Go ahead and there you go. Okay, all gone. Welcome everyone. Today. You've gotten me, allison, here, and I have a guest that I'm very excited about. Her name is Marla Leticia, also known as nanny bubby, which we'll we'll talk about that nickname more here in a second, and we're going to be talking about something that I feel like we haven't talked about enough on this podcast yet, and that is how to live your best life and get healthy at any age, and we're specifically going to talk about a term that Marla calls your, your long life era. One of the things that we preach here at culture coaching is we like to say you're never too old and it's never too late, and we like to refer to that when we're talking about Getting in shape, meeting your health and fitness goals, and I think Marla's going to have a really good perspective on this phrase and have lots to share. So, marla, do you want to introduce yourself? Tell everyone a little bit about your background.

Speaker 2: 1:39

Well, I would. Of course I need two hours to go through the very long life and career that I've had, but I am a broadcaster from the time I went off to college and came back into my community, which is Las Vegas, nevada, and started in the broadcast business. I am a mom of two children in their 40s. I am a grandmother of two children, two grandchildren a five-year-old and a um geez, I'm sorry a four-year-old and a nine-year-old at this point when this airs, and I have started A cooking journey which I was a terrible cook. When my kids were growing up they would cry, they would be miserable and for some reason, no matter how hard I tried to cook, it just never came out. But when my first grandchild was born, somehow that inspiration really enveloped me and I have been on a cooking journey for almost the last 10 years, and that's where the name nanny bubby came from it's what my granddaughter calls me and it's been all about food and celebration and bringing families together around the dining room table.

Speaker 1: 2:51

That's awesome. Okay, and then do you want to talk now about, um, the long life era and the long life community, or do you want to get into that here in a little bit?

Speaker 2: 3:01

um.

Speaker 1: 3:02

Whatever you feel would be the right way to go. Let's touch on that first. So you, you are nanny bubby and you've got your cooking show, but you've also kind of transitioned into creating this long life era community. Can you talk a little bit about what that is and and how? What was your inspiration for creating this community?

Speaker 2: 3:20

Yes, so the long life era is a reframing of the term senior citizen and I am 70 and about three months, which was a year ago. I turned 70 in january, but a year ago, right around this time of year, in october, I went to my 51st class reunion and I walked out onto this patio on a beautiful night and saw 150 people that were absolutely vibrant, full of vitality, energetic, ready to take on the night, who were far less insecure than when I last saw them, when they were 18 years old. Everybody had lived a life, was embracing the life that they had lived, even some of the bad things that have happened. Some had lost children, some had already lost spouses you know they'd lost their parents many of them but were still embracing the life that they had left and they were in great shape, most everybody and very healthy. Well, I came home, very inspired by what I had experienced, and sat down to unwind From the night and turned on the tv and because it was october, it was the middle of open enrollment for medicare and I saw a commercial.

Speaker 2: 4:43

I don't remember what tv show I was watching, but I do remember the commercial. And all of a sudden, a commercial came on which showed senior citizens quote unquote that looked nothing like the people I had just left on that patio and in fact, they looked like my grandparents idea of what I remember Older people looking like nothing like this generation today. And worse than that, the dialogue, the script that these actors had been given in those commercials Made them sound and this is the part that just really infuriates me and you can see them even now. It made them look like they had lost 25 points of their IQ in the last 20 years, because now they were 65 and over. And it just all of a sudden it hit me I'm getting ready to turn 70. Maybe I'm really not relevant. Maybe I have no business having vitality. Maybe I have no business wanting to continue to evolve and create new things.

Speaker 2: 5:51

In my life, I had been Chairman of the board of a big organization. I was still very involved. I was chairing a committee and suddenly I became afraid to speak up in a committee and I was afraid from having to see images that were coming back At me about myself from the media and I just thought, gee, I fell into a depression and I just felt like I would get better at it, but it never got better. And finally I leaned into it and thought there's gotta be a better way to frame senior citizen for the generation, and especially for the baby boomer generation that is now 59 years old at the youngest point and 77 at the oldest point. And with that I framed, reframed, the era of our life that others know as senior citizens, as the long life era.

Speaker 1: 6:49

That's awesome, yeah, and I love that, and I think that changing your perspective on that can apply not just to health and fitness, but to anything. You can start and do anything at that age definitely.

