5 Ways I’m Supporting Graceful Aging

As I embrace these final months of my 30s, I've become increasingly focused on supporting my body through the transition into my 40s. Aging is a beautiful journey and I'm determined to make it as expansive and graceful as possible. From exploring healing remedies to elevating my nutrition, diving deeper into weightlifting, indulging in lymphatic massages, and delving into the intricacies of cellular health, I've been on a journey to empower myself to age gracefully. 

Every year brings new challenges, new wisdom, new love and life. I’ve always felt honored to embrace every new stage of life whether it was 16, 18, 25, 30 and now entering my 40s. In life, I practice transparency and authenticity in everything I do in order to remain completely honest to where I’m at in life, what I’m struggling with, what I’m in love with and finding the courage and determination to fight through the challenges that inhibit my growth.

I’m sharing my top five ways to support graceful aging with a special focus on a new supplement I've recently incorporated into my routine: Time—line’s Mitopure™.

PRIORITIZING MY HEALING

With the loss of my mama and moving through lots of transitions in my home, I’ve prioritized my healing in all ways. This looks like daily yoga & movement practices, regular acupuncture treatments (face and body), cupping, inner mouth release and buccal massage for stress held in the jaw, energy work + so much more.

ELEVATING MY NUTRITION

As we age, our bodies require different nutrients to function optimally. To support graceful aging, I've become more intentional about my nutrition. I've shifted my diet to include more antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and nuts. Additionally, I've incorporated supplements to ensure I'm getting all the essential vitamins and minerals my body needs.

I’ve taken Philosophie superfoods and products EVERY DAY for over 10 years and I don’t believe there is any coincidence that I continue to find more energy and confidence as I grow older. These high-quality, nutrient-dense superfood blends and ingredients WORK so whether it’s adding cacao, reishi and maca to my morning coffee, spirulina and mesquite on my pasta, collagen and adaptogens into my evening elixirs or liquid chlorophyll into my water I make sure to elevate every meal.

LESS CARDIO, MORE STRENGTH-TRAINING

Strength training isn't just for the young and athletic—it's a fantastic way to stay strong and agile as we age. Weightlifting has become a fundamental part of my fitness routine. It not only helps me maintain muscle mass but also boosts my metabolism, contributing to overall well-being and graceful aging. Weightlifting is imperative for our bones, especially as women, as our bone density decreases over time.

Challenge yourself to increase the weight you’re using week after week in small increments. For example, hold two barbells in your hands, the heaviest you can (i like 15-20lbs each) while you step up on a bench. Do as many as you can on each leg, for 3 rounds. I typically do 12-15 per leg. If the weight gets heavy, just drop the weight for the final steps but don’t stop stepping!

LYMPHATIC MASSAGES

Lymphatic massages are a hidden gem for graceful aging. These specialized massages stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to eliminate toxins, reduce inflammation, and enhance circulation. I've found that regular lymphatic massages leave me feeling so rested, rejuvenated and balanced.

ENHANCING CELLULAR HEALTH WITH TIME—LINE’S MITOPURE™

One of the essential factors in graceful aging is the health of our cells, particularly our mitochondria—the energy powerhouses of our bodies. Over time, the efficiency of these can diminish, leading to reduced energy, slower muscle recovery, and decreased muscle strength.

Enter Time—line’s Mitopure™. This supplement contains a compound called Urolithin A, which is known for its ability to support mitochondrial function in our cells. By incorporating Mitopure™ into my daily routine, I've been able to supercharge my cellular health and muscle strength. Whether I'm adding the Mitopure powder to my superfood smoothies or taking their softgels, I've experienced a noticeable improvement in my energy levels and overall vitality.

Embracing every new transition and season of your life is an empowering experience that should be celebrated. Graceful aging is about nourishing your body, staying active, and embracing the beauty of each passing year. My journey has been enriched by practices like healing remedies, nutrient-dense eating, weightlifting, lymphatic massages, and, of course, the incredible support I've found in supplements like Time—line’s Mitopure™ and my own line of multi-functional superfood blends.

So, here I am, approaching this beautiful new transition and EMBRACING my new growth edges and sitting in the magic of all I have created up to this point. I am abundant. My children are happy and that’s what matters.

 Age is just a number, and it’s OUR choice to make it look and feel fantastic. Here's to aging with grace and so much love and excitement!
