That means we think we should no longer be doing some things at a certain age. But peak performance isn't about that. Instead, it is all about unlocking new capabilities as you age. Do you find yourself stuck with ageism? Then it’s time to realize that you can do so much more with your life. Despite the common saying, you can actually teach an old dog new tricks. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Discover how ageism is killing us yet it’s still a widely accepted belief.
2. Understand how our body functions and what really happens as we get older.
3. Learn how to achieve peak performance aging.
