I’m writing this from Florida, where I’ve been spending time with my elderly mother.
I love her dearly. And it’s also challenging.
Those two things aren’t opposites — in fact, I think it’s because of that love that it feels so heavy sometimes.
So today’s Mindset Monday hits a little differently.
Cognitive decline touches nearly all of us in some way as we age — whether directly or through those we love. But here’s something most people don’t consider:
Muscle mass is one of the best defenses we have against cognitive decline.
It’s true. The more muscle you have, the less vulnerable your brain is to the effects of aging.
Muscle isn’t just about looks.
It’s anti-inflammatory.
It’s metabolically protective.
And yes — it’s neuroprotective.
It’s not just about how you look… it’s about how you live, think, and age.
For women navigating perimenopause and beyond, this matters even more — because as estrogen drops, muscle mass does too.
For men, maintaining a strong hormonal profile helps keep our mind and body resilient.
And for all of us?
Muscle loss with age impacts far more than strength or mobility — it impacts the brain.
At 61, I feel this. And I talk about it often with Melissa. We want to make choices now that make aging easier on ourselves — and on our family.
So if you’ve been waiting for a reason to get stronger?
This is it.
Start now. Start simple. Just start.
Your brain will thank you. 💪🏼
