I LOOK YOUNGER THAN EVER AFTER MAKING 3 CHANGES - PEOPLE CAN'T GET OVER MY AGE

A woman insists she's ageing in reverse and consistently shocks people when she reveals her actual age.

Lisa D'Ettorre-Liguori wakes up each day "ready to train" with a sculpted physique that would put most twenty-somethings to shame.

The confident mother-of-two is "proud" of her years – but stays "very intentional" about her lifestyle, including her fitness regimen, diet and skincare routine, which helps her look decades younger.

Lisa's body is the result of commitment inspired by years of carrying extra weight, struggling with hormonal changes, mental fog and bleeding gums, all caused by perimenopause symptoms at the time.

Now, she's in the best condition of her life – here's her approach: from monitoring macros to eating adequate protein, and fully embracing resistance training.

"I'm very intentional about how I live. I am redefining what ageing can look like for women.

"I strength train multiple times a week, walk every day and include HIIT workouts a couple of times weekly to keep my cardiovascular fitness strong.

"I plan my meals, track my macros, and make sure I'm eating enough protein to support muscle and recovery, which was a major shift for me as I aged.

"I protect my sleep, manage stress, wear sunscreen daily, stay consistent with skincare, and I no longer drink alcohol because I simply feel better without it.

"None of it is extreme, but it's consistent. Those daily habits compound, and that's what keeps me feeling strong, mobile, and energized at 64.

"Over the past six months, I've been following a 'reverse diet' to properly fuel my training so I can build muscle, not just maintain it.

"People don't expect a woman in her sixties to live this way: strong, energetic, training hard, and fully engaged."

The influencer revealed that people frequently assume she's younger than her actual age.

She explained: "The number varies, but the reaction is often surprise. I take it as a compliment, but what matters more to me is helping people see that ageing doesn't mean falling apart or shrinking back."

Lisa lives in the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California, US, with her husband of 37 years, David, 64, and they share two adult children Jeremy, 30, and Kasey, 26.

The founder of Simple Beauty Minerals Cosmetics claims that maintaining her healthy regime means she sidesteps many of the typical ailments experienced by her peers.

A vegetarian, she begins each day with at least a 45-minute walk, plus three strength training sessions and two 10-minute HIIT workouts weekly.

Lisa commented: "I'm not dealing with many of the common health concerns that often come up in conversations at this age, and I'm grateful for that.

"I wake up without aches or pains and feel ready to move and train, which reflects the work I put in consistently.

"I feel comfortable in my body and free to wear what I like, whether that's tank tops, dresses, or something more fitted.

"[When I was younger], I followed the advice many women were given at the time; eat less and do more cardio, and it wasn't sustainable or effective.

"I'm no longer interested in trying to be 'skinny' by undereating.

"The biggest shift was learning how to strength train effectively, and also learning to eat enough, and to count macros in a way that truly supports my body. ".

Lisa shares snippets of her wellness journey with her 8,389 Instagram followers under the handle @lisadliguori.

She's keen to ignite a conversation that moves beyond the obsession with eternal youth, instead emphasising living well where health – not age – is the main event.

She also regularly undergoes blood tests to keep tabs on any changes occurring in her body.

Lisa added: "My family and friends respect my routines and understand that movement, training, and taking care of myself are non-negotiable.

"What's been especially meaningful is hearing from younger women and even men who feel encouraged by seeing a different example of ageing."
