What a fantastic interview! My parents are both 86 and 85, dad still drives, does grocery shopping for the family, does his research and still publishes scientific articles. Being a scientist his whole life, he now makes amazingly creative sculptures out of driftwood and my mom figured out how to pay via PayPal for her online craft workshops and creates new crafts all the time. Mindset is definitely the key as they, being from the old European school, do not let pain here and there slow them down. I hope I inherit this resilience and life ethics !
I love to read this Gaya, happy for you and your parents! Until recently I talked regularly on the phone to a dear friend aged 103. I 'found' him on my mother's telephone list after she had died. We had 2 1/2 years of wonderful exchange, a mutual admiration society that included my sister in Canada. His age was like a goal post .. to anchor my hopes and visions.. so there could be another 30 and more years in it for me ... His peaceful departure last month feels like a great loss, but I understand, he let go at the stage where he would have had to move to a care unit, and he wanted to keep control of his life and days and actions. I would like to exchange thoughts and humour and wisdom with other positive and optimistically minded older people. Where do they hang out ;-)?
Truly inspirational talk, I have enjoyed it so much and have been motivated with new ideas! The bonus at the end about 82 being the happiest age - I just turned 82 two weeks ago! I feel so much better already. Thanks to both of you.!
My dear mother who passed in June at age 80 suffered with extreme dementia. She was non verbal and non ambulatory the last 5 years of her life. Yet at Christmas she sang Christmas songs, weakly, just 18 months before her death. Bless you Mum.
there are more neurons activated in person to person encounter, more senses involved: visual, tactile, auditory, olfactory. vision takes up the most brain activity but tactile takes up the most emotional facet. so person to person encounters are far more consequential than digital encounters for the brain and heart.
olfactory is linked to memory and eroticism & likely stroger than touch but not easy to do compative study Erotics is most powerful emotional facet and engages all senses plus sexual touch but i have a bias smell is at the top in Erotics too but people shy away from researching eotics May be hold sex games Olmpics every 4 years !I can promise 10 times more spectators
My grandma who is 99 has been very jolly and calm all her life. Never had a job, studied only 8 classes, no high school, fasted twice a weak (vegan), drank little, no smoking, no drugs, everything in moderation.
everything in moderation works out best everything is a toxin - moderation makes poison good for you - its called hormesis Use toxins like glass of wine for longevity
There's so many lonely people in the world. Staying connected gets harder and harder the older you get, because friends and family die and your circle gets smaller and smaller. Or they're in poor health and don't want to be bothered because they don't feel well. I can't count the number of times I've stayed in a store talking to another shopper or even an employee for 10 minutes or more because they clearly needed to talk to someone and I always feel honored they choose me so I listen. And yes I've been guilty of doing that as well 😁
Thank you ever so much, I love and loved the two of you. Delightful conversation and bloody interesting information as well as confirmation. I will write an article around this podcast and send it to my relations and friends. At the age of 63 now and having for some years lost my reasons for being on this planet, i got it back a couple of years ago so i can assure that ageing is a pleasure. I'm happier now than i've ever been. With your input i will work again on my will power and persistence to do more things which help my body to stay in shape and healthy and to write the books i have in my head for so long.

New information... New knowledge... I've learnt a lot from this conversation. Now it's time to re appraise life and day today living... Adjust as much as possible. 82 is another exciting number to look forward to.

What a wonderful interview. One of my favorites so far (and that’s saying something as I love them all). I came away with so many inspirations and ideas on how to better myself (and have recommended my 78 year old Mum listen to this too). I love hearing about people who go the extra mile to perfect whatever they are doing, no matter how small the task. It motivates me to apply this work ethic to my own life every day. This surely raises the level of satisfaction we feel every day of our lives, which in turn must make us happier and nicer people to be around. Congratulations to you both - the interaction, respect and kindness you both portrayed was so uplifting. Thank you so much.
I enjoyed the interview very much. Great content. Wonderful sense of timing with Dr. Chatterjee questions and his allowance for his guests to answer in full detail. Fascinating subject matter talking about health. So simple, yet so unique.
Dr. Leviten your Podcast is one of my favorite mental & physical health information and encouragement I have ever heard. Your passion and curiosity for life shows, which is infectious.
Why should people go to the doctor whenever something feels wrong but most doctors never think much and just prescribe pills. Most pills supress the symptoms while what is mostly needed is a change of eating habits, exercise etc
So found the discussion very helpful but also confirmation that I am on track I an seventy eight live on my own a widow and am happy but I do miss my husband.
Taking B12 sublingual greatly helped my memory 20 years ago when in my 40's. I feared not being able to continue working until retirement. I forgot names, numbers, lost words, couldn't multitask well. Now I am postponing retirement easily! I must maintain the B12, however.
