First, we have to nail sleep.

It doesn't matter who you are.

You have to.

Because you cannot.

You cannot invoke any kind of metabolic or body composition change without adequate sleep.

also improves stress resilience.

Then we look at nutrition and physical activity.

The behaviors that go with both of those are somewhat independent.

You have some people that are more motivated to do physical activity, and some people who are more motivated to change nutritional habits.

Most of the time, they're two different personalities.

So we have to look at what comes next.

And then we also have, which isn't lesser importance but often neglected, is the mindfulness and community.

So this is being out in nature.

It's connecting with friends.

It might be going to a group exercise class.

It might be just having coffee.

But that is really, really important for parasympathetic and whole being life.

We like to start the habits early and continue them through.

If you haven't started, it's not too late.

As we're seeing like with Lift More and some other of the older age resources coming out, it's never too late to start.
