Today’s #ageless #WCW is Ida Keeling.

Ida lost her mother at a young age, then her husband, and two of her children. She sunk into a deep depression and her blood pressure reached dangerous levels, until she decided to change her habits and took up the way healing felt most familiar to her: running.

In 2011, at 95 years old, Ida set the world record in her age group for running 60 meters at 29.86 seconds. In 2014, at 99 years old, she set the world record for the 100-meter dash at 59.80 seconds. In 2016, just before her 101st birthday, she set the world record for the number of push-ups in her age bracket and broke her own world record in the 100-meter dash. 

Now at 105 years old, she is still #unstoppable

When asked why she runs, she says she’s “running from old age.” Chile, aren’t we all?!

Speaking of living your best ageless life, the doors are now open for my signature online course, Staying Ageless 30+. 

This course is designed for women 30+ who want to be fly until 99 (or close to it), need to learn how to create life-giving healthy rituals that leave you feeling and looking better than ever, want to fast track and hone in on the best diet and exercise for your body that will get you results, and need to refocus on self-care and prioritizing your health.

One of the true markers of health is resilience. The regular practice of self-care to “fill your well,” helps to increase your resilience and boost your overall health long term. 

In the podcast episode that dropped Saturday, I discussed my definition of self-care. Take your MEDSS is an acronym you can use to remember to hit the fundamentals in your own life and each letter stands for what I believe is an essential part of self-care.

M is for MINDFULNESS. 

E is for EXERCISE. 

D is for DIET. 

S is for SLEEP.

S is for SUPPLEMENTS.

When you get beyond these basics you can  focus on additional things that promote our well-being such as: 

1. Balance: A positive outlook on life is key to staying balanced emotionally. Other things you can do to promote balance is to stay vigilant of your time spent working. If you spend weeks pushing super hard at work with absolutely no rest, you will eventually burnout. Learning how to add some rest and play even in a busy season is very important.
2. Pursuing Your Passion: One way we take care of our well-being is to pursue work and hobbies that make our hearts sing. It is essential to have engaging personal goals and objectives. The ability to accomplish our objectives provides us with a sense of accomplishment and reinforces an attitude of well-being.
3. Self-pampering is finding time to engage in activities that reduce stress or just make you feel good. How you choose to pamper yourself will be unique to you. Find what feels luxurious to you, and schedule in regular time to splurge on yourself, because you are worth it.

I’m a nutritionist, but I am anti-diet books. LOL. 

This is because I believe in bio-individuality. 

I don’t believe anybody has any business saying that their way of eating will work for everyone.

Bio-individuality is the notion that each individual has unique dietary needs dictated by genetics, ancestral diet, environment, and also any deficiencies and chronic conditions. Although it’s difficult to lay down hard and fast dietary rules that apply to all, not consuming too much refined sugar, salt, processed foods, dairy, and gluten is a generally great rule for anyone that needs to reduce inflammation, maintain a healthy weight, and remain disease-free.

To take it a step further and consume a diet that is tailored to your unique needs and helps to build muscle and shed fat is an entirely different challenge. Metabolic typing is one way to gain insight into how to do this effectively and I’ve loved using this tool along with others to help my clients.

There are three metabolic types:

* Fat & Protein Efficient

* Carbohydrate Efficient

* Dual Metabolism

In my signature online program, Staying Ageless 30+, we help every woman who joins understand her unique body type so she can reach her #ageless goals. The doors are now open!

Today’s #ageless #WCW is @trainwithjoan 

Joan is out here proving that it’s NEVER too late to make big life changes. At 70-years-old, she was on multiple medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and acid reflux. Doctors were telling her she needed to up the dosages — unless she made a drastic lifestyle change.

She was done with the meds, tired of feeling helpless, and uncomfortable in her skin. So she worked on developing healthier habits with the help of her daughter. Joan began going on walks, practicing yoga, and started weight lifting. 

She lost 62 lbs, her doctors gave her a clean bill of health, and she no longer takes those medications. Chile, seeing videos of her workout is my #fitnessmotivation

“We are strong and capable of change,” she says. “I hope that more women my age embrace being pushed and appreciate that someone is interested in seeing you try harder. Even though you can’t turn back the clock, you can wind it up again.”

Chile, catch me in Thrive magazine!

Big thank you to Parveen Panwar for the interview on one of my favorite topics to talk about: how to create healthy habits.

This article was also published in Authority Magazine. Read my tips via this link, which should give you more than you can implement this year. Grab a cup of green juice, tea, or adaptogenic coffee before you start because we covered a lot.

In the interview I also discussed my amazing team’s launch of Staying Ageless University which is our new destination for healing programs including Staying Ageless 30+ (which enrollment is now OPEN for), Raw Girl’s Hormonal Balance Academy, and more.

Follow us on Instagram @StayingAgeless and stay tuned for upcoming deets on all of the programs that will be available soon. -XO

One of the true markers of health is resilience, and the regular practice of self-care to “fill your well,” helps to increase your resilience and boost your overall health long term. Here are 5 fundamentals of self-care to help you focus your attention and create healthy rituals in specific dimensions of your holistic wellness. 

1. Proper Nutrition: Eating properly is essential to good health and spending the time to really assess what your nutritional requirements are is key. All of us are different, and it’s important to remove any foods that cause inflammation, allergens, or even mild food sensitivities. 
2. Water is needed by your body to function properly and to encourage proper elimination. To determine the amount of water that is adequate for you, divide your body weight in half and drink that many fluid ounces of water. There is a thing as too much water, so generally try not to exceed one gallon.
3. Sleep is the pillar of health that is the foundation for other aspects of wellness. Sleep deprivation increases our insulin resistance, influences the hormones that affect our cravings, decreases our memory recall and retention, and can decrease our alertness and motor skills. The sleep requirement for you is going to be unique to your body, but a general rule of thumb is to aim for 7-8 hours.
4. Mindfulness when practiced regularly can change the course of your day for the better. Taking in deep breaths brings oxygen to the whole cellular structure and relaxation skills can help you counteract the effects of prolonged or chronic stress, and also learn to respond rather than react to stressors in your environment. 
5. Time in Nature: Researchers are becoming more aware of the value of light on our psychological well-being. Sunshine can improve your attitude and boost your resilience. In tandem with this, nature bathing has also been shown by scientific research to accelerate healing, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve mood. 

My signature course, StayingAgeless 30+ helps women like you LEVEL UP your rituals. And I got good news Chile, my team is opening up enrollment again next week!