The educational part of this interview really hit home, because as of recent I have chosen the path of homeschooling my children and it was exactly for that reason as to what you guys are saying I want my son to be able to teach himself and become curious in learning and most of all learn self discipline and independence he is only 7 years old however I find that the more room and less pressure you give children the more they develop interests which isnt being pushed down their throats, however I have been scrutinised for my decisions even by family members but I can see the bigger picture of what I'm trying to accomplish for my children and I'm also sacrificing my own time into study with them and I myself am studying Naturopathic medicine etc and I love spending time with my children, i understand my choices may not be for everyone but i think in the long run it's a great achievement for my own sanity lol and for my boys work ethic 😊
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW-book sounds great-but the key is clearly to develop the skills we really need to achieve good health & wellbeing.Conscientiousness (being dependable, organised and hard-working. Likely to be well-planned and approach things methodically and thoroughly. More likely to be self-disciplined towards study, exercise and diet.) can be developed throughout life by focusing on developing these skills: Effective learning-so that they can learn how the key factors contribute towards achieving success.Communication -so that they can concentrate intently and avoid being distracted.Cognition-so they can think analytically and conceptually, to understand the ‘big picture’ and make good decisions for the long term.Self-awareness- so that they can see the benefits of short term pain to achieve long term gain Self-management-to ensure they control their impulses and avoid the ‘quick fixes’ that provide the distractions preventing success.Motivation - so that they do not ‘fear failure’, have become resilient and learn from setbacks to not give up. People who are poorly developed in these skills are likely to be unreliable, disorganised, lazy with chaotic lifestyles. keeffeeley@hotmail.co.uk
THANK YOU BOTH...lovely, beautiful, true. (I felt) Inspiring to engage in, keep opening, remembering, nurturing our minds and bodies, it IS a wonderful message to everyone. ❤️🎊
Outstanding interview ! I learned a lot. I grew up in Westport Ct and knew Dr Peter Huttenlocher, was a very good friend of his daughter, at the time that he did his groundbreaking research in neuroplasticity. I have since noted that he, his wife, and 3 children knew a second language & played the violin, and each tremendously excelled in their respective careers over the next 30 years. BTW Dr Chatterjee, you rock :)
Such an inspiring talk !!!! An attitude of gratitude indeed 🙏 focusing on what i have rather than what i dont have ...!!! The Dalai Lama meditates on gratitude for 2 hours or more.!!!!! What an inspiration
Keep your brain healthy and young with music! Whether you need to relax, increase your energy, improve your thinking, or just get motivated for the day, music can provide extra support when you need it the most, according to Harvard Health.
Hello Dr Chatterjee!! I believe I first found you on Rich Roll...and maybe Simon Hill.... I have been following your podcast now and have to say I am LOVING IT! Awesome conversations.... interesting conversations...it's Brilliantl! Congratulations ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 I am learning so much...AND helping my brain health 🙏
Determination & persistence. I have a similar background to the Chinese rural lady. However I do believe there is a power/ intelligence within each of us that we are born with.’ Almost like we choose before we come here how we will end up.
Dr Rangan Chatterjee I am in Vancouver, Canada. I do have a lot of family in the states. I found you initially by taking your masterclass on the Calm app. I found it extremely practical and was inspired to dive deeper.
To amplify brain health you have to have sharp brain to begin with. If you were to begin taking notes in the brainn and not on paper you are in luck. If you need to take written notes you are not a suitable candidate for benefit from knowledge to make the brain sharper or smarter. That is the catch with this sefl help advice. The global trend is humans are becoming less smart not more. While there is an apperance that humans are becoming smarter converse is true. Only their smartphones are smarter not humans. Stop using GPS and use a hand developed map to drive. Their brain content is becoming dumber or Cognitive Content is Getting Dumber Listen to Alexander Macris ruclips.net/video/tJtEbvSOd_E/видео.html
Wonderful talk 🎉Loved the reference to the need to also eliminate age-ism. If you didn’t know how Ins you are, how old would you think you’d be, is a good question to ask oneself periodically 😅 that way perhaps one gives up on the futile notion of what a certain age is “supposed” to look like 😊
Your Amazing doctor chaterjee! The questions you ask and soft tone of voice really relaxes me. Also you're guest are super interesting. Keep up the good work.
I notic e when I have had extreme pain what helps most is to focus on something else, I sometimes dont even notice the pain is gone while i was busy eldewhere
Great talk. I especially liked the idea of micro conversations. I am the queen of Micro Conversations and yet when I try to engage store workers, if they're young, they don't respond. They stare off into the distance- not looking anywhere close to where I'm standing- and they act as if they don't know how to, nor care to respond. THEIR body language is saying loud and clear: what is the goal;what is the purpose? There is no goal, no purpose.I'm just chatting, shooting the breeze. I've noticed this again and again. It makes me sad and fearful. If this is where they're at, it's not a very good place. After hearing Dr Levitin speaking about this, I realized I'm missing a very important component of life as the young person on the other side stands silent as a rock. They make u feel like you're the odd one out-the older women who is without purpose. Yet, I've done micro conversations my whole life. It is only relatively recently, the last 10 or 20 years, that I've noticed I'm chatting with a brick wall. And, yes, I believe social media is at the bottom of it!
This is a very interesting conversation with a lot of good points, but for Dr. Levitin to say at the end that there is no proven diet that has not been proven to be superior to others, that is simply NOT TRUE. There are great body of evidence that some diets are much better than others to prevent and even reverse chronic conditions. This idea of throw the word moderation when recommending people to do things, it's empty and vague. What is moderation? Very subjective and one would not know what that means. I love this podcast and listen to it frequently. Keep up the good work Dr. Chatterjee.
