I start out by talking about why I feel like fat loss challenges are a really bad idea, and then proceed to pitch you on why you should join our 21-Day Fat Loss Challenge. Then I talk a bit about my recent vacation to Mexico – I stayed in one of those all-inclusive resorts that was pretty much a MTV spring break for grandparents, and then I finish up by giving an update on my progress of training like a bodybuilder. Please join our 21-Day Fat Loss Challenge!

Text us a comment or question!Today we’re going to talk about the state of cancer prevention and treatment. Specifically, were going to talk about integrative medicine and holistic oncology, as these are emerging as important movements in the field of cancer prevention and treatment. Integrative medicine and holistic oncology recognize that cancer treatment requires more than just eradicating cancer cells. It involves treating the whole person, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the disease.  These approaches have been shown to improve quality of life and reduce symptoms for cancer patients, and they help patients take a more active role in their own care. They also empower patients to make choices about their own health, incorporating therapies and practices that align with their values and preferences. But most of all, these approaches improve outcomes. Studies have shown that integrative medicine and holistic oncology can improve survival rates for cancer patients, as well as reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, and provide the patient with a better overall experience and quality of life. Cancer can be a heavy subject, but stick around, in addition to cutting edge information on the current state of cancer prevention and treatment – plenty of hope to be found in this episode. My guest today is Dr. Nathan Goodyear. Dr. Goodyear is the Medical Director of Brio Medical in Scottsdale, AZ, and is a renowned expert in holistic oncology, cancer prevention, and alternative cancer treatments. In this episode, we delve into the benefits of a holistic approach to cancer care, including the role of nutrition, lifestyle changes, and alternative therapies. We also discuss the latest advancements in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment. Whether you or a loved one are currently battling cancer or looking for ways to reduce your risk, this episode is packed with valuable insights that can help you take control of your health and wellbeing.  You can connect with Dr. Goodyear here: Website - https://drgoodyear.comWebsite - https://brio-medical.comPodcast – Practicing with Dr. GoodyearInstagram - @dr.goodyearTwitter - @drgoodyearLinkedIn – drnathangoodyearFacebook – DrNathanGoodyear Sponsor Information – The Silver EdgeLearn more at https://silveredgefitness.com/coaching/ Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!Why do we eat?  On the surface it seems like a simple question – we eat because it’s biologically necessary for our survival.  But for us humans, it’s a bit more complex than that.  We eat for a number of reasons.  We eat for social and emotional reasons, to celebrate big occasions, or as solace when we’re depressed or anxious.  Some of us have religious or ethical guidelines for eating.  Many of you listening to this podcast eat to fuel your fitness goals.  Powerlifters, body-builders, endurance athletes, and Crossfitters all eat in a prescribed manner to fuel their activity.  Many of us eat in order to lose – or gain – weight. If you’re at all interested in health and fitness, then you care about nutrition and would like the way you eat help you achieve your body composition or athletic goals.  Or perhaps your goals aren’t as ambitious, maybe you just want to eat healthier in order to be healthier.  Today we’re going to talk about another reason to eat – to optimize your sexual health.My guest today on the Over 50 Health & Wellness show is Christine DeLozier. Christine is an acupuncturist and herbalist who specializes in sexual health. She holds master's degrees in acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and counseling, and is a certified holistic nutrition counselor. She is the author of the book titled Diet for Great Sex: Food for Male and Female Sexual Health, which uses scientific evidence to uncover the best dietary habits for great sex merging modern science with traditional Chinese medicine.  Join us this week as Christine discusses in detail what we should all be eating – and why – in order to optimize ourselves for great sex!Visit Christine’s website at www.dietforgreatsex.comYou can buy Christine’s book Diet for Great Sex at Amazon or your favorite book sellerInstagram @dietforgreatsexChristine mentioned Host Defense during this episode.  You can learn more at www.hostdefense.com. Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?
