Can you reverse aging? Journalist and breast cancer survivor, Bettina Gordon-Wayne, reveals the groundbreaking science of longevity, showing that you can influence and even reverse your biological age through lifestyle and daily habits. Stop fearing decline and start actively turning back your body’s clock to feel and look like you get younger with age. Bettina Gordon-Wayne is an international journalist, Certified Mental Strength Trainer, and host of the Younger With Age podcast. She leads transformational retreats around the world, helping women get biologically younger, boost their energy and joy, and thrive in business and life. Through BettinaGordon.com, she shares science-backed strategies on longevity, mindset, and the power of midlife.

Bettina's own journey took a pivotal turn when she became a first-time mother at 44 — and faced a cancer diagnosis just a few years later. Drawing on her journalistic skills, Bettina spent thousands of hours researching optimal health, neuroscience, and how to slow, maybe even reverse biological aging through the power of beliefs, nutrition, and lifestyle transformation. She now lives by the proven principles she once investigated, inspiring others to do the same – and have lots of fun doing so!
