Turns out, tech isn’t just for the younger crowd.

More and more active adults are using apps to support a healthy lifestyle — from finding easy recipes to building movement into their day.

And it makes sense — the right tools can make habits easier to build and stick with.

Whether you use an app to track your sleep, log your strength training, or just get inspired in the kitchen… keep going. You’re investing in the one thing that matters most: your well-being.

What’s your go-to app right now?

Some days the to-do list isn’t about errands or appointments.

It’s about the little shifts that help us show up stronger — in our mindset, our energy, and how we carry ourselves through the day.

Smile, even if no one’s watching.
Think something positive, even if the world feels heavy.
Be grateful, even if things aren’t perfect.

These small choices don’t just lift your spirit — they strengthen it.

Try These Healthy Cooking Swaps
You can cook healthy meals at home, and it helps to try healthy swaps like these. See how you like cooking with them and then how your family & friends enjoy the results.

Heck, you could even incorporate a few moving into your holiday planning. You might even start preferring some of these to the “normal” ingredients.

These are so tasty no one will notice. And so healthy, you wonder why you didn’t start earlier.

Use olive oil instead of butter for a healthier fat when sautéing or roasting.
Substitute zucchini noodles for pasta. You’ll be serving fewer carbs, fewer calories, and more veggies.
Instead of traditional stuffing, try quinoa. It’s a whole grain that adds protein and nutrients.
Try vegetable broth for gravy, and add sautéed onions, mushrooms, and garlic for flavor.
Fresh fruit is a delightful, natural sub for sugary desserts.
Drop the salt. Season food with herbs, spices, and citrus zest instead.
Almond flour instead of refined white flour – for flavor and nutritional punch.
Choose dark chocolate over milk chocolate for less sugar and more antioxidants.
Coconut milk in place of heavy cream is dairy free and lower in saturated fat.
Avocado in dips and spreads, not mayo. It brings less saturated fat and more heart-healthy monounsaturated fats to the table.

Let us know what you think and share your own healthy tips.

We love eggs — but they’re not the only great source of protein out there.

If you’re looking to mix things up or want a few easy swaps, here are some high-protein powerhouses that might surprise you:

→ Chickpeas: 8g per half-cup
→ Quinoa: 8.5g per cup
→ Cottage cheese: 12g per half-cup
→ Shrimp: 17g per 4 oz

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s progress.
And progress gets easier when we have options that actually work for real life.

What’s your go-to protein lately?

It’s never too late to start your next chapter.

This is your story.
And you get to decide where it goes from here.

It’s Cheaper to be Healthy Than Sick

Want to save $1,000 a year?

A lot of people could if they would just cut sodas out of their budgets.

And it’s just one example that proves being cheap about your health is way more expensive than following healthy habits around diet and exercise.

That’s from health coach Kathryn Eyring. And we hear similar complaints about fitness all the time.

People tell us they can’t afford to exercise. We’re not even sure what that means, since exercise doesn’t actually cost anything, and there are options for everyone.

We also notice a lot of those folks spending:

$5 a day on a Starbucks drink
Hundreds of dollars eating out and drinking
And who knows how much on Netflix and all the other subscription TV services that no one thinks twice about these days.

Unhealthy habits lead to untold financial costs – doctor visits, sick days, missed opportunities, prescription medications, new clothes, etc.

But a healthy diet and regular exercise pay off their investment countless times over. Kathryn points out that muscle mass lowers sugar levels; that exercise reduces costs of cardiovascular disease, heart disease, and obesity; and it improves bone health and balance.

So, please think about what’s at the root of the “I can’t afford it” excuse before you pour your next soda while sitting in front of the tube.

We think you’re worth it.

No. We know it.

Pumpkin season isn’t just about lattes and porch décor.

Pumpkin is actually a powerhouse food — loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. It’s low in calories but rich in the kind of nourishment that supports healthy aging from the inside out.

Roast it. Puree it. Add it to soups or oats. However you enjoy it, just know this fall favorite pulls more than its weight when it comes to your health.

Put ‘em up. It’s not over yet.

This is your reminder that age doesn’t mean slowing down — it means showing up.

Whether you’re just starting out or coming back after a break, there’s always a next step. And we’re right here with you.

Because your story’s not over. It’s just getting stronger.
