It’s time to rethink what your wellbeing means to you at middle age.

Rethinking Wellbeing

Forget everything you did to maintain a healthy lifestyle up until now, Mid-life is a whole different ball game . . .right? I think. Maybe? I’m not sure anymore.

To lose belly fat, don’t do cardio, lift weights. But get in a lot of steps. Wait, isn’t that cardio? Forget fad diets. Eat more. Eat less. Eat more protein. Make sure not too much of your protein intake comes from animal sources. Take care of your gut or you’ll have all sorts of other health problems. Sleep more. But, be aware your sleep cycles will be interrupted. Track every aspect of your health. No, don’t spend too much time on that. You need to sleep more. Pay attention to your circadian rhythms. Not too much attention. Efficiency is important. Don’t rush. Self-care and rest are critical. Cold plunges will provide wonderful relief for hot flashes. They can also give you a heart attack.

Feeling confused? How’s one supposed to sort through all the conflicting health-related “advice” swirling around and flying at us at warp speed? And, how do we know whose advice to take and whose to leave?

Follow my series at RestlessUrban as I navigate these questions and attempt to find some answers before I lose my marbles.

Thanks for joining me on the journey.
