Our guest on this Living to 100 Club podcast is Dr. Marjorie Burns, who goes by the name, Bijee. In this conversation, we learn about Bijee’s latest period of her life as the author of a new book of fiction, The New Cadets. And, as a very busy octogenarian, we learn about her attitude to “keep it Moving.” Now in her 80’s, our guest hikes, bicycles and skis in her home state of Washington. She has a 27-foot climbing wall in her home, which she puts to good use. Why does she stay so physically active? Does her chronological age ever tell her to slow down? As a writer of academic books, p…

This Living to 100 Club podcast invites as its guest Michael Rubino, the founder of Home Cleanse. Home Cleanse is dedicated to addressing poor indoor air quality, a factor that has worsened in recent years. This is especially so as our homes get more energy efficient. Because energy efficiency impacts ventilation and air exchange, particles and toxins can increase. In turn, this contributes to spores and mold growth. Our guest educates us on the relationship between poor air quality and respiratory-borne illness. He also shares recent research showing how poor air quality contributes to skin …

But research evidence now strongly supports the existence of the brain’s ability to restructure or rewire itself. For example, after an auto accident, a person’s ability to speak is impaired. However, the speaking ability may not be lost permanently. […] The post Neuroplasticity: Rewiring Our Brain when It Needs to Adapt appeared first on Living to 100 Club.

On this Living to 100 Club podcast, we invite Frances Woolley as our guest. Dr. Woolley is an economist at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. She is an authority on challenges ahead as the Baby Boomer generation contemplates the risk of needing long-term care. We discuss the demands on health care systems as our population ages. Also discussed are the shortage of long-term care beds, and the inequities in paying for this care. Families now make huge sacrifices in caring for spouse or a parent, with little or no outside help. Eventually this care shifts to a state (in the U.S.) or a provinc…
