The Surprising Possibilities of Getting Older

Your birthday rolls around every year whether you’re ready or not. But what if aging well had less to do with your age and more to do with your mindset? In this episode of Healthy Looks Great on You, we’re diving into the science of healthy aging and why it’s never too late to start.

Yale researcher Dr. Becca Levy found that nearly 45% of adults over 65 actually improve in cognitive and physical function over time. The best may genuinely be yet to come, but it depends on two things: your mindset and your lifestyle.

In this episode, we’re talking about what aging well really looks like, not botox and facelifts. The real stuff like enough energy to hike in the woods, the strength to get up off the floor after playing with your grandkids, and the mental sharpness to win at cards.

We also tackle the biggest reason most healthy habits don’t stick. And it’s not lack of willpower or discipline. It’s that we’re approaching it all wrong.

In this episode:

• Why nearly half of adults over 65 actually get better with age — and how to be one of them
• How the story you tell yourself about aging directly affects how you age
• Why fear motivates in the short-term, but doesn’t last 
• The three things a pastor and a gerontologist both agree make life worth living
• One simple mindset shift you can start using today