Speaker 2: 7:02

Yes.

Speaker 1: 7:03

So let's talk about one thing we're very big on here at Couture Coaching is mindset. We do a lot of mindset coaching. We talk a lot about mindset. What is your definition of mindset?

Speaker 2: 7:15

So the definition of mindset as I speak, it is a belief and mental attitude that determines how you interpret and respond to your own life situation. So, just to say it again, because people are listening and it's not in front of them, but it is a belief and mental attitude, attitude that determines how you interpret and respond to your own life situations.

Speaker 1: 7:48

Yeah, I think that's a great definition.

Speaker 2: 7:51

There's so many different ways you can define it, but that's great and here's a good example of it Allison, just to help people like anchor into the idea of mindset is that? Do you know who Roger Bannister is? Do you know that name?

Speaker 1: 8:06

I probably should, but no.

Speaker 2: 8:09

So Roger Bannister was the very first man in recorded history who ran a sub four minute mile. So it was a belief and it was part of conventional thinking that the human body could not run a mile in less than four minutes. But Roger Bannister believed that he could and put in the work in order to do it. And on May 6th 1954, roger Bannister ran the mile in just seven seconds, less than four minutes, and he became the first man in history to do it. What happened was there was a mindset that said the human body was unable to run in less than four minutes. He challenged that mindset. He did run it in less than four minutes.

Speaker 2: 9:07

And guess what happened? Just six weeks later, the second man in history ran it. Two months later, the third man in history ran it and to date now 1,755 men have run that mile, that sub four minute mile. Further, women are now within seven seconds because they say women can't do it just because the bodies are different, and there's much truth to that. But they are only seven seconds away now from getting to that point. So you see, when you challenge conventional thinking with a mindset, you can change everything about how you live.

Speaker 1: 9:53

Yeah, absolutely. That's a perfect example too. Okay, let's switch gears just a little bit and pivot to health. What are the three areas of health that you tell everyone? These are the areas we need to pay attention to.

Speaker 2: 10:06

So when it comes to and these are the three areas that you need to pay attention to in your health for longevity sake, so there's three main pillars of that, and one is your physical health, which obviously you need a doctor for. You watch all of your measurements and your baselines for those measurements your LDL, your HDL, your APOB, your APOA you know, we all know these things your triglycerides. This is your physical health, and then the second area is your cognitive health. You also need a doctor for that, and, of course, you know there are monikers that are set for your cognitive health.

Speaker 2: 10:51

The third area, which is the most complicated, is your emotional health, and oftentimes you need a clinical psychologist for that, and those taking things like fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, depression, regret, hopelessness, but also your anticipation, your joy, your happiness those are all a part of your emotional health. But where I come in on this is that mindset, which is the smallest piece. Actually, when you look at all the things that can are contained within emotional health, mindset looks like it's the smallest, yet it has the largest impact on how you live your life, as we've just discussed, and so this is the area of your life, of our life, that I feel I am best qualified to speak to, for no other reason than that I have lived a long life, I have wisdom and I have experience that I wanna share to help people live a good health span as well as a good lifespan. A long lifespan to a hundred years or more. We're working on the mindset to live a hundred years or more.

Speaker 1: 12:05

And I like the term health span. I assume by that you mean the years that you're actually healthy and thriving, not just alive, right, just laying on the floor not able to do anything. Yeah, I like that, right because lifespan is binary.

Speaker 2: 12:19

You are born, you die. That's your lifespan, right, but your health span? You could live 70 years, but only 50 of them are healthy and good and really worth living, and so the goal is to increase your health span throughout your entire lifespan and then, when it's over, it's over, but there's not a lot of suffering that goes through all of that.

Speaker 1: 12:46

Okay, so I've got another question for you and it definitely ties into mindset. Okay, what is the first question that all life agents ask, and why do they ask it?

Speaker 2: 12:57

So you know, this is such an epiphany and I just want to say to those that are listening is stay tuned, you know, put your little tuning fork in right now, because this piece will blow your mind.

