Every so often, we come across someone who is ripping up the rule book on aging. And we know we have to get them on the show.

Our guest this week is a 70 year old man named Mike Drak. Mike lives just north of Toronto. And he decided a few months ago that he wanted to lose a lot of weight, regain his health and keep it that way.

So, he committed to competing in a full triathlon in early August and began training hard. Here’s his story and it includes some disturbing details about his experience with a popular weight loss drug.

AI is all the buzz these days. And with good reason. It’s having an enormous impact on virtually every corner of the global economy and this is especially true when it comes to what is known as Age-Tech.

Think of Age-Tech as the intersection of an aging population and technology.

It’s a perfect example of how AI can help. Or not help.

There are potential problems with unfettered AI for the older population even alongside the many benefits.

Our contributor on POV this week, Ezra Schwartz, has plenty to say on the subject.

Millions of people around the world practice yoga. It’s an ancient form of exercise, originating in India more than 5 thousand years ago.

Used to be that you had to physically attend a yoga class to receive instruction but the combination of online technology and the pandemic has produced numerous ways to hit the mat, as they say, from the comfort of your own living room.

One of the best newsletters we’ve found on Substack on the subject of yoga is called Yoga Living 50 and Beyond. It’s the brainchild of our guest this week, Janine Agoglia who has really mastered the online format and tailors her classes for those over 50.
