Still Hot at 65 | Hotness Ep. 16

If you’ve been told midlife is the beginning of the end… this episode will change your mind.

At 65, Jana Short is building businesses, learning AI, publishing a magazine read by millions, and proving that aging is not about slowing down. It’s about expanding into who you really are.

In this episode of Hotness, Dr. Liz Lyster sits down with Jana to talk about what healthy aging actually looks like, why “maintenance” is one of the smartest words in midlife, and how self-care becomes an act of self-respect, not selfishness.

Jana also shares the remarkable health journey that transformed her life after a devastating surgical complication, and why listening to your body is far more powerful than fighting against it.

This conversation is filled with hope, practical wisdom, and a refreshing reminder that your hottest years may still be ahead.

In this episode you’ll learn:
*Why 65 can be the beginning—not the ending
*The real meaning of holistic (or “wholistic”) health
*How listening to your body changes everything
*Why maintenance is the secret to thriving as we age
*How mindset influences longevity and vitality
*Why self-care isn’t selfish
*Building confidence and purpose after major health challenges
*Learning new skills at any age—including AI
*Creating a life that’s bigger than your diagnosis

Whether you’re navigating menopause, rebuilding your health, or simply wondering what’s next in midlife, this conversation will remind you that your future is still yours to create.
