Amanda-Jo Wilt: Making The Most of the Years You Have Left with "The Boomer Nutritionist"
About Fun With Annuities Episode #106
Having money and being financially secure is a great thing. But if you don’t feel good, it really doesn’t matter. Nod your head. Retirement is about Chapter 2 of your life. It’s now about you. You’ve earned the right to live well, travel, and spend time with your family. But if you are not healthy, all of those things are irrelevant.
I’m telling you things you already know, but are you really taking care of yourself? Are you eating well? Are you getting enough sleep? Are you taking the right vitamins? Are you exercising? You’ve planned financially for your retirement, but have you planned for a healthy retirement so you can enjoy the money that you worked so hard to accumulate?
Amanda-Jo Wilt is known as “The Boomer Nutritionist”, and nationally recognized as an expert in nutrition with a primary focus on Baby Boomers. There’s over 10,000 Baby Boomers that hit the age of 65 every single day, so Amanda-Jo is on a mission to get all of them healthy! It’s time for you to consider hiring a nutritional advisor. Amanda-Jo should be your newest retirement team member.
When I asked her about how she became a nutritionist, the personal answer she gave was both emotional and inspirational. The passion she has to help people get healthier is refreshing. Amanda-Jo is in it for the long-haul, and she wants to walk beside you in your journey to getting healthier.
We talked about a ton of topics on this podcast, and Amanda-Jo didn’t disappoint with her unique insight. She “weighed in” on fasting, eating late night, diabetes, sleep, the food pyramid, vitamins, alcohol, food deserts, and the future of nutrition education. If that doesn’t get your attention, then you are not serious about your health!
Enjoy the podcast.
"If your health span runs out before your lifespan runs out, all that saving you’ve put in for retirement is now vulnerable because instead of enjoying that, it’s all going toward medical costs." — Amanda-Jo Wilt

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Amanda-Jo Wilt discuss:
- Your most important asset
- Removing the barriers to health
- Weight acceptance and promoting health
- The problem with alcohol
Key Takeaways:
- Your overall most important asset is your health. Invest in it, or you’ll lose out on enjoying your retirement.
- The best way to achieve a healthy lifestyle is to get rid of the barriers and make it easier on yourself. Hiring a specialist to create the perfect meal plan for you is the simplest way you can do this.
- Your value doesn’t change depending on your weight. No matter how you are and what health struggle you’re going through, you are beautiful and important. However, make no mistake that obesity is a sickness, and it will impact how much or how little you will be able to enjoy your life in the long run.
- If you have goals for longevity and quality of life, you have to sit back, be honest, and assess yourself and your relationship with alcohol. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a glass, but it’s time to stop if you can see that you lack self-control.
