The Aging Games

Why Sitting Is Wrecking Your Health (and Walking Could Save It) In this week’s episode of The Aging Games Podcast , I sit down with Philip Pape , host of Wits & Weights , for a deep and energizing conversation about how something as simple as movement can completely change how you age. We start with a truth most of us don’t want to hear: sitting is silently destroying our health . From metabolic slowdown to stiff joints, back pain, poor posture, and even reduced lifespan, prolonged sitting is one of the most overlooked causes of accelerated aging. Philip explains the science behind why our bodies were never designed to sit for hours each day — and how small, consistent movement can reverse much of the damage. Then we talk about the power of walking — not running, not extreme fitness — just walking. Philip breaks down how walking improves everything from blood sugar and cardiovascular health to immune function and mental clarity. It’s one of the most effective (and underrated) a...

How Subtle Energies Shape Our World: My Conversation with Nico Martens What if everything around us — the air we breathe, the water we drink, the light that hits our skin — carries information that shapes how we feel, think, and even age? In this week’s episode of The TAG Podcast , I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Nico Martens , a pioneer in the study of subtle energies and the inventor of the Cosmic Tower , a technology designed to harmonize and restore balance to our energetic environment. Our conversation began with ancient wisdom — the sacred geometry and energetic design of the pyramids in Egypt , the healing waters found at sacred sites across the world, and how ancient civilizations intuitively understood what modern science is only beginning to rediscover: that vibration attracts vibration , and the frequency we emit affects the reality we experience. Nico explained how the collective energy of humanity has been influenced to operate at a lower frequency , ...

Episode 100: The Truth About the Sun — Debunking 8 Myths with Quantum Biologist Carrie Bennett It’s hard to believe, but we’ve made it to Episode 100 of The TAG Podcast — and what better way to celebrate this milestone than with one of my favorite people in the world, Carrie Bennett, MS . Carrie isn’t just a brilliant teacher and researcher; she was also one of my instructors when I studied Quantum Biology through the Institute of Quantum Biology. Her ability to break down complex science into something clear, practical, and life-changing is second to none. In this special episode, we’re diving deep into the myths and misconceptions surrounding the sun — one of the most misunderstood aspects of human health. For decades, we’ve been told to fear the sun, cover up, and slather on sunscreen. But modern quantum biology tells a very different story. Together, we debunk 8 of the biggest myths about sunlight, including: ☀️ Why sunlight doesn’t actually cause disease — but protects a...

How to Raise a Healthy, Happy Dog That Lives to 20 — What Your Vet Won’t Tell You In this week’s Aging Games Podcast , I sat down with Dr. Thompson , a holistic veterinarian with decades of experience helping pets live longer, healthier lives — and what he shared completely reframes what we think we know about pet care. Most of us want to do what’s best for our dogs. We buy the “premium” kibble, schedule all the vet checkups, and trust the advice we’re given. But what if some of that conventional wisdom is actually making our pets sicker ? Dr. Thompson explains how modern pet food — even the so-called “healthy” brands — is often loaded with fillers, preservatives, and synthetic vitamins that dogs were never meant to eat. He compares it to feeding your child fast food every day and expecting them to thrive. Instead, he breaks down the science and simplicity behind raw feeding — giving your dog the kind of fresh, species-appropriate food their bodies are built for. From balancing ra...

The 30-Day Natural Menopause Reset: Your Most Common Questions, Answered Menopause isn’t just a medical milestone — it’s a deeply personal transition that can affect every part of your life. Some women breeze through it, while others feel like their bodies and minds are completely out of sync. In my latest podcast episode, I tackle the most common (and most personal) questions women ask me about menopause. If you’ve ever wondered whether your symptoms are normal, if you should consider hormone replacement therapy, or if there are natural ways to support your body through this stage, this episode is for you. Stress or Menopause? One of the first questions many women ask is: How do I know if what I’m feeling is menopause or just stress? It can be confusing, because symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and sleep issues can overlap. Understanding hormone changes is the first step in separating the two and getting real clarity. The Hot Flash Question Is it normal to have hot flashes t...
