How The Words You Use About Aging Change Your Body

In this episode, I get into something that shapes how we age more than most people realize: the stories we tell ourselves about getting older. Hearing dismissive comments, age stereotypes, and “it’s all downhill from here” narratives online made me wonder — what if those beliefs are actually affecting our health, energy, and longevity?I unpack fascinating research on the mind-body connection, including studies showing how negative beliefs about aging can influence memory, walking speed, cardiovascular health, and even lifespan.You'll hear about the subtle ways culture, social media, and casual self-deprecating language reinforce these beliefs — and what we can do instead to protect both our mindset and our physical well-being. If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I’m too old for that,” this episode may completely change the way you think about aging.*****Check out the original Medium post HERE - and be sure to follow me!
