BEST Anti-Aging Advice for Women Over 40 (Wish I Knew Sooner)

[@kristinwallner2766]

Hey don’t knock Pilates and it has more of a place than you think. I’m 54 and teach it to women over 65 …it works to build strength, flexibility and stability (keeps me from falling) and I teach women to get off the ground. We use every plane of motion. Maybe you did the “fitness Pilates” that has no sense of awareness on how you move. And….if you’re out of shape Pilates will help you perform strength training better because it’s targets the how you move. Pilates helps you walk better..live better ..,breath better have a more balanced nervous system…etc etc

[@ehh227]

People really underestimate Pilates. It is so amazing. Has done wonders for me.

[@olia3333]

I agree, Pilates, yoga , and any form of ballet exercises that would include deep stretching and moving your body in various planes are so important. I feel that now women are being told to lift weights , but forget that real stretching is a must for anti-aging as well. Myself I was doing ballet , and Pilates all my life. Lately i noticed some loss of muscles mass, so I decided to shift focus on lifting weight and resistance training. After one year I noticed more pain in my joints, less range of movements, change in posture - all due to tighter muscles. So now I do resistance training but came back to doing good deep pilates and ballet exercises. I feel back to how I was in my 30s.

Almost all restaurants cut their olive oil with seed oils. Only the most expensive, high end places use 100% quality, single source EVOO. Eating out a lot or getting loads of take out is a disaster.

Even the high end places don't. Not in the 5 star place I worked at anyway. They say it's organic and local but it's not. Pure olive oil is like $35 for a tiny bottle.

[@GoingProWithTarot]

At 68, I'm still very strong, lifting heavy materials, with a physically active lifestyle, not a workout routine. I've always been muscular, not slender, with a wonderful hourglass voluptuous body. I'm stronger, have more endurance, and healthier than most people my age, including men. I'm the energizer bunny! Fortunately for me, besides having some great genes from my dad, who was a pro football player, I've always been active, riding bicycles (across the US and Europe), dancing, forest work (chainsaw), and mostly unprocessed, organic, and natural foods since I was 14 years old. Rarely drink alcohol, no drugs, including aspirin, and never smoking anything. Even more important for me, I take care of my own health with naturopathic and homeopathic remedies (which are quickly being blocked by commercial medical interests) and NEVER go to doctors. I've never owned a scale for weighing this body. Daily stretching and some yoga helps keep this body flexible. I live in the forest, away from most RF, and no cellular EMF toxicity. Overall, I listen to the body, have a peaceful and spiritual life, and work my butt (which is firm and round) off every day....chop wood, carry water. Glad your guest is promoting fat-positive and natural image values!

[@elainec5333]

Exactly! Doctors ask me for advice because I look better and have better functional labs and images than they do. Interesting you mentioned homeopathic remedies. I rarely need them but accidents sometimes occur and these remedies have served me better than any conventional medical treatment ever has. People often forget that there were systems in place prior to today’s medical industrial complex. I’m glad they employ people and I make money off of their stocks but have rarely elected to utilize their offerings. I have no need and have more interesting and fulfilling things to do with my time and attention.

I wish aging didn't scare me so much. I have tried almost everything to look younger + delay aging as much as possible, anything from face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight), home devices and what not. However, nothing made any real difference compared to the high-quality derma pen I purchased for around 100 bucks. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm 18 again, but definitely not 44 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less are nonexist (Never had jowls though). People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin

[@donnapeterson1945]

Oh this video is awesome!!!! I've been in menopause for over 10 years now, However.... been doing resistance training dumbbell workouts every other day and it's changed my life. I cannot be on HRT hormones due to a clotting disorder discovered in my 20's but it is what it is, working out truly helps my mood, boosts my libido and overall mental and body health. I've lost over 30 pounds and definitely have muscle definition now! I actual wear a regular bathing suit now, no more "skorts" and my husband is loving it. I have my wedding weight back after having two kids. My husband is lifting weights/doing body weight exercises as well and looks more fit then in his 20's. We do not plan on retiring, both work from home which believe me, we WORK, but do have the luxury to work out when we want. No excuses. We walk after breakfast or some other meals when we can - we have a boxer dog - he loves any form of exercise! Even on vacation we get some fun exercise in. I do not like sitting around like a lump - it's boring. I've been overweight before and it's not fun - I will not do that again. I hope to go into older age as healthy as possible.

