Anti-Aging Diet: What I Eat as a Woman in my Late 30s

Aging isn't something I fear — it's something I embrace. But I've learned that how I feel in my body depends a lot on what I put on my plate. As a dancer, my body is my instrument, and after my 30s, I started noticing shifts: energy dips, slower recovery, and changes in my skin. That's when I dove deep into nutrition for longevity — and let me tell you, the difference has been life-changing.

What I Changed in My Diet and Why It Worked

I started researching anti-aging nutrition, not just for my skin, but most all, for my energy levels, immune system, and overall vitality. Two studies really opened my eyes:

1. A study published in the journal Advances in Nutrition (2020) showed how gut health plays a massive role in aging, influencing everything from inflammation to brain function. (Source: PMC7146365)

2. Another study in Current Opinion in Biotechnology (2023) reinforced the role of probiotics in immune health and how they support longevity. (Source: ScienceDirect)

   
   

Inspired by this, I focused on gut health, antioxidants, and essential fats — and my body responded in the best way possible.

My Must-Have Anti-Aging Foods

🔹 Probiotics & Fermented Foods – the real game-changer. I started incorporating kombucha, sauerkraut, yogurt and plant-based probiotic supplements into my routine. Not only did my digestion improve, but my skin looked healthier, and I got sick way less often.

When I was a teenager and then, throughout my 20's, I used to have a lot of throat infection and candidiasis. And there I was, always at the doctors crying to stop that. But it was very recurrent. After I introduced probiotics, it all stopped.

🔹 Leafy Greens – spinach, kale, and arugula are loaded with antioxidants that slow cellular aging. Plus, they help my skin stay bright and clear.

🔹 Healthy Fats – avocados, nuts, seeds, and extra virgin olive oil are my daily staples. They keep my hormones balanced and my brain sharp.

🔹 Lean Plant Proteins – lentils, quinoa, and tofu keep my muscles strong without the inflammation that some animal proteins can cause.

🔹 Berries – blueberries and raspberries are my favorite because they're full of vitamins that protect my cells from oxidative stress. They also taste amazing in my morning smoothie!

The Supplements I Recommend (With Links!)

After experimenting, these are the probiotic and anti-aging supplements I actually use:

✔ My Daily Probiotic 

Ritual Synbiotic+ is a 3-in-1 supplement with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, designed to support gut health, digestion, and immunity. It features delayed-release capsules for better absorption and is clinically studied. And girls, I've seen and tried it all, but this is simply THE BEST!

✔ Omega-3 + Vitamins Supplement

Ritual Essential for Women 18+ is multivitamin designed to support brain, heart, and bone health and it contains Omega-3, vitamin D, and iron in delayed-release capsules for better absorption.

And, you can also find these two paired since they are a match made in Ritual labs:
