I just turned 48!
I spent my actual birthday in Arizona with my aunt and uncle—and the kids—and I’ll be honest, I felt a little blue.
I love birthdays, and I’m deeply grateful every time that number climbs higher. But this year, I found myself in a season of transition—family, work, my body—and change can be hard.
Still, it didn’t take long to shift my focus. When I started looking at everything that is right in my world, the blues lifted. The truth is, I am one lucky lady. I feel happier and healthier than I did a decade ago, and more in tune than ever with the rhythms my body needs as I age.
So, I thought I’d share what’s really working for me right now—simple things that are helping me feel strong, peaceful, and connected. I hope something here encourages you too, no matter what season you’re in.
🌙 Sleep Stacking –LuNella (Code Kerstin20) Sleep Breakthrough, and occasionally a little melatonin. My body thanks me every morning.
💪 Collagen & Creatine – Game changers. My hair and nails are stronger, my muscles more defined, and my recovery time shorter. I use Ancient Nutrition’s new combo use code Strest20 for 20% off
✨ Red Light Therapy – My secret weapon for reducing inflammation, supporting natural healing, and turning back the clock on aging. It’s become a daily ritual. I like Flikeze Panels. Use Code Kerstin10
👓 Nighttime Glasses & Readers – I’m making peace with glasses. My eyesight changed overnight (literally!). When I’m tired, it’s “sayonara, sharp vision.” Investing in the right glasses has made evenings so much easier.
💊 Hormone Replacement Therapy – After prayer and good medical guidance, I started using estrogen patches, topical estrogen, and oral progesterone. For cognition and mood, this has been exactly what my body needed. Listen to this episode of the podcast where I share my personal HRT journey.
🙏 More Time on My Knees – Not in the gym—on the floor, praying. When the sadness or anxiety hits, or when I’m overwhelmed by the blessings I’m receiving, I go straight to Him!
Life seems to be changing faster these days, but I’m choosing to see it as an opportunity—to get stronger, live lighter, and rely on God more deeply than ever before.
Also loving Shatavri for mood! Love my Red Light and Creatine.
What a gift that is to me. Happy my birthday week 🤣.
Be Well,
Kerstin