Speaker 2: 13:15

So the very first question that a life insurance agent asks. So when I'm in front of an audience, I ask this question what do you think that question is? Some of it will say, some of them will say how's your health? The others will say how much insurance do you want? And, yes, all of these questions do come up. But the very first question that they ask is just kind of a throwaway that you don't actually really even remember. But that answer is so you know, mr and Mrs, about how long do you think you are going to live? And they ask it in such a way as they're you're not even sitting down yet, you're just beginning to sit down, and it's more like an icebreaker. It makes people laugh this, that and the other, but there is no question that an insurance agent asks or any salesman asks, that is a throwaway. So the point of this question is that 85% of all people who come up with a number, that number becomes true If they say 85,. 85% of all, people die at 85. And I wanna say this to you you wanna live. That's the question. Yes, and I wanna say this to your audience, because this is key, and also to you, allison. When I asked that question, you heard a number come up in your own head, and the question is what was that number and why is that your number, and do you really want that to be your number?

Speaker 2: 14:59

Now, oftentimes people watch somebody they knew or loved get ill at like 87 years old and then they suffered for the next five years, and so you yourself say, oh, I don't wanna live that long because I never want to suffer. Or it was something that a parent or someone older than you spoke about when you were young which created your mindset about how long you wanted to live. But I will tell you two stories that I think are very, very interesting about this is that I have a girlfriend whose father always said that he just did not wanna live until he was 91. He just didn't wanna do it, it was just too much. He was now in his 90s and even his late 80s. I don't wanna live to 91. And do you know what happened? Six days before his 91st birthday, he died.

Speaker 2: 16:02

And the other story which I think is so interesting is that I have a friend whose father. He was very close with his father and he loved him very, very, very much. And when he was about six years old a family member passed away at six. It was his first knowingness that people didn't live forever. So he would say to his father they were Cuban and so he called him Poppy. And he said Poppy, I never wanna lose you, I don't want you to die. And his dad would turn to him and say don't worry, I'm gonna live till I'm 83.

Speaker 2: 16:40

And throughout his life he would say Poppy, I don't wanna lose you. And his dad would turn to him and say don't worry, I'm gonna live till I'm 83. So many times throughout his life. And one morning, when he was 83 years old, he got up and walked to the kitchen for his cup of coffee and what do you think happened? He dropped dead at 83. And the point here is that my friend says to me with tears in his eyes what if he would have said don't worry, I'm gonna live till I'm 103? He would still be here right now. So I'm asking your audience to think about what number they just heard themselves say, and look in that mirror and ask yourself is this your number? Or is this a number that got created just as part of your mindset, without you realizing it? Because life can be lived healthy and well until after the age of a hundred or more.

Speaker 1: 17:43

Yeah, and I'm gonna chime in here and I'm gonna say, those of us who have kind of embraced, I think, this what we believe to be as a healthy lifestyle we're active, we're eating enough protein, we're eating fruits and vegetables, we're doing some sort of resistance training I'm gonna go out on the limb and say, probably a lot of us do believe our number is pretty high because we know we're doing all that we can, at least on the physical aspect of this. Yes, in order to have a long help span. Yes, have you thought about your?

Speaker 2: 18:17

number. Yes, it's a funny thing, and I think that's why the age of 70 was so difficult for me. Is that maybe jokingly, maybe whimsically, I'm not really sure? But I've always said that I was gonna live to 120. That was always my number and I even would laugh when I said it, but there wasn't any other number that I ever felt connected to accept that number. So even when I was in my 60s, I still felt like I was in midlife. But when you turn 70, you are no longer in midlife If you're living to 120, 70 doubled as 140, right. So when I realized that I was no longer in midlife, I think that was also part of the depression that took on, because I felt like I had nothing left. I felt alone and I felt lonely and I felt half dead instead of still half alive. That's an interesting statement. I've never heard me say that before, but that just came out authentically in that moment.

Speaker 1: 19:23

And so, with this community that you are establishing and have established, you talk about this long life mindset. Can you elaborate a bit on that?

Speaker 2: 19:32

Yes. So the long life mindset is a statement that we make that goes like this I recognize that living a healthy long life to a hundred years and beyond is entirely possible. I embrace becoming a centenarian, that it is part art and part science. I believe that, from this point forward, I am the artist and scientist of my own long life destiny. So here is why we've created the long life mindset Number one. Our community is known as the long life era community and we frequently refer to it as LLE for long life era. Well, currently in America, let me ask you this question, allison Do you know how many centenarians, meaning people 100 years or more that there are in America at this moment? Do you know?

