Living with Vitality
For the woman who suspects her best years are behind her — they're not, and this is where you prove it.
You've spent decades showing up for everyone else. Now it's your turn.
Living with Vitality is a 12 week program built around the STOP Method — a practical, science-informed framework that helps women over 50 reclaim their energy, reconnect with their purpose, and age with genuine vitality.
Not by starting over. Not by perfection. Just by making the right small changes that stack into lasting transformation.

Feel 10 years Younger - Science meets Rejuvenation
Starting a health program can feel overwhelming. There’s so much advice out there—how do you know what actually works?
Or maybe you’ve started programs before, but they weren’t sustainable or personalized for your needs.
The Living with Vitality course takes the guesswork out of healthy aging and sets you up for success.
No more failed New Year's resolutions!
No more overwhelm by information overload!
No more confusion about what's best for you to do right now!
No more jumping from one thing to another because of FOMO - you won't miss out!
By the end of 12 weeks, you’ll have: • Confidence in a system tailored to you. • Created simple, daily habits that slow aging at the cellular level. • A youthful, energized state of mind and body.
Are you ready to look and feel years younger, to defy age limits and fall in love with life at every age?
Living with Vitality is for you if:
You're tired of feeling tired — and you know there has to be a better way than just accepting it
You've tried programs before but they weren't designed for your life, your body, or where you actually are right now
You're done being told what you can't do. You're not finished. Not even close.
You want to understand what actually works — without wading through conflicting research or following advice designed for someone half your age
You're ready to invest in yourself the way you've always invested in everyone else
By the end of 12 weeks you will have:
A personal Vitality Blueprint built around your life — not a generic plan but yours, created in week one and refined in week twelve
Daily habits that work at a cellular level - small, sustainable changes that reset your biological age from the inside out
A repeatable system you can use for life — because aging is dynamic and your approach needs to be too
A relationship with your body built on understanding rather than frustration
The breathwork practices of a verified Quantum Breath practitioner woven into every week — not as an add-on but as the thread that makes everything else stick
Not Just Healthy Aging Advice....But A Complete Personal System
Living with Vitality is built around the STOP Method — the same science-informed framework at the heart of Dr Maud's book. You don't need to have read the book and you don't need to understand every detail of the method. Simply by going through the program week by week you'll experience the full power of the system working for you.
Self Love, Lifestyle, Open Possibilities, Purpose — all four pillars woven through every lesson, every breathwork practice, every week. You just show up and do the work. The system does the rest.
Every participant receives the Vitality Playbook — a complete reference guide to every Vitality Code across all four STOP pillars. This becomes your personal menu throughout the 12 weeks and beyond. Not a prescription but a toolkit — you choose what works for your life, your body, and where you are right now.
And woven through every week — the Enrichment Vitality Codes. One new practice introduced each week from what Dr Maud calls the F Salad — a collection of evidence-based joy practices that turn out to be some of the most powerful longevity tools available. Fresh Air. Friends. Fun. Fascination. Forgiveness. And a few more surprises along the way.
The best systems are the ones you don't have to think about. You just live them.
The Science Behind the Vitality Code
You don’t need to understand the science to benefit from it.
But knowing it’s there can change how you see every small choice you make.
Because your daily habits are not just routines — they are biological signals.
Telomeres - Your Cellular Age Clock
Telomeres are the protective caps on the ends of your DNA - like the plastic tips on shoelaces. Each time a cell divides, they naturally shorten, and over time this influences how old your cells behave.
Research shows that certain lifestyle patterns — how you move, rest, eat, connect, and manage stress — help protect these caps.
Some Vitality Codes directly support this process; others help by reducing the pressures that accelerate shortening.
Small choices, repeated consistently, help your cells age more slowly.
Epigenetic Switches - Your Biological Volume Control
Your genes are not your destiny.
Epigenetics is the science of how lifestyle influences which genes are more active and which remain quiet — like adjusting the volume on different parts of your biology.
You can’t change the genes you were born with, but you can influence how they express themselves.
Everyday behaviours send signals to your DNA.
Your Vitality Codes are designed to make those signals more supportive than stressful.
Inflammaging - The Slow Burn You Can Stop
Scientists use the term inflammaging to describe the low-grade, persistent inflammation linked with fatigue, brain fog, joint discomfort, and many age-related conditions.
