The science regarding living longer is no longer just about genes---it's about the choices we make every day. In this episode, host Cathleen Toomey welcomes Maddy Dychtwald, award-winning author, speaker, and co-founder of Age Wave, to discuss her groundbreaking research and insights from her latest book, Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan.

Maddy reveals how women, who outlive men on average, often face unique challenges in maintaining their health and independence. She shares actionable strategies for managing inflammation, improving balance, and even boosting brain health with practical hacks like the "Flamingo Test" and an anti-inflammatory diet.

Tune in to learn:

• Why health is the "new affluence" and how it impacts everything from finances to fulfillment.
• The surprising link between hydration, circadian rhythms, and cognitive function.
• Why strength training is a game-changer for women over 60---and how it's never too late to rebuild muscle mass.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to take control of their health and redefine what it means to age well.
