Women live on average 6 years longer than men. However, the average woman can spend up to 12 to 14 years in poor health. Research further shows that women in retirement spend, on average, about $194,000 more than men on healthcare above and beyond Medicare.

My guest, Maddy Dychtwald, is the co-founder of Age Wave, the world's leader in understanding and addressing the far-reaching impacts of our aging population. For close to 40 years, Maddy has been involved in thought leadership on aging, longevity, and retirement.

She highlights the importance of a holistic approach to health, including exercise, diet, sleep, and stress management. Additionally, she demonstrates how having a sense of purpose and a positive attitude about aging can add years to one's lifespan.

Maddy also emphasizes the benefits of reducing your toxic body burden, including heavy metals, through intermittent fasting and an anti-inflammatory diet for aging women.
