Rory McGowan speaks with Nick Sanderson, the CEO of the Audley Group, to talk about new research into retiree types and how knowing what retirees are after shapes how retirement villages are built. They talk about how older people are adventurous than the stereotypes would have people believe and how these villages are designed with that in mind, combatting lonliness and other problems that older people face in the 21st Century.
BUFFALO, NY — October 1, 2025 — A new #research paper #featured as the #cover of Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US was published on August 21, 2025, titled “Sex-specific longitudinal reversal of aging in old frail mice.” The study, led by first author Cameron Kato and corresponding author and Aging-US Editorial Board Member Irina M. Conboy from the University of California, Berkeley, reports that a combination of oxytocin and an Alk5 inhibitor (OT+A5i) significantly extended both lifespan and healthspan in frail, elderly, male mice. These rejuvenating effects were not seen in female mice, highlighting key biological differences between the sexes in their response to aging therapies. The researchers tested a dual-drug approach targeting two biological pathways that change with age. Oxytocin, a hormone that declines with aging and supports tissue repair, was combined with an Alk5 inhibitor that blocks the TGF-beta pathway. TGF-beta becomes overactive with age and contributes to chronic inflammation and tissue damage. In this study, frail mice at 25 months of age—roughly equivalent to 75 human years—were treated regularly with the OT+A5i combination. Male mice receiving the therapy lived over 70% longer than untreated controls and showed significant improvements in physical endurance, agility, and memory. According to hazard ratio analysis, the treated males were nearly three times less likely to die at any given time than untreated males. “Treatment of old frail male mice with OT+A5i resulted in a remarkable 73% life extension from that time, and a 14% increase in the overall median lifespan.” The therapy also reduced “biological noise” in circulating blood proteins—an established marker of aging—bringing those levels back to a more youthful state. Short-term benefits, were seen in both sexes, however, after four months of continuous treatment, only the male mice showed sustained improvement in systemic protein balance. Female mice did not experience significant gains in lifespan or healthspan, though middle-aged females did show improved fertility after treatment. These results underscore the importance of understanding sex-specific biology when developing treatments for aging. While the reasons for these differences remain unclear, the findings provide a new model for studying and designing longevity therapies. Oxytocin is already FDA-approved, and Alk5 inhibitors are currently in clinical trials, suggesting that this approach could be translated to humans. With strong results in aged and frail male animals, OT+A5i appears to be a promising candidate for improving late-life health and survival.

An elderly woman was stabbed at an apartment in Machida, Tokyo, on Tuesday evening and died shortly after being transported to hospital.
Late at night, a young professional, worn out after several days of overtime, felt a sudden pang in her stomach. Scanning her medicine cabinet, she realized her pills had expired. Desperate, she picked up her phone. Within minutes, she found what she needed on a delivery app, discovered a 24-hour smart pharmacy, and even added a warm bowl of millet porridge and some steamed buns to her order. Less than 30 minutes later, the medicine and food arrived, taking care of both her hunger and pain. "More thoughtful than my boyfriend," she thought.深夜,一位年轻职场人连续加班多日后,突然感到胃部一阵绞痛。她查看药柜,发现常备药已经过期。情急之下,她拿起手机,几分钟内就在外卖平台上找到了需要的药品,还发现了一家24小时智能药房,顺便加购了一碗热小米粥和几个包子。不到30分钟,药品和食物就送达了,既缓解了饥饿,也减轻了疼痛。她心想:“比男朋友还贴心。”