The Aging Well Podcast

Is dementia really just a disease of old age? In this eye-opening episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and co-host Corbin Bruton examine a major new study linking metabolic syndrome to a significantly increased risk of young-onset dementia—a condition that strikes before age 65. Drawing insights from nearly 2 million middle-aged adults over eight years, the findings are clear: your midlife health habits matter more than you think. We unpack the connection between insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and cognitive decline, explore the surprising risk factors—including in people who aren’t obese—and discuss practical steps you can take today to protect your brain health tomorrow. From nutrition and exercise to stress management and sleep, this episode delivers science-backed strategies for preventing early neurocognitive decline and investing in long-term wellness. Whether you're in your 40s or 50s—or love someone who is—this conversation is a must-listen for anyone serious about aging well.

Is living longer really the same as living well? In this thought-provoking episode—featured on both The Aging Well Podcast and …We Have a Spiritual Problem—Dr. Jeff Armstrong challenges the assumptions behind biohacking and modern longevity culture.From Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint to the often-overlooked teachings of Jesuit priest and evolutionary philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Jeff explores what’s missing in the pursuit of “eternal life”: meaning, connection, and spiritual depth. He critiques the biomechanical and techno-optimistic lens of aging and introduces a more holistic framework—SPIES (Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social wellness).If you're tired of quick fixes and quantified health, and you're ready to explore a vision of aging that’s integrated, embodied, and spiritually grounded, this episode offers a powerful alternative.
