The Age Story You Tell Yourself

Maeve Sutton

Somewhere along the way, most people pick up a quiet story about what growing older will look like for them, and that story starts doing more work than they realize. This is a look at how those beliefs actually shape the body: the research linking expectations to memory, strength, and recovery, the phrases and habits that quietly reinforce decline, and how to build a more accurate, sturdier story starting now. Grounded, clear-eyed, and genuinely encouraging.
