About this episode

Dr. Jeff Armstrong and Corbin Bruton discuss the importance of identifying what to stop doing in order to age better.

In a culture obsessed with doing more—more supplements, more workouts, more goals—we rarely ask a simpler and more powerful question: “What should we stop doing?” In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast , Dr. Jeff Armstrong and co-host Corbin Bruton explore the power of subtraction as a transformative approach to aging well. Rather than adding complexity, listeners are invited to consider which habits, beliefs, and pressures may actually be accelerating decline. Grounded in the SPIES model—Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social—this conversation offers practical, accessible ways to create space for growth, resilience, and meaning as we age.
