About Darnell Cox

Darnell Cox is a 56-year-old gerontologist, healthy aging expert, and a bad-a$$ midlife woman, owner of the LIVE YOUNG Healthy Aging Supplement line who is on a mission to help you Feel, Function, and yes, Look your best at every age. She creates content, both written publications in various magazines such as Vogue and Prevention, as well as video content across Live Young Lifestyle social media platforms, to provide a roadmap to optimal health. She’s had the privilege of sharing her expertise as a public speaker on talk shows like Morning on Merit Street, Wake Up With Marci, Doctor & The Diva, and New York Living, among many others. What qualifies her to be a "healthy aging expert" you may ask? Well, she is a middle-aged woman who has been living a healthy lifestyle for as long as she can remember—before "health and wellness" was even a field. She has a master's degree in psychology from Pepperdine University. She has a second master's degree in Gerontology (the physical, social, and psychological study of aging) from USC. She is a certified Holistic Nutrition and Health Coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in NYC. She obtained her 500-hour certification as a yoga instructor. She is passionate about teaching others how to age in a healthy way—not just to prolong their lifespan, but to prolong their healthspan. The population is living to record-breaking ages due to advances in modern medicine. However, living longer does not mean living disease-free and disability-free. In most cases, modern medicine is prolonging the number of sick years. However, there are so many behavior changes that we can do now in order to change that. We CAN be high-functioning, happy, active, socially engaged people right up to the end. Her goal is to show people that pathway.