In another place, a mother preparing for a family feast faced a minor crisis: key condiments like soy sauce and black vinegar were missing from her online order. The nearest supermarket was far, crowded and inconvenient. With a mix of frustration and hope, she tried a flash-sale app. Within minutes, she found the missing items as well as attractive discounts, and added yogurt and nuts for her children to the order. Fifteen minutes later, a man knocked on the door, and delivered the items at prices lower than the supermarket and with far less hassle. The family feast went on without a hitch.在另一个场景中,一位母亲正在筹备家庭聚餐,却遇到了一个小麻烦:网购的订单里漏了酱油、陈醋等关键调味品。最近的超市距离远、人又多,十分不便。她带着一丝无奈和期待,尝试打开一款闪购APP。几分钟内,她不仅找到了短缺的调味品,还发现了优惠活动,于是又给孩子加购了酸奶和坚果。15分钟后,敲门声响起,商品送达,价格比超市还低,过程也省心不少。家庭聚餐得以顺利进行。In a county home, a young man heard that an old friend was passing through and would change trains at the local railway station in an hour. He wanted to gift a taste of home to his friend, but most stores were closed for the weekend. Then he remembered the local supermarket had partnered with an instant retail platform. Immediately, he ordered a gift set of local pastries and a new but popular tea drink, adding a note: "Please deliver quickly—urgent gift." About 25 minutes later, the package arrived. He met his friend at the station and gifted him a "piece of home"—a small but valuable gesture.在一个县城里,一位年轻人得知老友途经此地,一小时后将在当地火车站换乘。他想给老友带一份家乡味道当礼物,但周末多数店铺都关门了。这时他想起,当地超市与一家即时零售平台有合作。他立刻下单了一套本地糕点礼盒和一款新款热门茶饮,并备注“急需送礼,请尽快送达”。约25分钟后,包裹送到了。他到车站见到老友,送上这份“家乡味”——虽不起眼,却情谊深厚。These stories illustrate a larger shift reshaping China's consumer market: instant consumption. Defined by online ordering and immediate offline delivery, it is changing shopping habits and driving growth. During the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), instant consumption leapt forward, with improved infrastructure, richer consumption scenarios, and rapidly growing market scale, becoming a key driver of consumption upgrading and domestic growth.这些故事背后,折射出中国消费市场正在发生的深刻变革——即时消费。这种以“线上下单、线下即时送达”为核心的消费模式,正改变着人们的购物习惯,拉动经济增长。“十四五”时期(2021-2025年),即时消费凭借基础设施完善、消费场景丰富、市场规模快速扩大等优势实现跨越式发展,成为推动消费升级和内需增长的重要引擎。According to the China Chain Store and Franchise Association, the country's instant retail market is expected to exceed 1.4 trillion yuan ($196.3 billion) in 2025, with a projected five-year compound annual growth rate of 25 percent—a major driver of consumer vitality.中国连锁经营协会数据显示,2025年中国即时零售市场规模预计将突破1.4万亿元(约合1963亿美元),五年复合年均增长率预计达25%,成为激发消费活力的重要力量。The magic of instant consumption lies in turning fleeting, fragmented or urgent needs into actual purchases. "Want it now" becomes "get it now"; "might need it" turns into a confirmed order. By meeting immediate needs, extending shopping hours, and reaching more places, instant consumption generates new demand and reshapes both business and consumer behavior.即时消费的魅力,在于能将转瞬即逝、零散细碎或紧急迫切的需求转化为实际消费。“现在想要”变成“现在得到”,“可能需要”变成“确定下单”。通过满足即时需求、延长购物时间、拓展服务范围,即时消费不断创造新需求,重塑商家经营模式与消费者行为习惯。Time has become an even more precious commodity in busy cities. Whether it's water, a meal, medication or office supplies, instant delivery has brought down waiting time to minutes, thus reducing mental strain and freeing up hours. Beyond emergencies, it changes expectations: instant service is now standard, not a perk. Small, frequent demands—an umbrella during sudden rain, late-night snacks while working overtime—are now easily met, turning previously latent needs into real consumption.在快节奏的城市生活中,时间愈发珍贵。无论是饮用水、餐食、药品还是办公用品,即时配送将等待时间缩短至分钟级,不仅减轻了人们的心理压力,还节省了大量时间。除了应对紧急情况,即时消费还改变了人们的预期:即时服务已从“额外福利”变为“标配”。突发降雨时需要的雨伞、加班时想吃的夜宵等高频小额需求,如今都能轻松满足,原本潜在的需求转化为了实际消费。Instant consumption is also breaking the traditional boundaries of retail hours. Convenience stores and e-commerce offer 24-hour options, but instant retail provides true round-the-clock response. Workers on the nightshift, students and spontaneous shoppers can get what they want at hours when brick-and-mortar stores are closed, creating a new consumption pattern: midnight snacks, emergency hygiene products, even replacement phone chargers.