Angela welcomes Dan Levitin, author of "Music as Medicine," to explore the profound impact of music on our biology and mental health. They discuss how music affects neurotransmitters and hormones, the intricate process of how we perceive sound, and the emotional connections we form with music. Dan shares insights on the therapeutic applications of music for conditions like anxiety and depression, emphasising the importance of personal music preferences in achieving relaxation and emotional healing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Music affects the biology of the brain by modulating neurotransmitters and hormones, which can preserve health, cure injuries, and act as a preventative measure against illnesses. Sounds, including music, are closely tied to emotional experiences. The emotional weight of a sound can enhance memory encoding, making certain songs evoke vivid memories from specific times in life. The effects of music are highly individual; what is calming for one person may be energising for another. Personal preferences play a crucial role in how music influences mood and physiological responses. Music can be beneficial in treating mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. For instance, sad music may help individuals feel understood during depressive episodes, while personalised music selections can effectively reduce anxiety. BEST MOMENTS "We've come to discover in the last 10 years or so with rigorous scientific studies, exactly how music affects the biology of the brain in particular, how it can be health preserving." "If you think about watching a movie, for example, and there's a scary scene in the movie, the music that comes before it can prime us to reach that level of anticipation." "A general principle of memory is that those things that carry the most emotional wallop are the things that get encoded into memory more quickly." "The dopamine hit we get from music, we come by honestly and authentically and organically. It's not addictive in the same way that drinking when you're thirsty is not addictive."

We can easily stereotype those we believe are susceptible to a scam. But the scammers are keeping up with current events and are prepared to take advantage of our basic human emotions. The impact of these frauds is underreported due to the shame and embarrassment.  Today's guest is Alan Castel. Alan is a Psychology professor at The University of California Los Angeles. He studies learning, memory, fraud, and aging. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Time Magazine.

[10:05] - There are people who are much more vulnerable to scams, but it's not based on stereotypes.

[15:33] - Although scams don't only target older adults, the elderly tend to be more susceptible to scams that target their need to help others. [18:19] - There are some phrases that aren't always recognized as false because they sound scientific.

So roughly between 60 to 74, it is at its peak and before you retire and throughout your adult working phase, it starts out pretty low in early to late twenties, but it's steadily increases and increases so that as you get settled into your career and become senior and established, you tend to on average leave your career on a high note. You're flourishing, but it gets better. And that's the point I want to make, that it's the first decade at least of retirement. People are doing really well on average. It's the problems that come with if we live long enough. And by that I mean roughly past the age of 75 plus and more and more of us are. We see a downturn in flourishing and an increase in languishing towards the end of life." On Activities That Promote Flourishing "... five of the activities stood out among people who were flourishing, who they did more of the following. They engaged in more forms of helping behavior. It might be volunteering, helping people, or even living your purpose. Go out there and help someone or help something in the world and make it better. The second vitamin, that flourishers did more of was that they connected, prioritizing warm, trusting relationships. Relationships where they had a sense of belonging, where they were part of a community and relationships where they mattered. And by that I meant they were needed. And in my measurement of flourishing, the sense of contributing worth and value to the world is baked into flourishing. So the second thing they did more of was connect around warmth, trust, belonging, and mattering. The third was they were very active in learning something new and prioritizing personal growth.

Syndicated columnist, author, and lecturer, Helen Dennis specializes in aging and the new retirement. Her more than 1,000 “Successful Aging” columns for the Southern California News Group reach 1.2 million readers weekly.  About Helen Helen Dennis is a nationally recognized leader on issues of aging and the new retirement with academic, corporate and nonprofit experience. She has received numerous awards for her university teaching at the University of Southern California's Davis School of Gerontology and for her contributions to the field of aging, the community, and literary arts. As one of the nation's leading experts on preparing for the non-economic aspects of retirement, she has worked with over 25,000 employees at corporations, universities, and religious institutions to do just that.  Editor of two books, author of over 100 additional articles and frequent speaker, Helen is co-founder of Renewment®: and co-author of the Los Angeles Times bestseller, "Project Renewment: The First Retirement Model for Career Women" (Scribner).  She has been recognized by PBS Next Avenue as one of the 50 influencers in aging.

