  • Aging Gracefully: How Scarlet and Rhett Might Have Done It
    It’s clear that “aging gracefully” means different things to different people. To me, aging gracefully means letting go, just letting life happen. It's giving up goals, dreams, productivity, and challenge. It’s placidly waiting for death. You get to a place where, as Rhett Butler would say, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

  • Aging Women and Parenting: The Case for Preparation
    It's not news that the "golden years" of many older people, especially women, are years hijacked by young family members in need of care.

  • Alzheimer's: Why Aren't We Stopping It?

  • Be the Star of Your Own Anti-Aging “Today Show”
    The mental and physical decline that accompanies the aging process – is it inevitable? Or is it a result of cultural influences and how we live? Like perfectly programmed robots we march into old age, fully accepting consensus thinking, archaic tradition, and contemporary cultural norms. It’s not necessarily bad – it’s the uncritical acceptance of “this is the way it should be” that seals our fate into premature decline.
  • Does an Orthodontist Need to Know Your Age?

  • Got White Hair? You Are Senile!
    When you have white hair, you are perceived as o-l-d. No matter what your face and or body look like, white hair categorizes you in an instant. It tells the world who and what you are, even if you are prematurely gray or white. You are an old person. There is no getting around it.
  • 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.

  • Okay Grizzly Guys, Take it Off -- Take it All Off

  • Preventive Health Care: Does it Exist?
    True preventive health care is nonexistent for most Americans. That’s because traditional medicine focuses on treatment of symptoms, and that’s not prevention. Our health care system operates like the old barn door – it’s left open and then the farmer tries to figure out why the horses ran off.
  • 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.”
  • Tell Your Age? Who Needs to Know?
    When older people – men and women -- meet for the first time, very early into the encounter they often volunteer their age. Why do they do it? To promote self esteem, acceptance, or are they in need for a "warm & fuzzy" compliment? Or is it more than that?
  • The Anti-Aging Law of Compensation: You Must Apply It
    The so-called civilized world we live in makes it difficult to maintain youthful attributes and stay healthy. Fast food, pollution, low and non-nutrition processed edibles eaten as food, stress, medications, lack of adequate information and our own negligence contribute to health problems and signs of premature aging. To get around it, you can do one of two things: just let it happen or be on the offensive with compensating measures.