Speaker 2: 20:41

the answer to that.

Speaker 1: 20:42

I've heard some of your, I've heard some videos from you before, and I know it was much higher than I expected. Yes, but I do not remember the number. Well, I will. It's not higher than I expected.

Speaker 2: 20:55

Dramatically. I thought the number could be about 2,500 in the country, just because it seems like there's so few and the only ones you hear about are the ones that are actually running a mile or doing something outstanding, and so you hear about that, and it just in my own community. I only knew two or three, so I thought there were 2,500. There's 89, 89,000, almost 90,000 centenarians in America and there's almost 700,000 worldwide, counting the blue zones and everything else. So that's a lot of people. So I began to realize that I have become the self-proclaimed spokesperson for about 72 million baby boomers in America and I wanted to see if we, as baby boomers, could increase that number from 89,000 to about 120,000. That would make us the largest group of centenarians ever in history, in recorded history of the world. And so I launched the Long Life Mindset. It's longlifemindsetcom. You can embrace it by going there and just adding your name to the list.

Speaker 2: 22:15

But I realized, after 50 people signed up, that I had 119,500 people left to go and I was like, oh my God, what kind of a challenge did I just set myself up for? But you know what, if you take out the LLE in challenge for Long Life Era and you remove that, lle in challenge, you are left with the word change, and that is what I'm asking people to help me do is to change the mindset of the culture of aging in America, not only for those of us that are feeling the mindset that we can get and live healthy and happy to a hundred years or more, but so that we can help change the way all of us look at aging, because America is this anti-aging society and nobody wants to grow old. But does anybody wanna die young? No, and it feels like the only alternative is to look like a Kardashian, and you guys, for one, really advocate against that. So, if we are gonna have this great health span because we subscribe to Couture Fitness and everything that you are teaching, we need to feel good in our own skin, but, more importantly, we need to help teach the young people and the retailers how to interact and make our wisdom important to them. And so, by signing or by adding your name and embracing the Long Life mindset, you are giving air to this idea, and I can best represent everybody by saying these are the people who've embraced the mindset.

Speaker 2: 24:09

Nike, why are you not making tennis shoes for the largest economic power still on the planet?

Speaker 1: 24:17

I was gonna say, yeah, that's a large group of people and they've probably got the most money they do.

Speaker 2: 24:22

The baby boomers have the greatest power of any other generation on the planet. We have the largest economic power, the largest cash flow and net worth, we have the largest voting power and we still have the largest cultural power, because those British invasion groups are still being listened to by your generation and below.

Speaker 1: 24:50

So, along that topic, what are some things you can do to help raise awareness in America around aging? I know you're very passionate about this.

Speaker 2: 24:59

So right, let me talk about that. The first thing that everybody can do is to actually start talking about this culture of America and the anti-aging culture, and if you're a soon-to-be grandmother, or even if you're just a young mother and you're talking to your grandmother or your grandmother and or your mother and father, is to start asking them to share their wisdom, give honor, like they do in every other country of the world except America to those that have longevity. There's a lot to be learned there, and just by talking about our anti-aging culture and how this has impacted the way we just park our elders off to the side, that just having the discussion can help change it. The other thing that we can do is to just go out and live your best life. So, as an example, I know somebody that was a guitar player. He loves music, he writes music. He loved writing music when he was young. His family said to him you cannot be a musician, you cannot support a family playing a guitar. And so he went out and started in the casino business here in Las Vegas and became an executive, and now he is retired, but every day of his life, coming home from the casino business, he played guitar for two hours every single night to unwind from the business of him supporting a family. Finally, now he's retired and now he got a job playing guitar in the bar. There's a whole food sphere that has a bar and he plays guitar in that bar once a month and he is doing what he's always wanted to do. And so that is the second thing that we all in this age group can do is we can go out and do what it is we felt our soul has been calling for us to do, but we didn't listen to throughout the rest of our life.

