Passport to Longevity--Part II

In Part II of our coverage of longevity and travel, I take you to the 5 Blue Zones identified as areas where people live longer than in other regions of the world. Since they were identified, over 50 different communities have been identified as longevity hotpots. As we discuss the attributes of the original 5 Blue Zones in Greece, Italy, the USA, Costa Rica, and Japan, we discover the reasons in lifestyle, attitude, and faith that keep humans living longer and healthier. We are empowered to create our own list of longevity protocols. The episode ends with three ways to make your home community a Blue Zone: 1) praise merchants who offer better food and access to exercise, 2) be a model for your family and friends, and 3) prioritize longevity when you vote for community leaders. Advocate for more park space, walkable and safe streets, and demand national and local budgets for preventive care. This episode can be a game-changer for you and your neighbors.Resources:National Institute of Healthhttps://www.nih.gov/National Institute on Aginghttps://www.nia.nih.gov/Age Later (Book)https://www.amazon.com/Age-Later-Healthiest-Sharpest-Centenarians/dp/1250230853 What Happy People Know (Book)https://www.amazon.com/s?k=What+Happy+People+KnowListen to Our Podcasts—The Ageless Traveler https://agelesstraveler.com Subscribe to Our Newsletter—Travel Tuesday https://ageless-traveler-s-travel-tuesday.kit.com/b368fe9fec Join Our Facebook Salon https://www.facebook.com/groups/840951897411276/ B Send a voicemail or text- https://fanlist.com/agelesstraveler/inbox/ask-your-travel-questions-here Download Our Free eBooks Luxury Travel for Less https://luxurytravelforless.info Caregivers Travel Guide https://caregiverstravelguide.com 3 Steps to Make Lifelong Travel Easy https://ageless-traveler-s-travel-tuesday.kit.com/31798cb79b To book and compare prices for hotels, rental cars, and tour guides, use these links created for you by The Ageless Traveler Cruises It https://theagelesstraveler.membercruises.com/home-page Expedia ...

Passport to Longevity--Part I

This week’s episode goes straight to the heart of why lifelong travel doesn’t just feel good — it works. The National Institute on Aging and the National Institutes of Health have both done long-term studies showing that people who travel regularly live longer, stronger, healthier lives. I’m not making this up — this is geroscience!Why?You move more. New places = more walking, more exploring, more steps. Those muscles? They will thank you.Your brain lights up. Novelty builds neural pathways. Travel is like a spa day for your neurons.Confidence skyrockets. When you navigate foreign streets or a cruise ship with 5,000 strangers, you crush that “I’m too old” nonsense.You fight back against internalized ageism. When society treats you as fragile, you start acting that way — unless you’re a traveler. Travelers push back, expand, reclaim their vitality.Travelers are physically stronger, cognitively sharper, emotionally more resilient, and — get this — even fare better during life’s storms. To me, travel is the ultimate longevity secret.Listen to Our Podcasts—The Ageless Traveler https://agelesstraveler.com Subscribe to Our Newsletter—Travel Tuesday https://ageless-traveler-s-travel-tuesday.kit.com/b368fe9fec Join Our Facebook Salon https://www.facebook.com/groups/840951897411276/ B Send a voicemail or text- https://fanlist.com/agelesstraveler/inbox/ask-your-travel-questions-here Download Our Free eBooks Luxury Travel for Less https://luxurytravelforless.info Caregivers Travel Guide https://caregiverstravelguide.com 3 Steps to Make Lifelong Travel Easy https://ageless-traveler-s-travel-tuesday.kit.com/31798cb79b To book and compare prices for hotels, rental cars, and tour guides, use these links created for you by The Ageless Traveler Cruises It https://theagelesstraveler.membercruises.com/home-page Expedia ...

Unlock Your Travel Vitality: The Power of Hormone Optimization

"You’re never too old to evaluate your longevity, your vitality, and consider hormones." Dr. Jeanette GrayIn this episode of The Ageless Traveler, I interview Dr. Jeanette Gray on about one of the most common issues faced by mature travelers … a sense of vitality loss. Many individuals report feeling burnt out from travel or lacking the energy to embark on new adventures. There may be a connection between travel burnout, travel vitality, and hormone optimization in men and women. As we age, many of us experience fatigue, which makes travel harder. But this lack of “mojo” goes beyond travel and affects all our activities.Dr. Gray explains that hormones, especially estrogen and testosterone, significantly influence our energy levels, mood, and overall zest for life. By understanding hormone optimization, individuals can reclaim their vitality and continue to explore the world, regardless of age. About Dr. Grayhttps://perfectbalance.health/dr-gray/ Perfect Balance Healthhttps://perfectbalance.health/ Dr. Gray's book, The Truth About Sex Hormoneshttps://perfectbalance.health/dr-grays-book/Listen to Our Podcasts—The Ageless Traveler https://agelesstraveler.com Subscribe to Our Newsletter—Travel Tuesday https://ageless-traveler-s-travel-tuesday.kit.com/b368fe9fec Join Our Facebook Salon https://www.facebook.com/groups/840951897411276/ B Send a voicemail or text- https://fanlist.com/agelesstraveler/inbox/ask-your-travel-questions-here Download Our Free eBooks Luxury Travel for Less https://luxurytravelforless.info Caregivers Travel Guide https://caregiverstravelguide.com 3 Steps to Make Lifelong Travel Easy https://ageless-traveler-s-travel-tuesday.kit.com/31798cb79b To book and compare prices for hotels, rental cars, and tour guides, use these links created for you by The Ageless Traveler Cruises It https://theagelesstraveler.membercruises.com/home-page Expedia ...
