  • Want Strikingly Younger Looking Skin? My Two Top Product Picks
    Are you ever frustrated and annoyed by advertising for products that claim to eliminate the “look” of wrinkles or otherwise improve the appearance of your skin.? What amazes me are “before and after” pictures intended to show near miraculous improvement but do not show much if any improvement, at least not to my eyes.
  • Senior Discounts: Boon or Bane?
    After I gave a a talk, an older woman raised her hand and said some of my suggestions about how to maintain youthful attributes were offensive to older women. In an agitated voice she said, “There is nothing wrong with being old. It’s a fact of life. You are preaching snake oil.” I commended her for accepting her stage of life and asked what she liked best about being old. In a flash she snapped, “Senior discounts.”

  • Does an Orthodontist Need to Know Your Age?
    Be fearless. Know when it is appropriate to provide personal information, and when you know it’s not necessary, don’t cave in. And above all, never reveal your chronological age. If you are pressed to do so, tell your perceived age.

  • The Ultimate Anti-Aging Do-It-Yourself Project for Boomers
    At 40 or 50, you are NOT middle aged! Remember, in the past century the lifespan has increased by 27 years. Therefore, it no longer makes sense to categorize yourself according to a model that is no longer relevant.
  • Boomers: The Choice is Yours -- Growth or Retirement
    The benefits of choosing to live each day of your life in a state of youthful growth instead of stultifying retirement are just too outstanding to pass up. Be in that growing number of happy, healthy, productive older people who are reveling in their fulfilling second life.
  • Powerful Anti-Aging Role Models: More are Needed

  • Got Talent? Go for Your Five Minutes of Fame –It’s Fun!
    At age 60 I was a contestant in a Ms. Senior America competition. I knew my chances of winning were slim because among other deficits, I do not sing, dance, twirl a baton or recite poetry. When I shared my shortcomings with the pageant director, she suggested I take acting lessons to acquire some stage presence. She said we would think of something that would qualify as talent.
  • Your Age Still Matters – Too Much!
    As wild and wooly as our society has become; as much as it is now the norm to do whatever you want to do, and tradition be damned, when it comes to dealing with age, we are still stuck in the dark ages.
  • I’m In Wrinkle Cream Rehab – Care to Join Me?
    I’m getting smarter, or maybe my common sense is finally kicking in (it’s about time) and I’ve made a decision not to buy any more new skin creams – regardless of how powerful the advertising. I am now in “Wrinkle Cream Rehab.” With any kind of luck, I won’t relapse.
  • Cancer: Will There Ever Be a Cure?
    The pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want to find a natural cure for cancer because there is no profit in a cure. Big Pharma makes its money selling products that at best only manage symptoms that are not life threatening but on going. Anyone with high blood pressure is a financial bonanza for the drug companies. Those unfortunate individuals will take profitable “management medication” until they die. Got it? Management pays. Cures do not.
  • Alzheimer's: Prevent It With Nutrition?
    Research into dietary supplements to prevent Alzheimer ’s disease has been going on for a long time with some very promising results. But that’s where it ends: “Promising results.” Research that produces truly promising results usually dies for lack of funding and lack of support by advocacy organizations.
  • Bold Retirement: Will You Be Ready?
    The traditional senior culture is waiting to embrace retirees who don't plan for the kind of life they want after they leave work. Whether you live boldly or wither away at that time is your choice.
  • Food-Included Weight Loss Programs: Should You Try One?
    You don't need Jenny, you don't need Nutrisystem, or any other expensive program that provides prepackaged meals. You just need to decide that you can and will do what you need to do to be in charge of your health and your weight. "Back to Basics" is the only way to go.
