The Aging Games

The Real Secrets of Super-Agers (Hint: It’s Not What You Think) What if everything we’ve been told about longevity is missing the point? We’re often taught that living a long life is all about clean eating, rigorous exercise, and the perfect supplement stack. And while those things help, they’re not what truly sets super-agers apart—those rare individuals who live well past 100 with strength, clarity, and vitality. Take Maria Branyas Morera , for example. She lived to the age of 117 . But her secret wasn’t found in a lab or a fancy biohack. It was found in how she lived . What I’ve discovered through researching super-agers is this: Their longevity is less about rigid health routines and more about rhythm, mindset, and connection . Here are some of the surprising common threads: Emotional resilience – They don’t let stress define them. They bounce back. Natural light exposure – They spend time outdoors, syncing their biology with the sun. Community and purpose – They...

Menopause Is Not a Disease: Reframing the Midlife Transition For too long, menopause has been framed as something to dread—a slow decline, a list of symptoms, and a signal that a woman’s best years are behind her. But what if we told you that menopause is not the end, and certainly not a disease? What if, instead, it’s a powerful and natural transition that reveals who you truly are underneath all the roles you've played? In a recent conversation between Lucille and Lynn, two women deeply passionate about women’s wellness, the question was asked: Is menopause a wonderful time of transformation, or is it pure hell? And more importantly, what makes the difference? The Cultural Lens Across the globe, women experience menopause very differently. In Western cultures, menopause is often medicalized and pathologized. We are taught to fear it, manage it, and medicate it. Meanwhile, in some Indigenous and Eastern cultures, menopause is seen as a rite of passage—a time of stepping into wisd...

Menopause Is Not the End — It’s a New Beginning For decades, we’ve been told a tired, outdated story about menopause. That it marks the “end” of youth, vitality, and usefulness. That once hormones shift, we somehow fade into the background. But what if the truth is the opposite ? What if menopause is your awakening ? The Hidden Power of Estrogen Decline Let’s be honest—estrogen is amazing. It helps us nurture, connect, and bring life into the world. But it also wires us to prioritize others before ourselves . To keep the peace, say yes when we mean no, and carry the mental, emotional, and physical load of everyone around us. And then… menopause. Estrogen begins to decline—and with it, so does the invisible leash that’s kept so many of us small. Suddenly, we can hear our own voice more clearly. We start to remember what we want. What lights us up. What we’ve been too tired, too busy, or too “responsible” to pursue. This isn’t the end. This is the moment we stop living on autopi...