Other key themes include loss—of loved ones, physical ability, and jobs—caregiving, and cognitive health. There is a shortage of geriatricians in the U.S.—approximately 7,500 board-certified geriatricians for nearly 56 million people 65 and over in the U.S.  Workplace and retirement are big issues for older adults—finding a new identity and sense of purpose as overarching themes. Dennis recommends taking a breath and thinking about what brings pleasure and joy. Aging is a hard sell. We need to figure out how to make it palatable and aspirational. Aging needs to be framed in both realistic and positive terms with a focus on opportunities.

What if I told you that there is something simple and free that most of us can do daily for an hour or less that yields amazing physical and mental benefits? Would you want to know what it is? Since the pandemic has forced us to take a closer look at our habits and make some changes, I want to share this life-changing activity that has become an almost daily habit for me. It's hiking! Incorporating a midday hike several times each week helps me sleep better at night and stay centered for daily tasks.

Today we are focusing on a program that HIP is offering through the Foundation of Art & Healing called "Successful Aging Creativity Circle". During our discussion we talk about: 1. What is the Successful Aging Creativity Circle? 2. Why are offerings like this necessary for a healthy community? 3. What is the goal of this program? 4. What has been Rene's favorite part of this program so far? 5. If Rene could snap her fingers and solve one issue facing the aging population on Deer Isle-Stonington, what would it be? 6. How do people reach HIP to sign up? 7. What other community resources does HIP provide that my listeners should know about? 8. What is bringing Rene joy right now? The following are topics used in the Successful Aging Creativity Circle: What does healthy mean?

Getting older is something to celebrate according to today's guest Cathleen Toomey, of the RiverWoods Group. But there are also realties to plan ahead for and adjust to along the way. You'll want to do your homework and get sound advice so you're well-educated on the options available for you to consider. And if you're planning to age in place, you'll want to hear what Cathleen has to say about that option. Cathleen Toomey joins us from New Hampshire. __________________________ Bio Cathleen Toomey has led the sales and marketing efforts of the RiverWoods Group since 2007, during a period of expansive growth, when the organization doubled their size. She has done a TEDx talk "Secrets to Successful Aging"; and is a frequent presenter.  In 2021, she launched a podcast, Seniority Authority, "Let's Get Smarter About Growing Older” to answer questions on aging. New Hampshire PBS recently aired a short series featuring Cathleen's Seniority Authority content. Prior to RiverWoods, Cathleen's extensive brand building experience included work for Timberland, Stonyfield Farm, Babson College and Bentley University. A graduate of Fordham University (MA) and Fairfield University (BA), Cathleen began her career in ad agency work in New York City. _____________________________ For More on Cathleen Toomey Insider's Guide: Choosing a Continuing Care Retirement Community Seniority Authority podcast Video series on New Hampshire PBS RiverWoods Exeter website _____________________________ Podcast Episodes You May Like Where Will You Live Next? – Ryan Frederick An Anti-Ageist Second Act Business – Jan Golden Are You Ready for The New Long Life? – Andrew Scott Where to Retire – Silvia Ascarelli ______________________________ Mentioned in this Podcast Episode Arthur Brooks Robert Waldinger _____________________________ Wise Quotes On Celebrating Aging "I am very positive about aging. I think aging is a great thing because if you're not aging, you're dead! So don't we want to celebrate the fact that we are living another day, another month? Yes. Is aging hard? There's no question. It's hard. It comes with losses, it comes with emotional losses and financial losses and losses of friends and spouses and sometimes even children. It is not easy, but it is better than the alternative. Not everyone gets the gift of aging. So I would like personally for the world to start appreciating aging instead of denigrating it. Celebrate it! Don't denigrate it. Don't beat up on yourself because here are things you can't do anymore."   On Planning for Long-Term Care "You need to be prepared to be able to think about care. And the more prepared you are, the more you plan ahead, the more choices you have and the better you'll feel about it. Because you're going to be thinking about what your needs will be. Don't stick your head in the sand and pretend it's never gonna happen to you. Then you will have an advantage over most other people. Most other people are not thinking about this."   On Aging in Place "The biggest fallacy that people have when they think about retirement is they say, "I'm going to age in place" and I'm putting quote marks in for your listeners age in place. Age in place means nothing. Age in place is a way to say, I'm going  to stay in my house and ignore the world and myself changing. So if you want to age in place, you have to modify your home. You have to set aside money for internal caregivers. You have to make a plan, you have to share it with your financial advisor, your kids, et cetera. You can't just stay in your home and say, I'm aging in place - because that's not a plan. So my big message to to your listeners is no matter what age you are, assuming you're let's say over 60, make a plan, cost it out, share it with your financial advisor, your elder care attorney, your attorney, your kids and and think about that.

