#83: Reframing Longevity

The Marketing for Health Coaches Podcast

Conversations about longevity have gone off the rails - creating stress and fear about “needing” to do “all the things” and stay up-to-date on the latest trends.

It’s time to flip the script about longevity to one about living better vs. living longer.

In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague, Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator, Andrea Nakayama.

In the episode, you’ll learn:

• What’s missing from the current discourse about longevity
• How to switch the conversation to be about aging with purpose, grace, and dignity.
• How we can develop better filters when we're being “sold” anti-aging products or strategies

And, during the episode, Andrea shared about her upcoming book club - The Long View —a 10-month journey to explore longevity differently.
The Long View isn’t just a book club—it’s a space to reflect, grow, and discover how to live with purpose, connection, and joy, no matter where we are in life.
It starts on February 19th, click here to learn more about this amazing opportunity.
