Be More Mature Without Getting Old - MTP302
Co-Host Julian Hayes II (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/julian) Remember that old John Cougar Mellencamp song that says, 'Oh yeah, life goes on...long after the thrill of living is gone'? Yeah well, I never liked that song. Now on the other hand, the saying, 'Old truckers never die, they just get a new Peterbilt'? That I like. Hence this episode with my new friend Julian Hayes II from The Art Of Fitness And Life. Julian is an erstwhile medical student who is now on a mission to declare the ART of a long, healthy, fulfilling life rather than simply the science behind it. In this episode, we focus on how to be active and enthusiastic well into maturity instead of being that cranky 'get off my lawn' guy. Listen in as he reveals how the root causes of most health issues--and even most dating and relationship issues--are LIFE issues. How is aging better tied to not just the left-brained aspects of health, but possibly the right-brained ones as well? What is 'healthy narcissism', is it really a thing, and can it actually make you live longer? Does the 'deferred life plan' really pay off? How did we all get talked into believing the stereotypes about older folks? How is it we tend to lose enthusiasm for life, living in 'greyscale' instead of full color...perhaps even literally? What is the relationship between community--either real or imagined--and avoiding premature aging? And what about meaning and purpose? Is lack thereof why so many people get sick and die so shortly after 'retirement'? Finally, Julian talks about a certain self-destructive tendency that comes with getting older, but perhaps ironically only tends to accelerate the process. So while it may be a myth that 'old guys rule', aging healthfully and gracefully doesn't have to be. Discover this month's Masterclass topic and more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com