即时消费还打破了传统零售的时间限制。便利店和电商虽提供24小时服务,但即时零售实现了真正的“全天候响应”。夜班工作者、学生以及临时有购物需求的人,即便在实体店铺关门时段,也能买到所需商品,催生了夜宵、应急卫生用品、手机充电器替换等新消费场景。Consumers no longer need to travel to a store; goods come to them. Urban centers, residential areas, offices and even underserved outskirts enjoy the same access. Rain or shine, umbrellas or groceries are all delivered to your doorstep. Elderly residents in remote areas can now easily get daily necessities. By removing the barriers of distance, instant consumption has made shopping more inclusive and unlocked untapped demand.消费者无需再前往店铺,商品会主动“送上门”。无论是城市中心、居民区、办公区,还是服务相对薄弱的郊区,都能享受同等便捷的服务。无论晴雨,雨伞或生鲜食材都能送达家门口;偏远地区的老年人也能轻松买到日常生活用品。通过打破距离壁垒,即时消费让购物更具包容性,释放了此前未被挖掘的需求。Digital technology is powering all this. Big data, AI and recommendation algorithms allow platforms to anticipate needs, adjust inventory and optimize delivery in real time. While hot drinks and hotpot appear on your app when temperatures suddenly drop, the right promotions pop up during holidays. Even location or weather data inform personalized suggestions. This precision doesn't just improve efficiency, it also awakens latent needs, turning spontaneous ideas into confirmed purchases and continuously creating new demand.这一切的背后,是数字技术的支撑。大数据、人工智能(AI)和推荐算法让平台能够预判需求、实时调整库存并优化配送路线:气温骤降时,APP首页会推送热饮、火锅;节假日期间,精准的促销活动主动弹窗;地理位置、天气情况等数据还能提供个性化推荐。这种精准化服务不仅提升了效率,更唤醒了潜在需求,让“突然想买”变成“确定下单”,持续创造新的消费增长点。During the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), instant consumption is poised to reach wider areas and accelerate innovation. As the internet of things and autonomous-driving technologies mature, drone and driverless-vehicle deliveries are likely to scale up, reducing costs and shrinking response time. Service offerings will expand beyond physical goods to include instant medical consultations, home nursing and emergency repairs.“十五五”时期(2026-2030年),即时消费将向更广泛领域延伸,创新步伐也将加快。随着物联网、自动驾驶技术的成熟,无人机、无人车配送有望规模化应用,进一步降低成本、缩短响应时间;服务范围将从实物商品拓展至即时医疗咨询、居家护理、紧急维修等领域。Anchored by green, low-carbon priorities, the sector will increasingly adopt eco-friendly packaging, route optimization and resource conservation, laying the groundwork for high-quality, sustainable growth. As digital rural infrastructure advances, instant service networks will extend into the countryside, better meeting rural residents' immediate but diverse needs, and adding to the momentum of rural vitalization.以绿色低碳为导向,即时消费行业将更多采用环保包装、优化配送路线、节约资源,为高质量可持续发展奠定基础。随着农村数字基础设施的完善,即时服务网络将向农村延伸,更好满足农村居民多样化的即时需求,为乡村振兴注入新动力。The social and economic benefits are clear. Instant consumption improves distribution efficiency, boosts fragmented and situational demand, accelerates retail digitalization, and supports local supply chains, logistics and delivery employment. Beyond economics, it enriches daily life, boosts urban resilience, and plays a key role in emergency support and care for special people. Instant consumption has become a vital part of modern urban life, illustrating how China's economic development is meeting the Chinese people's aspirations for a better life.即时消费的经济社会效益显而易见:它提升了流通效率,激活了碎片化、场景化需求,加速了零售业数字化转型,还带动了本地供应链、物流及配送行业就业。除经济层面外,它丰富了日常生活,增强了城市韧性,在应急保障、特殊群体关怀等方面也发挥着重要作用。如今,即时消费已成为现代城市生活的重要组成部分,印证着中国经济发展正不断满足人民对美好生活的向往。instant consumptionn.即时消费 /ˈɪnstənt kənˈsʌmpʃn/instant retail marketn.即时零售市场/ˈɪnstənt ˈriːteɪl ˈmɑːkɪt/

Police are charging a 95-year-old woman with murder after she allegedly hit and killed a fellow resident at the Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on Coney Island. Plus, there will not be a casino in Times Square or Hudson Yards after committees tasked with reviewing proposals rejected Caesars Palace's plan and the Avenir Casino in Hudson Yards. And finally, a coalition of residents in Canarsie, Brooklyn, are pushing for a new community center. The push comes as the city is funding a feasibility study on the project, but advocates say officials need to do more.
