What makes you you? 

There are so many factors that influence the person you are today: your family, how you grew up, where you live, your job, your hobbies — and of course, your mindset. While many of life’s experiences are similar, each of us navigates them in our own way. What retiring looks like for one person may be totally different for another. How your health changes as the years go by — and how you handle those changes — comes down to your unique body and lifestyle. 

In this issue of Renew, we take a look at important aspects of healthy living, from exercise to nutrition trends and beyond. With each topic, we encourage you to take the idea and make it your own (with help from your health care team). Find a fitness routine that’s fun for you and right for your body. Discover ways to get mental health support on your terms. Kick-start a conversation with your primary care provider about common health problems and how they may affect you. Savor recipes that are right-sized for your life. 

Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates shares thoughts about how she forged her path in the entertainment industry and how a healthy lifestyle empowers her to take on new challenges. Just when she thought she was going to wind down her career, a new opportunity arrived and changed her perspective on the next phase of her life. 

In this second all-digital edition of Renew, you’ll find all this and more, including interactive quizzes to test your knowledge as you learn and resources to support your health care journey. We hope that you’ll take time to read, enjoy and reflect on the uniqueness of you.
