none of it is interesting. that's the part nobody tells you. it isn't a treatment. it isn't a device. it isn't the thing that costs four hundred dollars. I asked someone once what actually moves the needle at this age. "genetics, mostly." Genetics decides where you start. It doesn't decide what you do at seven in the morning, every morning, for ten years. Boring done for a decade beats interesting done for a fortnight. That's the whole secret and I'm aware it's a bad one. So — the five. In the order they happen: 🔋 NMN, first thing, on an empty stomach. NAD+ is what your cells run on and it falls as you age — by 50 it's a fraction of what you had at 25. Less of it means your skin and muscle cells are doing the same repair work every day with less to work with. NMN is the precursor I take to keep topping it back up. The least interesting thing about it is that I just take it. No cycling, no loading, no protocol. It's the one thing on this list I've never skipped. (the exact one I use is linked in my bio 🧬) ☀️ ten minutes outside before I look at a screen. Not a walk. Not exercise. Standing in the garden with coffee like someone who has lost the plot. 🍳 protein at breakfast, before anything sweet. I spent my forties eating fruit and toast at eight and being ravenous at eleven and never once connected the two. 👟 a walk after dinner. Twenty minutes, same loop, no headphones. Nothing has done more for how I sleep. 🌙 bed at the same time, including friday. This is the one that made me feel old to commit to and the one that changed the most. You're not behind. You haven't missed a secret. And you're not too late — nothing on that list has a start-by date. If you want all of it — every routine written out in order, morning to night, plus the parts that never fit in a caption — that's my Ageless Blueprint. It's in my bio. And don't worry, it's free. I'm not a doctor. I'm the woman who did the reading and then actually did it. #agingwell #skincareover50 #nmn #midlifewomen