Prosecutors say 95-year-old Galina Smirnova, who's charged for killing her roommate at a Brooklyn nursing home, has dementia. Also, the New York City Council is celebrating a judge's recent decision barring Mayor Eric Adams from allowing immigration officers on Rikers Island. Plus, New York City continues its push to eliminate piles of trash from sidewalks. And finally, multiple water main breaks have occurred in New Jersey this summer leading to boil water advisories and affecting some streets. Dr. Daniel Van Abs, expert on water resource management, explains some of the causes.
The Positive Aging Community recently hosted a discussion on the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program, featuring Ron Hess, Executive Director of Cherry Blossom PACE. The PACE program is a comprehensive healthcare solution designed to help older adults remain in their homes rather than moving to institutional settings. It provides a coordinated package of medical, physical, emotional, and social services, including transportation, delivered by a familiar team. Originating in San Francisco in the 1970s, PACE has expanded to over 180 programs across 33 states, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional Medicaid services. The program is available to individuals aged 55 and older who meet specific medical and residency criteria. While most participants are enrolled in Medicaid, PACE also accommodates those with Medicare or private pay options. The discussion highlighted the program's adaptability, its role in facilitating proactive care, and its partnerships with various healthcare providers. For those interested in starting a PACE program, the National PACE Association offers resources and guidance. The session emphasized the importance of reaching out to local PACE programs for personalized assistance and information.

Beauregard St., Ste. 110, Alexandria, VA 22311Who Is Eligible for PACE?Eligibility for PACE is determined by four basic criteria:Age 55 or olderResidency within a defined service area (determined by zip code)State-specific medical eligibility—typically requiring some assistance with daily living due to health conditionsAbility to be safely served in the communityEach program performs its own assessment to determine if participants can be safely supported outside of institutional settings. The Cherry Blossom PACE program, for example, serves Alexandria, Fairfax, and Arlington counties in Northern Virginia and provides transportation and home services within those regions.While most PACE participants are Medicaid recipients, qualifying for Medicaid is not a requirement. For those with Medicaid, care is typically covered in full. Participants without Medicaid may enroll via Medicare, or privately, paying a fixed monthly premium (often less than what a nursing facility would cost), with all specialty care, medications, and transportation included—no copays or deductibles.PACE is designed to be efficient: on average, states spend about 12% less on PACE enrollees compared to other Medicaid services. Importantly, the program has shown resilience to Medicaid funding changes, remaining largely insulated from recent cuts.PACE is much more than an adult day program or a simple provider network. It operates as both a health plan and provider, coordinating hands-on healthcare, specialty services, medications, and transportation. Cherry Blossom PACE, for instance, partners with local vendors, specialists, and service providers to deliver everything from home modifications to primary care, while maintaining a closed pharmacy model for safety and consistency.Even continuity with outside primary care providers is possible if a contract is in place. The essential principle is flexibility and individualized care planning. Home care, for example, can include assistance with meals, exercises, and companionship—tailored to each participant's daily needs and lifestyle.

Treating Lyme disease in elderly patients is one of the most complex challenges I see in my practice.Unlike younger adults, older patients often live with multiple health conditions. They may be taking many medications, which raises the risk of drug interactions. Kidney or liver function may be reduced, making it harder to clear antibiotics. And neurological symptoms from Lyme can increase the risk of falls, which can have devastating consequences in this age group.Standard guidelines don't always address these realities. What works well for a younger patient may not be safe—or effective—for someone in their eighties. That's why Lyme disease treatment in elderly patients requires individualized care.Every decision has to balance infection control with age-related vulnerabilities. Antibiotics may be necessary, but they can also increase risks like dehydration, C. difficile infection, or secondary complications. Medications for neuropathy may relieve pain but could also cause sedation and falls. And we can't overlook the role of co-infections like Babesia or Bartonella, which make recovery even more complicated.As an ILADS guideline author, I've emphasized the importance of clinical judgment and patient-centered care. For elderly patients, that means more frequent monitoring, lower starting doses, and close coordination with family and caregivers. The goal isn't just to fight infection—it's to preserve function, independence, and quality of life.So here's the bottom line: elderly Lyme disease patients need more than standard protocols. They need individualized care that takes into account the whole person, not just the infection.”

