Women over 50 are a force to reckon with. There are 63 million of us. On average, we women live six years longer than men, yet, sadly, many older women spend on average the last 14 years of their lives in a cascade of poor health. “Men die quicker, but women get sicker.”  Maddy Dychtwald, national best-selling author and co-founder of Age World, is out to change that. Her latest book Ageless Aging: A Woman’s Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan, is a call to arms.  In this episode, Maddy talks about the kind of kid she was, her nomadic family that moved every three years and the impact on her personality, her short career as an actress,  and why and how she got into the business of aging and, with her husband, founded Age Wave.  What, she asked, is the back story of active, self-actualized older women?  What can we learn from them and how can we take advantage of the gift of our bonus years to live healthy, happy lives?  You won’t want to miss this interview. 

                  “Wherever you are in your aging journey, it’s never too late to invest in your well-being or to reinvent yourself. It is possible for life to get better and better as you age, especially when you are open to the idea that our longevity bonus can be an ascent, not a decline.”                       ________________________Maddy Dychtwaldhttps://agewave.com/https://agewave.com/contact-us/Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainstan, And Lifespan