Excellent inspiring informative session!! Having a decade plus on Leviton was able to give myself pats on back and find ways of dealing with "those areas needing improvement"!! Great presentation - many thanks!
THANK YOU THIS WAS WONDERFUL FOR MY COGNITIVE RESERVE, MY ARTWORK NEEDS MORE OF THIS INFORMATION GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE..MOST GRATEFUL...BE BLESSED IN GRACE. CONTINUE AND CONGRATULATIONS..
Rangan, thank you again for another engaging and informative conversation with a wonderful guest. I truly enjoy the fresh conversational format over the more traditional interview style. After listening today I wondered: Are you are familiar with the book Bolder: Making the Most of Our Longer Lives by Carl Honore (author of In Praise of Slow)? If not, I would highly recommend him as a guest. He debunks the common narratives surrounding ageing with the facts based on scientific study. He describes ageism as the "last form of discrimination" that goes on unchecked. He also points out that the media perpetuates the false and toxic narrative and has done done so with increasing vigor over the past 150 years. I have heard him interviewed and I think you would find a conversation with him fascinating.
One reality is that most of the people have a fixed mind that they cannot control their health but it goes as per destiny. What , I feel , is that every doctor should tell their patient that one have to take responsibilities in their health and anyone can age more than 100 years of living without getting ill, and they need not suffer with long term illness before they die. There are no disceases which comes to anyone unless they do not take care eating all junk food and stressed with no sleep atc.
Regarding education for children. There is a curriculum that gives children agency over their education. Each student works independently as there are no teachers. You get one small booklet per subject that provides an explanation of the subject matter and then steps through examples gradually. First you try some problems and then reference the answers. Then you work up to take a quiz. To get the quiz answers, you have to go to a scoring table where you get a red pen and can access the answers and then you must mark what is wrong and calculate your score. If you pass you can move forward if not you repeat. If you don't score yourself honestly you then will face the consequences because at the end of each booklet you must take a test sitting at an empty table with only you the test and a pencil. That test is scored by an adult. You get two goal cards and you must set your own goals by figuring out how many pages in each booklet you have to do each day to get to where you want to be by year end. You have a weekly goal card that you put the number of pages to do in each subject each day for that week. You have a yearly goal card where you put a star under the month where you passed the test for a booklet and each quarter you must know how many stars you need for each subject to accomplish the goal you set for the year. It goes on, but I learned to set goals and track progress, I learned how to teach myself whatever I need to know, and I learned the value of not cheating because your not cheating anyone but yourself and you literally cannot move forward until you understand that. The only issue I have with that curriculum is the overwhelming religious agenda. If you could find a curriculum that used the same educational process, minus religion, you would have a curriculum that would teach your children how set goals and achieve them by teaching themselves. The curriculum is Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.).
Servitude Singlemindedness - Ikigai - Is Key Determinant of rate of aging - it is genetic. Selfish stupid doomed to suffer and make up 96% of human race!
Ok good stuff but I was totally distracted by the fact that you mentioned Crowded House :D As a New Zealander it makes me proud to see them mentioned across the seas!
One of my favorite bands ever. Lived in Remuera/Newmarket and they lived in Ponsonby. Could see them washing the car , Neil and son Liam , through the fence!! An American missing NZ.
I’m the US and I loved Crowded House and the Finns! Also when Split Enz came out I was so sure they were going to be the new Beatles. Sigh. So many great songs!
We always need relationship with joy and love and life - great stories of how small things can be very important and I did love the “ having microconversations” in the Real World - to meet and relate in Real life - no doubt that we need the nonverbal - the total feel of aliveness and connection - its a sharing of being in the “sea of love and life”
Dr Chatterjee: FYI - my Bronx born Mom is in a Small New Jersey nursing home where someone innocently with no malice walked into her room and infected her with COVID19.... mom has many pre-existing conditions some conditions had brought her to death store an embolism in her leg, so many neurological problems they labeled her Parkinson's now what they're doing is they're doing a much broader inclusive range of what Parkinson's is.... Before she lost the ability to completely walk she did stutter steps her hands do stutter movements and then freeze.... She was bleeding from a cancerous tumor in her intestines... That was when she was in assisted living in Connecticut near must killed her with their neglect and lack of care she had to get a full blood transfusion, New Jersey the nursing home looked into the bleeding she had cancer surgery -- she's now out of quarantine she's one of the teeny teeny group that has survived so far I sent her Mother's Day flowers a week early and they're still with her in her new temporary room. Some staff had quit on the spot to protect their love ones at home so the nursing home is shortstaffed. I continue to suffer horrific PTSD insomnia because the doctor where I was violated continues to lie along with his powerful enabler's protecting even more wrongdoing as we head towards it eight years more crimes were committed to years ago during legal proceedings perjury by him and his employee employee did a running punched my head. In New York they are Teflon for instance he had no guidelines for the office he didn't interview her for the job he didn't check her references he did not investigate what happened to me he lied under oath it didn't happen on his property they both lied but when they occasionally told the truth it