About this episode

Getting older is inevitable, but aging well may be something we can influence. In this episode, host Gurpreet Kaur speaks with Deepshikha Brar, Certified Health Coach, about what really happens to our bodies as we age and how nutrition, exercise and daily habits can shape the aging process. They discuss the changes that often begin after 40, the importance of building and preserving muscle, and why looking slim or young does not always mean we are aging well internally. Brar also explains how stress, sleep, metabolism and lifestyle can affect long-term health, whether "age reversal" is realistic, and the practical steps people in their 40s, 50s and 60s can take to improve their health and quality of life.