This process isn’t simply a result of getting older. Much of it reflects how we live.
Many Vitality Codes help calm this internal “slow burn,” creating conditions where repair, energy, and resilience become easier again.
Three levers. One Playbook. You choose your codes. Your body responds.
Not Just Everyday Advice....But a Proprietary Method for Lasting Transformation
The C.O.R.E Method
Before you can change where you're going, you need to get clear on where you want to be.
The C.O.R.E Method is how you create your personal Vitality Blueprint - a clear, specific vision of your vibrant future self and the roadmap to get there. If you don't know where you're going, you could end up anywhere. That's not good enough for this chapter of your life.
The Vitality Playbook
Your personal toolkit for cellular rejuvenation. The Vitality Playbook is a curated collection of Vitality Codes - science-backed habit options drawn from all four STOP pillars - that you choose from throughout the program and beyond.
Not a prescription. A menu. You pick what works for your life, your body, and where you are right now. The aim is simple: reprogram your cells to be healthier, more efficient, and more resilient - one chosen habit at a time.
The Vitality Formula
A repeatable strategy you can use for life. Because aging is dynamic - what works in year one may need refining in year three.
The Vitality Formula gives you a framework across seven areas of mind, body, and soul that you can return to again and again as your needs evolve. It works for beginners and for women who have been living vitally for years. You never outgrow it.
Quantum Breath
The thread that runs through everything. As a verified Quantum Breath practitioner Dr Maud brings this transformational breathwork practice into every week of the program - not as an add-on but as the integration tool that locks in change at a cellular level.
Each daily practice is short, standalone, and designed to be done every day. Over 12 weeks it rewires your nervous system, reduces cellular aging, and becomes the anchor habit that makes everything else stick.
What You Get Each Week
Every week includes:
A pre-recorded lesson — drops into your course portal every Thursday so you can watch in your own time before the week's community session
A daily Quantum Breath practice — 10-15 minutes, standalone, designed to be used every single day not just once a week
A new Enrichment Vitality Code — one simple practice to add to your life this week
Weekly Facebook Live — Dr Maud discusses the lesson, answers questions, and brings the community together
Every Friday — The Vitality Lounge — live drop-in support, first come first served, 5 minutes each

Who is Dr Maud?
Dr Maud Meates-Dennis spent years working as a paediatrician — dedicated to giving children the best possible start in life. Then her own life stopped her in her tracks.
She faced what so many women over 50 experience in silence — exhaustion, a quiet loss of self, and the unsettling feeling that her best years might be behind her.
They weren't. And yours aren't either.
So she turned her medical training toward a very personal question: how do I get myself back?
The answer became the STOP Method — and Living with Vitality is where she teaches it.
Dr Maud is a certified Quantum Breath practitioner, certified in RTT hypnotherapy and the Quantum Flow method, and author of The STOP Method for Timeless Aging.
Now in her late 60s she wakes up with energy, radiates curiosity, and finds an excuse to dance whenever she can — usually in her living room.
She writes and teaches for every woman over 50 who deserves to feel vital, purposeful, and joy-filled in the second half.
Frequently Asked Questions
Living with Vitality is designed for you if you are ready to be proactive about your health, want to defy age limits, are frustrated with conventional anti-aging approaches, are open to holistic and science-backed strategies, and are willing to invest time in your own wellbeing. Most importantly — you understand that only you can create change. Nobody else can reset your biological age. But you don't have to figure it out alone.
This course won't suit everyone. If you're seeking quick fixes, are unwilling to make lifestyle changes, have severe health conditions requiring specialised medical care, are not open to breath-based practices, or believe someone else can create change for you — this is not the right program at this time.
Research shows that creating lasting habits typically requires around 66 days.
This 12 week program gives you ample time to build, refine, and solidify habits into your lifestyle.
The integration weeks built into the second half are where the real transformation happens — not just learning but living the changes.
Each content week includes a pre-recorded lesson dropping Thursday into your course portal, a daily standalone Quantum Breath practice, an Enrichment Vitality Code, and access to the weekly Facebook Live and Friday Vitality Lounge.
Weeks 7, 9 and 11 are dedicated integration weeks — space to reflect, embody, and consolidate your progress.
