In this episode, we explore a fresh perspective on menopause and women's health with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) expert, Dr. Christopher Motley. He reveals how TCM can alleviate common menopausal symptoms by addressing hidden bacterial, viral, and fungal infections in your kidneys, liver, and bladder that He also explains why your thyroid medication might not be working, how emotions get trapped in your organs creating physical pain, and why that lower back pain could actually be a kidney infection you don't even know you have.

Today, we're continuing our conversation with Dean Rosnau. If you haven't listened to Part I yet, I highly recommend checking that out before diving into this episode.We pick up with one of the most personal and tragic stories in Dean's life: the loss of his close friend, Pete Schoerner, in an ice climbing accident. This part of the conversation is heavy—graphic at times—so please proceed with that in mind. But it's also an important story, one that opens the door to a deeper conversation around grief: how it manifests, how we process it, and what it looks like to live on the other side of profound trauma.From there, we shift focus to a more positive side of the SAR experience—a rescue that saved three skiers' lives after a cornice collapse on Mt. Dana. We explore why, despite the complex technical skill required and the real risk involved, nearly all search and rescue work remains volunteer. What does that mean for the people who do it—and what drives them to keep showing up?We also talk about the long-term emotional effect of saving a life. To witness someone you've rescued go on to live, have children, and impact the world—it changes something in the rescuer too.We close the episode by talking about Matthew Greene, a missing climber Dean has been searching for over the past 13 years. We go into the details of his disappearance, the painstaking efforts to find him, and the difficult question: when is it time to stop searching?You'll hear both Dean and I reference a book throughout this conversation—The Shortest Straw: Search and Rescue in the High Sierra. It's Dean's memoir, filled with some of the most powerful stories from his 35 years in SAR. This podcast only scratches the surface. I encourage you to grab a copy and dive deeper.

EPISODE 95 - “VIRGINIA GREY: Classic Cinema Star of the Month” - 7/07/25 If VIRGINIA GREY is remembered at all, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty is probably best remembered as the caustic perfume counter girl in The Women (1939), who sees right through the gold-digging ways of Crystal Allen, played by JOAN CRAWFORD. In these brief scenes, she is so charismatic and saucy, she really shows how to deliver a zinger of a line.

As we progress as climbers and inevitably turn our gaze toward higher peaks and more remote objectives, a common lesson begins to emerge: the mountains are a dangerous place to play. But early on, this remains a lesson heard, not truly learned. Inevitably, with enough time spent in remote places, something is bound to happen—either directly to us, or to someone close enough to sear this truth into our souls.From an early age, Dean Rosnau found himself brushing shoulders with death, learning not only that the mountains are dangerous—but that life itself is dangerous, and that our actions can carry severe consequences. Looking at your friend's body in a casket, and watching a fallen climber bleed out at the base of Bridalveil Falls all before the age of 10 would shape anyone. What Dean didn't know at the time was that the world was preparing him for some of the most challenging, demanding, and ultimately rewarding years of his life: those spent on the Search and Rescue team for the Eastern Sierra.Dean has since accumulated over 35 years of SAR work, recovered 66 bodies, and completed over 800 individual rescue missions—with more than 2.5 years of volunteer time spent away from his family, in the service of strangers.And this… is his story.We start part one of this conversation with Dean's origin story—how he grew up as a young climber surrounded by legends like John Long, John Bachar, Bob Gaines, and Lynn Hill. We go into two very close calls that nearly cost Dean his life, and explore how we—not just as climbers, but as humans—can play safer in the mountains. We also discuss how we can aid search and rescue find our bodies… alive or dead… in the event that we go missing in the backcountry.This is a deep—and at times heavy—conversation, with some stories and visuals that may not be appropriate for children. Please proceed with that in mind.You'll hear both Dean and I reference a book throughout this conversation: The Shortest Straw – Search and Rescue in the High Sierra. This is Dean Rosnau's educational memoir of some of the cases he's been involved in over his 35 years in SAR. While we reference a few of these stories here, this episode does no justice to reading the full thing. I highly encourage you to pick up a copy to truly understand the scope of Dean's experience in the mountains.

