Dr. Jim Beckwith has heard "Doc, I'm getting old" from the exam chair for 35 years. He is also the one doctor who can see your blood vessels without cutting you open. And he has a new book out Positively Not Old: Mindset and Longevity Habits for Aging well

In this episode: what your eyes show about your body before you feel anything, why most men wait too long to get things fixed, and the one move that turns the slide into a and upward spiral.

What you will learn

•     What actually happens to your eyes in your mid-forties, and why the readers moment is not the end of anything

•     How an eye exam reveals diabetes, high blood pressure, and in one case leukemia, before the patient knows

•     The one question to ask your eye doctor that turns a glasses visit into a health check

•     Why retirement feels like summer vacation with no new school year, and what to build instead

•     His own jungle emergency and the lesson he gives every man: get it fixed

•     How he trains at 64: recovery, core, balance, and a daily sauna
