AGEIST

The AGEIST podcast is where we rewrite life after 50. Hosted by David Stewart, founder of AGEIST and Super Age, we talk with extraordinary people—scientists, creatives, and thinkers—about living vibrantly in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. From longevity science to emotional well-being, fitness to purpose, we explore the tools and mindsets that help us stay curious, energized, and deeply engaged with life. This isn’t about aging gracefully—it’s about living boldly.

Dr. Michael Roizen: Can 90 Feel Like 40? Jul 23, 2026

Show notes

Longer life is changing what people over 50 expect from medicine, themselves, and the decades ahead. In this encore episode, Dr. Michael Roizen argues that aging is increasingly shaped by informed choices, while the current culture surrounding longevity struggles to separate useful evidence from expensive fads.

Roizen examines the science behind epigenetic switches, protein cycling, metformin, stem cells, cardiovascular risk, and balance. The conversation offers a practical framework for evaluating new claims, protecting physical and cognitive function, and asking better questions before adopting a new treatment or supplement.

Key Moments

“You’re a better genetic engineer for you than anyone else who went to Caltech or MIT.”

"Stressing the muscle not only repairs the muscle, but it turns on a gene that produces a small protein, which gets to the brain and makes the brain bigger. That’s why physical activity, we think, is so good for memory."

"Can we make a hundred year old person a 40 year old person? In other words, can we extend the period of life between when you’re most productive, your 40s to 60s, to being between 40 and 90? And that’s where a lot of the aging mechanism research is going."

Keep It Moving with Jill Brand Jul 15, 2026

Show notes

Longevity has become a status symbol, marketing term, and in some spaces, a kind of show. Jill Brand joins The AGEIST Podcast to talk about what gets lost when better living becomes another performance, and why movement remains one of the interventions that actually changes daily life.

As Head of Branding, Content, and Creative at Pvolve, Brand challenges us to think on muscle, mobility and stability, GLP-1s, injury prevention, and the psychology of trusting your body. The episode gives listeners a clearer way to think about fitness after 40. Rather than as punishment or spectacle, Jill urges us to consider it to be the work that keeps people independent, capable, and connected to the lives they still want to have.

Alisa Lask: The Exosome Era of Skincare Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

Episode 293 asks: what happens when beauty culture moves from correction toward regeneration, and why should we be more demanding about the evidence behind products that promise younger-looking skin? Alisa Lask, CEO of Rion Aesthetics and ( plated )™ Skin Science, explains exosomes as the body’s cellular messaging system, with platelet-derived signals that may support renewal, barrier function, and post-procedure recovery.

The conversation separates credible regenerative aesthetics from marketing noise, with practical guidance on PRP, lasers, sunscreen, skinspan, and what to ask before trusting any new skincare claim. Lask also discusses hair health, menopause-related thinning, and the larger possibility that exosomes may reshape how medicine thinks about repair.

Sheri Radel Rosenberg: A Midlife Trap Exposed Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

Is it possible that "midlife reinvention" is another way of telling people over 50 that they are failing? In this episode, AGEIST culture writer Sheri Radel Rosenberg joins David Stewart for a clear-eyed conversation about the pressure to find a new identity and turn aging into a public performance. Together they examine the difference between evolution and escape, from Instagram’s endless offers of transformation to menopause marketing, gray hair, empty nests, aging style, and the agency that accompanies self-knowledge. Rosenberg makes the case for looking back at the person you were before the world started editing you, then expanding upon the skills, taste, humor, and hard-earned clarity already in place.

Dr. William Li: Food, Fear, and Control Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

In this re-aired favorite conversation, Dr. William Li makes the case for a more reasonable way to think about health, one that gives people agency without trapping them in food fear, rigid rules, or social media panic. He reframes some of the biggest anxieties around aging, including cancer, inflammation, glucose, vascular health, and protein, with a physician-scientist’s insistence on context. The practical takeaways are clear: support blood vessel health, feed the microbiome, choose protein intelligently after 50, and understand how added sugar and natural sugars do very different things in the body. This is a conversation about using food as medicine in daily life, without turning health into another source of stress.

“But we all have cancer in our body, even children. Everybody has cancer.”

“Health care isn't what actually happens in the medical clinic. Medical clinics are used for disease care. Sick care. Health care is what actually happens at home.”