Have you ever worked on being more mindful? It takes practice and patience. But mindfulness may help you age wisely. Berit Lewis, author of Ageing Upwards: A Mindfulness-based Framework for the Longevity Revolution, believes so. In her view, "Ageing isn't about decline. It's about transition."  Listen in for how mindfulness can enhance your life in the years ahead. Berit Lewis joins us The Netherlands. __________________________ Bio Berit Lewis is an accredited MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) Teacher, trained in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and also trained at Mindfulness in Schools Foundations (MiSP) to teach .B Foundations for teachers. She is a category 1 member of VMBN (Vereniging Mindfulness Based Trainers Nederland en Vlaanderen) and holds a BA (Honours) in Psychology, a MA of Communication and a MSc of Vitality and Ageing. She has extensive experience in teaching MBSR courses in groups or to individuals. Recently as part of her master thesis at Leyden Academy for Vitality and Ageing she developed, taught and researched an online Mindfulness Based Vitality and Ageing (MBVA) course for older persons. She has previously also developed a successful mindfulness course for teenagers. Before founding Thriving Life she worked as a communication - and PR - specialist in Denmark and Australia – including 10 years as a communications specialist at the Danish Defence. Berit is Danish, married to a Welshman and lives in the Netherlands with two teenage children. ____________________________ For More on Berit Lewis Ageing Upwards: A mindfulness-based framework for the longevity revolution Thriving Life (Website) Berit's Blog and Newsletter ______________________________ Podcast Episodes Honest Aging – Rosanne Leipzig, MD & PhD Chatter & Your Inner Voice – Ethan Kross Are You Living Gratefully? – Kristi Nelson Retirement Planning Includes Getting Good at Getting Older – Rabbi Laura Geller _______________________________ Wise Quotes On Successful Aging "I really think that that whole term Successful Aging is hugely misleading. So, it's success criteria for, for what? To avoid ageing? To stay young.? And it also really feeds into this whole story we have in our culture about aging being bad and it's something we should avoid. Ageing is not about decline. It's about transition. And so if we want to really use the term Successful Aging, I think the success criteria should be more how to embrace these transitions - according to what each one of us and as individual thinks is important to us. And the four skills that I mentioned in my book, Ageing Upwards,  is to be aware of this ability to change our mindset, to see things in a different perspective and, and to be able to broaden out our awareness so that we can meet all the challenges we see with affection and self-compassion." On Mindfulness "That whole idea about being in the present moment and relaxing is a part of mindfulness. It helps us to practice our ability to pay attention to the present moment, and for some people it also helps them calm down their nervous system. But I think there's so much more to mindfulness than just being present. The true benefit from mindfulness really lies when we start to see, to gain this awareness as I explained before, so we are not just in the present moment, but we are aware of being in the present moment. It's like this extra layer of it."   On Learning to Practice Mindfulness   "Unfortunately, mindfulness is not a quick fix. I wish it was. It takes a lot of time and effort and it can also be unpleasant because we are seeing things that we might not want to see. And instead of running away from discomfort and pain, we're turning towards it and meeting it with curiosity. So that's what you have to be prepared for. And what's funny is a lot of people, whenever I teach mindfulness, they come back to me after maybe three weeks and say,

