It seems like everywhere we turn, there's another wellness trend promising to help us look younger, feel better, live longer or optimize our health. Full-body scans, peptides, weighted vests, skin treatments, supplements, hormone therapy—the list is endless!
But how do we decide what's actually worth doing?
In this episode of Meet Your Body, physical therapist and women's health expert Jessica Valant shares the aging and wellness trends she's currently embracing, the ones she's choosing to skip and the personal reasons behind those decisions.
At 48, with a history of breast cancer, endometriosis, multiple surgeries and changing hormones, Jessica has learned that more testing, more treatments and more wellness strategies aren't always the answer.
Jessica also explains two important things: Just because she's choosing not to do something doesn't mean it isn't beneficial for someone else. And just because she's skipping it today doesn't mean she won't reconsider in the future.
This isn't about finding the perfect anti-aging routine or convincing everyone to make the same choices. It's about learning to evaluate health trends through the lens of your own body, medical history, goals and quality of life.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by everything you're supposedly supposed to be doing to age well, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to do it all.
