longevity. As we age, when we eat is just as important as what we eat – especially for women entering perimenopause and menopause. SuperAge experts discuss: how much water we need for proper hydration, the importance of keeping up our bone density, and why adding 15 colorful foods a day is helpful for gut health.Fitness and Exercise: We’ve grown up hearing about the importance of exercise. But for fitness over 50 and to increase longevity, weight lifting, aerobic activities and HIIT (high intensity interval training) sessions play an important role. At AGEIST, we believe in tracking not just our activity, but our recovery time as well. It’s in the recovery that our body does the work to improve our overall health and fitness.Meditation: Reducing stress and lowering anxiety can play a big role in improving overall health. Learn how reducing stress from traumatic events, job strain, and finances can slow down the aging of our immune system. Meditation - guided or on your own is an important tool for reducing stress and anxiety. Travel and Culture: It’s all about the adventure. Travel is a favorite activity for those of us in our 50's, 60’s, 70’s and 80'. Hear from experts on the best places for travel over 50, what to wear over 50, and how to make the most of your time in retirement years. Finance: We approach finances through the lens of what proper financial planning and budgeting can do for your lifestyle after 50. Our retirement experts discuss: lifetime income, retirement planning, saving and investing, the stock market, IRAs, and 401k plans. Career: Professional endeavors do not end at the typical retirement age anymore. We are seeing more and more encore careers, passion careers, entrepreneurs, and breaking of the glass ceiling. AGEIST believes that diversity and inclusion in business and in life are enriching for us all. How will you SuperAge?
