SUMMARY:Adverse Effects of Ageism on Physical and Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nDate:\nThursday\, July 24\, 2025\nStart time: 6 AM Pacific | 9 AM Eastern\nEnd time: 7 AM Pacific | 10 AM Eastern \nAgeism and racism adversely affect health in multiple ways beyond socioeconomic factors. Internalizing ageist or racist beliefs impairs our immune system and reduces self-efficacy. In addition\, many health conditions attributed to aging—such as memory loss\, hearing decline and cardiovascular disease—are influenced more strongly by negative ageist stereotypes than by family history\, genetics or chronological age. Fortunately\, we can dismantle ageist and racist beliefs to profoundly benefit our mental and physical health. This presentation examines how beliefs\, expectations and stereotypes influence epigenetic mechanisms\, neural activity and immune function\, and how we can change our thinking to grow bolder rather than older. \nPresenter:\nDr. Helena Popovic\, MBBS\, is a medical doctor\, international speaker\, best-selling author\, and leading authority on improving brain function. A graduate of the University of Sydney\, she empowers people to take charge of their physical and mental health with the philosophy that decisions are more powerful than DNA and education is more powerful than medication. \nDrawing on more than 30 years of clinical and personal experience\, Dr. Popovic presents a groundbreaking approach to boosting brain performance\, managing weight\, and achieving lifelong vitality. \nRegister Now
