The statistics about aging can be frightening – from plummeting bone density to cognitive decline and muscle loss. But I'm here to tell you there's a revolutionary approach to aging that turns these scary numbers on their head. Today, I share how a positive mindset alone can add 7.5 years to your life, and why resistance training is non-negotiable for women over 40. We dive deep into why those little pink dumbbells aren't really serving you, and how incorporating power moves like jumping can actually reverse bone loss. I break down the science behind why high-intensity interval training becomes more crucial as we age, and reveal the game-changing benefits of creatine HCL for both brain and body health. What you'll learn: Why your mindset about aging could add years to your life The shocking truth about how much protein women really need as they age How to build power and strength without living in the gym The three-pronged approach to aging powerfully that starts with proper recovery Why traditional "aging gracefully" advice is holding you back from your best years Love the Podcast?
