Healthy Tips After 50 Podcast

Tom Paladino Shares His Energy Discoveries

This week I have a fascinating conversation that's sure to ignite your curiosity and perhaps even challenge the way you think about health and energy. My guest, Tom Paladino, is here to explain his groundbreaking work on scalar energy, an omnipresent force he believes can revolutionize not only our health but the technology we rely on every day. He's diving deep into quantum energy potentials, tapping into the same principles that the legendary Nikola Tesla once explored.

Imagine healing and receiving nutrients remotely, through nothing but a photograph, this is the reality Tom is not only describing for us, he’s living it. He'll walk us through his theory that our thinking is powered by scalar energy, a more abundant and available energy that can make us smarter and healthier. Tom talks about this force as a judgment-free, fundamental energy that flows through the universe, powering his unique healing methods.

Tom is also offering listeners a chance to experience this for themselves with a 15-day free session on his website, scalarlight.com. He's urging us to spread the word and partake in what might be the grassroots movement of Tesla technology, as he works tirelessly toward the goal of scaling his global healing ministry.

Join us as we probe the capabilities of scalar energy, from improving memory and focus in children to the potential of healing without physical interaction. Does this sound too good to be true, or is it just the kind of thinking we need to push the boundaries of current science and medicine? Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that will leave you contemplating the true power of energy in our lives.

This week’s guest is Dr. Stan Goldberg, A former professor of communication disorders he retired at 57 due to memory issues and a sleep disorder. It was at that time that he became deeply interested in “senior moments” and their impact on memory. Dr. Goldberg shares his personal experiences and highlights the importance of understanding the context behind memory lapses, which we call “senior moments”.

We delve into different types of senior moments and strategies for coping with them. We also discuss the fascinating connection between memory and the brain, exploring how memories are stored and reinforced. Dr. Goldberg even unveils some surprising findings about the potential for brain growth, even in individuals with Alzheimer's. Plus, he shares insights from his most recent book, Preventing Senior Moments (available at Amazon), where he offers practical and achievable prevention strategies for senior moments and how to stay sharp in old age. Stay tuned for a captivating and informative discussion on memory, aging, and so much more.

Ways to Deal with Stress & Anxiety from Covid-19

This podcast is the start of a series where I’ll address the different issues that are affecting our brains during this difficult time. I’ve looked at some of these areas before but never as a whole and never in the environment that we’re living in today.

There are many different ways to deal with stress and anxiety and I talk about some of those in this podcast. In addition I mention a number of methods that I have done previous podcasts about that have even more information than in this podcast. I will also include links to these at the bottom of today’s show notes.

Today’s podcast gives some additional information about how stress, inflammation, and our immune system can work both for and against us. It can defend us in times of attack (stress) and it can create illnesses if the stress lasts too long (like auto-immune and inflammation related diseases).

There are positives and negatives associated with our Shelter-In-Place directives and our ability to work from home. More sleep, less exercise, more food, and more or less productivity depending on how you’re handling your staying at home life. I talk about yoga and tai chi being useful in calming yourself, getting exercise, and relieving stress. I have a link to my previous podcast about yoga down below.

Next I talk about a simple breathing exercise which will help you to ground yourself when you’re feeling stressed. And lastly I talk about more formal meditation practice - what it is, where you can find it, and what to expect when you start it. It’s wonderful but it takes daily work, a daily practice, and dedication to reap the benefits.

I also talked about the wonderful app called the UCLA Mindfulness App where you can listen to guided meditations. Those guided meditations can be a wonderful place to start a meditation practice - i.e. a wonderful way in with guidance from experienced teachers. You should definitely try it out. The link to it is below.

I hope this information is valuable to you and that you take care of yourself during this pandemic. Please take it seriously and protect yourself, your family, and your community. Wear your mask when you’re out (unless you’re exercising in a uncrowded space) and take care of your health!

Where Are the Minorities and Women in Clinical Trials?

This podcast is about something that was mandated to be changed/fixed in 1997 and, although it’s a little bit better, it is still broken. What I’m talking about are the clinical trials that try out a new medication or new procedure to see if it’s safe and does what it says it’s supposed to do.

It is supposed to treat an illness or a condition that can mean the difference between living a longer, easier, and more fulfilling life or being in pain, disabled, or perhaps having dementia. But the issue here is that medications and treatments affect everyone a little differently and that is especially true across different genders and ethnic minorities.

The people who make up the trial group should be reflective of the population at large - that covers age, gender, and ethnicity. For instance women make up more than 50% of the population and the latest representation figures from a survey of clinical trials is 26% and another is 30%. That has led to issues from some negative side effects on how medications were prescribed. For example amounts and ways of taking them.

At the moment the editorial boards of journals who make the decisions about what trials get published is even more white male than the trial populations are which is even scarier. It is changing but not nearly fast enough. In the meantime, the advice I give in the podcast is that if you are a woman and/or a minority and your doctor wants to give you some medication or to have a procedure ask him/her if it was studied on a person like you and how did that person do. If he/she doesn’t know then have them find out before you fill a prescription or get a procedure.

The latter part of the podcast is all about berries - how good they taste and how good they are for you. I talk about the different things contain - things like flavonols, flavonoids, fiber, and Vitamin C. There are more in the podcast. I also give you some ideas about to freeze them so you can eat them all year round. We love having them in our cereal or just by themselves. Now is a good time to freeze some to eat during the off season.

And if you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed please reach out to me and we can get on a call so I can help you to feel better. You can contact me at my email - [email protected]

To Celebrate Menopause Month starting Oct 1, I have a very special guest with a unique perspective on menopause, sex, hormones, and more. Joining us is Katie Enright, founder and CEO of Lavinia, a company that focuses on enhancing people's sex lives through the use of cannabis. Katie shares how she transitioned from studying theology and considering a life as a nun to becoming an advocate for sexual education and incorporating cannabis into her own recovery journey. Her company, Lavinia’s mission is to enhance peoples sex lives through cannabis and to normalize two historically taboo subjects (sex and cannabis).

She explains how cannabis acts as a vasodilator, increasing blood flow, and how it can improve sexual experiences when used topically or ingested. Improving women’s sexual health before, during, and after menopause is very exciting (if you’ll pardon the pun) for all women going through the multi-year, multi-decade process of aging. While currently only available in California, Katie discusses the future potential for broader distribution and the benefits of cannabis in improving various aspects of our lives. Stay tuned to learn more about Katie's products and the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.

If you live in California and are 21 or over you can legally purchase cannabis locally and/or order it from a list of sites on their website - www.ohlavinia.com
