Summary

Have you heard of “touch starvation”? It’s a real thing that happens when you don’t have the skin-to-skin physical contact with others that you need or that you are used to. This episode begins with a brief discussion about how the pandemic has deprived people of touch and why we need to be aware of it. https://www.webmd.com/balance/touch-starvation What can you do to live as long a life as possible? That is what biologist and science writer Andrew Steele set out to discover. And what he found is amazing. Andrew is author of the book Ageless: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old (https://amzn.to/3pAtIxx) and he joins me to explain the very latest on what we can all do to improve our chances of living much longer and staying healthier in those later years. He also describes some of the fascinating research that may result in treatments in our lifetime so we can all live even longer. If you haven’t checked your tire pressure in a while, now is the time to do it since the weather has gotten colder. Listen as I explain why the weather makes a difference. https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/ideal-tire-pressure-cold-weather/ You have heard of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but do you understand what they are or what they are worth or who uses them and why?
