Author and activist Ashton Applewhite joins Dori Mintzer to expose how ageism, more than aging itself, undermines health, purpose, and connection across the lifespan. Drawing on her book This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and her decades of work at the forefront of the anti-ageism movement, Ashton explains how internalized, interpersonal, and structural ageism show up in everyday life and what it takes to challenge them. She also introduces YODA (Youngers and Olders Dismantling Ageism), a new initiative inviting people of different ages to come together, talk about power, and build alliances for a more just, age-inclusive world.What We Talk AboutHow Ashton first “woke up” to aging and discovered how wrong most of our assumptions about later life really are.What ageism is, where the term came from, and how it operates alongside racism, sexism, and ableism.Internalized ageism and the everyday language and beliefs that limit both “youngers” and “olders”.Chrono normativity and why life is not a linear timeline with fixed ages for work, family, and retirement.Why the U.S. is highly age-segregated and how mixed-age relationships reduce prejudice and enrich everyone's lives.The origins of Old School: The Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse and its evolution into the Old School Hub.YODA: what Youngers and Olders Dismantling Ageism is, why it centers conversations about power, and how anyone can try it in their community, workplace, or family.Practical ways to respond to ageist comments, question generational stereotypes, and design more inter-age programs and communities.About the Guest: Ashton ApplewhiteAshton Applewhite is an internationally recognized expert on ageism and the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism. She is the co-founder of Old School, a global hub that curates free, anti-ageism resources and convenes people working to advance age equity around the world.​Ashton speaks widely at venues including the United Nations and the TED main stage, and has been a leading voice in making age a recognized dimension of diversity. In 2022, the United Nations named her one of the “Healthy Aging 50,” honoring 50 leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.Connect with Ashton ApplewhiteWebsite: This Chair RocksBook: This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against AgeismLinkedIn: Ashton ApplewhiteWhat to do next: Click to grab our free guide, 10 Key Issues to Consider as You Explore Your Retirement Transition Please leave a review at Apple Podcasts.

Dr. Paul Arciero kicks off the new year with a practical conversation on why our bodies crave a reset after “holiday overload”—the perfect storm of stress, sleep loss, travel, skipped workouts, and all the sugary, salty, processed extras. Dr. Paul explains why metabolism is often the first domino to fall, how sleep and eating patterns impact metabolic flexibility, and why getting back to a consistent daily rhythm (sleep, nutrition, work, and movement) helps you recalibrate your body's natural “chronobiology.” You'll also hear research-backed tips for timing exercise based on your goals—fat loss, muscle building, or stress relief—and how smart protein timing can support recovery and results.

Together, they unpack the loss of predictable connection, shifting family roles, grief, and the unrealistic expectation that we're all supposed to feel joyful this time of year.Dr. Jody shares why humans are biologically wired for connection, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how small, intentional moments of connection can be life-saving — not just during the holidays, but all year long.This episode is an invitation to slow down, lower the pressure, and remember that connection — not perfection — is what carries us through. CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!BiographyDr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human-centred problems. This rapidly disconnected world is leaving so many of us overwhelmed, lonely, and burned out. Dr. Jody boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; however, so many of us these days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good.Dr. Jody's work often involves understanding just how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together, and maybe most importantly, how we collectively do "the work" to find our way back home again when (not if) we lose our way. Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences.Dr. Carrington is the founder and principal psychologist at Carrington & Company, she's written three best-selling books, speaks on hundreds of stages globally each year, and hosts the widely celebrated podcast UNLONELY. In this modern world where we look all the time, but we don't see, where we listen but we don't hear, Dr. Jody is clear on one thing: we were never meant to do any of this alone.https://www.drjodycarrington.com/https://www.instagram.com/drjodycarrington/Support the show https://buymeacoffee.com/agelessglamourgirls www.linkedin.com/in/marqueetacurtishaynes www.agelessglamourgirls.com https://www.shopltk.com/explore/AgelessGlamourGirls https://www.youtube.com/@agelessglamourgirls Instagram @agelessglamourgirls Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agelessglamourgirls Private (AGG) FB Group: The Ageless Café: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theagelesscafe TikTok: @agelessglamourgirls Podcast Producers: Ageless Glamour Girls and Purple Tulip Media, LLC

Can you build healthspan in your 50s, 60s and beyond? In our episode 239 conversation, Jeff Weiss says yes—and he's got the miles to prove it. After his first 10K at 48, Jeff progressed to marathons, ultramarathons, and Ironman triathlons, discovering how structured training within smart guardrails, and the right mindset can unlock cardiovascular fitness, strength, confidence, and cognitive resilience in midlife. We explore practical ways to get started (and keep going), how to balance discomfort vs. danger, and why setting "big, hairy, audacious goals" fuels transformation far beyond sport. Jeffrey Weiss is an entrepreneur, former C-suite leader with a multi-billion-dollar exit, endurance athlete, and author of Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Midlife.

Intermittent fasting isn't just about calories—it's about timing. Michael J. Wilkinson, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.N.L.A., explains how time-restricted eating aligns daily food intake with the body's natural circadian rhythms. He shares insights from animal studies, clinical trials, and UC San Diego research showing how consolidating meals into an 8–10 hour window can improve glucose control, blood pressure, and metabolic health.

Is your body running on broken engines?We often obsess over what we eat, but we rarely think about how our cells process that fuel. If your mitochondria (the engines of your cells) are dysfunctional, it doesn't matter how perfect your diet is—you will feel tired, you will recover slowly, and you will age faster.In this episode, we sit down with Brad Currier, a PhD in muscle physiology and scientist at Timeline, to discuss Urolithin A—the breakthrough molecule that acts as a "recycling program" for your cells. Brad reveals why natural food sources are virtually impossible to rely on (you'd need to drink 1.5 liters of juice daily), how this molecule compares to fasting for longevity, and the shocking data coming out of studies with Olympic athletes.In this episode, you will learn:The "Junkyard" Theory: Why mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of low energy and poor recovery.Mitophagy Explained: How to trigger the selective breakdown of "zombie" mitochondria to build fresh, healthy ones.The Pomegranate Reality Check: Why you can't eat your way to therapeutic levels of Urolithin A (and the sugar cost of trying).Fasting vs. MitoPure: The difference between "global" starvation (fasting) and "surgical" cellular repair.Olympic Secrets: How elite runners are using this specific protocol to lower perceived exertion and muscle damage.The Future of Longevity: How this impacts not just muscle, but skin, immune health, and cognitive function.Timeline Mitopure Gummies: GET 20% Off Now!
