Love and Romance in Midlife and Beyond; and the My Time Column in the Washington Post
Does midlife signal the end of love and romance? According to D.C.-based psychologist and conference speaker, Dr. Dorree Lynn, the answer is an emphatic "no." Her client list includes political figures and major media personalities, she's made frequent appearances on ABC's Good Morning America, Court TV, MSNBC and Fox News Channel. Beginning in March, Dr. Lynn will become the featured expert on love and intimacy for AARP's new TV show, My Generation. The co-author of When the Man You Love Is Ill, Doing Your Best for Your Partner Without Losing Yourself (with Florence Isaacs), Dr. Lynn is also creator of the newly launched website and e-zine, fiftyandfurthermore.com.
Author, award-winning journalist and public speaker, Abigail Trafford "focuses on the new stage of the life cycle after midlife, but before traditional old age. Her book, My Time: Making the Most of the Bonus Decades After 50 chronicles the social revolution of living longer, healthier lives. In her Washington Post column, entitled My Time, she explores the potential in this new stage for both individuals and society. She has been a commentator on health and social issues for Washington Post Radio, host of an "online "health talk" program and syndicated columnist with Universal Press syndicate." (excerpt from her website, abigailtrafford.com) Trafford is also the author of Crazy Time: Surviving Divorce and Building a New Life.
Dr. Lynn and Abigail Trafford join me by phone to discuss trends in midlife and beyond.
Chocolate: A Healthy Snack? and Fast Food That's Good for You?
Chocolate--a healthy snack? And what about fast food that's good for you? What's truth and what's fiction? To find the answers, we'll put those and related questions to Dr. Liz Applegate, a nationally renowned expert on nutrition and fitness. She's also director of sports nutrition and a faculty member in the nutrition department at the University of California at Davis. In addition to her work at the university, Dr. Applegate also writes the popular "Fridge Wisdom" column for Runner's World magazine. She'll join me from her office in California to talk about the latest in nutrition advice for those midlife runners (both real and wannabe) among us.