[@fmss6694]

I’m 45 and I have a 6 and 5 year old. I also work as an ER nurse and I’m more fit than my 30 year old counter parts. I really hate working out persay. Never liked the gym but I stay active. I also cook at home and just eat regular foods. Btw, everyone tells me I look 30 or even in my 20’s. I get this daily. They are always shocked when I say I’m 45. I also used to live in nyc where I walked everywhere.

[@donnapeterson1945]

You're doing the right thing and do not stop - I see often younger people destroying their beautiful bodies that they have. In my 20's I was overweight for about 5 years until I wised up, lost weight before turning 30 and never looked back. I'm now 56 and doing dumb bell work outs every other day - yoga and pilates occasionally, and walking my boxer dog 2-3 times a day. I work from home so this is possible. I eat clean all week and one day a week my husband and I eat out and have a "fun" meal but then it's back to clean eating for the week. This has worked for us for years. You can do it.

In Ayurveda, there's a saying of "eating until the first burp." If we're eating slowly and mindfully and not shovelling food into our mouths in front of the TV or on our phones, our body will tell us when it's had enough. Becoming aware of when we have that 'first burp' and then either stopping eating then, or having another couple of mouthfuls (and then our body will give us a second burp) is the easiest way I've found to make sure I'm not overeating. Some days it won't happen until I get to the end of the plate, other days it will happen half way through. We need to start tuning into our bodies and paying attention to what it's telling us because we're all individuals and nobody's body is exactly the same as anybody else's. Trusting ourselves and our bodies rather than religiously or fanatically following what someone else is telling us (perhaps using their ideas as guidance) is the only way to really live our best lives.

[@Uilani-g4m]

Over-eating has everything to do with what you are eating. If you eat the proper human food(animals) your saitiated signal will turn on and say enough. You cannot physically overeat once your body is fully noursihed. When I was vegetarian/vegan I was always hunger. Never ever saitiated. Ate all day and felt awful. It wasn't until I started eating animal foods/fats did I feel saitiated. I can eat one meal a day and not feel hungry until the next day. I don't think about food constantly the way I did eating only plant stuff.

12 hour fast IS fasting. I finish eating my dinner at 8.30 at night and wake up at 6.30 so if I didn't make the effort to wait until I get to work and eat then at 9/9.30 I would only have 10 hour fasting time. Saying it's not fasting is just demotivating. I never eat anything after dinner and wait 2 hours before I eat in the morning. For me that's not easy! 😊

[@beardumaw24]

8:30 finishing dinner ? Wow that's late, to late. You should always finish dinner 3-4 hours before bedtime. I eat breakfast about 8-9 am and dinner around 3-5 two large meals a day. Fasting roughly 14-16 hours a day. Works great for me!

[@LSS495]

I had to smile as I listened to your discussion. You ladies are sweet and well-intentioned, but wait until YOU are in your sixties after having spent most of your life in high stress jobs, maintaining homes and families, going through divorces, experiencing family deaths and the impact of them, and/or taking care of other people (including parents). It’s a whole different world. You WILL morph into a completely different person physiologically and mentally. I also looked great at your age, and thought I would never look or feel like most “older women.” That was so untrue. At a certain age, no matter what you do, your tiny waists, flat abs, and slim arms will be traits of the past. I was always a gym rat (doing resistance training together with aerobic classes) and/or a dancer, but it DIDN’T MATTER. As you age, you start encountering sleep difficulties because your hormones are naturally out of balance. However, going on HRT involves risk - many doctors won’t prescribe it at all OR will require women to sign disclaimers so you can’t sue them if you develop cancer. The imbalance further spikes cortisol levels, and you develop insulin resistance. Weight gain and fatigue naturally follow. You are too tired to get through your day, let alone lift weights. To summarize - you ladies mean well, but have no first person knowledge of the impact of aging - yet. So, although your conversation is interesting and you make some valid points, it doesn’t have a basis in certain hard core realities that are common to all.

