Loved this episode! I'm 74, can still run up and down stairs, walk my 2 dogs daily, take no medication, do breath work, do meditation, yoga, cook, dance, clean and otherwise stay active but also do not feel guilty about resting and watching some educational and inspiring podcasts like yours on utube and I sleep like a baby! I try to remember that things happen FOR you, not to you. There is a lesson in everything, we are not victims. We are all one and should not judge (a kinda hard thing). Stay positive, words and thoughts are things!

My husband and daughters all work from home. We have stand-up desks so no excuse to not stand and work. We turned our basement into a gym during COVID. What a game changer that was at a reasonable cost. Being active is so important. We have older relatives with lots of neurological issues and I am so grateful for all this info, trying not to go down that path.

I live in Thailand and Vietnam where hundreds of studies have been done on monks who sit and meditate at least 8 hours a day. There is very little late stage mental illness here especially among monks, it virtually doesn't exist. This implies that guys research is incredibly ethnocentric. Which I'm not surprised by, as most American scientists speak as if there views represent the whole world. If you just look at Dr Daniel Golemans studies on long term meditators it totally contradicts what this researcher is saying. However I will consider his research is probably true relative to non meditating Americans.

I walk twice a day. Four miles in the late afternoon and two in the morning. I’m 69 and I am not on any medications. I hope to keep it that way. I was a runner when I was younger but I had a total knee replacement back in 2011 so I took up speed walking and that’s where I am today but not every day. Just twice a week otherwise I walk at a good fast pace on the days where I’m not speed walking. I love it and I have plenty of energy to get through my days.i also clean my three bedroom apartment which is a nice big apartment and i dance around the house. Movement is key. I paint and draw. I am retired and I plan on living a good long healthy life

L lost my giant breed dog 5 months ago. Even at 11yrs old, she would choose her walks to be the windy, twisty, foreign territory walks, always knowing that her final objective was to serendipitously arrive at the large green lakefront park, with steps and boardwalks and fun terrains. She knew exactly how to negotiate new streets in the wrong directions, lengthening her walk and still make the right choices to arrive at her park (usually by means of cutting through another favorite spot of hers!!) So these walks would be close to 1 hour..sometimes a little more..I've realized that not only am i grieving her loss, but I've not replaced those walks. Yes, it's cold winter in the north, but hey..i could drive to the art museum and just whip around the vast halls and galleries, before even studying a collection. Our dogs keep us so much healthier !! ❤ (Doggie owner note: she was not loose, just very well behaved after being trained on a triple-handle leash, essential for 100lb pooch that initially pulled. At crossing paths or streets, I'd give her the choice and ask her "Which way?") ..i couldn't help but think of this as he spoke of the mice.... ❤

This really hits home! My father has dementia since he was 64 he’s in a nursing home now he’s 69. he retired as a musician at 52 led a sedentary life style with lots of alcohol. He also lost his son my brother to suicide so I personally think this contributed too. I have this fear in me that it will follow down the line. So I think this will be my excersise motivation. Great podcast as always
Knowledge is power Thank you 🙏🏻

My mother was widowed at 83 and reacted very profoundly. Her grief definitely morphed into depression and a level of anxiety. She did not really respond much to depression medication or social intervention, and was incredibly needy although physically in reasonable health. Despite daily visits from myself and attempts to get her to socialise with others, she eventually refused to leave her home and became 100% dependent on my care, and ultimately on additional paid-for carer services. At this point her physical health declined catastrophically into almost total immobility and double incontinence. This despite having no life-limiting diagnosis. She eventually passed away from inanition just before the pandemic, which was itself a mercy. All of this bears out powerfully the contention of Dr Raichlen that mental ability is intimately linked to physical activity. I cannot emphasise enough that the elderly in such circumstances should be helped and encouraged as much as possible to remain active, even though sometimes we don’t succeed.

Best health podcast ever. Finally, practical effective steps to better health as we age. Not down some research rabbit hole with impossible goals for ordinary people. I now sip my coffee, water or tea while standing by a window and admiring the scenery instead of sitting and listening to gossip and complaints. Mood improved already. Have a long way to go but progress feels better than hopelessness.

This hit home so much, I work remotely and notice when I dont step away from my screen to go outside to walk or workout my productivity and mood drastically decreases. Also 100% agree about the treadmill running, I honestly hate it but do it mainly in winter so I have started listening to audiobooks on personal development or finance so I am learning something rather than staring at a wall feeling like a mouse on a wheel. As per usual incredibly insightful episode! Keep it up team DOAC!
