Epigenetics and Living Younger: Changing the Ways Our Genes Operate
This Living to 100 Club Podcast invites as its guest Dr. Gillian Lockitch. We discuss the art and science of aging gracefully. Our conversation opens with Gillian’s journey from an inactive, overweight, widowed, isolated, depressed retired physician to the vibrant author, speaker, entrepreneur, and dancer that she is today. We discuss the roadmap she laid out for herself to address issues of heredity, mindset, goal setting, nutrition, physical activity, appearance, and socialization. Importantly, we also dive into the field of epigenetics. What is it and how does it affect us? Can we make simple changes to our aging trajectory to facilitate graceful aging? How do we live out our years with a healthy mind in a healthy body? No matter where you are on your journey, join us for this program that shows you how your life actually gets better with age.
