The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast

Send us a textIf you’re a regular listener of this show, you know we’re big fans of building muscle over 50. As Dr. Gabrielle Lyon tells us, muscle is the organ of longevity. Muscle helps keep us functioning at a high level as we age, it gives us a lean toned body, and we know that generally speaking, more muscle means a faster metabolism which means more calories burned per day. But gaining muscle can be difficult. It requires some form of resistance training – typically with weights. It requires progressive overload, and it requires us to fuel ourselves properly to create an environment conducive to muscle growth. But what if there was a shortcut, a hack so to speak? What if there was something we could do – not to replace strength training – but to complement and enhance the hard work we do in the gym that required very minimal additional effort on our part? Sound too good to be true? Stick around, we’re gonna deep dive into this technology and show you exactly how to build and keep muscle as you age. My guest today is Steven Munatones. Stephen is the CEO and co-founder of KAATSU which is a pioneer in the blood flow restriction market. Steven has introduced KAATSU successfully to collegiate and professional sports teams, branches of US military, and as you’ll soon hear – to a large population of people just like you and me. Steven is an accomplished athlete himself. He was a NCAA Division I water polo player and swimmer, he’s a Guinness World Record holder, inductee in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the Ice Swimming Hall of Fame, and the recipient of the Poseidon Award from the International Swimming Hall of Fame. He coached the USA Swimming national team at 9 international competitions, including 4 world championships, served as an NBC commentator at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and founded WOWSA, the World Open Water Swimming Association.  Join us today as Steven shares exactly how we might harness blood flow restriction technology for recovery, rehabilitation, performance, and longevity. I started our conversation by asking Steven how he got interested in blood flow restriction. Website - https://www.kaatsu.comInstagram - @KAATSUglobalFacebook - @kaatsuYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/KAATSUGlobalLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/munatones/Email – info@kaatsu.com Ready to transform your body and your life?

So this week I want to give you a quick update on what’s happening over here at the Silver Edge, and then I want to share a live training I did over in our private Facebook group last week. The title of that training was 8 Weeks to Your Best Summer Body. I did have slides for this training, and you’ll hear me refer to them a couple of times, but I think the gist of what I’m saying will come across just fine in this audio only format.  Social Media Shout-OutsBen Patrick – Instagram @kneesovertoesguyNajah Hatahet – Instagram @najah.strength Download the Over 50 Guide to Optimizing Your Metabolismhttps://silveredge.ac-page.com/optimize-metabolism Book Your Free Metabolic Assessment Herehttps://silveredge.ac-page.com/metabolic-assessment Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Send us a textWe’re all at the age where – if we’re lucky enough to still have our parents with us – we’re watching them grow old., and we see ourselves in them. For some of you this might be in inspiration. Perhaps your parents are active and vital and are enjoying this phase of their lives. But for others the picture might not be so bright. Perhaps you’ve watched your parents struggle with health issues and grow weak and frail in front of your very eyes. And their quality of life seems to revolve around medical issues and navigating their limitations. My guest today is a geriatric pharmacist who works in assisted care facilities, and if you want to learn how to live your life now so you don’t end up meeting her in one of her homes in the future, you’re in the right place. My guest today is Amy Wilson.

Send us a textI often like to say that while nutritional science and be vastly complex, eating healthy should be quite simple.  Most of us know the types of foods we should avoid and the types of foods that nourish our bodies and our minds. So why do so many of us struggle with maintaining a healthy weight? Why are so many of us sick? And why are metabolic illnesses – the so-called lifestyle diseases - on the rise at such alarming rates in spite of the fantastic advances in technology and medicine?  Today I want to invite into an in-depth discussion on the topic of functional medicine and more specifically functional nutrition. I want you to step back and reimagine medicine and nutrition and their role in healthy aging. To help you navigate the messy worlds of medicine, science, popular media, and your own bio-individuality. My guest today is Andrea Nakayama. Andrea is the founder of Functional Nutrition Alliance, a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator, and the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast. Andrea is leading thousands of students and practitioners around the globe in a revolution to offer better solutions to the growing chronic illness epidemic by highlighting the importance of systems biology, root cause methodology, and therapeutic partnerships, and today she is going to help us reclaim ownership of our health. Join us today as we explore the realm of functional nutrition and how to apply what we learn to our lives for optimal health as we age. You can connect with Andrea in the following ways: Main Website - https://www.andreanakayama.comWebsite for Health Practitioners - https://www.fxnutrition.com Podcast: 15-Minute MatrixTwitter: @andreanakayamaInstagram: @andreanakayamaYouTube: Functional Nutrition AlliancePinterestFacebookLinkedInSubstack Ready to transform your body and your life?
