In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with Simon Sakhai, founder and CEO of Jung+, to discuss aging and longevity. Simon explains how aging can lead to feelings of being stuck, both biologically and socio-culturally. They also explore societal pressures and how they can contribute to stuckness at key developmental stages and the importance of adopting a proactive approach to health to stay unstuck as you age. Simon also introduces strategies and lifestyle changes that listeners can make to leverage longevity science to feel their best and experience aging as an opportunity for growth—rather than a period of stuckness and decline.


Tune in to learn about:

• How aging makes you feel stuck
• Biological and sociocultural aspects of aging

Thoughts from the episode:

“It's about knowing that you have agency with your health and getting unstuck from the idea that you just have to age gracefully. That's what aging gracefully really is.”
