PhD in Life: Life Lessons from Joan
My life imploded in a period of six months. My 23 year marriage ended, my mother and sister died (I had already lost my father and brother), and my oldest son left for college. In a blink of an eye, I was no longer a wife, daughter, sister, or mother as I knew it. One day I had a full life, and the next it was gone. In a short period of time, I had to deal with just about every human emotion imaginable. And, it all occurred when I was middle age trying to figure out who I was and what I could accomplish. My self esteem was shattered and I didn’t recognize my reflection in the mirror. Getting through those experiences took every ounce of courage and strength I could muster, but I did it. I like to say that I earned my PhD in Life. My life a testament to the power of the human spirit and the ability to rebuild from the ashes. Here I share with you lessons that helped me grow stronger and create the life that I now enjoy. If I could move forward, you can too!

What if we could reprogram old cells to be young again? What if we could rewrite our DNA to guarantee a disease-free future? What if we could eliminate obesity? What if 90 were the new 40? Breakthroughs in aging science are happening every day and as a result, living to 100, 120, or even 130 will become increasingly common. According to Dr. Michael Roizen, this new reality will have far-reaching effects on work, family life, retirement, and more, making longevity the next social disruptor. Dr. Roizen talks about how current science and technology will revolutionize our ability to live longer, younger, and better. Dr. Roizen is the Emeritus chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic, a professor at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, and author of four #1 New York Times best-selling books.
