Hi, I’m Linda and I’m delighted to welcome you to Health Reset After 60, a resource to teach you how to reclaim your health and vitality, and add years to your life.

I was born and raised in Australia, am a mum to two wonderful daughters, and grandma to a sweet grand daughter. I’ve just completed my Diploma in Nutrition at university and am also a certified Food and Nutrition coach. I’ll be sharing all I’ve learned, together with my own research, in this blog. My aim is to create a site filled with nutrition, health, and lifestyle information that’s relevant to 60+ women.

I’m also on my own health reset journey after being diagnosed with hypertension by my doctor. At uni we studied a lot of evidence-based research that found dietary and lifestyle changes to be very effective in lowering blood pressure so I’ll be putting all that into practice over the coming  months. If you’re interested in how I go, you can keep track of my progress here.

 

My philosophy on resetting your health after 60 is that even after neglecting it for a number of years, your body has the amazing capability to turn poor health around.

Life gets busy – working, raising families, looking after aging parents –  so it’s easy to put off doing the healthy things we know we should – until we start getting those aches and pains, not feeling so great, lacking in energy, and dealing with a foggy brain. Our blood pressure starts creeping up, as does our blood glucose and cholesterol numbers, our bone density levels aren’t looking great, we have gut issues, inflammation is out of  control, and alarm bells start ringing.

This all seems to start happening in our late 50’s, early 60’s, and we get THE wakeup call that if we don’t start doing something now, we’re looking down the barrel of a chronic disease – type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, some cancers, osteoporosis, and dementia just to name a few.

You may be at that place where you need to take stock of your health and do something serious to turn your health around. A health reset if you will.

If you want to reset your health and:

  • reduce your risk of chronic disease as you age
  • enjoy having more energy and vitality
  • improve mental clarity
  • lower blood pressure
  • lower cholesterol and blood glucose numbers
  • add more healthy years to your life

you’ve arrived at the right place. This blog will provide evidence-based, science-backed nutrition, health, and lifestyle information to educate and empower you to make choices that support optimal health and wellbeing as you age.

Have you received THE wake-up call to start making positive changes to your health? What do you know you need to start doing to reset your health and change its trajectory? What kind of health will you have in 5 years time if you don’t make changes now? Please share your thoughts about this important topic here. Thanks so much for reading and here’s to optimal health as you embrace your 60s and beyond.
