What if the key to younger skin, stronger muscles, and a sharper mind isn’t more cardio—but more connection?

In this episode, we’re joined by Kristin McGee, a nationally recognized yoga and wellness educator who bridges classical practice with modern science to help people live, move, and age better, inside and out.

We unpack the science of mindful movement and its direct impact on aging. From her days on 30 Rock to launching Peloton’s yoga platform, Kristin shares what 30+ years of teaching has taught her about resilience, skin vitality, and aging well.

We dive into how somatic movement lowers cortisol (the #1 aging accelerator), why strength training is non-negotiable after 40, and how to design a workout routine that builds collagen, not just calories burned.

Kristin McGee is a nationally recognized yoga and wellness teacher, strength coach, and author of Somatic Exercises For Dummies.

Let’s get into it.