As we age, where we live matters, but more importantly, we need to ask ourselves a question: What can I put in place that gives me independence, quality of life, dignity, wellness, and allows me to do what I love?   As families and older adults, we face decisions, and at times need to contemplate our next move. The emotional struggles and stigmas around a potential move to a community or setting up more support at home weigh on our minds.   My guest today is Catherine Owens, Owner of CLO Consulting & Author of Be Your Own Hero: Senior Living Decisions Simplified, Senior Living Industry expert, and Aging Well authority.   In her book and in our conversation today, we look at making proactive and educated decisions, rather than making decisions in crisis, and understanding the difference between aging in place and putting in place tools to age well. Catherine urges us as families and older adults to have difficult but necessary conversations so we can understand the decision process and how it can benefit families and the senior living communities that they're considering. We look at how we define independence and quality of life, changing the idea and redefining what successful aging looks like by putting in place what we need to continue aging well.   It's important that we ask those important questions: What environment will support the quality of life that I want to have? I loved this conversation with Catherine as she's bringing together the two worlds of senior living and aging in place. This is an important conversation as she calls us to be our own heroes, be proactive, and educate ourselves on all that's available so we can have a life full of purpose, joy, and meaning.

All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome the President of Talk About Aging, Janice Goldmintz. Talk About Aging was founded in 2016. Janice helps children and their aging parents get in sync, any age, any stage. Janice's expertise came through both academic and personal experiences. With her Master's degree in Gerontology she was given wide insight into what can be done to assist our seniors in creating the highest quality of life possible, no matter what the challenges may be. As a child of older adult parents, she had to sift through many options, changes and emotional situations which allowed her to help bring families together to create peace of mind and accord. What Janice provides is a way to untangle the overwhelm, whether from medical issues, family dynamics or work/life issues. About 6 Not-So-Secrets to Successful Aging: Our older adults deserve to live their life with the highest degree of quality. These 6 not so secrets address many of the challenges that face our seniors. They also focus positive light to what can be accomplished to create a meaningful and joyful life at any age. The topics we look at range from attitudes we have about aging to helping others create their best life. These are now no longer secret-and now we can have our older adults move forward and plan for a very positive future.

In recent decades, the North American public has pursued an inspirational vision of successful aging—striving through medical technique and individual effort to eradicate the declines, vulnerabilities, and dependencies previously commonly associated with old age. On the face of it, this bold new vision of successful, healthy, and active aging is highly appealing. But it also rests on a deep cultural discomfort with aging and being old. The contributors to Sarah Lamb's Successful Aging as a Contemporary Obsession (Rutgers UP, 2017) explore how the successful aging movement is playing out across five continents. Their chapters investigate a variety of people, including Catholic nuns in the United States; Hindu ashram dwellers; older American women seeking plastic surgery; aging African-American lesbians and gay men in the District of Columbia; Chicago home health care workers and their aging clients; Mexican men foregoing Viagra; dementia and Alzheimer sufferers in the United States and Brazil; and aging policies in Denmark, Poland, India, China, Japan, and Uganda. This book offers a fresh look at a major cultural and public health movement of our time, questioning what has become for many a taken-for-granted goal—aging in a way that almost denies aging itself. Rachel Pagones is an acupuncturist, educator, and author based in Cambridge, England. Her book, Acupuncture as Revolution: Suffering, Liberation, and Love (Brevis Press) was published in 2021.

Cathleen Toomey speaks my gerontology language. She isn't a gerontologist, but she knows a lot about the aging process and has worked with a lot of older adults. A lot more than me. She understands how our experiences through our lifecourse impact our health and longevity. And today we talk about something you may never have thought could kill you early…loneliness. We also talk about a lot of other things that impact the aging process that we don't normally cover in the biohacking world, but are just as important, if not more. Cathleen Toomey reached out to share her podcast Seniority Authority and when I browsed through the titles and watched her TedX talk “The Secret to Successful Aging”, I was convinced we needed to talk. Cathleen is in charge of marketing and sales of the RiverWoods Group communities. This is an independent living community for active people where she has been working for the last fourteen years and where she has engaged with and observed older adults, their issues, concerns and passions. She's learned a lot about aging through these folks. Cathleen is a board Member of Womenade and is a volunteer at the St. Vincent de Paul Food PantryShe's a graduate of Fordham University with a masters in communications.
