Overcoming Health Scares and Prioritising Wellness With Denise Linay

Full Circle: Finding Your Way Home

This week I am joined by Denise Linay, a Personal Trainer, ICF-qualified wellness coach, and writer of the blog ’60 is the new 60’. In this episode, Denise shares her experience of overcoming several serious health scares including heart failure and two autoimmune conditions, all while maintaining her wellness routine at the age of 63. Denise discusses her determination and passion for staying fit, the importance of making health a priority, and trusting your intuition when it comes to your health and well-being. As someone who walks the walk, she also offers advice for anyone looking to focus on their fitness and reveals the incredible goals she has set for herself before she turns 70. This is a truly inspiring conversation that you won't want to miss, so tune in now!
