The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast

Text us a comment or question!Did you know that 10,000 men and women turn retirement age every day? The average age for men to retire here in the US is 65, and 62 for women. When most of us think about retirement planning, our minds default to financial planning. And while addressing financial realities and having a financial gameplan is a critical part of a successful retirement – it’s only a piece of the puzzle, and we’re not taking about that today. We’re going to approach retirement planning from angle that most of us haven’t considered. Today we’re taking about coming up with a roadmap for ensuring a successful transition into retirement by considering 4 key areas: identity, purpose, community, and connection. So if retirement is in your future – or even if you’ve already retired – stick around, we’re going to give you some great tips on how to successfully build a roadmap to a healthy and fulfilling retirement! My guest today is John Briggs. John is the founder and Managing Partner of Authentica, where he spends most of his time in keynotes, workshops and retreats helping companies reach their aspired culture through the intentional development of their people. As you’ll hear in this episode, John’s most recent project is the Covered Bridge program which helps people like you and me successfully navigate life transitions. You can connect with John and learn more about the Covered Bridge program here: Covered Bridge Website - https://coveredbridgeprogram.comAuthentica Website - https://authenticausa.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbriggs3/ John mentioned the following resources: Book - Life Is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age by Bruce Feller - https://www.amazon.com/Life-Transitions-Mastering-Change-Any/dp/1101980516/Book - From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life by Arthur Brooks - https://www.amazon.com/From-Strength-to/dp/1472989759/Book - Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek - https://www.amazon.com/Start-Why-Leaders-Inspire-Everyone/dp/1591846447/Book – The Good Life by Dr. Robert Waldinger & Dr. Marc Schulz - https://www.amazon.com/The-Good-Life/dp/1668022591/    Ready to transform your body and your life?

Text us a comment or question!If 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?
