Video Transcript: Dr. Weil Reflects on Turning 70
Turning 60 was big for me because it really made me face the fact that I have less life ahead of me than I have behind me and felt like a divide in my life. 70, I think is another big milestone because I can’t escape the fact that I’m old. You know, I’m an elder; that’s a polite way of saying that I’m old. When I was growing up, 70 seemed ancient. Now I think many 70 year olds today are different from the way 70 year olds were when I was growing up. I think that’s a result of people having better information and better products and services and better preventive medical care. I’ve been blessed with good health; I‘m active. I feel changes in my body, but you know I can’t escape the fact that I’ve lived for 70 years. I see many of my contemporaries who are not in very good shape and I get calls from people I went to college with and high school with who are now facing really serious health crises and life-threatening illnesses. As I say, I feel blessed about that but I’m also aware that, you know, I’ve seen in my own parents and people I know, that the decade between 70 and 80 is often a decade of decline and a decade of change. I want to be prepared for that and I guess I feel that what’s most important is to find a balance between denying the reality of aging and being overly obsessed with it. And I think both of those are pitfalls. You know, I want to be aware of my limitations and changes in my body and possible risks. I want to be especially vigilant about my physical health and keeping my mind active and at the same time I don’t want to dwell on the negative possibilities of aging. So I think finding that balance is going to be important for me.
I just turned 70 today and I’m in reasonably good health. I’m active. I have my own RUclips channel which necessitates travel sometimes I get tired but the enthusiasm for what I’m doing helps keep me awake. to sleep I have to take medication. I see some of my classmates who don’t look good at my age. They’re worn out, sickly. I just don’t believe in letting myself go to the point where I can’t enjoy things so I hope God keeps me on this earth for a while longer so I can enjoy doing the things I like to do.
Happy belated birthday, Dr. Weil. May you continue to grow and educate well into your 80's and beyond. You're a great inspiration to me, thank you for all that you do.

I forgot. Brain Octane Oil(brand name) is pure Caprylic Acid made from coconut oil.
I'm getting a HSAM memory and it is photographic😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁, at, "75."
I liked your book.
Spermidine makes the hair black again and Ecklonia Cava reviews your hair.
I wish you luck. Also, Japan sells hydronic acid for the skin. Just buy it from them and they also sell Elastin. Hemp oil helps to replace elastin in the skin.
I wish more people would listen to you. I share
Erik Erikson has a good book on later adulthood
Catalase will also make your hair black, over time. I've done it but it simply turned from pure white to gray
Happy Birthday you old fart!:) Just kidding- I only have love and respect for you. Good thing the cannabis is available to help with the problems to aging and I give thanks for that especially.
