Hello friends! I have a brand new live podcast episode and today we’re kicking off 2026 with a conversation about longevity – not only live longer, but live better.
This episode is your realistic, no-extremes roadmap to developing habits that support 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, this is the one for you!
Here’s what we’re discussing:
- Why Longevity Goals Are More Important Than Vanity Goals (And How to Root Your Habits in a Deeper “Why”)
- The sweet spot for everyday movement, including step count goals that actually support long-term health
- Functional Strength Benchmarks Every Woman Should Strive Towards to Gain Independence and Resilience as We Age
- The non-negotiable role sleep plays in inflammation, hormones, metabolism and overall longevity
- How chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can block healing and impact long-term health
- Daily and weekly nervous system practices that support recovery, digestion, and emotional resilience
- Longevity-focused nutritional guidelines that prioritize protein, fiber, metabolic flexibility, and simplicity
- How to Build Habits and Work Your Way to Lasting Change, Without Rethinking Your Whole Life
198: Longevity, Strength, and Sustainable Health Habits Goals for the New Year
This episode is practical, empowering, and designed to help you feel strong, energetic, and capable not only this year, but decades from now.
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 go and heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can absolutely join if you don’t currently work in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs are not going down this path. They are friends who are passionate about health and wellness and want to share this information with those they love. You can do this out of passion or start a whole new career.
