My mom was the first woman ever hired as an engineer at Ford Motor Co. A refugee from the other side of the world, she is remarkable in every way — as an engineer and as a mom. It was the mid-1960s, and she wore a sari every day to the office. It was such an honor for me to share her story with @ford CEO @jimfarley98, an incredibly gracious and welcoming individual. 🎧https://lnk.to/drivewithjimfarleyGL!S2E1
The guy in this picture dreaded turning 50. But now that I am here, I can tell you it is the best decade so far. No doubt we live in a youth-obsessed society, so we spent this season of the podcast sifting through the myths and realities of what it means to get older. These amazing conversations have left me feeling better than ever and ready to embrace the journey. I hope you can too: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/20/health/aging-chasing-life-blue-zone-gupta
Hard to believe: tomorrow my 7th documentary on cannabis as a medicine airs. 10 years ago, it started with a sweet little girl named Charlotte Figi, and then I found so many more patients like her. For them: not only did cannabis work, but it was the only thing that did. Young, and old. Watch our newest doc “Weed 7: a senior moment” Sun at 8p

It’s the end of an era – the final show was broadcast from CNN Center in Atlanta today. We’re moving to a new home, but this building will always be where I started my journalism career more than 20 years ago and made countless memories.
This is only the second time all of the Surgeons General have gotten together – which gives you a sense of this gathering’s significance. I was honored to moderate this discussion of how to tackle one of the biggest public challenges of our time – mental health. The problem is complicated, and the solutions are not easy, but it all starts with reconnecting with our humanity. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/28/health/mental-health-crisis-undermine-our-democracy-us-surgeon-generals-say/index.html
The fastest growing group of medicinal cannabis users in the country might surprise you. They are people 65 and older. Blows my mind. But, they are increasingly choosing this plant over pills for the “nuisances of aging.” So, are they onto something? And, what are the risks?
Hard to believe, but this little guy is teaching everyone how to find their Everyday Dharma. My little brother also reminded me: Dharma is not a destination. It’s something that’s been with you since the day you were born. Michelangelo would look at a block of marble, and say the sculpture is already inside. He only had to chisel away at what wasn’t necessary. The same is true for your dharma. You don’t need to find it. You just have to remove the layers in the way. bit.ly/3Le56pH
10 years ago I was pretty skeptical about the true utility of cannabis as a medicine. Then I went on an investigative journey to speak to scientists around the world, visit labs and have long deep conversations with patients. Bottom line: it is not a panacea, nothing is. But I am convinced it can help people. It can heal people. And just because it doesnt help everyone… does not mean it shouldn’t be available to anyone. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/06/health/weed-cannabis-seniors-sanjay-gupta/index.html
Something I never realized: women are up to 8x more likely to tear their ACL. Perhaps no surprise then that 10 of the top women’s soccer players are out of the World Cup. What exactly happened and what can all of us do to protect our knees? @hollysilverspt took me through some drills.
This pig is among one of the most genetically modified mammals on the planet and could be the solution to our organ shortage. EGenesis gave us an exclusive look into its research facilities, where it is raising pigs that could one day supply humans with organs like kidneys, hearts and livers. It’s the culmination of hundreds of years of science and is closer to reality than ever. 👀 Link in bio for the full story
101 – Norman Lear. And what a life it was. When we helped him celebrate his 100th birthday at Life Itself last year, his enthusiasm for life was on full display. He could still elicit belly laughs from the entire crowd while reminding us the secret to a good life might not be that complicated.
After Stan Nicholas had a stroke, he couldn’t walk or move his left arm or hand. Physical therapy helped, but after a year, he was no longer improving. That’s when Stan volunteered to become one of the first people in the world to try deep brain stimulation to help regain more of his body’s function. The results were “the greatest feeling in the world,” Stan said.
I’ve never been a big napper, but Victoria Garfield changed my mind. We all know the importance of a good night’s rest, but napping could give you a crucially important brief midday reset. Here’s how it works. 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/nzwXR1vp
94-year-old Ken is part of the fastest growing group of cannabis users in the US. This week, I speak to a geriatric psychiatrist about what’s behind this trend and how cannabis could help when it comes to the “nuisances of aging.” 🎧https://link.chtbl.com/A3U6qus8
I’ve always been fascinated by blue zones – places around the world where people live the longest. Longevity researcher and modern day explorer @danbuettner has studied these locations and taught me a lot, including the one food we should all eat on a daily basis. 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/VQYJoNVO
Most people think their attention spans have shortened, and according Gloria Mark, they are probably right. 20 years ago, the average attention span was 2 1/2 minutes. Pretty short. Even more staggering is that now the average is 47 seconds. Our brains have become more distracted for lots of reasons – but turning your distracted brain into an attentive brain is a lot easier than you might realize. 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/2m3v0rY3
This time of year, more people than ever step on the scale. Sure, weight is important, but what does it really tell us about our health? It’s only part of the story, according to obesity medicine physician Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, and leads people to practice what she calls “street corner medicine.” We are kicking off this new season of Chasing Life by exploring the real connections between weight and health – and what we learned might surprise you. 🎧 at link in bio
Biohacking usually comes in one of three forms according to Dr. Nir Barzilai. The Dorian Gray – slow aging. Wolverine– reverse aging or Peter Pan, never age at all. But is biohacking real or is it BS? We went deep with this conversation. 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/1skO6d9J