was damning. I had to get surgery in my left eye to repair the retina... I was holding bags many of them my left arm was numb from having a cyst removed and had a protest sign that we need a trauma level one hospital in the West Village to replace St. Vincent's Hospital which also had a rape crisis center not Rudin luxury condos. The amount of powerfully connected people that push through those condos along with political players and so many others I wonder if they even for moment have a second of guilt as we are suffering a horrific pandemic and we need trauma level in hospitals more than ever and we always need trauma level one with rape crisis center in a big city like New York we are victims are often turned away by the NYPD and the Manhattan DA who protected all crimes in my case and years before I contacted them about Jeffrey Epstein... I was sexually assaulted at the doctors by the woman who attacked me using her barefoot after I said don't touch my body so I'm stuck in a trauma loop and I know some people don't like it that I'm repetitive but that's part of a trauma loop and ask anybody who's a victim of trauma and violence that doesn't have justice or an expert on trauma if it's a choice because it's not a choice to be stuck in a trauma loop I should've been safe at a doctors I went to a doctors office for peace of mind.... and I continue to be harmed because in New York it's open season to violate the Hippocratic oath to violate patient rights and for ab NYPD yo break laws and violate our civil rights! I emailed so many politicians you've got to take action you've got to do something also we need more protections for medical patients that they have to be safe at a doctors office or hospital... now a woman from my neighborhood elderly IS DEAD was punched by a woman At the hospital where she should've been safe but unlike the woman who punched me this woman had a criminal record and she had an over the top response to anxiety about social distancing she was arrested zero arrest in my case and they conspired as a group they meaning the doctors office certain people and that doctors office along with the NYPD Internal Affairs to a race all crimes in the Manhattan DA protected that just like they protect a Jeffrey Epstein/Maxwell and to lower his sex offender status so he could just continue on in New York business as usual.at hospital hospital where she should've been safe but unlike the woman who punched me this woman had a criminal record and she had an over-the-top response to anxiety about social distancing she was arrested 0arrests and mycase and they conspired as a group they meaning the doctors office certain people in the doctors office along with the NYPD Internal Affairs to ersse all crimes in the Manhattan DA Protected that just like they protect Jeffrey Epstein trying to lower his sex offender status so he could just continue on in New York business as usual ....

I knew that the gut produces the majority of the serotonin in the body, but I thought it doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier. Meaning that all the serotonin used by the brain is produces there.
Dr. Chatterjee has really good guests. My challenge in listening to these podcasts is that he spends way more time talking, rather than, letting his guest talk. Instead of putting through his own thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc. It would be more helpful to narrow it down to a question to get to the guest's thoughts, ideas, research, etc. at a greater and deeper level. Another thing he does is paraphrasing his guests ideas by applying an example from his own life or practice. This is unnecessary (at least with this guest who is really clear on his communication) and takes the focus off the guest and wastes time.
Hey Suzanne, appreciate your comments. I can see that my style does not really appeal to you. Many others really like this conversational style. I have thought about this long and hard before and am very clear that my podcast is not an 'interview' - it is an organic conversation between two people sharing ideas. I hope you still manage to enjoy the conversations but, if not, these guests often appear on different podcasts so, perhaps, one of those might suit you better? Thanks Rangan
Allopathic Medical Doctors are only interested in promoting Big-Pharmaceutical remedies, they don't even know or consider Homeopathic medications, how can that be? I truly admire Joni Mitchell's music but she is a chain smoker, all four of my aunts smoked, they all died of lung cancer. Excellent show.
He died of a heart attack while jogging at 52 years of age ! ok maybe he ignited his genetic heart predisposition! i wouldn't so i prefer a long active walk
Rare cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy die from exertion ! You cant pull trigger on a genetic heart predisposition except hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Thanks Julie - appreciate your comments. For context, that is the only thing I think he said about medications in the whole 90 minute conversations. Most of his recommendations are lifestyle related. Hope you managed to get some value from the conversation, nonetheless.
@Julie T I hope you reconsider. Viewed objectively, there's nothing wrong with drugs per se. Natural remedies with healing properties are also "drugs" and some have contraindications. Drugs, whether natural or synthetic, are useful tools and can be used to do the job of assisting the body in healing. The overuse or reliance on drugs instead of making beneficial lifestyle choices which create optimal health is what becomes problematic.
I never wrote the entry below - never listened to the presentation - this is bollocks and self promotion. It is very sad that Chatterjee's fine work is now being infected with this tosh!
For some reason this guy seems like a joker range how did you keep a straight face he looks like a joker mixed with deniro should be an actor well done
Wonderful life enhancing conversation. My privilege to be that fly on the wall and able to listen. At 70 I said I was in my "bonus years" but now at 79 I've found the prospect of 80 a little daunting so what luck to tune in to this!!! Gratitude and heartfelt thanks abound! Also Dr Chattergee, after, I realised that from your excellent "Doctor in the House" series, you were responsible for my amazingly easy weight adjustment from obese to normal!!! More thank yous and gratitude and very big smiles.
