EFR 592: How to Age Resiliently and Reverse the Negative Impacts of Ageism on Health and Longevity with Dr. Becca Levy

In our culture, aging is a fear of many. We're so avoidant of the inevitable, but if we actually embrace the inevitable aging process, we might actually age more resiliently. Research shows that ageism and negative beliefs about age can have a real impact on our health and longevity. This begs the question… Can shifting our beliefs around aging improve our health and increase our lifespan? Here to answer that question is Dr. Becca Levy, a researcher and faculty member at Yale School of Public Health and the author of Breaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long and Well You Live.  In this discussion, Becca and Chase break down the psychology around aging, the harmful effects ageism has on our society, and practical ways you can begin to fully accept your age and the aging process. You'll learn how to reduce ageism and age resiliently by reversing the negative beliefs and messages about age you encounter in your everyday life.     Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning   Episode resources: Save 15% on Strong Coffee Company with code CHASE at www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com  Save 20% on The Good face serum with code EVERFORWARD at www.CalderaLab.com/everforward  Get Becca's new book Breaking the Aging Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long and Well You Live
