Summary
Do you ever feel like the days are slipping right through your fingers, and you just can’t keep up?
I’ve noticed that, specifically in many older adults, few people are truly preparing for their senior years. Many have developed lifestyles that essentially involves running out the clock, without doing anything to proactively enhance their life—including their senior years.
That’s what this podcast is about: the art and science of growing older with enthusiasm. It’s focused on helping people learn to live enthusiastically today, tomorrow, and every day after that.
Tune in weekly for sessions around personal training in the mental health area, learning about the principles behind Goal-Achieving Psychology, Rejuvenaging, and so much more. I’ll have conversations with informative, educational, and interesting guests, all consistent with the theme of living enthusiastically.
It's never too early or too late to Rejuvenage!

| 0:19.0 | Welcome to the first episode of Rejuvenaging with Dr. Ron Kaiser. |
| 0:25.5 | The podcast devoted to living enthusiastically today and tomorrow. |
| 0:32.5 | Our podcast is based upon the application of the principles of positive psychology and neural plasticity, |
| 0:42.0 | or the brain's ability to change, repair itself, and develop throughout the course of the lifespan. |
| 0:50.5 | In this way, we can become the best versions of ourselves throughout the lifespan, including during the older adult years. |
| 0:59.5 | The format of these podcasts will be to have a personal training session once a month in the mental health area, |
| 1:08.5 | drawn from principles from my work, including my website, the mental health gym, |
| 1:15.5 | and my branch of psychology, which I call goal-achieving psychology. |
| 1:22.5 | During the remaining three weeks of every month, I will have informative educational, interesting guests, |
| 1:30.5 | with a message consistent with our theme of living enthusiastically. |
| 1:36.5 | Now, where does this theme come from and just what it doesn't mean? To understand it, I guess it's important to learn a little bit about me. |

| 1:54.5 | For more than 50 years, I've been helping people to be the best versions of themselves. |
| 2:00.5 | For more than three decades now, I've worked primarily with headache patients at the Jefferson Headache Center |
| 2:08.5 | and its predecessor program at Germantown Hospital, both in Philadelphia. |
| 2:15.5 | My work with headache patients has taught me something important, that there is a difference between those who treat their headache disorder |
| 2:24.5 | as the major definition of themselves and those who will take ownership of how they are going to be defined. |
| 2:33.5 | For the latter group, their headache may be a challenge, but challenges are things to be overcome. |
| 2:41.5 | At the same time, my professional career was evolving in this manner, something else was happening. |
| 2:48.5 | As happens to lots of people, I was getting older, and now I'm pretty old. |
| 2:54.5 | But I've got a lot of peers who are getting older too, and I've noticed that they've also fit into two different categories. |
