Welcome to Brilliant Aging
Embrace positive aging expectations and live a joyfully balanced life filled with adventure and possibilities - your whole life!
What’s your aging story?
Whether you’re 40+ or 70+ you may realize that you’re not as strong and energetic as you used to be – or as you want to be! Or maybe you’ve given up something you love because it’s become more difficult, so less joyful. This pathway is so common that most people call it aging and resign themselves to gradually making their worlds smaller, less challenging, and more predictable. At this critical juncture, what you choose to do next will determine your life’s trajectory. For example, did you know:
-
Negative expectations of aging can actively sabotage health.
-
The average person loses about 1- 1½ % of strength per year after age 30 - leading to physical frailty – but it’s preventable!
-
The race to ‘bio-hack’ aging offers great potential; but know the facts! Don't be fooled by half truths and false promises.
Brilliant Aging is about empowering you with the best research, tools, and inspiration available to live with vitality and joy regardless of challenges!
