Find Your Journey Back to Healthy Living In Retirement
Episode Description
Do you ever feel like retirement has left you running on empty—weary, confused, heavier than you’d like, and wondering if this is just what “getting older” feels like? Think again.
In this high-energy episode, I sit down with the dynamic Dr. Danielle Zanzarov—known as Dr. Dee—who reveals the real secret to unlocking energy, vitality, and purpose in your next chapter. She pulls back the curtain on why traditional medicine often keeps women stuck treating symptoms instead of solving the root cause—and how listening to your body’s signals can completely transform how you feel.
You’ll discover:
✨ Why fatigue and weight gain are not just part of aging
✨ The hidden messages your body sends when it’s out of balance
✨ Simple, science-backed shifts that reignite your energy and confidence
This isn’t about settling for less—it’s about stepping boldly into a lifestyle where you feel vibrant, powerful, and fully alive. Retirement is your chance to rewrite the rules, and your health is the foundation for everything you dream of doing next.
If you’re ready to shatter the myths of aging and claim the energy and freedom you deserve, this conversation is your wake-up call. Don’t miss a minute—you’ll walk away inspired, empowered, and ready to live your best years now.
AFFIRMATION of the MONTH:
“I am a source of inspiration and guidance for those around me, and my presence is cherished”.
