Ep 30: How to Hit Your Stride in Your 60s


Listen Later

My friend, I'm here to tell you that as you age, there is absolutely no need to fear the decline of your vitality or your quality of life. The secret? Healthy habits! Today, I have the pleasure of chatting with my student, Jennifer Taylor, a remarkable 69-year-old woman who completely turned her life around after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Through simple changes to her diet and a newfound love for exercise, she's now thriving at almost 70, full of energy and strength!  

If you've been feeling tired and unmotivated as you age, Jennifer's story is guaranteed to inspire! She shares all the adjustments she made to her protein and carb intake, advice for maintaining your muscle mass as you get older, and how she's full of energy all day long without needing to nap. I promise you – you don't have to live out your later years feeling terrible, and this episode is all the proof you’ll ever need!
