Love Goes Viral - Maureen Feldman

Maureen Feldman runs the Motion Picture &amp; Television Fund’s (MPTF) Social Isolation Impact Project. The program brings together volunteers and entertainment veterans who are in need of some company. It may come as a surprise, but even in Hollywood, loneliness is at chronic levels amongst older adults. The project is working to unite isolated senior citizens with younger, like-minded professionals through its Daily Call Sheet. The service helps older film industry members make new friends. In this LLAMA podcast interview with Peter Bowes, Maureen explains why most of us are ignoring a vital pillar of healthy aging; how we should focus on social connections early in life, to avoid loneliness in old age; and what the MPTF is doing to make sure the oldest members of society are never without friends. This is the third in a series of interviews recorded at the USC Body Computing Conference.  Find out more about the event here and the USC Center for Body Computing here.In this interview discover:Why people in high pressure, demanding jobs, such as in the entertainment industry, often find themselves lonely and isolated in old age. Why looking after ourselves physically, sleeping enough and preparing financially for our retirement, is not enough. ”People are not necessarily prepared for aging when it comes to social connections.”How older people can suddenly feel isolated in the home they have lived in for decades. How growing to a great age and outliving our friends is a recipe for acute loneliness. "I have reached out and I look at everyone I meet as an opportunity for a social connection...it’s it's not that hard you just have to be present and available.”Why intergenerational programs are so valuable to reduce social isolation.It is never too late to make new friends. How the MPTF’s Daily Call Sheet is helping the aging Hollywood community find new meaning in their lives. How volunteers are teaching older adults to use mobile technology to help them integrate with the outside world. "This is a very high touch, low cost way to reach a lot of people and add some joy and create some quality at the end of someone's time.”The Live Long and Master Aging (LLAMA) podcast hacks the aging process. Peter Bowes interviews world-renowned scientists, future thinkers and biohackers, all of whom have a common goal of figuring out how we can live longer and healthier. We also talk to inspiring individuals who have already mastered the aging process. The LLAMA philosophy is that there is much can do to extend our natural health span or the length of time when we enjoy optimal health. We talk a lot about food, fasting, fitness, the brain and good fortune.If you enjoyed this episode please rate and review us here.  As ever, thank you for listening. DoNotAgeDoNotAge.org is offering listeners to LLAMA a 10% discount on its range of products – NAD boosters, Sirtuin activators, senolytics and more.  Any health queries can be answered by emailing the team at hello@donotage.orgUse the code LLAMA at checkout. -Support the showThe Live Long and Master Aging (LLAMA) podcast, a HealthSpan Media LLC production, shares ideas but does not offer medical advice.

Maureen Feldman - making new friends as we get older

The impact of loneliness and social isolation is an often-forgotten issue, and yet it is one that impacts our society more than most people understand.  When you consider that social isolation as you age can negatively impact your physical health in the same way that smoking a pack of cigarettes can, you begin to understand why.  Maureen Feldman runs the Social Isolation and Loneliness Collaborative at Motion Picture &amp; Television Fund, an effort also backed by AARP and some of the leading aging organizations in Los Angeles.  She and I sit down to discuss this looming crisis and what they’re doing to fight it.
