We’ve been conditioned to fear aging—to see wrinkles as something to fight, signs of time as something to erase, and youth as the ultimate ideal. But what if everything we’ve been taught about aging is misguided? In this powerful episode of Body Peace Podcast, hosts Jennie Kramer and Nina Manolson explore the deeply ingrained beliefs that make us resist aging rather than embrace it.
They dive into the $80 billion anti-aging industry, the glorification of youth in the media, and the relentless pressure to look younger at any cost. But beyond the surface, they uncover something even more important—how a pro-aging mindset doesn’t just change how we feel about our bodies, but can actually add years to our lives.
Key Highlights
How the $80 billion anti-aging industry fuels fear and insecurity about growing older
The hidden toll of weight cycling and why body size isn’t the key to longevity
The role of social media in shaping our perception of aging and beauty
How chosen community and connection impact how we experience aging
With personal reflections and clinical insights, this episode offers a new way of thinking about aging—not as something to resist, but as an evolution to embrace. Tune in to the full conversation and explore more episodes at Body Peace Podcast.
