Jeff Rubin is the author of Wisdom of Age and the seminal video series Senior Moments. I speak with a true visionary and artist on what it means to be older, how we see ourselves and others, and why ageism is so "sticky." Can we ever escape from our age-essential attitudes? How do we transcend our self-age prejudices? Why do some elders continue to contribute to the community, and others as wealthy and healthy withdraw? Which one will you be as you age?

Doctor Erasmus is the author of Fats that Heal Fats that Kill. In my interview with him we cover what fats are, the difference between Omega 6 and Omega 3 and why low fat diets are not the path to weight loss or health.

Low fat diets have been marketed effectively to the public. But perhaps we should instead be thinking of right fat diets rather than low fat.
