The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast

Text us a comment or question!If you’re reading this, chances are you’re interested in healthy aging. We can look at healthy aging as a spectrum – with sickness on the far left, and optimal health and vitality on the far right. And I think it’s fair to say that regardless of where you currently fall on this spectrum, you’d like to move further to the right, towards a life full of health and vitality.  But exactly HOW do we do that? And what separates those that are successful in this journey from those that seem to struggle? There’s so much conflicting information floating around – most of it from people and companies trying to sell us something – it’s no wonder that many of us struggle when it comes to long term sustainable health and fitness. Today we’re going to cut through the hype and clutter and focus on the essential elements of strong vital healthy aging. In other words – how to become ageless men and women. My guest today is Nate Wilkins. Nate is a health and wellness educator, renowned speaker, fitness trainer, and author. Nate is also the co-founder of Ageless Workout where he teaches that ageless is a mindset and that we can defy the aging process and live our healthiest, most vital lives as we age gracefully. Join us today as Nate share what it take to obtain – and maintain – an ageless mindset and body. You can connect with Nate in the following ways: Website: www.agelessworkout.comLinkedIn: Nathaniel WilkinsFacebook: @agelessworkoutTwitter: @agelessworkoutInstagram: @godfather_agelessworkout Sponsor Info: Energy Bitswww.silveredgepartners.comBe sure to use coupon code “silveredge” at checkout to save 20% off your purchase. Want more over 50 health and wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!I’m going to start today’s episode with what might be a difficult question. What do you see when you stand naked in front to the mirror? More importantly – what do you feel? What kind of a relationship do you have with your body? Is your body a peaceful home and a beautiful place to live?  Or are you at war with your body? Do you harbor feelings of hate, shame, guilt, or frustration with your body? What kind of relationship do you WANT to have with your body? How would you even go about starting to engage with a healthy relationship with your body? And then how would you foster that relationship? How do you get to a place where you are kind, caring, supportive, and nourishing to and with your body? In other words, how do you go from body war to body peace? My guest today is Nina Manolson. Nina is a body peace coach who helps people end the war with food and body and finally feel truly at home in their body. She has over 30 years of experience as a therapist and a health & wellness coach. Join us today as Nina helps us learn how to enter a new relationship with ourselves and our bodies, and how to finally end our body wars and create meaningful lasting body peace. You can connect with Nina in the following ways: Website - https://ninamanolson.comFacebook - @ninamanolsonbodypeaceFacebook Group - @nourishedwomannationInstagram - @ninamanolsonYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/NinaManolson Sponsor InfoNed - https://silveredgefitness.com/partners/Use coupon code “silveredge” at checkout for 15% off your order. Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!Hi folks, coach Kevin here. I’m on vacation this week, so we’re bringing you a classic rewind episode. This episode originally aired a little over a year ago, and we’ve gained a bunch of new listeners since then. This is one of the most inspirational guests we’ve had on this show – and even if you originally listened to this episode last year, it’s worth a second listen!  Our guest today is Julia Linn, and as you’ll soon hear, she has an amazing transformation story. Julia is a coach, author, speaker, double-organ transplant recipient, and all-around inspirational and uplifting human being. At the end of this interview, I asked Julia what was next for her and she mentioned that she was starting a coaching practice. And now a year later she has a new website and training practice. You can check out her new website at www.bodybeautylovelife.com – and you can sign up to get into her next 4-week Transformation Master Class as well, where you’ll learn how to spiral up your mindset, nutrition, exercise, and how to build beauty in mind, body and spirit. You can connect with Julia on Instagram @dolphinine.Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!What’s the difference between lean healthy fit people and those who seem to constantly struggle with weight issues? Why is it that so many of us have such a hard time of not necessarily losing weight, but of maintaining a lean healthy body? Is it a lack of willpower or motivation – maybe these folks lack the grit and the determination necessary for long term changes. Or maybe it’s lack of knowledge – if they just understood what foods to eat and what exercises to do that would lead them to the promised land of having a lean fit healthy body. Or maybe the problem is that the vast majority of nutrition and fitness advise is coming from people who are already lean fit and healthy. And what works to keep them lean and fit might be terrible advice for someone who has 30,40,50 or more pounds to lose – because they are in a different starting place.  