What if the real version of anti-aging has less to do with how you look and more to do with how you live, lead, and show up every day?

In this episode of The Healthy Hustle, Maribeth and Mandy sit down with Dr. Hugo Palafox, VP of Global Scientific Affairs at Immunotech, to talk about what actually fuels long-term performance from the inside out. They move past quick fixes and surface-level wellness and get into the habits that support energy, clarity, and longevity in real life.

Dr. Hugo breaks down the foundations of cellular health, why muscle, sleep, stress, and hydration matter more than most people realize, and how strategic supplementation can support a busy, high-demand lifestyle. Together, they explore how the way you care for your body directly impacts your leadership, your focus, and your ability to keep building what matters most.

If you’ve ever felt torn between chasing big goals and taking care of yourself along the way, this conversation is a reminder that your health is not a side project. It is the foundation that makes everything else possible.

A new year doesn’t require a new you. It might just need a better rhythm.

In this episode of The Healthy Hustle, we talk about why traditional New Year goals so often fall apart and what actually leads to lasting change. We unpack the difference between chasing big, shiny resolutions and building simple, daily habits that compound over time. From creating margin and mental space, to setting rhythms that support both health and ambition, this conversation is about starting where you are and moving forward with intention.

We share honest stories about seasons that felt foggy, goals that didn’t spark excitement, and why “mushy” middle moments are often where the most meaningful growth is happening. You’ll hear practical ways to reduce mental clutter, manage your time more intentionally, and stop waiting for the perfect moment to begin.

If you’re feeling behind, uncertain, or pressured to have it all figured out by January, this one is for you.