PS I've had ME/CFS for most of my life and always welcome any positive helpful ideas. So far my own form of slow yoga, breath and voice work have helped, of course with all the lifestyle possibilities of de stressing, diet, and so on. I've not found any Doctors who are interested as obviously there's no quick fix pill but there is something that happens with exercise that knocks me out. Oh, well, my curiosity will keep me going but it is very lonely. Or unhelpfully alone. Walking will be my next goal.
What a fantastic interview! My parents are both 86 and 85, dad still drives, does grocery shopping for the family, does his research and still publishes scientific articles. Being a scientist his whole life, he now makes amazingly creative sculptures out of driftwood and my mom figured out how to pay via PayPal for her online craft workshops and creates new crafts all the time. Mindset is definitely the key as they, being from the old European school, do not let pain here and there slow them down. I hope I inherit this resilience and life ethics !

More likely to be self-disciplined towards study, exercise and diet.) can be developed throughout life by focusing on developing these skills: Effective learning-so that they can learn how the key factors contribute towards achieving success.Communication -so that they can concentrate intently and avoid being distracted.Cognition-so they can think analytically and conceptually, to understand the ‘big picture’ and make good decisions for the long term.Self-awareness- so that they can see the benefits of short term pain to achieve long term gain Self-management-to ensure they control their impulses and avoid the ‘quick fixes’ that provide the distractions preventing success.Motivation - so that they do not ‘fear failure’, have become resilient and learn from setbacks to not give up.
People who are poorly developed in these skills are likely to be unreliable,
disorganised, lazy with chaotic lifestyles. keeffeeley@hotmail.co.uk
Such a great conversation. Thank you Dr. Chatterjee and Dr. Levitin
Thx both of you Dr Rangan Chatterjee and dr Dan Levitin , sweet hearts and inspirational human beings.
I would like to say one thing: joie de vivre. This guy makes growing old(er) like hard work! Surely, ageing well doesn't have to be this complicated!
THANK YOU BOTH...lovely, beautiful, true. (I felt) Inspiring to engage in, keep opening, remembering, nurturing our minds and bodies, it IS a wonderful message to everyone. ❤️🎊
Thanks Jina. Thanks for taking time to watch!
Dr Rangan Chatterjee, thank you for taking time to say, “Thank you :).”
lovely, beautiful,
Outstanding interview ! I learned a lot. I grew up in Westport Ct and knew Dr Peter Huttenlocher, was a very good friend of his daughter, at the time that he did his groundbreaking research in neuroplasticity. I have since noted that he, his wife, and 3 children knew a second language & played the violin, and each tremendously excelled in their respective careers over the next 30 years. BTW Dr Chatterjee, you rock :)
Such an inspiring talk !!!! An attitude of gratitude indeed 🙏 focusing on what i have rather than what i dont have ...!!! The Dalai Lama meditates on gratitude for 2 hours or more.!!!!! What an inspiration
Keep your brain healthy and young with music! Whether you need to relax, increase your energy, improve your thinking, or just get motivated for the day, music can provide extra support when you need it the most, according to Harvard Health.
Hello Dr Chatterjee!! I believe I first found you on Rich Roll...and maybe Simon Hill.... I have been following your podcast now and have to say I am LOVING IT! Awesome conversations.... interesting conversations...it's Brilliantl! Congratulations ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 I am learning so much...AND helping my brain health 🙏
I have only recently been introduced to your podcasts... I'm on a roll, thank you so much for the inspirational messages.
Determination & persistence. I have a similar background to the Chinese rural lady. However I do believe there is a power/ intelligence within each of us that we are born with.’ Almost like we choose before we come here how we will end up.
This is one of the most interesting and informative podcasts I have ever heard. Thank you both!
Excellent interview on pain and aging, especially toward the end. I look forward to age 82 when we’re the happiest. Late 70’s is my age.
Dr. Chatterjee. I love your book "Making Disease ..." I just bought a second copy for my parents. Thank you for this video.
Hey Mathew - thanks so much. Delighted you like the book - hope your parents enjoy as well. Are you based in the US?
Dr Rangan Chatterjee I am in Vancouver, Canada. I do have a lot of family in the states. I found you initially by taking your masterclass on the Calm app. I found it extremely practical and was inspired to dive deeper.
Meditation is one of the best health choices for everyone! 😊
i recall that James Fixx the writer of the complete book of running , died early !!
Running increases cortisol and weakens the heart muscle. He may also have had a pre-existing cardiopathy.
Absolutely wonderful stuff. Everybody on this planet should wach you 2 fellas talking. Great work!
wow!!! that is amazing, so honest, beautiful talk! i need to watch once again to make a lot of notes!
