Summary

I recently celebrated my 60th birthday, and I am more excited for the next decade of my life than any other time in the past. I truly feel better than ever before, and today I want to share some of the habits I’ve learned that help me age powerfully and enjoy every step along the way. One study found that people with a positive perception of aging actually lived an average of 7.5 years longer than those who had a negative perception! So I’m embracing each new year focused on pursuing my passions and aging with purpose and positivity. In today’s episode, I share the types of goals I set to keep me inspired and engaged. I’ll reveal my favorite self-care tips, and how I’m tracking my fitness and staying in the best shape of my life. I’ve been working in the world of fitness for 40 years, so that’s saying something! I’ll also share my best diet advice and the supplements I take every day for healthy aging. Tune in and find out how you can live your best life in the second half!
