Researchers believe this is due to the telomeres at the ends of our chromosomes often becoming shorter when cells divide.

This is a special edition of Ageless Lifestyles® Rather than an interview with an anti-aging expert, I am sharing a eight minute commencement address I gave for Fortis College, a private college for nurses and healthcare workers. So what advice did I give to those future nurses?

The story of Peter Pan concluded, “All of this has happened before and will all happen again.” Barrie could have applied the same intro to the more than 100 years of diet insanity in America. Previous diet ideas keep resurfacing like moles in an arcade Whack-a-Mole.

Cardiologists have focused on cholesterol as the cause of cardiovascular disease. Researchers are increasingly focusing on inflammation as the common denominator of cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses. Taking a very different perspective, Dr. Sergey Dzugan and Dr. George Rozakis in their new book, Your Blood Doesn’t Lie, make a strong case that the root cause of most chronic illnesses is hormone imbalance.

Wine and cheese can get better with age, but sex? The principal author of Sex & Love at Midlife: It’s Better Than Ever drew upon decades of clinical experience as a sex therapist and on interviews with 145 men and women ages 45 to 87. For some, sex gradually worsened with age, but for many, sex got better than ever. Sexologist Dr. Bernie Zilbergeld died before his book came to press this year. With us to share the fruits of his work is his brother and coauthor, Dr. George Zilbergeld.

Today’s program is on the causes and cures for cardiovascular disease. For this program I am made an exception to the usual format of interviewing experts and share two ten minute speeches I gave at Toastmasters on unconventional views of cardiovascular health. The first presentation is titled The Cholesterol Conspiracy. The second presentation focuses on what we can do to prevent or reverse cardiovascular disease. Here are some notes from the presentions:

It is hard to see the big picture trying to digest a pile of journal articles, press releases, or newsletter and newspaper articles. Barbara Strauch (pronounce Starch) is very talented at putting research in perspective with an appreciation of the importance of the quality of research design and a knack for writing about it in a way that speaks to both scientists and the public. She is the author of The Secret Life of the Grown Up Brain.I find her findings important in three ways:

We see someone who is obese and tend to think, if only they would reduce their calories and exercise, they wouldn’t be fat. Such simplistic concepts make getting fit and losing weight difficult, almost impossible for most of us.
