Cheryl Ladd - Unstoppable and Empowering Others The Not Old Better Show - Healthy Living Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #477. As part of our Healthy Living Series, today's show is going to be wonderful. We're talking today with actress Cheryl Ladd. Cheryl Ladd is an iconic actress. At age 69, like so many of us in the Not Old Better Show audience, she's not done dreaming and doing. Cheryl Ladd tells us today she feels unstoppable and is on a personal mission to empower others to age with optimism. When she learned she had cataracts, she felt afraid that, even after surgery, her vision would never be what it once was. Cheryl will tell us about that and how she knew she had to seize the opportunity to get the best vision she could, so she asked her doctor a new cataract technology in the US, that enhances your vision without glasses or contacts. Today, she has clear and complete vision and is optimistic about all she can do now. She is currently planning for the October release of Christmas Unwrapped on Lifetime. She is staying optimistic as she isolating at home, keeping her mind and body healthy with a Sunday ritual to meet her daughter for virtual Pilates and spending time outdoors to stay inspired. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, via internet phone, Cheryl Ladd. My thanks to Cheryl Ladd for her generous time today. My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience. Remember, stay safe everyone, practice smart social distancing, and Talk About Better. The Not Old Better Show. Thanks, everybody.

The Language of Butterflies - A Message of Hope The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science Author Interview Series Welcome to the Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #471. Today's show is sponsored by Medterra. We are talking about butterflies today. Yes, butterflies. As part of our Smithsonian Associates Inside Science Author Interview series, our guest today is science journalist and New York Times Bestselling author Wendy Williams. Wendy Williams will be presenting at the Smithsonian Associates program, Sept. 2, 2020, via Zoom, and the title of her presentation is "The Language of Butterflies: A Message of Hope." Both fragile and enduring, butterflies have induced a mania for hoarding and collecting in some, and fantastical travels in others. We plant gardens to attract them, build habitats to guide their migrations, and study their intricate systems to help us design next-generation medical devices. But their most critical role yet may be as messengers for climate change and what we must do to uplift our planet's future. Our guest today, science journalist Wendy Williams takes a look at the scientists, gardeners, naturalists and citizen scientists who have joined together to successfully decipher the secrets of butterflies in order to protect them. She shares surprising details like the unexpectedly intricate shapes of butterflies' unique wing scales, the microscopic details of the butterfly proboscis, and even the biological tools that allow monarch butterflies to migrate south each fall. Author Wendy Williams will explore the factors behind declining butterfly populations, from habitat destruction to climate change, and she offers insights into the deepening bond we have with these insects and their importance to our own survival in her new book, The Language of Butterflies: How Thieves, Hoarders, Scientists, and Other Obsessives Unlocked the Secrets of the World's Favorite Insect. Let's listen as Wendy Williams reads from her new book, The Language of Butterflies: That of course is our guest today, author, science journalist, Wendy Williams. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Inside Science Interview Series via internet phone, Wendy Williams.

BABY BOOMERS SCORE LOWER ON COGNITIVE FUNCTIONING Science and Technology Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #470. Today's show is brought to you by SunBasket Meals. Many in our Not Old Better Show audience may have seen the headline: Baby boomers are experiencing a sharper drop in cognitive function as they age, relative to previous generations. The findings from the research, performed by our guest today, Dr. Hui Zheng, not only suggest that boomers will be more likely to develop conditions like dementia than past cohorts, but future aging generations may be at a similar heightened risk. According to Dr. Zheng, "It is shocking to see this decline in cognitive functioning among baby boomers after generations of increases in test scores," Dr. Hui Zheng, professor of sociology at The Ohio State University, goes on to say to us that what was most surprising is that this decline is seen in all groups: men and women, across all races and ethnicities and across all education, income and wealth levels. In the research, Dr. Zheng also tried to account for age-related declines in cognition by looking only at the scores of people in their early 50s. But again, early baby boomers in their 50s on average had lower test scores than did people from earlier generations in that same age group. That likely means that whatever is causing this drop in cognition, the decline started becoming apparent by the time baby boomers were still middle-aged. Cognitive functioning may continue declining among baby boomers if no effective interventions and policy responses are in place, which may cause the prevalence of dementia to substantially increase in the coming decades. But this is not an irreversible trend. Dr. Zheng suggests to us that everyone can strive for more physical activity, a healthy diet, and strong social bonds to lower their risk of cognitive decline later in life. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, via internet phone, Dr. Hui Zheng. My thanks to Dr. Hui Zheng for his thorough research and time today Please check out our list of resources in today's show notes.

Aging & HIV - Interview with Dennis Fleming Science & Technology Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #469. Today's show is brought to you by Medterra. At the start of the HIV epidemic more than 30 years ago, people who were diagnosed with HIV or AIDS could expect to live only 1-2 years after that diagnosis. This meant that the issues of aging were not a major focus for people with HIV disease. Today's show is about aging with HIV, and I think you'll find our guest, Dennis Fleming, as I have, and that's someone to root for, yes, because, today, his HIV is undetectable, but someone who is living a long, healthy life. Nearly half of all people living with HIV in the United States are age 50 or older. This is mostly because people are living much longer with HIV thanks to novel, effective, inhibitor attachment therapy, and that's good news. The bad news is research increasingly shows that diseases that typically strike HIV-negative people, men and women, yes, women, too in their 60s and 70s are occurring in people with HIV in their 40s and 50s. These concerns have brought the issue of aging with HIV to center stage. One of the biggest unanswered questions is why this is occurring, what it all means in relation to research, clinical trials, and support and resources for those, like our guest, Dennis Fleming, age 60, and those men and women over 60 with HIV. We'll talk about that and a lot more on today's program. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, via internet phone, Dennis Fleming. My thanks to Dennis Fleming for his willingness and candor today about aging with HIV. Please check out our list of resources in today's show notes. My thanks to GCI Health for help arranging today's show, My thanks to Medterra for sponsoring today's show, and my thanks always to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience.
