You can find Babette Davis’s infectious smile and bright energy in every video uploaded to her Instagram page. The 73-year-old lifting enthusiast’s feed offers a peek into her early-morning workouts or behind the scenes of her restaurant Stuff I Eat, an organic, plant-based, whole food spot in Inglewood, CA. The restaurant was born from Davis’s desire to bring healthy, plant-based options to her community. Now, through her countless appearances on podcasts, talkshows and her ever-growing social media following, her message of embracing and appreciating every step of the aging journey has reached more and more people.

Davis hopes she can show others the magic of showing yourself self-love and self-care through diet and exercise. She says, “There are going to be alot of things that give you an excuse to not train—but the truth is the human body is incredible. Never stop training, never stop working to be the best version of yourself.”
