THE TEAM
You Will Not Be Working With a Program. You Will Be Working With People.
Five specialists. Decades of combined experience. Every single one of us in our fifties. And every single one of us has lived the kind of life that makes us genuinely qualified to help you navigate yours
WHY THIS TEAM IS DIFFERENT
The Power of This Team
There are programs built on credentials. And then there are programs built on something harder to find and impossible to fake: a team of women who have actually lived what they are teaching
Every specialist on the Younger With Age team is in her fifties. Every one of us has decades of clinical and professional excellence. And every one of us has also lived a full, complicated, sometimes brutal human life -- the kind that does not appear on a resume but shapes everything about how we show up for the women we serve
Between us, we have navigated cancer diagnoses, miscarriages, divorce, single parenting, the loss of people we loved, the weight of aging parents, careers that demanded more than was healthy to give, and the particular exhaustion of being the person everyone else depends on. Some of us became mothers in our thirties. Some of us -- Cornelia and Bettina among them -- became mothers in our forties, at an age when the world quietly suggests it might be too late. It was not.
We have built practices, scaled companies, worked at prestigious institutions, been fired, started over, and climbed back. We have refused to accept that the best of life is behind us.
What we bring to this program is not only clinical expertise -- though we have that in abundance. We bring earned wisdom. We bring the perspective that only comes from having been in the room with our own bodies when they surprised us, betrayed us, or stunned us with what they were capable of.
We care about the women who come to us not as cases or clients but as women we recognize. The ones carrying everything. The ones who are strong for everyone else and quietly wondering when someone will show up for them. The ones who are doing everything right and still feel it is not enough.
We have been that woman. We know what she needs. And we built this program to give it to her
We bring not just credentials. We bring real life experience to this program. And we bring it with heart and soul.

HOW THE TEAM WORKS
This Is Not Five Specialists. This Is One Integrated Team.
You have probably seen fragmented care. A doctor who does not know what your nutritionist is recommending. A therapist who has never seen your bloodwork. Specialists who are each excellent at what they do -- and who never speak to each other. This program was built to close that gap entirely. Your Younger With Age team communicates. We share your data. We review your biomarker results together before any recommendations are made. We build one cohesive plan around your specific biology, your specific life, and your specific goals -- and we refine that plan together as your program progresses. When Njeri adjusts your nutrition protocol, Dr. Mary knows. When Dr. Cornelia identifies a stress physiology pattern, Joshua knows. When your biomarkers shift between panels, the entire team reviews what changed and why. Nothing is siloed. Nothing falls through the gaps. Bettina is your guide and first point of contact throughout. She holds the team together, holds you accountable, and makes sure every specialist is working in alignment toward one goal: you, transformed.
One team. One plan. All built around you.
DR. MARY SHACKELTON
Dr. Mary Shackelton is a naturopathic physician and the founder of The Women's Center for Natural Health (1999) and Holistica Integrative Care (2013), with more than 25 years of clinical practice focused on women's health. Her Master's in Public Health gives her a prevention-first lens on everything she does. Her current focus is Environmental Medicine -- the conditions associated with toxic exposures including hormone imbalances, autoimmunity, cognitive decline, and neurological conditions. Dr. Shackelton approaches each client the way a skilled investigator approaches a case: she leaves no stone unturned, works at the level of root cause rather than symptom, and brings the rare combination of deep clinical experience and genuine curiosity to every consultation. She is also the author of Pre-Conception Cleanse and co-founder of Insulite Laboratories and PridePads Africa.
"If you are tired of feeling lousy and need help figuring out what your body is telling you and what it needs, this is the practice for you. Dr. Shackelton is like an investigative reporter. She leaves no stone unturned in pursuit of the root cause. I am very grateful for the help and support I have received."
