Change Your Age video program

The Change Your Age video program, created by Frank Wildman, PhD, is a revolutionary new approach to healthy aging and mind-body fitness for baby boomers.

Based on brain science, this pleasurable movement-based program weaves in cognitive challenges that will help keep both your brain and your body youthful. The Change Your Age video program leverages new and unusual movements to help generate new brain cells.

As infants and children, we learned to move — to reach, crawl, walk, jump, climb — in an exploratory fashion, twisting around as we interact with our environment. Once we learn how to move, most of us stop the exploratory learning that got us moving and lock ourselves into habits of movement. As we age and start to encounter some limitations on our mobility, it is crucial to return to moving like a child and learning in this exploratory, nonlinear fashion. We don’t need to avoid linear movement like the ones we often perform at the gym — in fact, many common daily activities are linear movements — but in order to expand the range and repertoire of our movements and feel real pleasure and sensuality in our movements, it is extremely valuable to practice nonlinear and exploratory movements.

Pain, stiffness, fatigue — these are issues that affect us all as we age. But if we reframe how we look at pain, stiffness and fatigue, we can come to understand them as the result of ineffective movement habits.

The brief lessons of the Change Your Age video program teach you how to return to the exploratory, creative movements of your youth, engaging your brain and body to maximize your agility, strength, and vitality as you age. With this program, you can regain the joy of movement.

“The Change Your Age Program presents an entirely new way of thinking about how we use our bodies and minds ... it has the potential to revolutionize the future of exercise.”
· Ken Dychtwald Ph.D., founder of Age Wave, author of Healthy Aging and Age Power

The TMJ Program

The TMJ Program includes 6 lessons, each 10 minutes in length. The Program uses a unique understanding of human neurology to reduce chronic tension in the jaw, face, neck, and upper back, and to reverse long-standing movement habits responsible for the original TMJ symptoms. The lessons are gentle and easy to do. Reduce postural stress in the head, neck, and shoulders, and eliminate frequently occurring headaches.

TMJ symptoms can disappear within days of using these exercises. This program offers an ideal first step in the treatment of this condition. In most cases, it will eliminate the need for further measures, and if additional medical intervention is needed, your new movement patterns will increase the chances of treatment success.

The TMJ program was an “Aha” moment in my life. I had suffered from really bad headaches and migraines for years and had used every known therapy and cure to help but to no avail. When I used the TMJ Intelligent Body lessons, I experienced enormous relief and since then no more headaches. -O-sel Nyima

Definitely improved my TMJ symptoms. At first I used it about 5 times a week for about 2 months. Now I use the movements I learned whenever I feel my jaw tighten. I use the lessons before and after going to the dentist – he has used Dr. Wildman’s program himself. -Marcia Clark

This is much easier to do than get $6,000 worth of braces or dental work. -Frances Delucia
