Fresh Start After 50: 8 Habits That Changed My Life

A divorce, two kids and a lot of stress. This is how I started over.

Number 9 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.

Here’s what helps me

✿
  1. 1

    Start with one habit

    Not ten. One.

    How to: Pick the easiest one on this list and do it for two weeks.

  2. 2

    Fix your mornings

    The rest of the day follows.

    How to: Water, probiotic, walk, protein breakfast.

  3. 3

    Walk daily

    My thinking time became my healing time.

    How to: 20 minutes, every morning.

  4. 4

    Cook at home

    Real food made me feel in control again.

    How to: Three simple dinners you can make without thinking.

  5. 5

    Protect your sleep

    Everything is harder when you are tired.

    How to: Same bedtime every night.

  6. 6

    Stop the 2am scroll

    Comparing my life to others kept me stuck.

    How to: Phone out of the bedroom.

  7. 7

    Find your people

    You do not have to do it alone.

    How to: One friend you walk or talk with every week.

  8. 8

    Be patient with yourself

    Your body is not broken.

    How to: Measure how you feel, not just the scale.

  9. 9

    The one most people miss

    Of all my fresh start habits, the easiest one to keep is the first one: one little capsule for my gut every morning.

    Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions

How long until I feel a difference?

For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.

Is it hard to take?

No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.

Is it worth the money?

I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.

Can I take it with the rest of my routine?

Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
