Aging With Vitality

Self Care Mastery

Will you be a victim to aging? Or will you be active, playful, happy, healthy and relevant - full of pride and vitality?


Let’s get turned on to aging. Whether you are 40, 50 or 60. The clock will not stop, and we can’t turn it back.  As a matter of fact we want to keep the clock ticking, and direct the quality of our time while we are here. We have the power to create and steer our future.

There is a paradigm shift happening and we are learning how we can be a strong force of healthy parents, grandparents, and elders.

What may have worked for us in the past is no longer working. A new way is being birthed that promises something more grand than a statistic.

Let’s Age with Purpose, Pride and Vitality

Aging with purpose means being in control of yourself, your diet, your attitude, your self-care, your life. It means knowing what is best for you, that you have a mindset that supports your dreams, and the stamina and vitality to fulfill them. Self care mastery is what will get you there.

I find many people that dread aging because they are frightened that they will lose control of their vibrancy.  If you're scared and dread getting older, you're not the only one. Everywhere you look, you hear disparaging messages about being older. It's as if the best days are behind us and the only thing we can look forward to (or not look forward to) is heart disease, cancer, obesity, arthritis, stiff joints, surgery, auto-immune diseases, lack of energy, dementia and you name it, more depressing stuff.

And this is for a good reason (or bad, one can say); unfortunately, in our western culture, we have embraced a paradigm that supports the over use of pharmaceutical drugs, processed and fast-food, sedentary lifestyle, and a consumer culture—none of which supports healthy, productive, and purposeful lives. On the contrary, this model is contributing to illness, headaches, and heartaches.

Take my client Bill for example. He's only 50 but he's suffering physically and emotionally. Bill is tall, nice looking, and fairly strong. His diet is horrendous by most people’s standards except his. He eats at fast food joints, McD's for breakfast and pizza at Costco for dinner. He munches on milk chocolate color coated candies at night filled with high fructose, and preservatives. He gets up in the morning stiff and complaining of pain. One morning he blurted out, “Getting old sucks.”  Bill finally lost weight due to his new job which required more physical activity than he is used to, and he is looking pretty good, but he is feeling horrible. He is in chronic pain, tired, and often in an unmotivated depressed mood. The worst part about this is that he is not happy, though he has a wonderful marriage and family.

Bill is at a time in his life where he can no longer get away with his fast food destructive lifestyle patterns. He is headed down the road of illness.

It doesn't have to be this way! I'm here to emphatically tell you that there is another way!

Bill knows better, but he does not do better. I asked him why. His response was that he does not care. Simple as that.

How about you? Do you care?

I ask you this because I find that many people don’t care as long as they are getting away with bad habits, or at least they think they are. Many start the self care engine when it is too late. They are already dependent on insulin, medications or on their way to a chemo treatment. Perhaps they are even losing their body parts. And, if then they decide to make changes it takes a lot more effort to reboot and revitalize, although it is always possible.

The time to act is now - no matter how old you are, and particularly if you are in your late 40’s or 50’s. But, it is never too late, even if you are in your 60’s or 70’s you can still reduce inflammation and enhance your quality of life.

Join me in 3 month Mastermind to restore, regenerate and prepare to build a body to last a lifetime.

You can get healthier! You can discover a diet for your personal lifestyle, stabilize your weight, gain energy back, feel comfortable and pain free in your body.

You can feel inspired and purposeful in your lives once again (or for the first time in your life)! You have a choice. You can redefine what it means to age and ride on into your 70’s and beyond with vibrant health and ease. The time to start is NOW.

My vision for you is to fulfill your personal and professional goals, and make a a meaningful contribution to your family and community.

My vision for you is to have the vitality to work, dance, hike a vista with panoramic views, write a book, play with your children and grandchildren, travel the world, ride, swim, create, play, and explore during a long, healthy and happy life.

The more you act now, the better the rest of your life will be, and the more likely your olden years will be golden years.

As we move into our retirement years we will have enough vitality and motivation to be productive, add richness to our culture, and make a contribution to a more vibrant world for the next generations. We can build a legacy by utilizing the wisdom we earned.

How about you?

If you are not living a healthy lifestyle, what is stopping you?

It is vital that you ask yourself this, then answer honestly and figure out what you need to do to reverse the situation. Because……….. You too, can start shifting from the old paradigm of aging to a new one, where you're feeling great, and on the purpose of aging.

Here are a couple of examples of clients who have shifted from the old paradigm to the new, starting with their diet and mindset:

Patricia is 62. She went through chemo and radiation for ovarian cancer. Fortunately, she was able to resume her busy life after her cancer treatment, but within a year she needed major back surgery due to extreme pain and inflammation. After the back surgery and healing, she gained 15 lbs and needed to lose that weight in order to undergo another surgery, this time for hip replacement surgery for both hips. She came to me to lose the 15 lbs. We created a customized plan, kept adjusting her diet, got her swimming (which she loves and could do) and within 5 weeks she forgot to take her pain medication because she was out of pain. Whoa, we were so excited. Just by taking sugar and processed foods (mostly carbs) out of her life, putting in high quality veggies, protein and fats, she alleviated most of her inflammation, dropped the weight and is on her way to surgery with new habits and a more assured prognosis for a successful surgery and recovery. What she valued most from her transition was the support from her mastermind group. There was a synergy created by working together.

Heather is in her mid 60's. She is quite beautiful, slim, and suffering only from lack of energy and digestive issues. When looking ahead, she was scared because she did not have a family to take care of her, and she still needed to earn a living. She was so tired all the time, and had digestive issues. She was not motivated to work. She had been a vegetarian most her life, and therefore thought her diet was good. But, after investigation, we discovered that she was eating a lot of empty foods in the form of grab and go meals, and fast snacks. We implemented more nourishing dietary habits, and revitalized her digestion. She hates exercising but loves dancing so we found her a dance class and that helped to enhance her energy, stamina and happiness. With new instructions, shopping ideas, and enhanced motivation, Heather began to fuel her body, which resulted in the increased energy and mental clarity she needed to show up for her job like she wanted.

These are just two examples of people who are taking a stand for Aging with Purpose, Pride & Power. They are building a body to last a lifetime!
