Why Brands Hire Joan Irvine Today’s 50+ consumer is informed, affluent, and actively investing in health, longevity, and quality of life. They are not looking for hype — they want trusted voices who understand where they’ve been and where they’re going. Joan Irvine is that voice. She speaks with  the 50+ audience, not at  them — combining professional expertise, lived experience, and authentic connectio

In the mid-1990s, I wrote Taking Charge of Your Changes: The Woman’s Guide and Workbook for Menopause Transition . It was created to accompany a supplement program for a planned infomercial. As part of the project, I interviewed more than 50 women. Nearly all shared difficult, often dismissive experiences with their medical doctors. Ultimately, the infomercial never moved forward. At the time, menopause was not considered an appropriate topic for mass media. It was viewed as

Is it just a senior moment — or could it be something more? Many people are surprised to learn that there are several types of dementia, each with different causes, symptoms, and progression. Understanding the differences can make a significant impact on early detection, treatment, and support.

One of the biggest opportunities in cannabis right now is the 50+ market — the fastest-growing consumer segment.

Safer Internet Day is February 10.   I spent 2002–2020 working in online child safety, even spearheading the award-winning  'Restricted to Adult' (RTA) website label  almost 20 years ago ( rtalabel.org ). I held a press conference about it in Feb 2013 at the National Press Club in DC ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhCa211k73Y ).   I've been out of the Age Verification (AV) tech space for over six "Internet years" (roughly 42 real-time years in tech terms!). So, I asked my

To all my fellow Clinical Hypnotherapists—and to the clients whose lives have been positively changed through hypnosis—happy World Hypnosis Day ! I have to say, I love the internet. We now have access to an endless world of information (yes, some of it questionable). Remember when research meant pulling out encyclopedias or heading to the library to scroll through microfiche? We’ve come a long way. And apparently, now we have days  for everything. Case in point: World Hypnosi

Sexual child abuse is a crime, and anyone involved—Republican, Democrat, Independent, celebrity, billionaire, or “whatever”—should be fully prosecuted. No excuses. No protection. No politics. When I wrote my book Recipes for Hot Sex back in 1998, the core message was simple: Whatever is safe and consensual among adults is natural, normal, and OK.” But children cannot consent. Period. For more than 11 years, I managed online child protection associations. For 9 years, I manage
