This is the podcast for two types of people: those who embrace the aging process and are going through it enthusiastically; and those younger people who want to develop the proper mindset and habits that will enable them to age awesomely when that time arrives.
REJUVENAGING is the art and science of growing older with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is one of the most under-rated of emotions. It is the driver that
activates passion, proactivity, and a positive mindset.
The REJUVENAGING podcast focuses on developing the skills and behaviors that lead to enhanced physical and mental health throughout the lifespan. The podcast features guests from various walks of life with varying perspectives but with the common purpose of living enthusiastically and helping others to do so. Guests are interviewed by positive health psychologist and author, Dr. Ron Kaiser. One of his claims to fame is that he has failed miserably at being a typical old guy. At age 81, he works full-time and stays fit – physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. He shares his secrets and guidance in this regard – both in his interactions with his guests in personal training podcasts that take place once a month.

This is a special replay of an episode of the REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser podcast that was first posted on February 2023.
Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes it can seem like your to-do list is never-ending. Other times you’re dealing with sudden loss or grief. Whatever it is that life throws at you, it can be difficult to process and easy for bad habits to prevail. But what if there was a way to deal with life’s hardships, or even just evolve into a better version of yourself? Mindfulness is a mental state achieved through awareness. Those who practice it see improvements in things like concentration, self-control, objectivity, and emotional intelligence.
