In this rich and revelatory episode of A Wise and Happy Life, host Bob Martin is joined by 80-year-old wellness advocate, cookbook author, and “philosopher grandma” Lynne Bowman, whose signature line is also the title of her bestselling book: Brownies for Breakfast.

Lynne brings powerful, practical wisdom on what it means to age vibrantly—from surviving a broken femur with grace, to advocating for sugar-free, whole-food living, to lifting weights and still chasing grandkids. Her insights blend decades of real-life experience with science-backed strategies on nutrition, strength training, intermittent fasting, and emotional resilience.

What You’ll Learn:
  • 💪 Why strength training is non-negotiable for longevity—especially for women over 50
  • 🍽️ How to ditch sugar without sacrificing flavor (yes, her brownies are legit)
  • 🧠 The emotional payoff of consistency in wellness, food, and self-worth

“You can’t just eat crap and expect to get strong. It doesn’t work that way.” – Lynne Bowman

If you think wellness at any age means restriction, sacrifice, or bland food—Lynne Bowman is here to prove you wrong (with brownies!). Listen now, subscribe to A Wise and Happy Life, and share this episode with someone who needs a nudge toward vibrant aging.
