As we get older, we start to experience a range of mental and physical changes. Whether it's a little extra weight you've never noticed before or a transition into menopause, it can become stressful when you don't know what's natural and what's in your control. But if you understand how to nurture your mind and body through the years, life just feels better. In this episode, Dr. Diane Downing shares the self-care practices she teaches at the famous Canyon Ranch Resort that you can use to age beautifully and gracefully, finding more freedom, wisdom, and happiness in the years ahead.
