Episode# 98: Marcus Riley & Stuart Kaplan on Why Aging Is the Advantage You're Not Using
Retirement was designed in 1935 for people who lived to sixty-three years old. So why are we still using that metric as life's finish line? In this episode, Dr. Cindy sits down with Marcus Riley and Stuart Kaplan—co-authors of Your Aging Advantage—to reframe aging as a series of self-determined stages, not a countdown. They explore The Flicker Phase, Aging on Pace, and why it's never too early—or too late—to plan.
In this episode, we cover:
(5:00) Let’s change our outlook from anti-aging to better aging.
(8:00) Talking more about the Global Aging Network.
(11:00) Does aging scare us because we know death is near?
(14:00) “I’m older” doesn’t mean that you are stuck.
(19:00) We retire from a job, we don’t retire from life.
(25:00) The best place to live, according to Marcus.
(28:00) Why being cared for at home is the holy grail of true health care.

(7:00) The absence of symptoms doesn’t mean you’re in great health.
(9:00) Taking your health into your own hands and getting the data.

About Jessica Van Antoine
Most female founders optimize every system in their business. But almost none optimize the one system absorbing all the pressure: their biology.
Jessica Van Antoine helps high-performing female founders and entrepreneurs optimize their health so they can lead, deliver, and scale at their full potential.
Because if your body is only operating at 60–70%, your business is too. That means slower decisions, diluted client work, and lost revenue you may not even realize you’re missing.
As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, she combines strategic lab testing with personalized coaching to uncover the hidden stressors quietly capping your income and impact. No more one-size-fits-all protocols or guesswork supplements. Just real data, applied to a plan that aligns your biology with your business goals.
She’s been guiding people toward better health since 2009–through massage therapy, yoga, retreats, and now high-level health strategy–and has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as a “leader in the health and wellness industry.” What’s stayed the same? Her belief that your body isn’t the bottleneck. It’s the opportunity.
If you're ready to stop settling for feeling “fine” and start performing at 100%, connect with her!
