About this episode
Lifestyle Shifts Supporting Longevity and Wellbeing
Taking care of your health can feel overwhelming, especially when so many approaches promise big results but don’t last. If you’ve ever wondered why healthy habits are hard to sustain, this episode offers a grounded and realistic perspective.
In this episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, Licensed Therapist and Mom Coach Vanessa De Jesus Guzman is joined by Renee Fitton, a longevity dietitian and Vice President of Growth at L-Nutra, for an honest conversation about lifestyle shifts that support longevity, wellbeing, and mental health - without extreme dieting or pressure.
Renee breaks down what longevity nutrition really means, why living longer isn’t helpful if we don’t feel well along the way, and how small, intentional changes can support physical health, brain health, and emotional wellbeing over time. The conversation includes an introduction to fasting mimicking approaches, including ProLon, while emphasizing safety, muscle protection, and sustainability... especially for women navigating midlife changes.
Vanessa and Renee also explore how mindset, gratitude, and intention-setting shape how we age and how we experience everyday life.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Lifestyle shifts that support longevity and wellbeing
- What longevity nutrition is, and what it isn’t
- How fasting mimicking works and who it may be appropriate for
- Why muscle protection and metabolic health matter as we age
- The connection between mindset, gratitude, and brain health
- Why small, consistent changes matter more than drastic overhauls
This episode is for moms and busy professionals who want to care for their health in a realistic, compassionate way, without adding more pressure to an already full life.