The interview with Ervina Wu, co-founder and CEO of Yina, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) skincare and wellness brand, provides a deep dive into her personal and professional journey, emphasizing the holistic philosophy of TCM. Ervina shares how her experience as a cancer survivor showcased TCM's power in restoring her appetite and energy, treating her as a whole person rather than just a diagnosis. The conversation highlights Yina's unique approach, which combines ancient TCM formulas with modern science to create products that benefit both the body and mind. Key products discussed include the Lumi Drops, a best-selling collagen gummies for hair health based on an ancient formula, incorporating a synergy of herbs like Fo-Ti with modern ingredients like collagen and biotin. Additionally, the interview features the Bio-cellulose Mask, made from a material used in hospitals for burn victims, infused with ginseng and peptides for hydration and healing, and the bian stone gua sha tool, a "cosmic stone" that predates acupuncture and emits ultrasonic pulses, designed for both facial and body circulation and lymphatic drainage. Ervina underscores the importance of ritual and consistent self-care in aging gracefully, embracing menopause as a "second spring," aligning with TCM's preventative care philosophy.

What's the best treatment for Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)? While answers are still emerging, we're getting closer.TSW is a misunderstood, drug-induced condition that goes far beyond typical eczema. Many sufferers feel dismissed by doctors since there's no formal diagnostic criteria and many dermatologists deny its existence. Yet symptoms like relentless itching, flaking, insomnia, “zingers,” and even depression can be life-altering.In this episode, I speak with Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman—a compassionate, research-driven Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who reveals how TSW differs from eczema, and explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the “toxic heat” behind symptoms. If you've been told “it's just eczema” or feel like nothing is working, this episode offers fresh hope and validation!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Connect with Dr. Friedman
This week's podcast episode is an insightful interview with Lisa Li, the founder of The Qi, a company dedicated to flower teas. Conducted in a serene New York City space, the discussion explores Lisa's personal health journey—from a challenging thyroid disease that was healed through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to her subsequent decision to create naturally caffeine-free herbal teas due to her sensitivity to caffeine. She highlights the medicinal properties and energetic balance of various flower teas, such as goji berries, chrysanthemum, and rose, explaining their roles as anti-inflammatory, detoxing, and nourishing agents. The interview delves into the philosophies of Eastern culinary traditions, emphasizing "light and gentle" flavors that support digestive health, contrasting them with Western preferences for "extra" flavors. A significant part of the conversation focuses on the importance of self-care and evening rituals for better sleep, advocating for herbal teas as a healthy alternative to addictive sleeping aids. Lisa also introduces several of The Qi's specific tea blends, explaining their benefits, ingredients, and the careful formulation process guided by TCM principles. Check out the show notes at https://thisismodernaging.com/podcast/ ABOUT LISA As a child who grew up Northeast of Beijing, I drank a lot of teas with my grandma. And those moments were some of the most nourishing and healing times of my life. Holistic wellness for me as a child was much like brunch… it was simply a way of a joyful life. After feeling stressed, anxious, and burnt out from working in the notoriously grueling fashion industry for 10+ years I desperately wanted to go back to a time and place where taking care of myself was simple and wonderful. In the beginning of 2018 I took a transformative trip with my mom to Shangri-la, Yunnan where I discovered the Rose tea the locals enjoy. It was so unique and special - it was like nothing I've ever had, it transported me to a whole new floral paradise universe. After tasting and testing over 100 flowering herbs and tens of thousands miles more traveled to source the finest ones The Qi was born. To bring you the most beautiful sensory tea ritual for a daily dose of Zen, beauty, and nourishment.

