Text us a comment or question!Mind Pump is my favorite podcast. If you’re not familiar, these guys bill themselves as the world’s #1 fitness, health, and entertainment podcast. They have three hosts – Sal, Justin, and Adam – and they cover a wide variety of topics on their show from current events, their personal lives, and of course health and fitness. I love their grounded, no BS fitness advice. I’ve had Sal on this show in the past, and today we have Adam on to talk to us about how to prepare for your first body building show. Now I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that most of you – like me - are not currently considering preparing for a body building show. So why listen to this show? I think there are four reasons why you’ll love this episode.  Number one, maybe your bodybuilder curious. Have you ever wondered what it takes to transform your body in such a radical way?  Number two, there is a TON of useful information in this episode that us regular gym-goers can take away and apply to our health and wellness journeys.  Number three, maybe you have no intention whatsoever of competing in a bodybuilding competition, but you’d like to train like a bodybuilder and see just how far you can transform your body.  And the fourth and final reason is that maybe – just maybe – this episode will light a spark in you. That after this episode is over a seed will be planted, and you’ll find yourself audacious enough to toy with the idea of stepping onto a bodybuilding stage for the first time in your life. My guest today is Adam Schafer. Adam is an IFBB pro bodybuilder, a founding member of Mind Pump Media, and a co-host on the Mind Pump podcast. Join us today as Adam shares his personal fitness journey, tells us why you might – and might not – want to consider competing in your first bodybuilding show. And along the way he’ll give us tons of practical tips for getting into the absolute best shape of our lives. You can connect with Adam and Mind Pump here: Adam’s Instagram - @mindpumpadamMind Pump Instagram - @mindpumpmediaMind Pump Facebook - @mindpumpMind Pump YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@MindPumpShowMind Pump Podcast - https://mindpumppodcast.comYouTube – Posing with a Pro – First Time Bikini Competitor Advice - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TA2n3pdRy8Podcast Episode - The Resistance Training Revolution with Sal DiStefano - https://silveredgefitness.com/episode124/ Sponsor Info – MAPS Fitness Products – www.silveredgefree.comUse Coupon Code ANABOLIC23 for 50% off MAPS Anabolic all month long in January 2023 Want more over 50 Health & Wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!Are you sober curious? Have you ever seriously examined your relationship with alcohol – how it serves you and how it doesn’t? Today were going to examine your relationship with alcohol. No preaching or moralizing, just a surprisingly refreshing invitation to step back and objectively explore the role of alcohol in your life.  And of course we’ll mention the health benefits of reducing or eliminating alcohol – but that’s not really what this episode is about. This episode is about you stepping into your most beautiful life, your most beautiful self. It’s about examining your behaviors and being mindful. It’s about growth and self-experimentation. And ultimately, it’s about becoming – and owning – your most authentic self. My guest today is Karolina Rzadkowolska. Karolina is an alcohol-free empowerment expert and bestselling author who specializes in helping people change their relationship with alcohol for good, value their worth, and discover their greater purpose. Join us today as Karolina challenges our relationship with alcohol and helps us discover and unleash our greater purpose. Website - https://euphoricaf.comFacebook - @euphoricafInstagram - @euphoric.afBook – https://www.amazon.com/Euphoric-Ditch-Alcohol-Happier-Confident/dp/0785245847  Sponsor Information – Living Libationswww.silveredgefree.comUse coupon code “silveredge” for 10% off your order Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess that this won’t be the first time that you’ve made a health-related new year’s resolution. Most of us have – weight loss and exercise are the top two resolutions every year. And yet statistics show us that less than 5% of these resolutioners are successful long-term. So what  are these 5% doing differently? Today we have another episode of the Coach’s Corner today, so no guest – it’s just me – and we’ll be back next week with our normal interview format next week. But today I want to talk about how to get in the best shape of your life in this coming year. This podcast is being released on December 30, 2022, and many of you will be making health and fitness related resolutions, and I just wanted to lay out a framework for success. Join us today as we lay out step by step exactly how to smash your New Year’s resolutions and make this your healthiest year ever! I mentioned several of our free guides as well as our free Metabolic Assessment in this episode, and you can find those over at www.silveredgefree.com. If you’re interested in working with us, please send me an email at coach@silveredgefitness.com.  Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!You’ve undoubtedly heard it said that the best things in life are free. This expression is referring to things we all value, but that no amount of money can buy. Things like meaningful relationships with others and ourselves, a sense of meaning and purpose, and optimal health.  But I would submit that these things are not in fact free – but rather come at a price. The cost isn’t money though - these “best things” require constant work and effort on our part. They need to be developed and nurtured.  