There is a strange contradiction happening in wellness right now. We have never been more obsessed with living longer, yet we've also never had more ways to spend money trying to do it. Longevity clinics. Red-light panels. Cold plunges. NAD+ infusions. Continuous glucose monitors. Wearable sleep trackers.

Why "It's Just Old Age" Is One of the Most Harmful Myths We Tell Ourselves. Somewhere along the way, we've started treating ordinary experiences like signs that our bodies are failing.
