Episode 25: Unlocking Longevity: Anti-Aging Secrets for Your Brain and Body with Debra Poneman

No matter what age you are, how would you like to look and feel 10 or even 20 years younger? Today, we discuss the secrets of stopping and even reversing aging’s clock with my dear friend and co-creator in Miracles, Debra Poneman.

Debra is an international best-selling author, success speaker, and meditation teacher, and the co-founder of Yes To Success, Inc. For over 50 years, Debra has been transforming lives through seminars, spiritual teachings, and metaphysical revelations. Known by many as “the mentor of mentors,” Debra’s work in the 80s was so relevant and ground-breaking that her teachings were adopted in dozens of cities across the US and in over 14 countries.

Debra has been my soul sister for more than 40 years! We’ve been through thick and thin and I got my start in public speaking because of her. This woman will have you laughing out loud one minute and then gasping in awe at her wisdom in the next. I invite you to pull up a chair with your favorite beverage and sit down with us while we swap stories about brain research, Richard Branson and miracles.

In this episode, Debra shares insights and practical tips on how to slow down and even reverse the aging process by making simple adjustments to your sleeping and eating habits, mindset, and social connections. We also discuss how to avoid mental decline, how to reframe your thoughts on aging, what lifestyle choices can help you live in the miracle zone, and much more.

“When you’re talking about reversing aging, it also has to do with just feeling better in general. When you’re feeling better, that’s when you’re open to being in the flow. That’s where you’re open to being in the miracle zone.”

– Debra Poneman
