I was reflecting on what retirement means to me. Becoming a new entrepreneur at 70, launching my podcast Growing Older Living Younger 6 years later, and of course writing this book, kept me optimistic, happy and energized, and sustained me through the dark days of the pandemic.  Active retirement provides a path to aging that is rich in mental, physical, social and cultural growth.

Growing Older Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and the Art of Retiring Comfortably tells the very personal story of my journey from emergency spinal surgery to entrepreneurial, creative,dancing doc. During the time of rehabilitation and embracing holistic health and wellness, I created my 7 Pillar Road Map for aging youthfully which I share in my book.

You too can extend your healthspan, and change your aging trajectory at the cellular level, by lifestyle modifications. But understanding how to unlock your biological power of gene expression is the most efficacious way to age youthfully.

The reviews are in: here are two.

"I had the time to read your book yesterday.  It ‘s simply wonderful.  Such great information and so well organized.  I love that you included a Nerd Alert!  Very funny.  I’m going to place another order and have them shipped to a couple of my friends.'"

"A personal story can be a compelling way of conveying an idea and in her book Gillian Lockitch has used her own story to excellent effect. She is a retired Specialist Physician, has recovered from traumatic back surgery and has overcome crippling personal loss. This unique blend of scientific/medical insight, personal experience and intelligent induction is employed to offer a convincing explanation of ageing and to provide us with an eloquent, informative guide to growing old gracefully. Her roadmap to ageing covers areas of diet, nutrition, physical and mental activities, all neatly packaged, with some apt photos to prove a point."