For example, I do not like eating breakfast in the morning, I prefer to start with lunch (I typically just do 2 meals a da)I barely have a snack, unless it’s olives or walnuts of blueberries. So in the end, I’ve decided to stop being overwhelmed, and as JJ said, try one thing, regardless of which advice I hear on the show and see how it makes me feel and what results I get. Maybe a topic for a show could be the best way to deal with so much info in a healthy way. Thank you

[@lindacurtis7267]

I agree, sooo much information. So much of it conflicting, I ‘m going to try and listen to my intuition, it’s hard though. Walking is the best exercise, no walking isn’t enough, same with yoga. How much protein do we really need since we’re being told we don’t eat enough. 🤦🏼

[@brigitteschultheiss5777]

What about embracing life till the end. We old want to stay on earth for ever... Our body needs love, movement and laughter. No need to get fat after 50 if you enjoy being here. It's an adventure, there is so much out there to learn about. Love yourself and communicate with your body that supports you all your life. Love your family, keep good friends, have compassion, be grateful and caring not only for others but for yourself . And it's never to late to fall in love again. Be the person you were when you were a child. Be like this child...

[@claravanrooyen4131]

Thankyou Since I were young I tried to keep young and all the time on the way to get healthy . Bacterial and virus infections and conditions that heal over time . I got rid of most of that caused trouble but still try to reach optimum health but did not specific setback for gaining weight , cholesterol , high blood pressure and all that happens with aging and menopause Still try olive oil in the morning to stay healthy . Until 30''s about skin health after that bone health specific and other health symptoms about aging

I just want to look my best at any age. I accept whatever comes with aging like grey hair wrinkles brown spots and thicker waist. I do what I can like dressing for my body, exercise, socializing, and eating home cooked meals. I have learned to apply makeup, taken on new sports and interests.

[@Kelle-Michelle]

Love this actitudes. I feel the same

[@soulyhealth]

I absolutely love this conversation. I’m so over the anti aging bandwagon. It upsets me to see young women destroying their naturally beautiful body with cosmetic procedures. I’d love all women to embrace natural beauty and put the focus on becoming the strongest fittest version of ourselves. I’m nearly 50 and been on this journey for years and every year I still age but I feel so much better physically and mentally and every year feel more healthier and happier. This is living my best life 🙏

[@gracewygal1423]

Great informative video! I love the analogy- where do you want to be physically in your 80’s 90’s etc. So true on getting full on a salad no room for the protein.

I am 57. 5'9" and 130lbs. with runner build. Lost about 50lbs since Oct 2023. I walk 5 miles a day, 7 on weekends. I am not breaking records but do break a sweat. I love how invigorating and the mental lift. Been lifting for a couple months. Been shocked at loss of strength. Could see loss of muscle tone in mirror. I have a well defined waist but not completely flat, but not big tummy and no saddlebags. I want to maintain my health, keep my cognitive ability, maintain mobility and stay out of nursing home. I also want more muscle mass so i don't look like frail old woman. Not aiming for perfection but the best for me. Not as concerned about scale but body composition. Also been super inspired by women over 50 that are still ALIVE.

Not all nursing homes or retirement homes are bad. So be healthy however stop worrying about nursing homes.

@@juliecastro9021 ??? not worried about it but being proactive to stay healthy. i want to live and not just exist. being decrepit is mostly a choice of decisions we make daily. i used to deliver pharmaceuticals to nursing homes. many are excellent care facilities but most residents would prefer to be in their own homes.

[@juliecastro9021]

Of course take care of yourself. However, it’s not worth worrying about being in a nursing home NOW! Most people prefer to be in their home of course as they age! .

[@AR-mu4zq]

Your loosing strength because that is too much walking. I walked that much every day, was probably underfed in my 20s when I had no car. I looked and fealt worse. And weaker. There is a balance no matter the age.

[@lilymcnabb6621]

@@AR-mu4zq I do carnivore, beef, bacon, butter, eggs and cheese. Definitely not under fed. Main reason i love carnivore is you aren't starving yourself. I don't even consider the walking exercise. I have a desk job so the walking just offsets the hours sitting. I am steadily increasing weights while focusing on full range of motion. I feel stronger too.

Scale weights taken in an office are important for prescribing medications. The "weight" is needed to calculate drugs, fluids, etc. Therefore, an accurate body weight needs to be done. As you mentioned, muscle weighs more than fat & you can not guess. However, it would be amazing if every office had one of those machines that tell you muscle mass, fat, water, etc.

[@EighthHousePiscesSun]

Just have to clear up the incorrect representation of Pilates: In a Pilates class, you will never do 100 (or even 11) repetitions of a movement, with or without weights. Pilates values quality over quantity- in a beginner-level class, you might perform 10 repetitions of a single movement, but as you progress, you should be reducing the number of repetitions to 8, then 5, then maybe 3. The idea is that, as you develop more body-awareness and strength, you perform fewer repetitions of each movement with more efficiency which means that you get more out of each repetition. What you WILL add more of is variety of movements and the complexity of those movements. I am 42 and have been doing Pilates for 14 years and teaching it to others for 12 years. I get told I’m “shredded”. 😂

Glucose Godness (Jessie Inchauspe) suggests eating vegetables first. She claims that veggie starters reduce the glucose spike off the meal that follows them, then protein. The objective is for the veggie starter to make up about 30% of the meal.