We all want a long healthy vital life for ourselves and our loved ones – but how do we go about obtaining these things? What’s the secret to lifelong vitality? My guest today is Neil Cannon. Neil is a health and wellness expert, speaker, and author of the #1 bestselling book The Vitality Secret: Defy Disease, Combat Common Illnesses and Stay Young. Join us today as Neil shares his four pillars of vitality and gives us practical advice on how we can apply these pillars to our everyday lives to live longer, healthier, vital lives.   Website - https://vitalitysecret.comThe Vitality Secret Podcast - https://vitalitysecret.com/podcast/Email – neil@vitalitysecret.com Book – The Vitality Secret - https://www.amazon.com/Vitality-Secret-Disease-Combat-Illnesses/dp/1530812046/Facebook - @NeilCannon1980Instagram - @NeilCannonVitalityYouTube - @NeilCannon80Twitter - @Vitality_Secret  Sponsor InfoNed – www.silveredgefitness.comUse Coupon code “silveredge” to save 15% off your first order  Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!Imagine this. You’re teaching your child to ride a bike. If you don’t have kids, just imagine a beloved child. You’ve just taken the training wheels off for the first time and you help them get on the bike. With your hand on one handlebar and the other on the back of the seat you slowly get them rolling. You tell your child you’re going to let go on the count of three. 1, 2, 3. You let go, and they wobble for exactly one half of a pedal rotation before falling over.  What is your reaction to this quote failure unquote? Do you tell this child they are an idiot and a failure? Do you tell them might as well forget they crazy dream of ever riding a bike like the other big kids? Of course not. You stand beside them and tell them that was a great start and that you’re proud of them, and then you help them get back on the bike to try again. So why is this so different from the way many of us talk to ourselves after a quote failure unquote? Maybe it’s time to relearn how to parent ourselves. Or maybe – as my guest today says – it’s time to learn how to kick ass compassionately, to celebrate small victories, learn from our mistakes and discover the power of the restart. My guest today is Kathleen Trotter. Kathleen first appeared on this show about a year ago, and she’s back again today to help us become our fittest future selves. Kathleen is a fitness expert, media personality, personal trainer, writer and author, and as you’ll soon hear, she is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about helping people live their best lives. She believes that we should live our lives by design, not by default to become our best – and fittest – selves. But that’s easier said than done. But not to fear – Kathleen is here to guide us on this journey.  Join us today as Kathleen shares her thoughts on why working is winning, the importance of perseverance, patience, and intentions, why we need to build systems now that will support our future selves, and the criticality of mindset and self-love. You can connect with Kathleen I the following ways: Website - www.kathleentrotter.comFacebook - @FITbyKathleenTInstagram - @fitbykathleentYouTube - Kathleen Trotter Personal Trainer - YouTubeTwitter - @fitbykathleent Kathleen’s first appearance on the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast - https://silveredgefitness.com/how-to-create-your-fittest-future-self-with-kathleen-trotter/Book - Finding Your Fit: A Compassionate Trainer’s Guide to Making Fitness a Lifelong Habit by Kathleen Trotter - https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Your-Fit-Compassionate-Trainers/dp/1459735196/Book - Your Fittest Future Self: Making Choices Today for a Happier, Healthier, Fitter Future You by Kathleen Trotter - https://www.amazon.com/Your-Fittest-Future-Self-Healthier/dp/1459741285/The Power of Habit Ted Talk w/ Charles Duhigg - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMbsGBlpP30Book – The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Habit-What-Lif👉 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

Text us a comment or question!If you’ve been a listener of this podcast for a while, you’ll know I’m a huge advocate for optimizing your health, for being your own health care advocate. I’ve been working on optimizing my health and fitness for over a decade. I dramatically improved my strength and fitness, I’ve cleaned up my diet and improved my gut health, I’ve built healthy sleep routines and dramatically improved my sleep quality, I’ve worked on managing my stress levels though prayer, meditation, and journaling, I’ve worked diligently on detoxing my environment – including my skincare and household cleaning products.  And the results of all this work have been nothing short of miraculous. I’ve gone from being as sick and unhealthy as I’ve ever been in my life to being in the beast shape of my life at age 58.  But here’s one area of my health that I’ve ignored – and that’s my hearing health. I’ve had mild to moderate hearing loss most of my adult life. But in spite of my family’s insistence, I’ve never addressed this important aspect of my health. There’s a running joke in my family every birthday and Christmas that this is the year I’m getting a hearing aid. But why have I ignored this one area of my health? I mean, what’s the big deal anyway?   If you or a loved one has a hard time hearing – turn up the volume and tune into this episode! My guest today is James Gilchrist. James is the CEO of Hear USA, one of America’s largest hearing care retailers. Join us today as James discusses the widespread – but often overlooked – problem of hearing loss, and why only 1 in 5 people with hearing loss actually take steps to correct this issue.  You can connect with James in the following ways: Website - https://www.hearusa.comInstagram - @hear_usaFacebook - @HearUSA Sponsor Info – Living Libationswww.silveredgepartners.comUse coupon code “silveredge” at checkout Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?
