Hello friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live and today we’re starting 2026 with a conversation about the topic Longevity – Not just live longer, but live better.
This episode is your realistic, non-exaggerated roadmap to building habits that promote long-term strength, energy, resilience and joy. If you’re tired of all-or-nothing New Year’s goals and want something that really sticks, then this is for you!
Here’s what we’re talking about:
- Why Longevity Goals Are More Important Than Vanity Goals (and How to Anchor Your Habits in a Deeper “Why”)
- The ideal place for daily exercise, including step count goals that actually support long-term health
- Functional strength benchmarks every woman should work toward to achieve independence and resilience as they age
- The non-negotiable role sleep plays in inflammation, hormones, metabolism and overall longevity
- How chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can slow healing and impact long-term health
- Daily and weekly nervous system exercises that support recovery, digestion and emotional resilience
- Longevity-focused nutritional guidelines that emphasize protein, fiber, metabolic flexibility and simplicity
- How to create lasting change with habits – without overhauling your entire life
198: Longevity Goals, Strength, and Sustainable Health Habits for the New Year

This episode is practical, empowering, and designed to help you feel strong, energized, and capable not just this year, but for decades to come.
Listen and tell me which longevity habit you start with first.

If any of my healthcare professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You’re welcome to join if you don’t currently work in the health or fitness industry. Many IHPs do not start this path. They are friends who are passionate about learning more about health and wellness and want to share that information with those they love. You can do this out of passion or start a completely new career.
