Maddy Dychtwald Author Ageless Aging

Maddy Dychtwald joined us to discuss her book "Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan"

Maddy's book is a standout longevity book:
It was written by women for women. It is not the opinion of one or two women, it is based on interviews with more than 100 recognized experts in their field.

This book is extremely well researched and at the same time very readable. We learn new vocabulary in an easy manner. Published by Mayo Clinic Publishing assures it has been carefully reviewed.

Maddy Dychtwald has a unique advantage because of the network she has built with experts in the research work that Age Wave has done over 40 years.

The book is designed to inspire and prod women to begin taking steps or up their game in the habits they have already built. There are important check lists for the reader.

The book covers a breadth of topics all key to improving healthspan, brainspan and joyspan for women.

Maddy Dychtwald emphasized the importance of lifestyle choices in health, noting that 90% of health outcomes are influenced by lifestyle and environment, not genetics.

Maddy highlighted the significance of financial preparedness, stressing that women often face financial challenges in retirement. Fun fact, because women live longer, they may spend the money they need for their own end of life care caregiving for a loved one.

We also discussed fitness, hormones, nutrition, alcohol, brain health and sex after 70.

Recorded on December 11, 2025, this episode is part of our Longevity as well as our Authors series.
