I realized something the other day- I am coming up on one full year of this podcast- I have talked about habits, health, nutrition, stress, digestion, gratitude, listening to your body, and the chakra system- and 48 other topics, yet I have never talked about the topic that I not only reference in the title of this podcast- but reference a lot throughout the episodes themselves- and that is “Lifestyle Medicine” –Lifestyle medicine is the foundation of this podcast- AND I have never stopped or thought about defining it for you.

So that is what I am going to do today.

I’m not going to talk about it in a scientific way and definitely not a trendy way- When I say LSM – what I really mean is going back to the basics. The kind of Basic people lived by long before we had supplements, diets, drugs and protocols- the basics- when our ancestors choices, and daily life itself supported their health.

Lifestyle medicine is NOT a pill, not a prescription, it’s not a program,it’s not complicated , extreme, or expensive and it’s not just a series of routines you need to perfect.

Lifestyle medicine is the understanding that how YOU live- shapes how you feel, and ultimately , how healthy you are.

It IS a balanced lifestyle- It is the idea that YOUR Daily choices- small, repeated-sometimes boring- or time consuming- shape your health overtime. It’s Not “someday” that it shapes it- it shapes your health every day!

Having a balanced lifestyle regiment is a whole heck of a lot harder to follow than just getting a prescription and taking a pill- AND it requires personal responsibility to maintain- BUT it is far more effective!

Lifestyle medicine IS preventive, NOT reactive. It’s not about waiting for something to break and then fixing it. It’s about supporting your body before dysfunction becomes disease.

I want the Aging Mask Podcast to feel modern, accessible and lived- not so academic and technical.

The six pillars of health- sleep, movement, nutrition, meditation, emotions and self care- are the foundation of LSM. Without them, there is nothing solid for us to build on.

Everything I talk about on this podcast, every topic and every conversation-rests on these pillars

I want to help you build a strong and steady foundation so whatever you add on top of it actually lasts!

What I really want to do as this podcast moves into its second year- is to bring back lifestyle medicine- the daily basics.

Everything that I have talked about thus far falls under this umbrella. I truly believe that if you are a breathing, upright human, EVERY Choice you make matters.

Everything you DO, everything you SAY, and even everything you consume- physically ,emotionally & mentally is lifestyle medicine. It all counts. From how you eat, to how you sleep, to how you speak to people- all the way down to something as simple as what shoes you choose to wear on your feet- it’s all lifestyle medicine.

So as much as I want to bring us back to the basics, I also want you to know this- I am here to teach you what I have learned, and I’m here to keep learning right along side you.

My going into 2026 mantra is:

If I want to learn something -I need to read about it.

If I want to understand something -I need to write about it

And If I want to master something- I need to teach it.

That’s what this podcast- THE AGING MASK- is for me- a place to study, understand, and to share, so we can all live a little better, a little more aware, and a little more connected.

This is lifestyle medicine- learning, living and growing together. We are not here to be perfect, we are here to be aware

Enjoy!
