Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Wow, I look older than I feel?” Or maybe a birthday has made you rethink your entire self-image. If so, this episode is for you! Today, we’re diving into the science behind aging- what actually happens at the cellular level, why some people seem to age in reverse, and how we can embrace aging while optimizing our health and vitality.
In this solo episode, I discuss:
- Why aging is not the enemy but a privilege
- The myths about aging that we've been led to believe
- The real science behind metabolism, muscle loss, and genetics in aging
- How stress and systemic factors contribute to accelerated aging in Black women
- The role of telomeres in aging and how we can protect them
- Actionable strategies to slow down aging and remain as vibrant as our Hollywood faves ( we see you Tracee Ellis Ross, Gabrielle Union, and Halle Berry!)