To amplify brain health you have to have sharp brain to begin with. If you were to begin taking notes in the brainn and not on paper you are in luck. If you need to take written notes you are not a suitable candidate for benefit from knowledge to make the brain sharper or smarter. That is the catch with this sefl help advice. The global trend is humans are becoming less smart not more. While there is an apperance that humans are becoming smarter converse is true. Only their smartphones are smarter not humans. Stop using GPS and use a hand developed map to drive. Their brain content is becoming dumber or Cognitive Content is Getting Dumber Listen to Alexander Macris ruclips.net/video/tJtEbvSOd_E/видео.html
Wonderful talk 🎉Loved the reference to the need to also eliminate age-ism. If you didn’t know how Ins you are, how old would you think you’d be, is a good question to ask oneself periodically 😅 that way perhaps one gives up on the futile notion of what a certain age is “supposed” to look like 😊
Your Amazing doctor chaterjee! The questions you ask and soft tone of voice really relaxes me. Also you're guest are super interesting. Keep up the good work.
I notic e when I have had extreme pain what helps most is to focus on something else, I sometimes dont even notice the pain is gone while i was busy eldewhere
Great talk. I especially liked the idea of micro conversations. I am the queen of Micro Conversations and yet when I try to engage store workers, if they're young, they don't respond. They stare off into the distance- not looking anywhere close to where I'm standing- and they act as if they don't know how to, nor care to respond. THEIR body language is saying loud and clear: what is the goal;what is the purpose? There is no goal, no purpose.I'm just chatting, shooting the breeze. I've noticed this again and again. It makes me sad and fearful. If this is where they're at, it's not a very good place. After hearing Dr Levitin speaking about this, I realized I'm missing a very important component of life as the young person on the other side stands silent as a rock. They make u feel like you're the odd one out-the older women who is without purpose. Yet, I've done micro conversations my whole life. It is only relatively recently, the last 10 or 20 years, that I've noticed I'm chatting with a brick wall. And, yes, I believe social media is at the bottom of it!
So much good information in this episode. Thank you!
Thanks Joanna. Appreciate you watching and taking time to feedback. Have a lovely day!
This is a very interesting conversation with a lot of good points, but for Dr. Levitin to say at the end that there is no proven diet that has not been proven to be superior to others, that is simply NOT TRUE. There are great body of evidence that some diets are much better than others to prevent and even reverse chronic conditions. This idea of throw the word moderation when recommending people to do things, it's empty and vague. What is moderation? Very subjective and one would not know what that means. I love this podcast and listen to it frequently. Keep up the good work Dr. Chatterjee.
Very interesting ,
therapy through music 🎶
Congratulations🎼
Thank you both for such a friendly, engaging conversation! 😊
I loved this conversation. So inspiring and uplifting. I love to learn new things and I earned a lot from this !
Excellent inspiring informative session!! Having a decade plus on Leviton was able to give myself pats on back and find ways of dealing with "those areas needing improvement"!! Great presentation - many thanks!
Leviton?
I DID NOT WRITE THIS ENTRY - YOU ARE BEING CONNED
Nice to have a Calcutta connection with Rangan.. Very much inspired by his work.
Thanks Dr. Chatterjee for bringing this interview to us.👍
VERY INFORMATIVE INFORMATION
THANK YOU THIS WAS WONDERFUL FOR MY COGNITIVE RESERVE, MY ARTWORK NEEDS MORE OF THIS INFORMATION GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE..MOST GRATEFUL...BE BLESSED IN GRACE. CONTINUE AND CONGRATULATIONS..
Rangan, thank you again for another engaging and informative conversation with a wonderful guest. I truly enjoy the fresh conversational format over the more traditional interview style.
After listening today I wondered: Are you are familiar with the book Bolder: Making the Most of Our Longer Lives by Carl Honore (author of In Praise of Slow)? If not, I would highly recommend him as a guest.
He debunks the common narratives surrounding ageing with the facts based on scientific study. He describes ageism as the "last form of discrimination" that goes on unchecked. He also points out that the media perpetuates the false and toxic narrative and has done done so with increasing vigor over the past 150 years. I have heard him interviewed and I think you would find a conversation with him fascinating.
What a great discussion. Probably the one I’ve enjoyed the most so far. Could have listened to more - hope you can do a follow-up in the future.
What an incredible Podcast...!!!
Fabulous conversation, looking forward to 82 now!! Thanks!!
One reality is that most of the people have a fixed mind that they cannot control their health but it goes as per destiny. What , I feel , is that every doctor should tell their patient that one have to take responsibilities in their health and anyone can age more than 100 years of living without getting ill, and they need not suffer with long term illness before they die. There are no disceases which comes to anyone unless they do not take care eating all junk food and stressed with no sleep atc.
You have wonderful videos
Yes they are absolutely 💯 wonderful just found this today will be listening to them everyday I've just turned. Thank you 😊 Thank you
Thank you for this interview. Very helpful, interesting. Great atmosphere. I enjoyed this very much 👍😊
Mindset is important good thoughts positive thinking healthy eating always active having good habits looking forward for bright life no worries ❤️🇸🇽🇺🇸
@smileen - thank you - have changed it now!

