Let's Age Differently
For almost two years, I’ve been writing to you with all my best easy tips to improve your health.
I love hearing from you when you tell me what you’ve implemented and what’s worked well for you.
My goal is that eating well and improving your health can be doable.
Otherwise, it won’t stick long-term.
Some of you have replied, saying maybe I’ll work on my health when…
- The kids are out of the house
- I have more time
- I have the bandwidth
- I feel inspired
Do you find yourself saying any of these?
I get it.
Most women are juggling running a household, kids, work, elder parents, and social commitments.
Your health is your most precious asset.
Have you ever heard the quote: “A healthy man wants a thousand things, a sick man wants only one.”
There’s lifespan, and then there’s healthspan.
My wish for you is to be a happy, healthy old lady or old man.
To have your independence.
To pursue hobbies, time with family, or travel.
To have a wonderful quality of life to the end.
The foundations for having a vibrant old age need to be addressed in midlife.
I was chatting with a woman at the local bank.
She and her husband are in their early 40s.
They both have a lot of health issues:
- High cholesterol.
- High blood pressure.
- Autoimmune issues.
- Digestive issues.
- Pre-diabetes
Her husband thinks that taking a statin is his get out jail free card.
He can eat whatever he wants.
The reality is these symptoms are like the check engine light going off on your dashboard.
Would you keep driving around for thousands of miles without doing anything?
Investing in your health and taking care of your body can support you in having healthspan, not just living longer.
I see so many people in their 70s and 80s who are slipping into cognitive decline, debilitating joint pain, and poor metabolic health (high blood pressure, pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, high triglycerides, high cholesterol).
Not only is this a very expensive way to age.
Assisted living costs around $5,000/month.
Skilled nursing is around $15,000/month.
You lose your independence.
Your world becomes very small.
Nothing was more painful than having to move my Mom to assisted living because of her cognitive decline.
She asked me to please let her stay in her own home.
The reality was she couldn’t take care of herself.
It wasn’t safe.
While we’ve normalized this in our society, it’s possible to be the exception to the rule.
Google Joan MacDonald of Train with Joan.
At 71 years old, she radically transformed her life by changing her nutrition and working out.
She’s about to turn 80, and she got off all her medications.
Nutrition and lifestyle changes work.
She’s created healthspan and independence for herself.
I’m offering a 30-day Vitality Reset, a small-group program that starts in January.
If 2026 is your year to invest in yourself, this is your opportunity.
Give yourself the gift of health.
I had a client who is balancing motherhood, caring for her elderly Mom, and working.
She realized that eating nourishing meals (not dieting) and drinking enough water have been foundational to managing her stress levels.
She has more bandwidth for all the curveballs life is throwing at her these days.
