Everybody, welcome to the show. This is Dernaline. This is the Dernaline show. Thanks for being

here. This is a doozy. We're probably going to unpack some stuff that you haven't thought

about before. This episode comes by incredible woman, Dr. Becca Levy, who is award-winning

professor at Yale in psychology and public health and doctorate in psychology from Harvard

ran the national institute of aging post doctorate fellowship at Harvard. She has given tons

of research and time to this idea that she helped to bring out into the world. And that

is called ageism. That's right. We have deep beliefs that are creating and curbing

our choices, our ideas, our culture, our people, our communities, our cities, our ideologies

based around age. Do we have a healthy outlook on age in the United States? No. Someone gets

old. We want to get rid of them and put them away into a home because we don't know what

to do with them. Our culture here in the western world is flipped upside down in other cultures,

which we talk to with Dr. Levy about. They celebrate as one gets older and wiser and can

contribute to the family, to the community. So we impact this idea of ageism, which is so fascinated.

It's such a great time having this conversation with Dr. Becca. She wrote this incredible book called

Breaking the Age Code. How your age beliefs determine how long and how well you live.

Yes. We will find this episode really powerful. The more you can become aware of these ideas,

which are absolutely rooted in scientific figure by her work, you will be blown away.

I had an incredible time with my new friend. Listen to the incredible Dr. Becca. Levy.
