As summer gives way to fall, it’s the perfect season to reset, recharge, and embrace new possibilities. September is also Healthy Aging® Month, a national observance dedicated to celebrating positive aging and encouraging people everywhere to take stock of their physical, emotional, and social well-being. What better way to mark the month than with the Fall issue of Healthy Aging® Magazine, arriving on September 15?
This edition is packed with insights, inspiring stories, recipes, and practical tools for living your best life after 45. From food and travel to wellness and reinvention, the Fall issue is designed to spark motivation for the season ahead.
Cover Feature: Ray Lewis – Legacy in Motion
This Fall, our cover story spotlights Ray Lewis, the legendary NFL Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion.
In Legacy in Motion: Ray Lewis on Aging, Caregiving, and What Comes Next, to be published on September 15, Lewis shares how his perspective on strength has shifted from the football field to family life and community leadership. Today, his focus is less on winning games and more on giving back—mentoring younger generations, advocating for caregivers, and speaking out on men’s health and mental wellness.
Lewis’s role as keynote speaker at the NFL Alumni Health Legends of Longevity: Huddle for Health Symposium underscored his powerful message: aging isn’t about slowing down, it’s about stepping into new forms of leadership and responsibility. His story is both deeply personal and profoundly inspiring.
