Although chronological aging is inevitable, physical aging does not have to occur in the way we’ve been taught to believe. Discover what scientifically verified research is revealing and learn the simple steps you can take—at any age—to ensure lifelong health, endless vitality, and mental clarity!

Join award-winning, Harvard-trained mind/body researcher Ronnie Newman and success, lifestyle and natural health expert Debra Poneman for this two-day virtual retreat as they share with us some of the ways you can slow, stop and even reverse the aging of the brain and the body, including how to:

• Stop mental decline and have a clear brain and sharp memory for life
• Apply exercise protocols that positively impact the effects of aging (and even lengthen our telomeres)
• Know which foods cause the worse inflammation in the brain and body leading to chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and weight gain, and which foods can prevent and reverse inflammation
• Understand what science says is now wrinkling our skin more than sun exposure
• Rejuvenate your sleep patterns to slow the aging process
• Understand why hydration is even more important than you thought 
• Reduce stress, release anxiety, and clear your brain and open your heart with the power of your breath, meditation, and other practices
• Get on the fast track to happiness.

Learn simple lifestyle changes that could determine whether you go down the “inevitable” path of degeneration of mind and body, including memory loss, physical weakness, thinning hair, compromised eyesight, and loss of overall vitality.

Learn practices such as meditation and breathwork to open your heart and strengthen your mind.

Learn how to begin living with a clear mind, excellent memory, effortless efficiency, restful sleep, boundless energy, good digestion, glowing skin, and a happy heart—with no pharmaceutical intervention and its inevitable side effects.

It is not inevitable that your memory diminishes, your ability to have deep rejuvenating sleep decline or your skin wrinkle. There are simple changes you can make at any age to ensure lifelong health, vitality and radiance—and Ronnie and Debra will be sharing them with you.

Being Ageless: Cultivating Lifelong Vitality, Clarity, and Radiant Health will give you simple steps you can take to have abundant health and happiness now and in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond.

Speaker Bios

Debra Poneman Debra Poneman is a true pioneer in the world of transformation.

For more than 40 years, through her Yes to Success seminars, she has shared the tools and techniques to live a life of ultimate success with hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

In the 1980’s, decades before the internet made worldwide communication instantaneous, Debra’s seminars were being taught around the world in countries including Norway, England, Ireland, Singapore, Canada, and South Africa, as well as dozens of U.S. cities.

Using the knowledge gained in her seminars, her graduates went on to become mega-successful entrepreneurs, NY Times bestselling authors, profound world-changers, millionaires, billionaires—and some of the most recognized names in the world of transformational leadership.

Many call Debra the mentor to the mentors. 

Debra has also been an in-house trainer beginning in the 1980’s, with companies like Mattel Toys, McDonnell Douglas, and the Xerox Management Group—at a time when it was practically unheard of for women to be corporate trainers.

Debra has appeared in print throughout the country and on TV networks including ABC, NBC, FOX and CNN and on shows from coast to coast including Good Morning New England, Chicago Today and Mid-Morning LA.

In 1988, at the height of her success, with her Yes to Success book in the hands of a top agent and in the midst of negotiations for her own national TV talk show, Debra, true to her own teaching of following your heart, walked away from her career and disappeared from the public eye for over 20 years when she decided to live her true passion and became a fulltime mom at home.

With her daughter now a successful doctor of chiropractic and her son an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, philanthropist, and sports agency owner, Debra is once again traveling the world sharing the universal secrets of how to live a life of true and lasting success as well as how to turn back the hands of time through her acclaimed Ageless seminars.
