Aging isn’t a decline, it’s an opportunity. One of Fortune’s top health reporters is here to prove it.

On today’s Power & Impact, I sit down with Alexa Mikhail, health and wellness reporter at Fortune, to explore how longevity, connection, and conscious living are transforming not just how we age, but how we thinkabout aging.

From growing up in a health-focused family in Ann Arbor to leading global health coverage alongside the Gates Foundation, Alexa shares her journey from theater dreams to bylines at one of the world’s most respected business publications.

We unpack the rise of the longevity economy, why social connection might matter more than supplements, and how media narratives are finally embracing a more empowering view of aging. Alexa also shares her own wellness routines, including running, boxing, and navigating balance, as well as the deeper reasons behind today’s wellness movement.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to live a longer, fuller life, this episode is your starting line.