For years, the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset reduced benefits for those who had rightfully earned them. Now that those policies are gone, many are left with questions. Eddie Holland joins us to help clarify what's changed and what it means for your retirement.Eddie Holland is a Senior Private Wealth Advisor and partner of Blue Trust in Greenville, South Carolina. He's also a CPA, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®).A Quick History of WEP and GPOThe Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), enacted over 40 years ago, reduces Social Security benefits for individuals receiving a non-covered pension—a pension from which no Social Security taxes were withheld. This often included employees in state and local government jobs, such as teachers, police officers, and firefighters.Similarly, the Government Pension Offset (GPO) reduced a spousal or survivor benefit for individuals in the same situation. These rules were designed to prevent “double-dipping,” but they often unfairly penalized modest-income workers, sometimes reducing their monthly Social Security checks by hundreds of dollars—or even eliminating their spousal or survivor benefits entirely.The Social Security Fairness Act of 2025That changed on January 5, 2025, when President Joe Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act. This legislation repealed both WEP and GPO, effective retroactively as of January 2024. As a result:Nearly 3 million Americans became eligible for retroactive benefits.Future monthly benefits for those affected have also been adjusted upward.This marks a significant win for many retired public servants who had long felt the weight of these provisions.What to Expect if You're AffectedThere are two phases of payments:Retroactive Payments – Starting in March 2025, some individuals received large one-time deposits representing the benefits they should have received since January 2024. These payments often arrived with little to no explanation, leaving many confused. Adjusted Monthly Benefits – Beginning in April 2025, Social Security began increasing ongoing monthly benefits for those impacted.It's important to note that these changes only apply to individuals with a non-covered pension, not all civil service employees.Steps to Take if You Think You QualifyIf you believe these changes may apply to you, Eddie recommends two simple steps:Check Your Account Online. Visit SSA.gov to log in to your account (or create one if you haven't already). Contact the Social Security Administration. If your account doesn't show any updates or you have questions, call 1-800-772-1213 or schedule an appointment at your local SSA office to speak directly with an agent.If navigating these changes feels overwhelming, consider consulting a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) who specializes in matters related to Social Security, who can help you make informed, faith-based financial decisions. You can find one in your area by visiting FaithFi.com and clicking “Find a Professional”. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 60 years old and planning to retire early at 62. I'd also like to pay off my house before I retire. Is that a smart move, and is it realistic given my current financial situation?I understand that retiring before my full retirement age will result in a reduction of approximately 8% per year in my Social Security benefit. How do Social Security cost-of-living adjustments factor into that reduction?My grandson wants to be added as an authorized user on my credit card to take advantage of my good credit score so he can get a lower interest rate on a car loan. Is that a wise decision?At what age am I required to start taking distributions from my 401(k)? Also, I have two family members—one with dementia and another recovering from a stroke. How can we protect their assets, such as their house and 401(k), if they need long-term care?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Social Security Administration (SSA.gov)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 4th Publish Date: September 4th PRE-ROLL: MONSTER JAM From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, September 4th and Happy birthday to Mark Ronson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett buying former Sears store at Gwinnett Place Mall New Bailey Circuit truck part of Monster Jam event at Gas South Arena this weekend Yellow Daisy Festival returns to Stone Mountain Park this week Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on apples All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MONSTER JAM STORY 1: Gwinnett buying former Sears store at Gwinnett Place Mall Gwinnett County just made another big move in its mission to transform the old Gwinnett Place Mall. This time? They’re buying the former Sears space—11.5 acres—for $11.5 million. Once slated for apartments, the property is now part of the county’s ambitious “Global Villages” vision: cultural hubs, green spaces, retail, restaurants, offices, and housing. Since 2021, the county’s been snapping up mall property—73.5 acres so far, plus land for a transit center. The Sears deal? Another step toward turning a faded mall into a thriving community centerpiece. STORY 2: New Bailey Circuit truck part of Monster Jam event at Gas South Arena this weekend Monster Jam’s got a new star rolling into town, and no, it’s not another beast with a name like Grave Digger or Megalodon. Meet Bailey Circuit—a colorful, tail-wagging, tongue-out monster truck inspired by Bailey, the robotic dog from Ringling Bros. Circus. Yep, a circus dog turned monster truck. Only in Monster Jam, right? Bailey Circuit, driven by 11-year Monster Jam veteran Brianna Mahon (aka “The Princess of Carnage”), made