Zane Griggs: How To Kick Ass After Age 50
The B.rad Podcast
Tracking Metrics for Optimal Well-being
They discuss how technology provides insights beyond just waking up feeling okay or a little sluggish. They talk about how metrics such as heart rate and body temperature can help identify what factors may have affected their well-being. They mention the importance of tracking metrics to understand what lifestyle habits may be impacting their deep sleep and overall health.
Zane Griggs stops by the show to talk about kicking ass after 50—which also happens to be the title of his new book!
As the host of the podcast Healthy AF (which stands for After Fifty), Zane and I have a lot to talk about and we dive into a few topics related to the subject of healthy aging—the necessary recalibrations, monitoring what he considers the most important metric (sleep), and the importance of looking at the big picture obligation of aging gracefully and managing stress so we are excellent not just in our fitness endeavors, but also in our ability to relax, unwind, and have some down time.
Enjoy this easy-to-follow conversation as Zane reveals how you can prioritize your daily behaviors effectively while keeping your fitness, health, and cognitive peak performance humming along nicely, as well as why he stopped adhering to his previously restrictive diet!
