65 Years Old and Still Breaking the Mold? Here's Why

65 years old and still breaking the mold. Aging Rebel is about choosing vitality as we age. In this video, I explain why Aging Rebel exists, what shaped it, and why I focus on encouragement, perspective, and lived experience. This is not medical advice. It’s what I’ve learned by paying attention.

I’m 65. I’ve lived around the world. I’ve seen many ways people age. Some shrink quietly. Some stay engaged, curious, and capable far longer than expected.

Aging Rebel exists because I chose not to follow the default plan for “old folks.”

This journey started with education around functional aging and how quickly muscle, strength, and endurance decline when they’re ignored. It was reinforced through real-life moments, family experiences that made it personal, and ultimately confirmed through a deeper conviction that vitality doesn’t have to disappear with age.

I’m not a doctor.
I don’t give medical advice.
I don’t tell people what to do.

I share perspective.
I share experience.
I live an example of what could be.

Take what fits. Leave what doesn’t. You still get to choose.

If this made you think about your own future or how you want to age, I’d love to hear your perspective in the comments..
