Can Your Biological Age Tell You How Old You Really Are?

How old are you really?  There is a growing interest in biological age vs. your chronological age.  The idea behind it is that your cells and organs age differently and knowing your biological age can help you postpone or avoid age related illnesses.  There is currently no standard way to measure it, but scientists and start-ups are developing ways through blood tests or saliva tests.  Betsy Morris, senior writer at the WSJ, joins us for what to know.

Next, there is a lot of frustration when kids are misbehaving or acting out.  So how do you discipline when it happens, especially if you might be in a public place.  Is a timeout in order or a time-in?  It also helps to explain why their actions are a problem, many times we assume kids know better, but sometimes they don’t.  Deborah Farmer Kris, education journalist and founder of Parenthood365, joins us for how to discipline in the heat of the moment.

Finally, for all you fans of intermittent fasting, a new study concludes that it might not be all it’s cracked up to be.  Time restricted eating goes like this… eat anything you want as long as it’s only between a 6–8-hour time period.  The new study let one group of participants eat a set number of calories between 8a-4p and the other group the same number of calories at whatever time they wanted.  What they found was there was no difference.  Gina Kolata, medical reporter at the NY Times, joins us for what is all means.
