My name is Dodie Georgiades, and I’m passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle through deliberate, everyday choices. Topics like nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene fascinate me because they enable us to engage in the activities we love as we age. For me, that’s yoga and ballroom dancing into my 80s; for others, it might be perfecting a golf swing or playing with grandchildren.
There’s a flood of information about wellness, much of it contradictory. While I’m not a doctor or specialist, I’m a regular person trying to sift through it all to make informed decisions that suit me. Importantly, wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s personal. For instance, I dislike beets, even though they’re healthy, while others might happily include them in their diets.
Wellness also evolves. Recommendations, like the outdated food pyramid, have shifted to emphasize vegetables and healthy fats over carbs. Exercise guidelines now recognize that everyday activities, like gardening or playing with grandkids, count as movement. Scientists have even debunked old beliefs about brain growth, showing that our brains can develop later in life thanks to neuroplasticity.
I lean toward evidence-based solutions and emphasize consistency over extremes. Small, sustainable steps, like daily 15-minute walks, are better for long-term health than sporadic, intense efforts. Wellness isn’t just physical; it encompasses mental health, social connections, and having a purpose. True health requires balance, as rigid changes might harm mental well-being.
To share these insights, I’ll release a weekly podcast on Sundays, covering topics like mindful eating, exercise, and stress management in short, 15-minute episodes. Once a month, I’ll host guest speakers to showcase real-life examples of aging well. I aim to make this informative and interactive, encouraging listeners to connect on Facebook with questions, topic suggestions, or interest in being a guest.
Next week’s episode will explore mindful eating, featuring the 5-Minute Chocolate Challenge. I hope you’ll tune in and join the conversation!
