    04: Sally K. Norton: Beware of the Toxins in Your "Superfoods"
    Oct 9 2025

    In today’s conversation, I speak with Sally Norton, a nutritionist with a unique specialty— warning us that “healthy” eating, and so-called superfoods, can make us sick. Like most of us, I grew up with, and have an ingrained belief, that fruits and vegetables are good and essential to a healthy diet. Although I knew that plant toxins like phytates and oxalates in excess could cause mineral deficiencies, kidney stones and gout, I had not considered the health burden that may be imposed on individuals and society consuming a plant only diet. Popular foods such as spinach, sweet potatoes, chocolate, and almonds contain large amounts of naturally occurring toxins called oxalate. Health research and educator, Sally K. Norton, MPH, studies the science of oxalates, and how our healthy diets may ironically be undermining our health.
    Sally K. Norton, MPH, earned her nutrition degree from Cornell University. By sharing her own experience and knowledge of oxalates, she has helped many people improve their health and recover from serious illnesses, chronic pain, kidney problems, osteopenia, and chronic infections by making simple changes to their diet.

    In this episode, Dr. Gillian Lockitch and Dr. Cathy Goldstein uncover hidden truths of the beauty industry. While fillers, Botox, and injectables dominate today’s aesthetic market, Cathy Goldstein explains how these treatments can interfere with facial expression, emotional intelligence, and even brain health.

    227 Avita Yoga and the Healing Power of Joint Compression with Jeff Bailey
    Sep 22 2025
    In this episode of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch speaks with Jeff Bailey, creator of Avita Yoga, about the power of joint compression in preserving mobility and independence. Jeff explains how distinguishing between pain and healing sensation can transform the way we move, age, and heal. He shares simple yet powerful practices for maintaining mobility in joints—especially hands, hips, and spine—and emphasizes how combining diet with consistent compression keeps arthritis at bay. This conversation will inspire you to trust your body’s intuition and embrace mobility as a lifelong practice for vibrant aging. Jeff Bailey has centered his life around yoga since 1985, teaching over 13,000 classes and workshops. After sustaining a severe hip injury in a skiing accident, Jeff discovered the critical role of joint compression in healing and long-term mobility. He studied Rolfing Structural Integration at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute, where he trained in fascia-focused bodywork. Jeff credits this most valuable yoga teacher training he ever received, with shaping the development of his innovative Avita Yoga. By integrating Rolfing principles of fascia reorganization with mindful, joint-targeted movement, Jeff created a practice that has helped thousands overcome pain, restore mobility, and even avoid joint replacements. He is the author of The Yoga Mind and the forthcoming Mobility for Life: Healthy Joints, Strong Bones, and a Peaceful Mind with Avita Yoga. Time Line 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction Dr. Gillian Lockitch frames the show’s focus on mobility, joint health, and aging youthfully. 02:09 – Jeff’s Background & Early Influences Childhood in Colorado, exposure to body mechanics through veterinary work, discovery of yoga, and transition to Rolfing. 06:35 – Fascia, Rolfing & Yoga Integration How Rolfing shaped Jeff’s approach to yoga and led to Avita Yoga principles. 09:41 – Joint Compression as a Healing Tool From hip injury to breakthrough: why bones and joints thrive under thoughtful compression. 12:47 – Pain vs. Healing Sensation Why avoiding pain narrows life; how to approach sensation with curiosity and safety. 16:04 – Active Participation in Healing Movement-based fascia work, why “stretching” is misunderstood, and how Avita targets joints. 20:01 – Preventing Arthritis & Family Health Lessons Stories of preventing arthritic changes; Jeff’s tips for daily prevention through mobility and nutrition. 23:00 – Hand & Finger Mobility Exercises to fully use the hands, sustain function, and prevent decline. 28:24 – Yoga as Undoing barriers to mobility rather than chasing perfection in movement. 31:24 – Key Takeaways Trust intuition, welcome sensation, undo resistance, and embrace mobility as a path to peace.

    "The choices you make, your thoughts, what you eat, how you move, how you interact with others, can change your aging at the cellular level.' (Gillian Lockitch)

    Welcome to Growing Older, Living Younger (GOLY), the podcast where you will discover ways to boost your metabolism, enhance your mental and physical energy, and ward off disorders we wrongly think are inevitable as we age.
