611: How to Live Longer, Healthier & Happier After 50 with Dwayne J. Clark
Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
Interpreting Trauma with Resilience
Dwayne draws lessons from elders on choosing positive interpretations of trauma and how mindset affects longevity.
What if aging didn't have to mean slowing down or fading out—but instead became the most vibrant and meaningful chapter of your life? Too many people see 50 and beyond as a slow decline, but the truth is, the way you think, move, and care for your body can completely redefine how you experience your later years.
Today, I'm joined by my friend and co-author of The Miracle Morning After 50: A Proven Path to Joy, Vitality, and Purpose for Aging Adults, Dwayne J. Clark. Dwayne is the CEO of Aegis Living and a longevity expert who's spent 40 years studying the daily habits and mindset of over 80,000 people—many who've lived well into their 90s and beyond.
In our conversation, Dwayne shares the powerful lessons he's learned from interviewing dozens of centenarians, how inflammation is a significant factor of aging, and why longevity is as much about attitude and perspective as it is about science.
We also explore how to adapt your Miracle Morning practices to thrive after 50. We talked about how movement, meditation, and mindset can dramatically improve your overall wealth and wellbeing and simple habits to ensure your best years are ahead of you, not in the rearview.