EPISODE 92 - “BORN TO BE BAD - Old Hollywood's Favorite Brats" - 6/16/25 This week, we're getting into the pint-sized punks, the tantrum-throwers, the eye-rollers, and the sharp-tongued little legends who strutted across the silver screen like they owned the studio. That's right—we're talking about our favorite bratty kids in classic movies. You know the type: too smart for their age, too bold for their britches, and way too good at stealing scenes from their adult co-stars. Whether they were lighting up the screen with sass or shutting it down with a glare, these kids were iconic—and let's be honest, a little terrifying. So buckle up, because we're about to revisit the child stars who threw shade before it was cool, and tantrums that deserved an Oscar. Let the chaos begin.

Today, we're picking up right where we left off with Petch Pietrolungo—climber, AMGA certified guide, free soloist, and the local legend of Lover's Leap in California. If you missed part one of this conversation, I highly recommend heading back and starting there—it'll give you a deeper appreciation for where we're going today.In this second part, we dive into Petch's journey to becoming an AMGA-certified guide and how he launched Lover's Leap Guides back in 2003. We take a close look at stewardship—what it really means, why it matters, and how we all can contribute to protecting the places we climb, even if we're not out there building trails or replacing bolts.We also get into Petch's relationship with free soloing—not as some reckless pursuit, but as a practice that's deeply personal, calculated, and, in his case, something he attributes to saving his life. He walks us through what it takes to move through the mountains with that kind of confidence, including a mind-blowing day where he soloed 112 pitches… and how those skills and systems carry over into offering large days of climbing to his clients.Finally we close the conversation off with a deeply personal look into Petch's battle with alcoholism… how it impacted his life, and his decision to live sober and fully present moving forward----HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW & GET ACCESS TO EXCLUSIVE EPISODES!

In this episode, Chitra Eder and I explore one of the most powerful yet often overlooked keys to well-being during perimenopause and menopause: the natural daily clock.Both Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine mapped out daily rhythms based on the flow of energy through the body and the world around us. Long before modern science spoke of circadian rhythms, these traditions understood how time, energy, and health are intimately connected.But in today's world, shaped by productivity culture, artificial light, and constant demands, we've lost touch with these natural cycles. The result? Exhaustion, poor sleep, erratic digestion, and emotional overwhelm that so many of us experience in midlife.In this episode, we discuss:* The Ayurvedic and TCM daily clocks what they are, how they differ, and where they beautifully align.* The impact of modern life and patriarchal systems on our natural rhythms.* How menopausal symptoms intensify when we're out of sync with biological time.* Simple, doable steps to reconnect with nature's flow, including meal timing, rest, and honoring your energy.You'll come away with fresh insights and practical tips to help you live more in tune with your body's natural intelligence, even in a fast-paced world. This is about listening, aligning, and gently reclaiming your rhythm.So here's a question we invite you to reflect on as you listen:What do you struggle with most when trying to harmonize your day with your natural daily clock?

We're going on vacation through the world of classic film! Yes, International Month is back. But unless the previous two years, where we did two movies from different countries, we're spending June in one country with a single director: Akira Kurosawa. TCM host and author of the new book TCM Imports: Timeless Favorites and Hidden Gems of World Cinema, Alicia Malone, joins us to kick things off with a look at one of several Kurosawa movies dubbed the best movie of all time. It's 1954's Seven Samurai. Kristen, Emily and Alicia explore the samurai genre, discuss this movie's influence on our conception of the American West, and thirst over Toshiro Mifune.

"MARK STEVENS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" The name MARK STEVENS probably doesn't ring a bell with moviegoers today. However, he's one of those actors who once you see him on screen, you say, “Oh, yeah, THAT guy!” Still, at one time, he was a very in-demand leading man who was always compelling and had a tough-guy likability that brightened up many a hum-drum movie. He may not have reached the upper echelon of fame like contemporaries ALAN LADD or DANA ANDREWS, but he certainly left his mark — particularly in “The Dark Corner” with a pre-TV LUCILLE BALL. Like CHARLES LAUGHTON, DICK POWELL, and IDA LUPINO, he also became a pioneer of the actor-turned-director. Today, we take a look at his long and varied career and celebrate him as our Star of the Month.
