Pickleball, Protein and the Thin-Fat Truth: Talking Longevity with Dr. Navin Gnanasekaran (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this conversation with Gen Seasoned, Dr. Navin Gnanasekaran walks us through why longevity thinking should start in our 30s (and what to do instead if one is already past it), busts the myth that starving yourself is the same as fasting smart, and explains why multivitamins are, in his words, expensive urine. In his book The 100-Year Blueprint: An Indian Doctor's Guide to Longevity, this physician and medical futurist makes the case that India doesn't need to borrow the West's rulebook on age

Rohini Rana, born into the royal family of Awagarh, Uttar Pradesh, was all of 20 when she married into Nepal’s distinguished Rana family in 1977. Looking up through her bridal veil, staring back at her was a wild boar's head, a red handkerchief tied around its neck. She froze, she says with a laugh, recalling the ancient Vedic wedding ritual called "Chaurasi Vyanjan". Having recently published her third cookbook Memories on a Platter: My Fusion Cookbook (Penguin Random House), Rohini goes down m
Ep 19: Re-purpose with BK Bhayana: A second career at 60 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do you actually do when four decades of "get up, go to work, come back" suddenly stops? In this episode of Gen Seasoned, Anuradha Varma talks to BK Bhayana — engineer, and now a first-time entrepreneur in his 60s (launching the Elevate cervical pillow) — for a wonderfully honest chat about what retirement really feels like. He talks about those early days of feeling like he had nowhere to go, why he never bought into the "just take up gardening" advice, and how he eventually found his footi
