  Episode 30 – The 100-Year Mouth: Why Oral Health Matters for Longevity

  Sep 29, 20261h 23m

  PrimeSpan Podcast — Episode 30 What does it take to keep your teeth healthy for the next 40 years of your life? In this episode of the PrimeSpan Podcast, Adam Dimacali, and Raffi Kalaydjian sit down with Dr. Shawn Matian, founder of Bio Dental in Encino, to discuss the connection between oral health, longevity, and whole-body wellness . In This Episode Oral Health and Longevity The conversation explores how oral health can provide clues about systemic health, including connections between gum disease, inflammation, diabetes, and cardiovascular health. Preventive Care and Daily Hygiene Learn why plaque can quickly develop into tartar and how consistent brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings support healthier teeth and gums. The Mouth as a Health Indicator Dr. Matian discusses how dentists may identify signs of broader health concerns through oral changes and routine health checks. Biomimetic Dentistry The episode explores preserving natural tooth structure through modern restorative approaches, including onlays, veneers, and treatments focused on maintaining tooth vitality. Dental Implants and Bone Health The discussion covers tooth loss, jawbone preservation, bone grafting, and the role of digital planning in modern implant dentistry. Technology in Dentistry Digital scanners, CAD/CAM systems, 3D imaging, and artificial intelligence are changing how dental problems are identified and treated. Oral Health as We Age Age alone does not determine dental health. Consistent hygiene and preventive care can help support oral health and quality of life later in life. Practical Takeaways Dr. Matian emphasizes taking ownership of daily dental care, including inspecting teeth and interdental spaces, maintaining good hygiene, and finding tools and techniques that work for you. The larger message is simple: oral health belongs in the longevity conversation. Taking care of your teeth and gums can be an important part of maintaining quality of life as you age.

  Episode 28 – Rethinking Retirement: Designing a Life of Purpose and Possibility

  Aug 27, 20261h 16m

  PrimeSpan Podcast — Episode 28  What if retirement wasn't the end of your working life, but the beginning of a completely new chapter? In this episode of the PrimeSpan Podcast, Adam Dimacali sits down with Anne van Leynseele for a conversation about rethinking retirement, finding purpose, and creating a meaningful life as we age. Anne shares insights from her unconventional career journey and introduces the idea of "preferment" —a different way of looking at the years after a traditional career. Together, they explore why retirement planning should involve more than finances and why purpose, connection, curiosity, and community can be just as important. The conversation also touches on career transitions, identity, mentorship, volunteering, and the importance of intentionally thinking about what you want your next chapter to look like. Because a longer life isn't just about having more years. It's about deciding how you want to live them. Key Takeaways Why we may need to rethink the traditional idea of retirement. How purpose can shape a fulfilling next chapter. Why your identity doesn't have to end with your career. The importance of community and meaningful connection as we age. How curiosity can open the door to new possibilities. Why it's never too early to start designing your future. Topics Explored Retirement and healthy aging Purpose and identity Career transitions Intentional life design Community and connection Mentorship and volunteering Healthy longevity Reflection Questions What would a meaningful next chapter look like for you?

  Aug 19, 20261h 17m

  What does it really take to protect brain health as we age? In this episode of the PrimeSpan Podcast, Adam Dimacali sits down with Joanne Luciano, Executive Director of the Alzheimer's Association California Southland chapter, for a conversation about brain health, prevention, caregiving, advocacy, and the growing importance of early action. Joanne shares her journey from the beauty industry into nonprofit leadership and explains why her experience building relationships, teams, and partnerships became so valuable in the fight against Alzheimer's and dementia. Together, they explore what families should know about early warning signs, why caregivers need support too, and how lifestyle factors such as physical activity, nutrition, and social connection can play an important role in brain health. The conversation also looks beyond individual habits.

Because protecting your brain isn't something you start thinking about when problems appear. It's something you can begin working on today. Key Takeaways Why early awareness can make a difference in brain health. How lifestyle choices can support cognitive health. Why caregivers need to prioritize their own well-being too. The importance of community, education, and social connection. Why diverse representation matters in Alzheimer's research. How advocacy can help create meaningful change.

  Episode 26 – The Alcohol Tax: Why You Feel Worse as You Age—and What Science Is Discovering

  Aug 3, 202659 min

  For many adults, enjoying a glass of wine or celebrating with friends comes with an unwanted trade-off: headaches, brain fog, poor sleep, and feeling less than your best the next day. But what if the conversation around alcohol wasn't simply about drinking less—or more—but about understanding what you're actually consuming? In this episode of the PrimeSpan Podcast, Adam Dimacali sits down with Paul Lagerstedt, founder of ALKAA, to explore the science behind alcohol's hidden compounds and why some people become increasingly sensitive to them as they age. Drawing from his background in engineering and years of personal research, Paul explains how curiosity led him to question common assumptions about alcohol, investigate the compounds that contribute to unpleasant reactions, and develop a new approach focused on reducing unwanted byproducts before the first sip. Rather than encouraging more drinking, this conversation emphasizes moderation, informed decision-making, and understanding how small choices can support healthier aging. Together, they discuss why prevention often begins before symptoms appear, how aging changes the body's response to alcohol, and why enjoying life's social moments doesn't have to come at the expense of how you feel the next day. Because living better longer isn't about eliminating every indulgence. It's about making informed choices that help you enjoy life while protecting your long-term health. Key Takeaways Why alcohol affects people differently as they age. The difference between treating symptoms and reducing exposure to unwanted compounds. How moderation supports long-term health. Why prevention is often more effective than recovery. The importance of questioning common assumptions through science. How curiosity and research can drive meaningful innovation. Why healthier aging includes making intentional lifestyle choices. How balance—not perfection—supports longevity. Topics Explored Healthy aging and alcohol sensitivity Alcohol science and fermentation byproducts Prevention versus symptom management Lifestyle choices and longevity Mindful alcohol consumption Innovation through scientific research Building healthier social habits Balance, moderation, and wellness Reflection Questions Have you noticed your relationship with alcohol changing as you've gotten older? What habits help you enjoy social occasions while still prioritizing your health? Where could a more preventative approach improve your overall well-being?