[@Cass-gi4kk]

I do this but everyone reacts differently to glucose spikes and her experiment is her body only.

[@Creating2413]

​@@Cass-gi4kk I think you have to see what you are leaning towards. If it is easy for you to add protein and difficult to add veggies, it's probably better to start with veggies so you don't leave them out especially the cruciferous ones. If it is easy for you to eat veggies, and you often forget about the protein it is probably better to do the reverse such as eat protein first and then veggies. Another trick is to have one pot meals or omelets that give you everything at once so you don't have to choose. There are really tasty ideas such having a pesto, tomato broccoli omelet. Or a ground beef lasagna and instead of pasta use zucchini. This is so good.

[@Cass-gi4kk]

@@Creating2413 that’s why I eat the veggies first. I never start my day with starches. Veggies and proteins always first so I know I got proteins and antioxidants to start the day. It’s a good advice actually I think considering what people usually eat for breakfast.

[@Creating2413]

@@Cass-gi4kk yeah definitely. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking. I know people who think a bag of doritos is breakfast. 😳. Very sad. I can't do high starch at all. I need healthy fat, protein and low starch veggies. Sometimes I add low sugar fruits but very small quantities like berries, lemon and lime. I think starting with veggies and then adding protein or starting with protein or adding veggies is good depending on what works for the individual.

I’m getting so turned off by everybody saying that women think they’re going to get big if they lift weights. Maybe back in the day people thought that, nobody thinks that anymore. And everybody wishes they could get cuts but know that it’s hard. So I wish people would just stop saying that women think they’re going to get bulky when they lift. No one thinks that anymore.

[@sunwrey]

I can say first hand that I get upper body bulkiness because I have more upper body muscle that doesn’t need much before I get results. If I’m already overweight I look very husky due to my broad shoulders and muscular arms. I also have more of an athletic build. I think it really depends on the body type of the person.

[@sunwrey]

I tend to lift heavier for lower body and just try to lift more lightly on upper body because I quickly gain muscle on top of

Food for thought…literally: did you know that during Ramadan, when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, they break their fast with a date. Almost ALWAYS. It’s a religious and cultural tradition. I had always wondered why but no one ever had a scientific answer until now. The answer from those of wisdom was always something generalized such as “because it’s beneficial” therefore, I’m particularly grateful for this bit of information regarding Allulose . It’s been poking at me from the corner of my brain for decades.

Big question, JJ is always talking about non starchy vegetables. And yes, I understand, starchy = carbs. Me myself I eat clean too (proteine/veggies/good fats), so no carbs, except sometimes I throw in some kind of beans which I looove eating (and filling !). This due to dr. William Li. He is a big fan of beans, lentils, chick peas. Up to him it helps feed the good gut bacteria and when eating regularly, it even helps with loosing visceral fat. What is your opinion ? Thank you 😊

[@YogawithAliBeale]

You've got to do what feels good to you and your body will tell you. That wouldn't work for my body but it does for you. I'm keto carnivore and have a super sensitive system so I'd be a mess. But it sounds like you can feel intuitively what your body thrives on just prioritize your protein.

I have fibromyalgia and I used 4 to 5 kg weights when using weights on each hand using only one weight , I would use 10 to 12 kilos . I did build some muscle .

Everyone is different. I DO get big from lifting heavy weights and I do NoT like it. And I look incredible with Pilates and ballet classes. Look at the ballerinas: they DO build lean muscle and live long and healthy life. Another note: I’m 43 and I look 10 years younger and feel energetic. I do not drink alcohol and my diet is very clean. But once again: I might be an exception.

[@Divchyk]

💯 agree with the importance of protein intake, especially for women over 35. The trick is what kind of protein. If one starts loading on ribs with BBQ sauce or any other meat with gravy and salad dressings, it's not it. We're talking about cleaning protein and reduction (complete removal is better, but impossible for most) of sugar and starchy foods (bred, pasta, cereals, rice). When we hear about correlation of protein and cancer, it's not about protein itself. The development of cancer and other issues in human body has to do with combination of protein, starch and sugars.
