Dr. Cynthia Stuen, is the Main Representative from The International Federation On Ageing to the United Nations, the Chair of the NGO New York Committee On Ageing, and a leader in advocacy for Human Rights of older adults. Doctor Stuen gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the United Nations Open-Ended Working Group On Ageing as it explores the gaps in human rights for older adults worldwide. In 2024 a core group will report on the need to cover specific rights for older persons, and methods of monitoring how nations enforce those rights. This report may become part of the very first convention, which is a document like a treaty that will have influence in the lives of millions of older people. Doctor Stuen explains how you can impact age and  gender equality and lend a voice to the campaign for human rights that includes all of us. Let's make the slogan, Nothing About Us Without Us, a reality.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3240049/advertisement

Jeff Rubin is the author of Wisdom of Age and the seminal video series Senior Moments. I speak with a true visionary and artist on what it means to be older, how we see ourselves and others, and why ageism is so "sticky." Can we ever escape from our age-essential attitudes? How do we transcend our self-age prejudices? Why do some elders continue to contribute to the community, and others as wealthy and healthy withdraw? Which one will you be as you age?This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3240049/advertisement

Since the Generation Bold Podcast aired six years ago, partially because of Covid and partially because the baby boomers are aging, we have all taken a fresh look at senior residential communities, from past failures to the new, uplifting way they offer care. Kin Village displays all the attributes of the latest trends in assisted living and continuing care residential communities. The Kinsman, a service club, started the organization about a half-century ago. From humble beginnings, Kin Village now serves hundreds of people every day. The community center's hub offers programs and services around what residents love to do, including jazzercise and ballroom dancing. You will discover: · How to assess a residential community, not only for the activities it provides but for the encouragement and inclusion that engages you or your loved one to participate. · How ageism is still an issue in some residences, and what you can do about it. · How the tide is turning to less ageist views and what it can mean to a vibrant senior residential community. Dan is on the board of the International Federation on Ageing. You will hear the challenges and issues, including older women, technology, environmentalism, and healthcare equity, the IFA is tackling now and at its 16TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE on July 27 in Bangkok, Thailand.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3240049/advertisement

Doctor Erasmus is the author of Fats that Heal Fats that Kill. In my interview with him we cover what fats are, the difference between Omega 6 and Omega 3 and why low fat diets are not the path to weight loss or health. The relationship between low IQ, attention deficit disorder and even depression  to low fat diets. We look at how to store oils in the correct way to keep them potent. Low fat diets have been marketed effectively to the public. But perhaps we should instead be thinking of right fat diets rather than low fat.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3240049/advertisement

Liz Parrish is one of the bravest and most controversial figures in the exploding field of Longevity. She is not a scientist but may have more impact on geroscience than those who are. Liz is called ”Patient Zero” because she has used herself as a guinea pig for gene therapy to reverse aging and live better with her Type 1 Diabetes. The unapproved FDA procedure required Parrish to go to Colombia and other countries for treatment. The Result… look at her picture. Her biological age dropped five years every year after her treatments, done in 2015 and in 2020. She is biologically 25, chronologically in her forties, and started with a 66-year-old biomarker profile when suffering from Type I diabetes. She is an innovator, and an investor and promotor of Gene therapy for Longevity. Her company,  BioViva, asserts that governments, including the US, must look at gene therapies to have a shot at healthy Longevity. Some say she is a profit of the future, and some that she is exposing people to undo risk. But Liz is now helping those interested in gene therapy by taking them off-shore for medical tourism to get procedures unavailable in many first-world nations, including the US. How do you feel about efforts for extreme Longevity? Get the picture on our Generation Bold Podcast: The Fountain of Truth as I interview Liz, a canny and sophisticated ambassador for transhumanism and radical Longevity.

Esther Dyson is the executive founder of Wellville, a 10-year nonprofit project dedicated to demonstrating the value of long-term investment in health and equity. The benefits accrue over time and not always to the investors directly, but overall human bodies and minds are the key to the collective future. Wellville wants to show what it looks like when humans act on that fact. Wellville works in five small communities (Clatsop County, OR; Lake COunty, CA; Muskegon County, MI; North Hartford, CT; and Spartanburg, SC), advising local leaders on scaling local initiatives in areas such as early childhood development, diabetes/obesity reduction, mental health support/trauma-informed care. It advocates a data-rich approach with learning and accountability along the way. Esther spends the other 50% of her time exploring new space, health and IT start-ups and technologies, writing about them and actively (and with full disclosure) investing in some of them.
