  • Dr. Gary Small, Professor of Psychiatry, Biobehavioral Sciences & Aging and Director of the UCLA Longevity Center, breaks down the biological causes and symptoms of aging and its impact on mental wellness. He discusses the effects of neurodegenerative memory disorders on patients and caregivers, his personal experiences with Alzheimer’s, and the toll his work with the difficult aspects of cognitive transitions takes on him. Mayim and Dr. Small examine the negative effects of stress and isolation on the aging process and how technology has the potential to help or harm it before delving into the ways we can strengthen our brains through meditation, sleep, therapy, social connections, learning a language or instrument, and even certain foods. They unpack the roles of the elderly in our society and the ways various cultures treat aging populations. Mayim opens up about her father’s degenerative condition, details common reasons we distract ourselves, and explains the Look-Snap-Connect techniques we can use to maintain and improve active brain health and memory.

    I don’t give a flying squirrel what culture thinks about aging. My brother died suddenly at the age of 23 and 3 months later my dad also suddenly died. I was 8 turning 9. Aging is a blessing and people need to take better care of their bodies with a better lifestyle not the status quo. Idk. Today someone told me I look like a teenager. I’m 31. Bring it on!😂Every birthday is a blessing.

    The music thing is correct ..... I used to work as a social worker at a nursing home and used to do something like this when my residents were having a hard time. Some would dance some but in other more severe cases you could see the light in their eyes reignite. It was such a good connection to have with with them.

    I watched my Mom fight cancer for 10 years when I was still young. I grew up with her fighting for her life. This changed how I look at aging. As much as I don't love my body getting older (I'm in my 50's now)....I see aging as a privilege that far too many don't have. My Mom passed away the day after her last goal, which was her 50th birthday. So, being in my 50's, I recognize that every day now, is a privilege that my Mom didn't have.

    Thank you for this one. I have recently learned that my mom, 67 is dementing . Since learning this I have been concerned about my future cognitive health. This podcast has helped me see that I am basically doing everything wrong right now lol. As I was listening I literally went to the fridge and grabbed blueberries to snack on. Tonight when I go to bed, instead of falling asleep to a TH-cam video I'm going to grab a physical book and now that I have finished watching this I am going for a walk, you know, out doors with other people and nature and stuff lol.

    My little corner of Spain, Galicia, has a very high life expectancy: 83,51 in 2019 (due to covid the number lowered a bit in 2020, as many elders perished)
    Because is a very rural area, a lot of our elders have been cultivating and rising their own food.
    Younger generations rely almost exclusively on supermarkets, but we still see our fields full of vegetables and cows, goats, etc.
    This means a lot of old people, 80+ , are working daily on their gardens, keeping a very active lifestyle.
    Our climate is pure Oceanic and we have 4 perfectly separated seasons.
    Winters are hard and our gastronomy is very heavy during the cold seasons, but its combined with working in the woods and fields, so they don't have a lot of overweight.
    It's very common to have 100+ neighbours, and if someone dies before 90, we think they died young.

      Even though my region is in Spain, we don't have Mediterranean diet up here, but I do believe it's very well balanced.
      Lots of fresh produce, really simple preparations, (most of our traditional dishes consist in boiling things or grilling in open fire) and very active lifestyle.

    Mayim and Johnathon I wanted to finally say thank you so much for all these podcasts. Mayim, your Neurological Breakdown of all these disorders have majorly changed my life. I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have found listening to the Chemical interpretation of what’s happening to me has opened the door to a new understanding and coping with my disorder! So much easier for me to incorporate change knowing it was not something I was doing to myself . My anxiety was heightened with my chronic disorders of Microvascular Disease of my heart and Brain. I even had 2 strokes on treatment to decrease strokes.
    All I heard was meditate and decrease stress. Mayim, your information, guest questions, and feeling like you are the voice of a friend has saved me. My meds have been decreased for my anxiety, my Blood Pressure , and angina. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Maureen De Soto, RN

It's okay to have supportive roles- and it bodes well for their relationship that they can organize this podcast together. #relationshipgoals
      😄 Anyway, this is not a reality show, it's content created with a purpose. There's no need to pressure these creators to change their dynamic, even if you have good intentions such as encouraging Jonathan to speak out. He will, when and where he chooses! ❤️

      The Germ Theory was never actually proven to be 100% accurate, yet the trillion dollar medical industry is entirely based on that theory. What's the CAUSE of death in people with this "virus"? Does their brain explode? Does their heart stop beating? The CAUSE of death is still pneumonia. Pneumonia is not something you can "catch". You DEVELOP it, just like you develop cancer. It's a biological result of being "scared to death" of something. Think of it like an internal wound that you can't see, but when it starts to heal (when the traumatic event dissipates), the healing of the wounds in the lungs will cause pain, mucus, blood, fever, headaches, coughing, etc. The cause of death from Small Pox wasn't acne-like cysts. That's not enough to kill anyone. The cause of death was PNEUMONIA. A specific death fright soldiers and Indians felt due to them attacking each other during this traumatic period in time. These were the only people who had Small Pox. A vaccine only stopped the acne cysts from forming, which is basically a histamine response. Pneumonia still develops and cannot be stopped or vaccinated against. It's like trying to vaccinate your body to prevent it from healing a bruise or a cut. You don't show the symptoms of "disease" until you stop being panicked and afraid. These symptoms usually show up 1-2 weeks after you've relaxed and resolved the upsetting event.

