Aging Strong: Why What You Do Now Matters More Than You Think

What if aging didn’t automatically mean losing strength, energy, or independence?

In this episode of the PlantBased.com Podcast, we sit down with Maxime Sigouin, founder of Now Mavi Wellness, to explore a question most people avoid until it’s too late:

How do you want to feel in 10, 20, or 30 years?

This conversation isn’t about chasing aesthetics or extreme fitness trends. It’s about something far more important: building a body that continues to support your life as you age.

Strength Isn’t Just Physical 

Many people don’t realize that muscle loss begins earlier than expected. And when it goes unchecked, it quietly affects everything from energy levels to balance, confidence, and daily independence.

Maxime has spent years working with adults over 50, helping them rethink what strength really means not as punishment or pressure, but as a form of long-term self-respect.

This episode challenges the idea that “slowing down” is inevitable and invites a different perspective: one where aging can be active, capable, and empowering.

Why Most Health Advice Stops Working

If motivation alone worked, everyone would already feel amazing.

One of the themes woven through this conversation is why most people struggle to maintain results and why doing “more” is rarely the answer. Instead, the focus shifts toward clarity, intention, and systems that fit real life.

Not perfection.
Not restriction.
Just approaches that actually last.

A Conversation Worth Sitting With

Rather than offering quick fixes, this episode opens the door to deeper questions about habits, identity, and how small choices compound over time.

It’s the kind of conversation that stays with you and makes you reflect on how you’re showing up for your future self.
