Chanhassen, Minn. – November 04, 2026 -- The November/December 2026 issue of Experience Life, Life Time's editorial magazine, is on newsstands now. It features a Norwegian 4x4 interval workout, a guide to seven types of rest and a cover story on why belonging matters for vitality.
Cover story argues vitality is practiced, not purchased
The issue is themed "Move. Connect. Thrive." Its cover story is a Q&A with Geeta Maker-Clark, MD, an integrative family physician and author of Medicine for All People: Science and Ancient Wisdom for Revolutionary Healing. She explains why the most powerful influences on health often happen outside the exam room. She also argues that vitality is something people practice daily.
Inside: workouts, mitochondria and a calm-heart diet
The issue includes the Norwegian 4x4 interval workout and three DIY longevity tests. A closer look at mitochondria covers their role in energy, longevity and brain health. On nutrition, it covers eating for a calm heart during a stressful season and what to eat while on GLP-1s.
For mindset, "Unburden Your Heart" examines how to forgive without losing yourself, and another piece explains the value of a "done list." A free downloadable guide to the seven types of rest is available at ELmag.com/rest.
