Lean Aging Wellness

My patients always walk out better than they walked in

Aging better means managing your pain holistically, rather than simply taking NSAIDS or getting shots that don’t work.

It is a fallacy to believe you can eat whatever you want just because you exercised. Especially in the early stages of your weight loss journey.

The difference between personal training and medical fitness is one is focused on aesthetics while medical fitness aims to restore long-term mobility, stability, & function post-injury or surgery.

We work with your DC, MD, PT, etc to manage your health conditions and slow down poor aging. Baby boomers especially need medical fitness specialists to help them improve and maintain their quality of life.

Holistic pain management =higher quality of life & age reversal

Blueberries are a Younger You Longevity superfood. Why?

They are rich sources of DNA methylation-supportive nutrients (aka epinutrients), such as anthocyanins, chlorogenic acid, ellagic acid, and quercetin.

Quercetin, for example, is a senolytic compound, meaning it wards off aging. And it helps optimize genetic expression. Found in many vegetables & fruits, quercetin is known for its antihistamine properties and can also help lower cholesterol as well as protect against viruses.

Another bonus for berries - they’re sweet while still being low-sugar and low-glycemic, making them a natural fit for the Younger You program.

Luckily most berries aren’t a hard sell—they are delicious on their own, especially when they are in season!

When they’re not in season, frozen wild or organic versions are great additions to smoothies and Younger You–approved grain-free baked goods, like our popular Blueberry Beet Scones 😋 (recipe is in the Younger You book).

Any type of heat therapy works, including saunas, infrared saunas, steams, hot baths, hot springs, and even hot yoga!

Finding a way— even just a hot bath—to regularly boost your temperature is an easy, cheap, and rejuvenating strategy to improve your health span and address the root causes of aging.

Do you follow a hot or cold therapy routine? I’d love to know!

Whole-Person holistic pain care addresses the mind, body and spirit. It addresses the root causes of muscle pain and dysfunction, depression and social isolation, nutritional deficiency, stress and sleep.

If you’re a chronic pain sufferer, NSAIDS are only a temporary solution that only addresses your symptoms, but not the underlying causes. It doesn’t solve your mental health issues, your need for healthy weight loss, physical wellness, or stress related illnesses or digestive disorders.

You need a practitioner in your life who can provide integrative health strategies that will promote drug-free pain relief, positivity, and longevity.

Holistic pain management includes personalized nutrition, massage therapy, movement, herbal medicine, sleep hygiene, and hydrotherapy. Determining the optimal balance of these treatments for your situation is the key.

Losing muscle, weight gain, degenerative joint pain as you age decreases your independence and increases depression and cognitive decline. Eat, sleep, and exercise with that in mind. Independence is essential.