      Governments around the world are CAUSING fear frights, thus CAUSING all the illnesses, aka Boogey Virus, in everyone based on an unproven THEORY by one man, Louis Pasteur, who redacted his claim of the germ theory on his death bed, yet no one listened. The US is following an outdated theory that's 100 years old and has not questioned or retested that "science" since then. They believed In witches and curses back then!! Could it be because a Ca-Zillion dollar medical industry profits on following an outdated "science" model?! They've been using the same cancer "treatment" for 80 YEARS. They can't think of something besides POISON in all this time?!?!

      So of course, when everyone is allowed to escape the hostage situation the governments have put their people into, and they start relaxing about the "scary virus" that's not in any way transmissible, they will begin their healing phase (get sick), and believe they then have the "scary virus", and more panic will ensue as well as martial law. The longer people allow this government to hold them hostage in their homes, the more severe the "sickness" will be. Western Medicine is pure fraud, and people's lives are destroyed because of it.

    Talking about aging and lack of social interaction effects. What if the person enjoys being alone? I can see the difference between my mother (87) and her sister (91). Her sister is a highly social person and this pandemic has been incredibly tough on her and secondarily, the fact that she is outliving most of her friends. My mother, on the other hand, has been quite content, as she’s not a particularly social person to begin with. If the person doesn’t really like social interaction, wouldn’t the forcing of social interaction, in and of itself, be stress producing?

    My grandmother is 97 and she is just recently been having mild cognitive issues so I guess I'm blessed considering her age but I have been giving her salmon, coconut oil vitamin B12 it's seems to be helping her. I'm not saying that she is the way she was when she was 60 but I have noticed a improvement with her memory.

    I disagree with the fact that in other cultures aging isn't as a big factor as it's in the USA, on the contrary. From my observation, I think western people stay independent as long as they physically can. In some cultures, elderly people (silly number as 50) soon start to view themselves as old and others them. At 18, I was already worried about my aging. Now, I feel like I can't escape from it as with many other things in life, so I try to accept it as a fact of life. The aim is to make it as painless as possible 😁 We're luck to live in an age where physical pain can be reduced. In case of mental, watching the above podcast might help 🤞

      I got excited when I heard about it around one year ago, because I'm like that too! They call it "aphantasia", but if I remember correctly, that term was coined fairly recently.
      Prior to learning this, I thought the way I "pictured" things was the same way everyone else did! I thought having "mental image" of something was just a metaphor for THINKING ABOUT that thing (as a concept). I had no idea that most people see a real, actual PICTURE! For me, it's all cognitive... Like I can describe what something looks like without having to look at it, but I can't actually SEE it in my head. Sometimes I can SORT OF create a picture in my head if it's of something very familiar, but it's only a brief flash. If I try really really hard, I can usually bring it back again, but still only brief flashes. But there ARE people who can't do it at ALL.

    • @robynriana396

      What's fascinating about aphantasia is the different paths the brain forges to achieve memory and associations - even affecting relationships and emotional processing! (My husband realized he has this at age 33) I hope scientists keep studying aphantasia!

And it's amazing how many of these variations can result in zero or only minor impairment. Of course there are also many that can be absolutely DEVASTATING, like dementia 😢💔

    I feel soooo disgusted, scared of, angry, annoyed with aging. Especially while going through a second divorce, and having grown up with a Narcissistic mother 🙄, and as I get older and look in the mirror, I see more and more of her face. Makes me wanna cry. My sons tell me they don’t see it, and always tell me I am STILL SO BEAUTIFUL (pffft, yeah ok, but they’re sweet, lol). I hate it, and I do not look forward to getting older, besides just to be here for my sons who are both special needs (ADHD and Autism) and are the main reasons I look forward to waking AGAIN each day.

    Perhaps this is uncommon or placebo effect, but my mother with Alzheimer's has been treating herself with MCT oil for over 15 years and has been able to maintain her cognitive function doing so. It's quite remarkable to watch her if she misses a dose. Her cognitive abilities descend very rapidly until she's the stereotypical vacant old lady. When she catches herself back up, she seems to roll back 20 years. That being said, she also works hard at eating well, exercising, hydrating, and takes many supplements. But the MCT cycle is very evident and obvious to her brain function that I don't think it can be overlooked.

I agree, I'm not sure I want to know ahead--having seen it in 4 family members, the fear of what's to come would be stifling. As Jonathan said, once you know, you can't not know, and there's not much you can do about it.
