    The Promise of Cannabis as We Age - Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta - Podcast on CNN Audio - 9 month(s) ago

    Cannabis is often thought of as a young person’s drug. But the reality is that more and more people of all ages are asking their doctors about medical marijuana to treat a whole host of issues, from chronic pain, insomnia, and even some of the symptoms associated with dementia. What’s behind this trend? To learn about the benefits and risks of this type of treatment, Dr. Gupta turns to Dr. Aaron Greenstein, a geriatric psychiatrist who treats patients over the age of 65 with mental health issues. Dr. Greenstein will share his personal story of using cannabis to help his grandmother in her final days, and what patients of all ages should consider when seeking out this type of treatment.

    Biohacking...or BS? - Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta - Podcast on CNN Audio - 9 month(s) ago

    Caloric restriction. Blood transfusions. Hormetic stress. Off-label meds. As CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta is often asked about the latest “hacks” for longevity that pop up in the news. But do any of these interventions actually work? Can aging actually be stopped, much less reversed? In this episode, Sanjay speaks with Dr. Nir Barzilai, the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He believes one of the keys to battling aging lies in our cells and genetic makeup. Plus, we hear from self-professed “biohackers,” who have some tips we can all try to extend our healthy years.

      Biohacking usually comes in one of three forms according to @NirBarzilaiMD . The Dorian Gray – slow aging. Wolverine – reverse aging or Peter Pan, never age at all. But is biohacking real or is it BS? We went deep with this conversation. 🎧https://t.co/KomY9jHJ2l https://t.co/auFPyrH5Tc

And what does that say about the way we view aging? Plus, University of California at Irvine Sociology Professor Sabrina Strings explains how attitudes about age and beauty impacts women on a whole different level, and what needs to be done to change the cycle.

      Today's beauty standards place extra pressure on women to appear "ageless." And often times people are taught to fear getting older. @JustineBateman thinks this all gets in the way of learning how to just be yourself. 🎧 https://t.co/c91qojAIvx https://t.co/HKkmTa212F
