Fueling Purpose: How Nutrition and Long-Term Care Planning Support an Active Retirement

Trevor interviews dietician Shelly Wegman to discuss how tailored nutrition sustains energy, mobility, and mental clarity as metabolic needs evolve. Wegman highlights the importance of countering age-related muscle loss by evenly distributing protein and high-quality carbohydrates throughout the day, avoiding late-day calorie spikes, and working with professionals when utilizing GLP-1 medications or supplements. Shifting to financial readiness, Lawson analyzes the 2025 Milliman Long-Term Care Index, emphasizing that a 65-year-old needs an estimated $135,000 set aside for future care costs—a burden amplified by Medicare's limited coverage and rising inflation.