her debut this summer and is already stealing hearts. Catch Bailey Circuit and Mahon at Gas South Arena Sept. 6-7. STORY 3: Yellow Daisy Festival returns to Stone Mountain Park this week Stone Mountain Park’s 57th annual Yellow Daisy Festival is back, and it’s bringing over 400 artists from across the country. This isn’t just any arts and crafts show—it’s a nationally celebrated tradition, packed with handcrafted treasures you won’t find anywhere else. This year? Some fun new twists. There’s a Fresh Flower and Plant Garden where you can build your own bouquet, and a Children’s Entrepreneurs Market featuring young creators showing off their skills. Plus, the Vintage Village returns with antique finds, repurposed goods, and vintage-inspired fashion. The featured artist, Kate Lucas, found her love for watercolor during the pandemic. Admission’s free (just pay for parking), and there’s live music, food trucks, a beer garden, and plenty for the kids. It’s happening all weekend—don’t miss it! We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: GWINNETT FAIR STORY 4: Elderly woman dies after fire breaks out at Snellville home A heartbreaking Labor Day weekend in Snellville—an elderly woman lost her life after being rescued from her burning home, Gwinnett fire officials shared Tuesday. The fire broke out Sunday evening on Eastwood Drive. Neighbors called 911, reporting flames in the garage and smoke pouring from the crawlspace. They said the woman was trapped inside. Firefighters found her on the first floor, rushed her out to paramedics, but she passed away shortly after reaching the hospital. The fire started in the garage, though the cause remains unknown. Power lines were down, flames had spread fast, and by the time crews arrived, the garage was engulfed. STORY 5: State floating new rules for data centers The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is shaking things up with new rules to restart reviews of data center projects. Why the pause? Back in July, they hit the brakes after environmental advocates raised red flags, saying these massive facilities—huge energy and water guzzlers—weren’t being scrutinized enough. The proposed rules? Developers would have to spill the details on energy and water usage. Big centers (300,000+ square feet in cities, 500,000+ in rural areas) would face stricter reviews. A public hearing’s set for Sept. 9 in Atlanta, with comments open until Sept. 12. Final decisions drop Nov. 20 in Savannah. We’ll be right back. Break 3: 07.14.22 KIA MOG And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on apples Break 4: Ingles Markets 5 We’ll have closing comments after this Break 5: MONSTER JAM Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Consumer confidence has fallen to a 10-month low as the high cost of living and weak housing and labour markets continue to have an impact. The ANZ-Roy Morgan survey on Friday also revealed consumers' perceptions of their personal financial situations had fallen to their lowest level since October 2023. Financial mentors say the cost of living is particularly concerning for those on fixed incomes like pensioners. This week an RNZ survey showed even retirees who have paid off their homes are struggling as rates and insurance costs increase. Retirement Commissioner Jane Wrightson joins Susie Ferguson from Wellington.

Send us a textWide release date: August 25, 2025Episode Summary: Dr. Uffe Ravnskov talks about his decades-long career challenging the idea that high cholesterol causes heart disease, discussing LDL's protective role in the immune system by binding to bacteria, the harms and biases in statin research influenced by pharmaceutical companies, evidence that high cholesterol benefits the elderly and reduces infection/cancer risks, and how mental stress or infections elevate cholesterol as a response rather than a cause.About the guest: Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD is a physician and independent researcher who earned his MD from the University of Copenhagen in 1961 and a PhD in nephrology. He has worked in various clinics in Sweden since the 1960s, focusing his research on challenging the cholesterol hypothesis in heart disease. Now 91, he has published over 200 papers, authored books like "The Cholesterol Myths.”Discussion Points:LDL cholesterol helps the immune system by sticking to bacteria, clumping them for removal; low LDL increases infection risk.Animal studies show injecting LDL protects against lethal infections, while historical data links severe infections to worse atherosclerosis.Elderly people with high cholesterol live longer; low cholesterol raises mortality risk more than high levels.Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) doesn't cause early death via cholesterol alone—co-inherited coagulation factors are the issue, and FH patients often have lower infection rates.Statins lower LDL but increase infection risk, cause muscle weakness/brain issues (often blamed on aging), and show no clear benefit in unbiased meta-analyses.Research biases include cherry-picking studies, exaggerating benefits via relative (not absolute) risk, and pharma funding suppressing critical views.Mental stress can raise cholesterol by 10-50% in 30 minutes, often misread as a heart disease cause rather than an effect.Saturated fat and high cholesterol aren't proven harmful; Ancel Keys' claims ignored contradictory evidence.Stopping statins often reverses side effects quickly, improving quality of life.Related episode:M&M 244: Seed Oils & Heart Disease: Oxidized LDL, Cholesterol, Fat & Cardiology | Tucker GoodrichReference Paper:LDL-C does not cause cardiovascular disease: a comprehensive review of the current literature*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.