Speaker 2: 27:12

The third thing is to join the Long Life Era community on Facebook. So just go to Facebook and join Long Life Era community and become a member. Last week we had a five day exercise challenge. This week we're doing a what's on your plate challenge and everybody's posting pictures about what's on your plate. Believe me, when you see the way these people exercise, it'll blow your mind. I've learned so much, and I go to the club every morning at 4.30 in the morning, so I couldn't believe I still had so much to learn in like core building, I was doing other aerobic and weight training yes, but core building not, and so we're an inspiration to each other, and next week we're actually going to be talking about financing. We're going to meaning that somebody had this mindset that said I don't want to live till I'm 100 or more because I might outlive my money, and so he wanted to die earlier. But that's, that's a mindset we need to talk about and help to change Right.

Speaker 2: 28:11

And the fourth thing is go to longlifemindsetcom and embrace the Long Life Mindset. You'll get a certificate emailed to you with your name on it and you can read that mindset. And I do want to tell this. One story is that we had somebody who embraced the Long Life Mindset and who, after doing it, realized that they had this. Couple in their 70s always had wanted to build a home in the Grand Tetons, but all of a sudden, as they approached 70, they realized that they never did it. Now it's too late because really, how much longer did they have? And after they signed the Long Life Mindset, they said you know we could have 30 years or more. Why don't we build the house? And so three days after they embrace the mindset, they've started the project. So you have no idea how your life can change just by a very simple Long Life Mindsetcom and embracing the mindset, and it puts wind beneath my wings to be your self-proclaimed spokesperson and get the country on board with changing the culture around aging in America.

Speaker 1: 29:27

Yeah, that's awesome. We had so many amazing tidbits. And you know this mindset thing I think a lot of people, you know maybe many of us, are just overworked and we're too busy but we think, oh, I just want to get to the point, we're all I need to do is lay on the beach all day and I think, sure that probably sounds, you know, that sounds great for maybe a couple weeks, but I think most of us are happiest when we are Working towards something. We are building something at least me, looking back at you know different things that I've done.

Speaker 1: 29:59

Some of the the more challenging things I've done have been the most Satisfying things, whether that's, you know, training for a bodybuilding competition, building this business. Initially, all of these things were very challenging but also so fun and I love that you have just I mean, this long-life community. You just created this within the last year. This is, you know, you can create something new and be working towards something that is challenging at at any age. Don't think that you know, just because I'm right here, 70 or whatever, that I can't embark on some sort of new Journey, whether that's health and fitness related, whether that's building a business, it can be anything.

Speaker 1: 30:40

I think most of us are happy as when we're actually working towards something.

Speaker 2: 30:44

You know what it is, allison, it's actually having a purpose, and you, first of all, you need to know your God-given purpose, and that Is the same, no matter what it is you're doing. I mean, my purpose I've always known in one word was to inspire others. And but I've done that in different ways throughout my life. You know, I wanted to inspire my children. I wanted, you know, some people have a Life's purpose of bringing laughter. Well, I can bet you that mother had kids, that she had them laughing all the time and then, like Roseanne Barr, went off after her kids were grown to become a comedian. Her purpose never changed. Just how she was Putting it out there did change.

Speaker 2: 31:28

And so if you have a purpose to bring joy to others, or to inspire others or bring health to others which I'm sure you've done with your own children and in different ways all of the time that, yes, going and living, you know, being retired and going and sitting on the beach, the. We were not meant to come into this world Without purpose and without being productive and without giving of ourselves so we could bring that joy To the rest of the population. So, no matter what, it is you the most unhappy is people, are the people that get retired and think that they were going to sit around and relax and do nothing all the time? It doesn't work like that, and so, yes, maybe for the first two months do that, but then get on with a purpose and give back and get productive.

Speaker 1: 32:23

Yes, I've always heard I'm actually, as a side note, I'm into Personal finance and in some early retirement type things and everybody, everything I read, says you have to retire to something. You cannot just retire to nothing or you will be, you will be depressed, and I fully, fully believe that.

Speaker 2: 32:41

Yes, and even maybe before listen, I would guess to say and venture to say that before you and Joe started this business, that it what it came out of the fact that maybe you you didn't have something at the time, you didn't have a purpose that felt really good to you and real to you, where you could help people, where you could Bring this fire that burned in you to other people, and you felt empty and sad and it's just the worst feeling in the world, right Like you're smiling, so I can tell that maybe I hit a chord there. And then, as hard as it's been, look what you've done and look how it has fulfilled your life and brought Youthfulness and health to you. Even when it gets stressful, it's still a good thing.