Regarding education for children. There is a curriculum that gives children agency over their education. Each student works independently as there are no teachers. You get one small booklet per subject that provides an explanation of the subject matter and then steps through examples gradually. First you try some problems and then reference the answers. Then you work up to take a quiz. To get the quiz answers, you have to go to a scoring table where you get a red pen and can access the answers and then you must mark what is wrong and calculate your score. If you pass you can move forward if not you repeat. If you don't score yourself honestly you then will face the consequences because at the end of each booklet you must take a test sitting at an empty table with only you the test and a pencil. That test is scored by an adult. You get two goal cards and you must set your own goals by figuring out how many pages in each booklet you have to do each day to get to where you want to be by year end. You have a weekly goal card that you put the number of pages to do in each subject each day for that week. You have a yearly goal card where you put a star under the month where you passed the test for a booklet and each quarter you must know how many stars you need for each subject to accomplish the goal you set for the year. It goes on, but I learned to set goals and track progress, I learned how to teach myself whatever I need to know, and I learned the value of not cheating because your not cheating anyone but yourself and you literally cannot move forward until you understand that. The only issue I have with that curriculum is the overwhelming religious agenda. If you could find a curriculum that used the same educational process, minus religion, you would have a curriculum that would teach your children how set goals and achieve them by teaching themselves. The curriculum is Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.).
Servitude Singlemindedness - Ikigai - Is Key Determinant of rate of aging - it is genetic. Selfish stupid doomed to suffer and make up 96% of human race!
Ok good stuff but I was totally distracted by the fact that you mentioned Crowded House :D As a New Zealander it makes me proud to see them mentioned across the seas!
Hey Em - Crowded House are one of my all-time favourite bands! Appreciate the comment
One of my favorite bands ever. Lived in Remuera/Newmarket and they lived in Ponsonby. Could see them washing the car , Neil and son Liam , through the fence!! An American missing NZ.
I’m the US and I loved Crowded House and the Finns! Also when Split Enz came out I was so sure they were going to be the new Beatles. Sigh. So many great songs!
We always need relationship with joy and love and life - great stories of how small things can be very important and I did love the “ having microconversations” in the Real World - to meet and relate in Real life - no doubt that we need the nonverbal - the total feel of aliveness and connection - its a sharing of being in the “sea of love and life”
we also program our Pets to need our care and feeding, it called Domestication
Great information and conversation from you both. I also wish it could have been another hour at least!
Excellent, very helpful
Dr Chatterjee: FYI - my Bronx born Mom is in a Small New Jersey nursing home where someone innocently with no malice walked into her room and infected her with COVID19.... mom has many pre-existing conditions some conditions had brought her to death store an embolism in her leg, so many neurological problems they labeled her Parkinson's now what they're doing is they're doing a much broader inclusive range of what Parkinson's is.... Before she lost the ability to completely walk she did stutter steps her hands do stutter movements and then freeze.... She was bleeding from a cancerous tumor in her intestines... That was when she was in assisted living in Connecticut near must killed her with their neglect and lack of care she had to get a full blood transfusion, New Jersey the nursing home looked into the bleeding she had cancer surgery -- she's now out of quarantine she's one of the teeny teeny group that has survived so far I sent her Mother's Day flowers a week early and they're still with her in her new temporary room. Some staff had quit on the spot to protect their love ones at home so the nursing home is shortstaffed.
I continue to suffer horrific PTSD insomnia because the doctor where I was violated continues to lie along with his powerful enabler's protecting even more wrongdoing as we head towards it eight years more crimes were committed to years ago during legal proceedings perjury by him and his employee employee did a running punched my head. In New York they are Teflon for instance he had no guidelines for the office he didn't interview her for the job he didn't check her references he did not investigate what happened to me he lied under oath it didn't happen on his property they both lied but when they occasionally told the truth it was damning.
I had to get surgery in my left eye to repair the retina... I was holding bags many of them my left arm was numb from having a cyst removed and had a protest sign that we need a trauma level one hospital in the West Village to replace St. Vincent's Hospital which also had a rape crisis center not Rudin luxury condos. The amount of powerfully connected people that push through those condos along with political players and so many others I wonder if they even for moment have a second of guilt as we are suffering a horrific pandemic and we need trauma level in hospitals more than ever and we always need trauma level one with rape crisis center in a big city like New York we are victims are often turned away by the NYPD and the Manhattan DA who protected all crimes in my case and years before I contacted them about Jeffrey Epstein... I was sexually assaulted at the doctors by the woman who attacked me using her barefoot after I said don't touch my body so I'm stuck in a trauma loop and I know some people don't like it that I'm repetitive but that's part of a trauma loop and ask anybody who's a victim of trauma and violence that doesn't have justice or an expert on trauma if it's a choice because it's not a choice to be stuck in a trauma loop I should've been safe at a doctors I went to a doctors office for peace of mind....
and I continue to be harmed because in New York it's open season to violate the Hippocratic oath to violate patient rights and for ab NYPD yo break laws and violate our civil rights!
I emailed so many politicians you've got to take action you've got to do something also we need more protections for medical patients that they have to be safe at a doctors office or hospital...
now a woman from my neighborhood elderly IS DEAD was punched by a woman At the hospital where she should've been safe but unlike the woman who punched me this woman had a criminal record and she had an over the top response to anxiety about social distancing she was arrested zero arrest in my case and they conspired as a group they meaning the doctors office certain people and that doctors office along with the NYPD Internal Affairs to a race all crimes in the Manhattan DA protected that just like they protect a Jeffrey Epstein/Maxwell and to lower his sex offender status so he could just continue on in New York business as usual.at hospital hospital where she should've been safe but unlike the woman who punched me this woman had a criminal record and she had an over-the-top response to anxiety about social distancing she was arrested 0arrests and mycase and they conspired as a group they meaning the doctors office certain people in the doctors office along with the NYPD Internal Affairs to ersse all crimes in the Manhattan DA Protected that just like they protect Jeffrey Epstein trying to lower his sex offender status so he could just continue on in New York business as usual ....
