In today\'s upbeat and eye-opening episode, We\\u2019re taking a candid look at the "Peter Pan Syndrome," that tendency we have to cling to youth in ways that actually make our health choices anything but youthful. I\'ll take you back to when I was 22, equating fun with a whole lot of unhealthy habits, and lay bare the biases and misconceptions we often have about what being young, \'edgy,\' or \'fun\' really means.

I\'ll also dig into the hidden narratives in food marketing\\u2014ever notice how processed, unhealthy options get billed as \'party foods,\' while anything healthy gets tagged as \'boring\' or \'old\'? Through stories like a client of mine who was scared of losing her connection with her boyfriend by eating healthier, I\'ll unfold the irrational ties we make between overeating, overdrinking, and this idea of defying aging.

But here\'s the real meat of today\'s talk\\u2014it\'s all about empowerment and self-realization. I\'m inviting you to take a hard look at how you want to think about eating well and caring for your body. Let\'s break free from those narratives that aren\'t doing us any favors and redefine what fun and youthfulness really mean\\u2014in terms of energy, vitality, and feeling amazing.

In this episode, I aim for you to realize that taking control of your health isn\'t about resigning to getting old; it\'s about truly living. It\'s about embracing every age with wisdom and celebrating each stage of life with a joy and fulfillment that\'s genuinely ageless.