Maybe it’s time to reexamine why diets fail, and more importantly, when they do fail, why do we blame the dieter for that failure? My guest today is Dr. David Prologo. David is a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist, and the author of the book titled The Catching Point Transformation: A Twelve-Week Weight Loss Strategy Based in Reality. He has spent more than twenty years specifically analyzing the phenomenon of diet attrition and why diets fail. Join us this week as David explains exactly how those of us who struggle with sustainable weight loss can meet themselves where they are and learn how to prepare themselves for a successful journey to obtaining – and maintaining – a lifelong lean, fit, and healthy body. You can connect with David in the following ways:Website - https://www.drprologo.com/Instagram - @jdprologoFacebook - @jdprologoTwitter - @jdprlogoBook – The Catching Point Transformation: A Twelve-Week Weight Loss Strategy Based in Reality Sponsor Info2Pood - https://2pood.com/Use coupon code “silveredge” to save 10% on your order. Want more over 50 health and wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!We live in some of the most divisive times in human history. Our cultural divide is wide and getting wider by the day. And the way we communicate with each other is changing – for the worse – to reflect this new reality. We’re separating the world into us and them – that is people who hold the same opinion and beliefs as us, and those morons, misfits, and menaces that hold differing opinions than our own.  But how would our health and well-being improve if we learned to communicate better? Heck, how would the WORLD change for the better? What if we learned to communicate with ourselves, our loved ones, and even those we may violently disagree with in a loving and intentional way? What would that look like? My guest this week is Cynthia Kane. Cynthia is a bestselling author and international communications coach, she’s the CEO of the Kane Intentional Communication Institute, and she’s also a certified meditation and mindfulness instructor. Join us this week as Cynthia shares tips and techniques to learn to become a more effective and intentional communicator – with yourself, your loved ones, and the world at large – in order to be the healthiest, most authentic version of yourself. You can connect with Cynthia in the following ways:Website - https://intentionalcommunicationinstitute.com/Instagram - @ cykane1Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064197697098YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-8tJU4FS6bWaeR8iA_e0fA Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!Where do you hurt? Is it your back? That’s common for those of us over 50. Or is it your knees? Maybe you experience pain when you lift your arms over your head – or maybe you no longer have that capability. Do you experience headaches? Many of us experience some type of chronic pain, and this pain often limits us from being as active as we’d like or participating in activities that we love. And perhaps we’ve lived with this pain for so long that we’ve developed a fatalistic attitude – perhaps you’ve written it off as, “this is just what happens as we get older.”Our guest today is here to change how we think about chronic aches and pains, and the steps we can take to finally – and permanently – learn to move pain free.My guest today is Rick Olderman. Rick is an author, speaker, personal trainer, and physical therapist with over 25 years of experience in helping people cure chronic pain permanently. Join us this week as Rick discusses how our day-to-day posture and movement creates pain, and more importantly what we can do to correct this and live healthy pain-free lives. Just one note before we dive into our episode today. Rick uses a model skeleton as a visual aid at several points during our discussion today. So, if you want to be able to see what he’s demonstrating, you can watch this episode over on the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast channel on YouTube.You can connect with Rick in the following ways:Main Website - https://rickolderman.com/Email rick@rickolderman.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/RickOldermanPTBooks - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rick+olderman+booksPrograms For individualshttps://go.rickolderman.com/Use coupon code “fixingyou” for 20% off at checkoutPrograms For practitionershttps://www.healpatientsfaster.com/Use “fixingyou” for 20% off at checkout Want more over 50 Health & Wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!Are you a chocolate lover? If so, you’re in for a treat today (pun intended!), because on today’s episode of the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast we’re gonna spend a lot of time talking about chocolate. We’ll discuss how it’s made as well as the health benefits.  So you may have seen chocolate – specifically dark chocolate – pop up on lists of superfoods. And it’s true, chocolate has many positive health properties. But here’s the problem – most of the chocolate we find on store shelves are a far cry from being even remotely healthy, primarily due to the added sugar.  