The Truth About Keto, Protein, and Aging Strong with Dr. Annie Lampella

Text us a comment or question!If you’re in your 50s or 60s and feeling like your metabolism has slowed down, your energy isn’t what it used to be, or that stubborn weight is getting harder to lose… this episode is going to be a game-changer. Today I’m joined by Dr. Annie Lampella, the creator of KetoFocus, bestselling cookbook author, and nutrition expert with a deep background in genetics, metabolism, and biochemistry. After her second child, Annie lost 70 pounds at a time when “keto” barely existed in the mainstream… and over the last 13+ years, she’s refined that approach into a sustainable, high-protein, low-carb lifestyle that supports fat loss, muscle maintenance, energy, and longevity. In this episode, we cut through the confusion and talk about what actually matters for people over 50 who want to lose fat, build muscle, and age strong. In This Episode, You’ll Learn:Why keto worked for Annie - and why it’s evolved into a more balanced low-carb, high-protein approachThe truth about ketosis, insulin, metabolic flexibility, and fat-burning (made simple and practical)Why strict keto is hard to sustain long-term - and what to do insteadHow carbs fit into a healthy diet after 50 (and what it means to “earn your carbs”)The #1 macronutrient most people over 50 are severely undereatingWhy protein is absolutely essential for preventing muscle loss, increasing strength, and improving metabolismHow aging affects appetite, digestion, and protein absorption - and why that means you need more protein, not lessThe biggest breakfast mistakes people make - and how to hit 30–40 grams of protein every morningSimple, high-protein meal ideas, snacks, and hacks you can start using todayHow to protect your muscles, bones, balance, and independence as you ageAnnie’s favorite protein sources, protein powders, and daily habitsWhy strength training + high protein is the ultimate anti-aging combo Why This Matters for Anyone Over 50Most men and women in their 50s and 60s aren’t struggling because of age - they’re struggling because of decades of low-protein, low-muscle, high-carb, highly processed eating. The good news? You can reverse so much of this with the right nutrition and training strategy. Annie and I break down exactly how to get started in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and enjoyable. Connect with Annie:Website: https://www.ketofocus.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ketofocus/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ketofocusCookbook - Protein Packed: https://www.amazon.com/Protein-Packed-Low-Carb-High-Protein-Longevity/dp/1628605642/ Ready to Build a Lean, Strong, Capable Body in the Second Half of Life?If you want help implementing this stuff in a personalized, sustainable way, head over to http://www.silveredgefitness.com to learn more about our coaching programs.👉 Join The Silver Edge Collective today and start building a lean, strong, healthy body you love for the rest of your life! https://go.silveredgefitness.com/silver-edge-collective

Hormones, Heavy Metals & the Last 10 Pounds: Your Questions Answered

Text us a comment or question!This week on then Monday Mile edition of the Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, we’re diving into YOUR questions — the real, messy, “why is my body doing this?” stuff that so many men and women over 50 struggle with. From confusing lab results to hormonal shifts to the dreaded “last 10 pounds,” we dig into what actually matters for sustainable fat loss and vibrant health… and what’s just expensive noise. If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office thinking, “My labs look fine, but I feel terrible,” or wondered whether peptides, hormone therapy, or heavy-metal testing are worth your time and money, this episode will cut through the confusion with clear, honest answers. Inside This Episode:🔥 The Lab Tests Your Doctor Probably Isn’t RunningWe cover why the standard annual blood panel misses critical markers — and which tests actually give you a fuller picture of energy, vitality, and long-term health. 🔥 Hormones vs. Habits: What REALLY Moves the NeedleTestosterone, thyroid, cortisol — we break down the heavy hitters, what matters, and what you don’t need to obsess about (or biohack to death). 🔥 Heavy Metals & Toxicity: Should You Be Worried?We explore when these tests are useful… and when they’re just another shiny distraction dressed up as “optimization.” 🔥 Calories, TDEE, and Why 825 Isn’t Your Number (I Promise)A listener running 825 calories/day through a calculator sparks a conversation about metabolic math, brain-based resistance, and the psychology behind chronic undereating. 🔥 The Real Reason the Last 10 Pounds Are So HardSpoiler: It’s not your age. It’s not your genetics. And it’s definitely not because you need a detox tea. We unpack the mindset, metabolic factors, and consistency patterns behind those final stubborn pounds. 🔥 Chasing Challenges vs. Building Real ProgressIf you’ve ever hopped from program to program (or from challenge to cleanse to 30-day reset), we’ll talk about why that keeps you stuck — and how to get out of the cycle for good. Why This Episode MattersBecause midlife shouldn’t feel like a slow decline. You deserve to feel strong, energized, and capable — and you deserve clarity instead of confusion. This episode will help you make better decisions, avoid wasted money, and focus on the things that truly matter for sustainable results. Listen NowThis is one of the most practical and eye-opening Q&A episodes we’ve done — and it’s guaranteed to give you at least one “ah-ha!” moment that changes the way you look at your health. We mentioned the following in our discussion:MyFitness Pal - https://www.myfitnesspal.comEquilife Minerals & Metals Test - https://equi.life/products/hair-tissue-mineral-analysis-test?irad=909066&irmp=5551213Private MD Labs Men’s Hormone Panel - https://www.privatemdlabs.com/hormone-testing-for-men?ref=sidebar#details-3879Private MD Labs Women’s Hormone Panel - https://www.privatemdlabs.com/lp/female-hormone-testing.php?ref=sidebar#details-4169👉 Join The Silver Edge Collective today and start building a lean, strong, healthy body you love for the rest of your life! https://go.silveredgefitness.com/silver-edge-collective
