From the Founder, July 2016
I just celebrated my birthday, which naturally makes me think about the big picture, how I’m living my life, my health, and what the rest of life will be like.
We are so blessed to have access to cutting-edge healthcare and the best health and wellness practitioners and knowledge. Much of our business is working with brands and individuals who are breaking new ground in health and I’m personally inspired by these people/brands and their missions.
A few aging-specific references to check out…
I heard Joon Yun speak recently at an event and was inspired and excited by his work. He is pushing the boundaries of longevity and health.

One of our longtime clients and a dear friend, Shel Pink, founded the slow beauty movement, focused on embracing the aging process and aging gracefully. Her ideas and practices have inspired me to think differently about how I live and the importance of slowing down.

I saw a video recently about the world’s oldest bodybuilder, Ernestine Shepherd. She’s 80! I hope my training with Junior has a similar effect!

Meanwhile, I’m writing this blog from Paris and must say that French women seem to know something about aging well. Hopefully the rosé, fromage and pain au chocolat have something to do with it because I’m taking that approach!

Happy summer!