Stephanie Fairyington: When the World Stops Looking Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

What happens when aging and sexuality change not only how we look, but how much of the world looks at us? In this episode, writer Stephanie Fairyington joins David Stewart for a sharp conversation about beauty, the idea of “ugliness”, gender, queer identity, and the strange relief that can come when midlife loosens the grip of outside judgment.

Fairyington, author of Ugly: A Letter to My Daughter, argues that ugliness is not a personal failure but a cultural construction, one tied to femininity, visibility, motherhood, and power. The conversation moves from aging and female desirability to icons like Tammy Faye and Barbra Streisand as well as department-store mirrors and the work of deciding which cultural scripts are worth resisting.

Key Moments

“I experienced the wider culture's disinterest in me as a kind of gift. Like it's a shield or protection from unwanted detention so I can kind of move through the world peacefully without feeling like I'm being assessed and measured against whatever standard because I'm not young anymore.”

“I don't think that female desirability has an expiration date.”

“There's no real liberation from it. Like you can kind of become aware of the strings puppeteering your behavior, right? But you can't clip the strings, right?”

Adam Smith: Why We Feel So Fragmented Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

Adam Smith, MA, Senior Spiritual Wellness Provider at Canyon Ranch Tucson, brings clinical spiritual care training, pastoral care education, and years of experience supporting people through trauma, hospice, loss, and life transitions to the table. In this conversation with David Stewart, he argues that modern life has left many people overstimulated, over-measured, and disconnected from the deeper practices that make a life feel complete. .

Adam explains how choosing uncertainty over worry can create calm, why walking meditation can reconnect us to the body, and how flow state depends more on adaptability than mastery. As you listen, take note of his suggestions for practical language in resilience after 50: less obsession with control, more self-compassion, more presence, and a willingness to trade the spectacular for the nourishing.

Dr. Mohamed Abdulhamid: Restarting The Mind-Body Connection Jun 03, 2026

Show notes

What happens when the body no longer responds to effort the way it used to? Neurosurgeon and founder of Royal Spine Surgery, Dr. Mohamed Abdulhamid joins David Stewart to explain how recovery depends on communication between the brain, nerves, muscles, and joints, especially after surgery, injury, or long periods of compensation. David shares his own experience after knee surgery, when EXOMIND and Emsculpt Neo helped him feel calmer, sleep better, and get dormant muscles firing again. The conversation reframes personal bests as something less tied to youth and more connected to signal quality, resilience, and restoring trust in the body.

Key Moments

“Interestingly, what we really did is what I call ‘bioelectrical medicine.’”

“I would rather call it a neuromuscular reactivation.”

“I look at mental health and mental wellness as something no different than physical wellness.”

Dr. Nicole Moyen on The Body Clock We Ignore May 27, 2026

Show notes

For a generation raised to admire endurance, Dr. Nicole Moyen makes the case for sleep as a daily form of biological respect. In this conversation, she and David look at why body clocks become more important with age, why sleep regularity may matter more than people think, and why the 3 a.m. wakeup has become such a familiar midlife complaint. Nicole explains the science behind core temperature, deep sleep, REM, light sleep, glucose regulation, hot flashes, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular recovery, including Eight Sleep’s research on temperature regulation for peri- and postmenopausal women. The episode gives listeners a practical framework for thinking about the bedroom as an environment that can either support recovery or work against it.

Key Moments

“So I would say this is like the forgotten biological lever or key to good quality sleep.”

“And we saw that just sleeping on the pod with active temperature regulation throughout the night reduced hot flashes by 56 % on average.”

“Well, your body is essentially paralyzed. Your muscles are paralyzed during REM sleep. And your temperature regulation is also impaired during REM sleep.”

Angélica Fuentes On A New Era of Women Leading May 20, 2026

Show notes

Angélica Fuentes, business executive, founder, and women’s equality advocate, belongs to a generation of women refusing the old script that ambition narrows with age, power comes from status, and reinvention has a deadline. She talks about building companies in male-dominated industries, becoming a CEO at 29, advocating for women long before corporate equality became fashionable, and starting NOWFUL in her 60s. Listen to gain a sharper way to think about rest, resilience, self-worth, and the daily practices that make a person harder to break. Fuentes’ story is not about returning to who she was before loss, but about using age, motherhood, and hard-earned wisdom to build from a deeper place.
