Text us a comment or question!We’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.

Text us a comment or question!I 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?

Text us a comment or question!The intro to the book The Power of Awe starts with a quote from Albert Einstein, and it reads:“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” So my question to you is simple – are you living as if everything is a miracle? Do you routinely pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe? I think it’s safe to say most of us could use a little help in the awe and wonder department. If this sounds like you stick around, we have a fantastic episode that just might radically change your life for the better! My guest today is Jake Eagle. Jake is a psychotherapist, mindfulness instructor, and co-author of the new book titled THE POWER OF AWE: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose—In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day.

Text us a comment or question!What role does technology play in your personal health and wellness journey? Do you wear some sort of fitness tracker? Maybe an Apple watch, a Fitbit, a Whoop strap, or an Oura ring? Do you count steps, track your calories and macros, or monitor how much deep sleep and REM sleep you’re getting each night? Do you have one of those fancy new scales – the kind that not only tells you your weight, but gives you a breakdown of muscle mass and body fat? Or maybe you have an online virtual coach. My guest today are Dr. Eric Tam and Lindsay Tullis. Dr. Tam is a physician at Mighty Health, where he drives business development and creates user content for the company through a medical lens. Lindsay is the lead health coach at Mighty Health, where she specializes in building sustainable habits and behavior change. Join us today as Dr. Tam and Lindsay discuss the importance of exercise and nutrition for healthy aging and how their company Mighty Health can help achieve your health and wellness goals. You can learn more about Mighty Health here: Website - https://mightyhealth.comInstagram – @mighty_healthYouTube - @mighty_healthFacebook - @mightyhealthapp Sponsor Info – Energy Bitswww.silveredgeprtners.comUse coupon code “silveredge” to save 20% Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!Imagine this scenario. You’re 30 pounds overweight, and in fact you’ve been overweight pretty much all of your adult life. Perhaps you’ve lost some or all of this weight several times in the last 25 years. The times you’ve tried dieting have been awful. You were constantly hungry, you were cranky, and a few weeks into it your sleep started to deteriorate, only making matters worse. You started to despise the treadmill. But you stuck with it through sheer determination and willpower. And you lost the weight and finally got to return to some sense of normalcy. But a year later you are right back where you started. And perhaps you start the cycle all over again. You feel frustrated and defeated, perhaps you’ve internalized your inability to permanently lose this excess weight as your personal failure.  But you’ve decided that this time is going to be different. New year, new you. Instead of following a diet you found online, or one that a friend suggested, you’ve hired a nutrition coach. And this nutrition coach isn’t cheap, but they have a great reputation and track record of helping people achieve long-term sustainable weight loss. And three months into this program you’ve been dieting and keeping up with your exercise. Nothing crazy, you’re a bit hungry some days, but it’s manageable. Your workouts are three weight training sessions a week, as well as one cardio session a week, and on the other days you’ve gotten in the habit of going on long walks with your dog. You feel great, and you realize that you’re halfway to your 30-pound weight loss goal. But then on your next check in call you coach tells you that they want you to stop dieting. In fact, they are going to increase the amount of food that you eat each day. Wait… what? Increase the amount you eat each day? But… won’t that cause you to gain weight. Your coach informs you that yes, you’ll likely see some weight gain, but just a little. And now you’re thinking hold on… I’m paying my coach to help me lose weight – not gain it back. What’s the deal here? I was doing so good. I’m halfway to my goal. Why in the world would I want to backtrack now? Your coach patiently explains that you’re moving into a reverse dieting phase tat will las for the next 15 weeks. And you’re thinking to yourself – reverse dieting – what is this BS? I’m here to lose weight – not gain it back!I’ve wanted to do an episode on reverse diets for a while now – what they are and why you might consider them. And one of the foremost experts on this subject is Holly Baxter. Holly is a 2x Natural World Champion Fitness Model and has a Master’s degree in Dietetics, is an Accredited Dietician, is a fitness educator, and along with her husband Layne Norton were early pioneers in field of reverse dieting - and they even wrote the definitive book on the subject titled The Complete Reverse Dieting Guide. 👉 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
