Live Long and Master Aging Mind–Body Training for Longevity | Shebah Carfagna & Nate Wilkins
Mind–body training is widely recognized as a pillar of healthy aging. Research suggests that how we move — and how we think while we move — are deeply connected. When breath, focus and technique align, we sharpen cognition, reduce stress and build the kind of resilience that keeps us active for life.
In this episode of Move for Life, fitness coaches Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna explore why the mind–body connection is more than a trend — it’s a practical framework for living longer and living well. From tai chi and yoga to strength training or a simple daily walk, they highlight the unifying theme of intentionality: paying attention to what the body is doing and why.
Even small rituals — stepping outside for a dose of “ecotherapy,” or taking a mindful decision-making walk — can transform everyday movement into powerful brain-training moments. Studies now show that moderate physical activity can ease anxiety and depression as effectively as some medications.
It’s a compelling reminder that exercise isn’t just for the body — it’s one of the most potent tools we have for lifelong mental well-being.
This is the latest in our 20-part series, Move for Life.
You should consult a doctor or qualified fitness professional before beginning a new exercise program, especially if you have an existing health concerns or limited mobility.
