Your story is just beginning.

For 59 years, I didn’t think about aging.  But lately, it’s been on my mind a lot.  The reason why I’ve been thinking about aging?  I don’t feel like the 60-year-old that I am – and that got me curious.

We can’t stop the aging process, but we can age well and actively.  So today, we’ll take a look at:

• What it means to live vibrantly in our 50s, 60s and beyond;

• How we can change the aging paradigm; and

• Specific wellness investments you can make to continue to live with vitality.

Aging has long been associated with decline and dependency.  That’s because the conventional models we have are based on inactive, sedentary lifestyles that lead to frailness and diminishing capacities.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.

I’ve often said that I feel better at 60 than I did at 35.  The main reason is I take better care of myself.  I eat lots of fruit and veg, exercise and get solid sleep – most nights.  Am I perfect at this? – far from it.  And when I feel I need a boost – I order a ProLon Meal Kit. 

ProLon is a five-day meal program that’s fast mimicking.  That means, the food combination was designed so the body’s cells believe they’re not being fed, shifting the body into fasting mode so you reap the benefits of a water fast while still eating a limited amount of food.  This allows for cellular repair and regeneration throughout the program.  I’ve also experienced decreased joint inflammation and increased fat loss, especially visceral fat in the belly area.

Around this time last year, I flipped through the calendar and saw it.  The number 60.  It was a very round number – and it was attached to my birthday! The experience stayed with me and I started the new year with a feeling that was foreign to me – dread.  I was getting old.  And there was nothing I could do about it except count down the months to my next milestone.

Here’s the good news.  As I write this, I’m about five months into my new decade, and I feel like I have a new lease on life.  What changed?  A lot of reflection and a shift in perspective.

I also realized that my insights would have been helpful when I entered my second career chapter, leaving my corporate career for the entrepreneurial path.  Whatever life transition you’re facing, here are the five things I wish someone shared with me as prepared for my next life phase...
