Who do you want as a hero—someone who swims six hours a day so he can swim a half second faster than everyone else, someone who is really good at catching a football, or someone who models living a long, healthy, happy life. I think our society is a little nuts with its hero worship of athletes, rock stars, and movie stars. Yes, they can teach us about focus and perseverance, but who can teach us how to live a good life? For that we need role models who have exceptional spiritual depth and deeds. We also need role models for how to navigate the largely unchartered territory of living well into your hundreds.
Centenarians, people 100 years old and older, are those role models. Lynn Peters Adler is has dedicated to documenting their lives and learning their secrets. She is the author of Centenarians: The Bonus Years and is Director of the National Centenarian Awareness Project. She recently played a key role in the Barbara Walters special, How to Live to be 150. And we have a special treat for you—in the second half of the show we will be talking with a centenarian who may have a richer social life than you do. Here are some photos of our centenarian guest Elsa Hoffmann:

There are lots of textbooks and manuals on aging but they are usually boring and rarely address nitty-gritty questions about aging. Lynette Padwa, author of Quick, Answer Me Before I Forget The Question, researched the facts of life on aging. She gives practical advice and does it with a great sense of humor. The show has fun looking at the facts of life about aging—and answers some questions you didn’t even know to ask.

We spend thousands of hours watching movies. We love stories. But when I ask people what they learned from movies, I get a deer in the headlights. What gives? Movies have such a big influence on us. Superman and Rocky make you feel more powerful. All you have to do is hear the music and you feel more powerful. You see a Fred Astaire movie, or a Saturday Night Fever, or Flash Dance, and you feel like dancing. Movie critic, Brent Marchant, author of Get the Picture, discusses how you can use movies and a conscious creation perspective to be more youthful and live longer, healthier, and happier.

Dr. Vincent Giampapa teaches how you can have a lot of influence on what genes get turned on and off. This in turn has a big effect on your health and longevity. Rather than a fixed destiny, your genes continuously dialogue with what is happening in your body and to in your environment.

Many of the most commonly performed medical procedures are ill advised and can do more harm than good. We go to our physicians and expect surgery of pills for our ills. Our physicians feel pressured to try to fulfill our expectations. Financial incentives provide little compensation for patient education but often richly reward performing procedures. Patients and physicians often don’t fully appreciate the statistics behind using evidence based medicine for choosing the best course of treatment. Or guest today is physician and physicist Dr. Alan Zelicoff, author of the brand new book, More Harm Than Good. If you or any family members are at risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, back pain or arthritis, you’ll want to be sure to listen and learn about how to avoid overtreatment and get the most effective treatment.

What you don’t know about healthcare can hurt you, even kill you. What if you knew how to get your doctor to focus on your goals, get the information you need from your doctor, and enjoy the process as well? What if you knew a little karate for getting specialists, hospitals, and nursing homes to do what they are supposed to do and share information with you? Would you like to know how to comprehend all those EOBs, bills, and statements? How about not paying $2 for an aspirin at a hospital? Would you like to know how to organize your medical records so you have the information when you need it and can even give it to your doctor?
Dr. Ruthann Russo teaches physicians and hospitals how to keep better records and provide better services. She teaches consumers how to navigate our disease care system to get the services they need. Her credentials include a Master’s degree in Public Health, a doctorate in Business Administration, and a law degree. Her brand new book is 7 Steps of Your Best Possible Healthcare.

Blood tests Dr. Brickey recommended everyone get at least once:
>homocystine –a common easily correctible cause of cardiovascular disease
>A1C –the best test to catch diabetes early
>iron –especially for men, make sure you don’t have too much (or too little)
>C-reactive protein –catches problems with inflamation early (inflamation is a leading contributor to cardiovascular diesease and many other diseases)
>VLDL –don’t settle for just total cholesterol, HDL and LDL level, the Very Low Density Lipids do the most damage.

What if you had a guardian angel to help protect you from chemicals that can cause health problems like asthma, seizures, tremors, dementia, and cancer. You do. The National Toxic Encephalopathy Foundation, a nonprofit organization, helps inform you and business about chemicals that can harm you and healthier alternatives to toxic chemicals.

Perhaps you are one of about 40 million Americans singles over forty. Perhaps you would like to find true love but do not know where to start, or have given up all together. Or maybe you have a friend or relative who asks you for advice on how to meet someone. Maybe your situation is comical — like author Robert Morris, whose book Assisted Loving describes how his 80 year old father asked him to help him find a mate, and even double date with him—which is even more bizarre as Mr. Morris says he is gay. Our guest today, Mary Rose Maguire coaches women and men over 40 in finding true love. Today she shares her strategies and secrets.

There are lots of how-to books and experts on what makes a marriage work. Often the authors of these books have had failed marriages. If Americans are listening to the marriage experts, it is not working as American divorce rates hover around 50%. Maybe we are asking the wrong experts. Sheryl Kurland interviewed 75 couples who have been married at least fifty years. She interviewed them as couples and interviewed them individually. She learned what these 75 real life experts have in common—and it’s not what you would think.
