198: New Year’s Longevity Goals, Strength, and Sustainable Health Habits

Hi friends! I’m live on a brand new podcast, and today we’re kicking it off with a conversation about 2026 longevity– Not just live longer; better.

This episode gives you a realistic, non-extreme roadmap to help you develop habits that support strength, vitality, resilience, and joy in the long term. If you’re tired of all-or-nothing New Year’s resolutions and want some that actually stick, this one is for you!

This is what we chatted about:

• Why longevity goals are more important than vanity goals (and how to anchor your habits to a deeper “why”)
• The sweet spot for daily movement, including step goals that truly support long-term health
• Every woman should strive to achieve functional strength benchmarks for independence and resilience as she ages
• Sleep plays a significant role in inflammation, hormones, metabolism, and overall lifespan
• How chronic stress and neurological disorders impede healing and impact long-term health
• Daily and weekly nervous system exercises to support recovery, digestion and emotional resilience
• A longevity-focused nutrition guide that prioritizes protein, fiber, metabolic flexibility, and simplicity
• How to create sustainable change by building habits—without overhauling your entire life
