"A few years ago, as I was finishing writing my book, "Live Longer with AI," and starting hormone replacement therapy for menopause, I decided to enact some lifestyle changes aimed at improving my longevity. I learned how to DJ, to keep me in the groove while recovering from foot surgery, and I also started practicing a low-key form of intermittent fasting. Now I enjoy more all-night dance parties than I did before surgery!"
"I start the day with tea and coffee, plus news My morning ritual usually starts with a cup of Earl Grey tea followed by a proper oat milk latte. I like to turn on BBC Radio 4 and listen to what's happening in the world while I'm caffeinating. Even though a lot of what we hear every day is bad news, I think it's important to feel connected to what is reverberating around the world and tap into the zeitgeist."
"Most people in my circle have a house cleaner, but I consider housecleaning an integral part of my morning, and I usually do a bit right after the coffee hits. I have a schedule for which rooms get cleaned every day, with special emphasis on high-use areas like the bathrooms and the kitchen. I enjoy it, the physicality of polishing a window or scrubbing something"
A 61-year-old CEO balances unconventional, joy-centered longevity practices with daily anchors. She began hormone replacement therapy and adopted intermittent fasting and learning to DJ to aid recovery and maintain vitality. Nighttime dancing provides emotional rewards and creative energy, while morning rituals—Earl Grey tea, oat-milk latte, and news via BBC Radio 4—establish connection to current events. Daily housecleaning functions as physical exercise and reflective time, with a room-by-room schedule emphasizing bathrooms and kitchen. She prioritizes small habitual behaviors that anchor her day, combining pleasure-driven activities and consistent routines to support longevity, resilience, and productivity.
