Longevity - How to Live Better Longer: Embracing Your Ageless-Aging Journey With Vigor and Purpose

Women can expect to live five years longer than men. How are you going to make the best of it? Longevity. The concept itself has been around for a very long time - gaining traction as a "buzzword" in recent decades. It has now evolved into a lifestyle movement. Our guest on today's episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast, a longevity expert is all over that and has been so for a long time. And Maddy Dychtwald has put all of her knowledge into a phenomenal new book - a national bestseller: "Ageless Aging: A Woman’s Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan."
We are in the midst of a longevity revolution. And that’s particularly true for women: *Women can expect to live five years longer than men *A 50-year old woman will live an average of 35 more years. *Women comprise 80% of centenarians, now the fastest growing segment of the world’s population. But despite these incredibly hopeful statistics showing how women are living longer, women are not necessarily living well.