But today we’re going to talk about chocolate that is not only delicious and decadent but is also low sugar and dairy free. Stick around, today’s episode is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! My guest today is Rym Selmi. Rym is a chocolate lover who’s on a quest to create the world’s best plant-based, low sugar chocolate treats. She’s the CEO of Miiro, whose mission is to make low sugar vegan chocolate as good – or even better – than the finest of chocolates from Europe where Rym grew up. Join us today as Rym shares her own personal journey of how food transformed her health and her life and eventually led to her becoming plant based, as well as how we can lead healthy balanced lives that include delicious, decadent chocolates! You can connect with Rym in the following ways: Website – www.miiro.coUse coupon code”kevin10” for a 10% discount on your order! Tick Tock - @miiro_plantbasedInstagram - @miiro_plantbased Sponsor Info:Living Libations - https://livinglibations.com/Use coupon code “silveredge” for 10% off your order at checkout! Want more over 50 health & wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!We’ve talked a good bit about diabetes on this podcast, mainly focusing on Type 2 diabetes and ways to prevent, arrest, or reverse it with lifestyle modifications. But we haven’t done an entire episode on diabetes – until now.  But instead of having a PhD diabetes expert come on and give us a clinical explanation of what exactly type 2 diabetes is and then give us steps on how we might prevent it, today we’ll discuss diabetes from the perspective of someone who has been living with type 2 diabetes for over a decade. We’ll hear his story of how he ended up with a diabetes diagnosis in his 40s, the challenges this brought into his life, and how it’s taken him more than 10 years to start to turn his lifestyle around – and the profound impact taking ownership of his health has had on his life. My guest today is Dobie Maxwell. Dobie is a published author of the true crime book “Monkey in the Middle” and has been a professional touring comedian and morning radio host since 1985. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2011 and continues to learn about it regularly while making sure to laugh about his triumphs and falls along the way. He is also the co-host of the podcast Just My Type, which challenges the perceptions of diabetes management by bringing a light-hearted tone to their discussion.  Join us this week as Dobie shares his personal story of being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes with humor and grace, and the steps he’s taking to manage and revers the disease. You can connect with Dobie in the following ways: Email – dobie@justmytypepodcast.comhttps://justmytypepodcast.com/https://dobiemaxwell.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/dobie.maxwell Sponsor Info:Silver Edge 30 Day Body Jumpstart Program:https://silveredgefitness.com/coaching/ Want more over 50 health and wellness goodness?

Text us a comment or question!Maybe it’s a generational thing, or perhaps it’s just me, but I’ve never been comfortable sharing my private life with others, especially areas that cause me discomfort or pain. In other words, I’ve never been very good at being vulnerable, showing weakness, or asking for help. And I’ll be honest with you, this has not served me particularly well.  I think I’ve always equated asking for help with weakness – with not being capable of figuring things out on my own. But our guest today flips this script upside down. He states that it takes great strength and courage to ask for help, to be vulnerable, and to optimize our mental health to become our best selves. My guest today is Ryan Kopyar. Ryan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Published Author, Hypnotherapist, and Holistic Healer, and today he is going to empower you with the tools you need to release fear anxiety, and sadness, and rewire you brain and body to feel happiness and love so that you can be ready for your best possible life. You can connect with Ryan here: Website - https://ryankopyarholistichealing.com/Email – ryan@ryankopyarholistichealing.comInstagram - @ryankopyarFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075584018072 Sponsor InfoEnergy Bits – www.silveredgefree.comRemember to use coupon code “silveredge” at checkout for 20% off your order! Want more over 50 inspiration and education?

Text us a comment or question!We’re now 127 episodes into this podcast, and we’ve had some great guests and lots of illuminating dialogue. We’ve discussed ways to improve your overall health and wellbeing, we’ve certainly talked quite a bit about nutrition and exercise, we’ve even touched on self-care and the importance of being your own health care advocate.  But you know what we haven’t talked much about? Mental health. I mean we may have touched briefly on the subject in the past, but we’ve not really had a meaningful discussion about our mental health. Our guest today is Dr. Gregory Scott Brown and he defines mental health as the state of living with purpose, balance, contentment, and hope – and he wants to put power of healing back in your control.  Dr. Brown is an integrative psychiatrist, a husband, wellness advocate, a columnist for Men’s Health magazine, and the author of the new book titled The Self-Healing Mind: An Essential Five-Step Practice for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression and Revitalizing Your Life. Join us today as Dr. Brown shares his own struggles with mental health, as well as practical tips that we can all apply to our lives right now to help improve our mental health. You can connect with Dr. Brown in the following ways: Website - https://www.gregoryscottbrown.com/Book - The Self-Healing Mind: An Essential Five-Step Practice for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression and Revitalizing Your Life by Dr. Gregory Scott Brownhttps://www.amazon.com/Self-Healing-Mind-Overcoming-Depression-Revitalizing-ebook/dp/B09BNGKH18/Instagram - @gregorysbrownmdFacebook - @GregorySBrownMD Sponsor Info:Ned – www.silveredgepartners.comDon’t forget to use coupon code “silveredge” at checkout for 15% off your order! Want to connect with more like-minded people?