Speaker 1: 33:35

Yeah, we we had, you know, we we were both were obviously very into health and fitness and we've competed in bodybuilding competitions and we liked helping people. But we didn't feel like without the business we could Reach as many people. Or, you know, without it being a business, a lot of times people would ask for our advice and then just kind of, you know, ignore it. So we're definitely able to reach a lot more people now for sure.

Speaker 2: 34:00

And how fulfilled are you when you see results?

Speaker 1: 34:04

Absolutely. Any time a client says, oh my gosh, you've changed my life, it's absolutely amazing.

Speaker 2: 34:09

Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 1: 34:11

Let's. Let's tie all of this back just briefly to how you can apply this to your health and fitness journey. Obviously, you know you probably know what I'm gonna say but no matter your age, it is never too late to start on some sort of health and fitness journey, and it doesn't need to feel daunting. That might mean different things depending on where you're currently at. It might mean you just start taking a walk every day. It might mean you start Trying to eat some protein in every single meal and some vegetables in all of your meals. If you weren't before you, maybe you start working with the personal trainer two days a week to Building or maintaining your muscle. It doesn't have to feel daunting and Definitely you shouldn't feel that you're ever it's ever too late, because it's never never too late to start any sort of journey, certainly not a health and fitness journey.

Speaker 2: 34:58

It is not and I want to tell you a story. I interviewed somebody live. I do live interviews within the Long Life Eric community on Facebook and I interviewed a yeah, I want to say a young man. I mean, he's 70, 71 right now, but a year ago he was 300 pounds. A year ago he was 300 pounds. His heart, his LDL, his HDL, his triglycerides.

Speaker 2: 35:22

I bet you he got a blood test back and everything was in the red right, every moniker of statement of his. What is the word that I'm looking for? Well, like on a blood test, every item, for lack of a better word on your blood test. Um, and he. He said to his doctor in tears Help me, I, I, I don't know how this happened to me. I feel useless, I feel helpless, I feel depressed and I can't live like this. And he is now 210 pounds. He's lost 90 pounds in the last year and he is exercising, he's moving, he's lost a shoe size, he's lost an ankle size, he lost a waist size and he's moving and he's happy and he's joyful in life and he's alive again. So listen, he was dying, he was dying, it was only a matter of time, and now he's alive and living and has fallen in love again and is living his best life. So you're right, it is never too late, never, never too late.

Speaker 1: 36:40

Speaker 2: 37:16

I do. I have a free gift for your listeners and that free gift is going to be up forever. So if you're listening to this podcast a year or two after we've actually recorded it and it's been posted, it will still be up there in perpetuity. This is a shopping list. So, as you mentioned at the top of this podcast, I'm also known as Nanny Bubby, so my Instagram and my Facebook page is nannibubby and I am a home cook.

Speaker 2: 37:43

I do a TV show on a segment on cooking. I cook live on Facebook every single day during COVID for 18 months, and this shopping list is in the flow of any grocery store. So I actually did it first off in the flow of Trader Joe's, which is kind of cute because there's a Trader Joe's in every city of the country and it categorizes everything. So when I shop for entertaining, for parties, it can take me up to 45 minutes to go to the grocery store and get everything because I'm going you know I go by the list and the list initially was just everything I thought of as I was accumulating the list. Well, it would take me, you know, into the dairy section, back out, to get apples back to the, you know, milk back to the eggs. Just all over the store took 45 minutes. So this shopping list you basically you put everything on the list in its category and when I was doing a party it took me 17 minutes to run through Trader Joe's and get everything I needed and get out the door, as opposed to 47 minutes. It was amazing.

Speaker 2: 38:54

So if you go to nannibubbycom slash cotour, yep in the show notes, you will be able to download that shopping list anytime you need it and use it. And it is my pleasure, my honor and my gratitude to Joe and Allison for having me on this podcast. And since you are talking about food and shopping and what to look for and how to keep yourself in good health, I thought a shopping list, this shopping list, would be perfect for this show.
