Five foundational health habits

Summary:

On this episode, we’re joined by a woman who’s redefining what it means to age well: Yelena Turovskaya. From managing luxury hospitality teams to navigating her own perimenopause journey, Yelena has turned lived experience into a mission—helping women 40+ feel stronger, sharper, and more at home in their bodies.

Now a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with a deep foundation in functional medicine and culinary training, Yelena brings a refreshingly real world approach to wellness. Through her coaching practice and work at Absoulute Vitality, she guides women through sustainable lifestyle shifts that actually stick—no trendy detoxes or 'all or nothing' plans.
