When Your Health Becomes Another Full-Time Job

I cried in my doctor's office. And I knew exactly why. I've had so many doctor's appointments this year, and after months of feeling extremely tired, I recently learned that I have sleep apnea. Today's appointment was about understanding my treatment options, but it also brought up something bigger: the emotional toll of trying to stay healthy as we get older. We're told to eat well, exercise, get enough sleep, and keep up with our medical appointments. And those things matter. But it's the amount of time, energy, and emotional effort it takes to manage our health that is exhausting in ways you didn't expect. In this video, which I am realizing should be my new format called TWIST & SHOUT, I'm sharing my personal experience and reflecting on navigating health concerns while twisting my hair. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by everything it takes to look after your health? I'd love to hear your experience in the comments. #WellnessOver50 #HealthyAging #LifeAfter50
