My parents are full of joy! Among all of the optimizations, I think this driver of good health is an important one.

Amazing! I’m curious which hormones your step-mom takes. I would love to continue to take HRT forever since it’s so important for my bone health. Inspiring for me if that’s possible!

I believe you can stay on hormones forever as its good for bones but also your heart and brain. She uses a compounded formula of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

I just wrote a post about turning 60 in a few months. We need more stories like hers to inspire instead of make us fear. I will do my best to be an aging story worthy of sharing like hers is. xx

My parents are like this too! They have always been fitter than us kids. My dad is 74 and still has a six pack, runs every day. My mom also runs and does hot yoga. Both vegetarian and have active lives. It’s cool to see. Def my role model. I’m taking a few tips from your parents with me too! Thanks for sharing

Your parents sound amazing. When this level of health is modeled for us, it makes it easier to build in good habits today that we can sustain forever. We should interview your parents too!!

There were 5 wheelchairs on my flight home. My parents are easily 20 years older than the people in them. Reminds me that aging is inevitable but decline is not.