They were allegations that Epstein had doctors supply drugs for his victims to deal with anxiety....

Excellent. Thanks. And oh goodness CROWDED HOUSE. The best 💚🌱☮️🙏🏻
Great interview. Thank you.
Dr Rangan please allow subtitles in Portuguese
EFT is more effective than CBT..been pro en but many practitioners ate hesitant to use this.. guess they don't read the literature
Dear Rangan,LET PEOPLE TALK🙏
Yeah, it gets annoying after a point!
I knew that the gut produces the majority of the serotonin in the body, but I thought it doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier. Meaning that all the serotonin used by the brain is produces there.
I make up for everyone who doesn’t like chocolate 😅😅😅❤️
Very inspiring! 🙏
Tha thank you
Dr Doug lilse says you can't change you're personality..he says you're personality is fixed.
Dr. Chatterjee has really good guests. My challenge in listening to these podcasts is that he spends way more time talking, rather than, letting his guest talk. Instead of putting through his own thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc. It would be more helpful to narrow it down to a question to get to the guest's thoughts, ideas, research, etc. at a greater and deeper level. Another thing he does is paraphrasing his guests ideas by applying an example from his own life or practice. This is unnecessary (at least with this guest who is really clear on his communication) and takes the focus off the guest and wastes time.
Hey Suzanne, appreciate your comments. I can see that my style does not really appeal to you. Many others really like this conversational style. I have thought about this long and hard before and am very clear that my podcast is not an 'interview' - it is an organic conversation between two people sharing ideas. I hope you still manage to enjoy the conversations but, if not, these guests often appear on different podcasts so, perhaps, one of those might suit you better? Thanks Rangan
So, I guess running through boulder fields at 13,000' is more than just fun.
Allopathic Medical Doctors are only interested in promoting Big-Pharmaceutical remedies, they don't even know or consider Homeopathic medications, how can that be? I truly admire Joni Mitchell's music but she is a chain smoker, all four of my aunts smoked, they all died of lung cancer. Excellent show.
What ! Some people don't like chocolate !? What !? Please.
What is the secret?
Doesn't the research, the data, and the evidence show that the vegan diet provides the best overall protection against all cause mortality?
My grandma was never an overachiever and at 62 she looked much much younger and more healthy than this doctor.
Exactly!
Testosterone is very aging
I'm 119 and I look 112.
💚
Just listen to the summary - the last 10-minutes - too long, not much insight
He died of a heart attack while jogging at 52 years of age ! ok maybe he ignited his genetic heart predisposition! i wouldn't so i prefer a long active walk
Who? Dr is alive and kicking
Rare cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy die from exertion ! You cant pull trigger on a genetic heart predisposition except hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Who did?
I'm afraid you lost me when he said he appeared to recommend taking drugs. Looking for natural recommendations. Each to their own.
Thanks Julie - appreciate your comments. For context, that is the only thing I think he said about medications in the whole 90 minute conversations. Most of his recommendations are lifestyle related. Hope you managed to get some value from the conversation, nonetheless.
@Julie T I hope you reconsider. Viewed objectively, there's nothing wrong with drugs per se. Natural remedies with healing properties are also "drugs" and some have contraindications. Drugs, whether natural or synthetic, are useful tools and can be used to do the job of assisting the body in healing. The overuse or reliance on drugs instead of making beneficial lifestyle choices which create optimal health is what becomes problematic.
Drugs often are natural
I never wrote the entry below - never listened to the presentation - this is bollocks and self promotion. It is very sad that Chatterjee's fine work is now being infected with this tosh!
M
Finite thinking and reasoning. Low i.q."s. Sad.
It should be except her not except she.
For some reason this guy seems like a joker range how did you keep a straight face he looks like a joker mixed with deniro should be an actor well done
Wonderful life enhancing conversation. My privilege to be that fly on the wall and able to listen. At 70 I said I was in my "bonus years" but now at 79 I've found the prospect of 80 a little daunting so what luck to tune in to this!!!
Gratitude and heartfelt thanks abound! Also Dr Chattergee, after, I realised that from your excellent "Doctor in the House" series, you were responsible for my amazingly easy weight adjustment from obese to normal!!!
More thank yous and gratitude and very big smiles.
PS I've had ME/CFS for most of my life and always welcome any positive helpful ideas. So far my own form of slow yoga, breath and voice work have helped, of course with all the lifestyle possibilities of de stressing, diet, and so on. I've not found any Doctors who are interested as obviously there's no quick fix pill but there is something that happens with exercise that knocks me out. Oh, well, my curiosity will keep me going but it is very lonely. Or unhelpfully alone. Walking will be my next goal.
