This book covered a wide variety of topics and while most of the information wasn't new to me, I appreciated that it catered to women specifically. Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review - pub day is 5/14/24!

Super comprehensive including some more leading edge options to consider. The checklist at the end was helpful.

This was a great read that I would recommend to any woman at any age. It covered ageism, the far reaching effects that our thoughts and feelings affect us, the importance of finding purpose, and do much more.

It was full of practical ideas, recommendations, information, and practices to help women live their best lives, and longer lives, and written conversationally but with solid research to back up her findings. She covers a wide range of subject matter and sprinkles in her own lived experiences in a very relatable way.

I’m very grateful to have this book as a tool in my toolbox much like I loved having “Taking Charge of Your Fertility” by Toni Weschler when I was having children. I hope you read and share it with women you know.

Continuing my educational journey on attaining and maintaining good health in 2024 and beyond, "Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan" offered a plethora of healthcare advice for women that was a true winner for me.

I am deeply appreciative that the advice offered within these pages is focussed solely on women. Men and women age differently and have differing health issues that arise when aging, so it was nice to be privy to advice that was not generalized. As we age, we go through many changes which are out of our control, and it is reassuring to be able to refer to a book that is specific to our needs. Being aware and taking action as early as possible can help us tackle our aging process as deftly as possible.

In summary: this is a well-rounded read worth a place in any woman's library.

Thank you to Maddy Dychtwald and Kate Hanley for an ARC of this well written book which is anticipated to be published on May 14, 2024.

I enjoyed this book, it had good no-nonsense advice for living a healthy lifestyle to make the most of your years. There were a few red flags, mostly the mention of Dr Huberman and "leaky gut"... Dr Huberman is espousing very controversial medicine while also pitching his own supplements while leaky gut is a thing naturopaths mention that isn't actually a thing unless you have IBS and so those threw me off a little. Other than that, it was solid advice and I like that she talks about finances, health and your social wellness.

Longevity is all the rage lately, and this book is a great starter course. Women and men are NOT the same, and should not be treated as such. We need to walk our own path. This book provides plenty of information and guidance for that journey. There’s more to health than simply “eat right and exercise.” If you want to learn more about how to get healthy and stay that way as you age, definitely check out Ageless Aging.

Very detailed book about aging gracefully. Some of the things mentioned like food and exercise was something I already knew but social connection is something the book made me realize it was more important.

If you are a woman, you need to read this book. Your life could (literally) depend on it. Ageless Aging is packed with information, ideas, practices, and recommendations to help you live a longer life well. Written in an engaging and often entertaining style, with research to back it up, this book will not just inspire you but give you the tools and information to make real changes so that your later years are some of your healthiest and happiest. I can't recommend this book enough. I'm grateful to Net Galley and the book publisher for the opportunity to read this book early. It was life-affirming and life-changing.

This book contains many helpful strategies for women to boost healthy aging holistically. I liked the full-person perspective and plan to add some must-dos to my daily life.

Ageless Aging contains a wealth of information, including inspiring stories and high profile examples of women of age living their best lives. Building your wisdom, the positivity effect, and the importance of having friends and coworkers of all ages really ring true for me! I’m looking forward to charting my own path and plan to put the ageless aging recipe to work while pulling in my partner to talk about all this too. . I’ve been wondering lately what this next stage of our life looks like … what do I want it to look like, what do we want it to look like? This book has steps to help us start a conversation and formulate the answers.

This was a useful read, probably life changing if you put your everything into doing the work. Some of these things I knew, others I didn't. What I liked about it is that it gave me the feeling that I really want to do something to change my way of doing things in order to be more serene in my old age.

I enjoyed reading Maddy Dychtwald and Kate Hanley's book, Ageless Aging. They provide a solid and comprehensive framework for addressing social, physical, and emotional aging. Although most of the material was information I was already aware of through other resources, I did find the action plan at the end of the book especially useful. This action plan was broken down by chapter and provided specific steps that could be taken to address each area of aging. The action plan allowed me to prioritize my efforts and key in on the aspects that are most meaningful to me. #NetGalley

This was a motivating, inspiration read. I appreciated the comprehensive, one-stop book that covers everything regarding a woman’s experience with aging. I appreciate that the author made sure to target everything to women specifically since so much of modern medicine is based on men - a man’s experience, most effective dosage based on studying men, etc.

The author covers a wide variety of topics from exercise to nutrition to mindfulness and the power of maintaining positivity. While she is just one woman, she also shares her own powerful story and is someone who walks the walk as opposed to just talking the talk.

This book is a great, judgement-free way to gain perspective on some the actionable things you can do to support your own aging process, as well as talking points for future research to expand on the topics.

The electronic version of this book is very difficult to read. As far as the information goes, it’s not anything new. For a better book on the same subject, I’d suggest Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.

I wanted to read this because I am in my mid thirties and the conversation around menopause, changes in hormone levels affecting mood and metabolism has been a topic among most of my friends and I loved the approach the author took with this book. It starts out from a personal experience and grows into research, on what's available currently for women in the context of her research, inquiries and also shared information and I could relate to most of what she shared. I do wish that there was a lot more on black women in this and more so with a focus on Africa, that could truly highlight some of the sociocultural factors linked to aging and nutrition. Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
