Aging & Thriving in Place - Jed Miles The Not Old Better Show, Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #310. Today's show is sponsored by SnugSafe.com It's time to elevate the conversation about aging in place. Forget about grab bars and wheelchair ramps. Those are elements of last resort for "old" people. And who wants to be labeled "old"? Certainly none of us in The Not Old Better Show audience. The problem with aging is that there isn't a single point at which we are officially "old." All other major life events—graduating from college and starting a career, for instance, or getting married and starting a family—have a clear starting point. Not aging. It's not only gradual, but also different for each of us individually. Long before our hips fail us, we might be a little shaky on our feet. Years before we need memory care, we could become unsure of our decisions or forgetful. Aging is relative. Some people are born "old." Others are young into their nineties. Yet despite all of these vagaries, we do know several things for sure: America has an aging population with an increasing life expectancy, most of whom desire to stay in their homes indefinitely as they age. In fact, already 118.7 million strong, the population of Americans age 50 and older is expected to swell by another 10 million—nearly 10 percent—by 2020, just over a year away, according to AARP. The number of Americans age 85 and older, meanwhile, is expected to more than triple by 2060, making them the fastest-growing age group in the country. Americans aren't merely aging, however; they're also living longer, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which says a baby born in 2016 will live to an average age of 79.9 while one born in 2060 will live to an average age of 85.63. Someone born in 1950, on the other hand, has an average life expectancy of just 68.4 My guest today on The Not Old Better Show, Jed Miles. Jed Miles is the National Sales Manager for Stander. Stander is all about being independent as we age. Jed Miles is here to help us sort through some of the numbers, some of vagaries, the myths, realities, and some of the options to meet the housing needs of an aging population that plans to stay in their homes, and aren't likely anytime soon to admit they're aging. These independent Not Old Better Show audience members are interested in thriving in place, and not just aging in place.

Rewired - Author, Dr. Ajay Seth The Not Old Better Show, Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm host Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #309 As part of our Art of Living Author interview series, we'll be speaking with author of the new book, Rewired, Dr. Ajay Seth. Dr. Ajay K Seth is a board certified orthopedic hand and upper extremity surgeon located in North Canton, Ohio. That is an important element to the story, and we'll get to that… On December 10, 2015, Dr. Seth became the first surgeon in the United States to perform a surgery allowing an amputee, Melissa Loomis, who we'll be speaking with in part 2 of this wonderful 2 part interview. But, Dr. Seth's surgery allowed amputee, Melissa Loomis, to move and feel her prosthetic hand with her brain. The procedure was a 16.5 hour surgery, during which he was able to re-route nerves in the upper arm to give the patient the ability to feel as though the prosthetic hand is her own. Six weeks after surgery, the patient demonstrated that she could feel and move a prosthetic arm and hand. Hear Dr. Seth's story, with an excerpt read by Dr. Seth, and enjoy this new, inspirational book, Rewired.

Evangelicalism in America - Joseph Slaughter Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, I'm your host Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode number 307 As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Art of Living, interview series, we are going to be talking today about a favorite topic of mine, and from your emails over the last few months, a favorite topic of our Not Old Better Show audience: religion, politics, and evangelicalism, with Joseph Slaughter, professor of history. Every election cycle, and this last one followed the same pattern, American evangelicals are heavy hitters on the demographic scene, a force to be reckoned with for journalists, pundits, politicians, and political strategists. But it was not always so. Who exactly are the evangelicals, where did they come from, how fragmented is evangelicalism, the divisions among evangelicals based on age and ethnicity and what does the term "evangelical" even mean?
