Text us a comment or question!You may have heard the term mind-body connection – but what does that really mean? It means that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can positively - or negatively - affect our biological functioning. In other words, our minds can affect how healthy our bodies are! And on the flip side, what we eat and how and how much we move can impact our mental state - either positively or negatively, and this results in a complex interrelationship between our minds and bodies.But in today’s frantic fast-paced world, many of us have lost this fundamental connection with our selves. We’re simply too busy, too stressed out, too dissociated, to be able to “hear” our bodies signals. My guest today wants to change that, and the tool she uses is a modality called Pilates. You’re probably familiar with the term, but how much do you really know about the benefits of a Pilates practice? My guest today is Emma Jory. Emma is a certified Pilates Instructor, Yoga instructor, and Health Coach, and her passion is helping people reduce pain, improve flexibility, increase core strength and posture, and most of all to help them learn to love their body. Join us this week as Emma shares how – and why - to incorporate Pilates into our life to reconnect with our bodies and live our healthiest lives.Connect with Emma:Website - https://epilatesonline.com/Free 6-Day Body Toning Series - https://epilatesonline.com/free-6-day-body-toning-series/Instagram - @epilatesonlineFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/epilatesonlineFacebook Core Fit Club group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/epilatescorefitclub/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcd28tIPhS8-oehfp-ym-yw Sponsor InfoWebsite – https://www.energybits.com/Vitality Bits – https://www.energybits.com/vitalitybits.htm*Make sure you use coupon code “silveredge” at checkout for 20% off your order. Join the Over 50 Lean Body Blueprint group on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/3172506236368032👉 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!Do you remember the cartoon the Jetsons? How everything seemed so futuristic? And while we’re still aways from flying cars and having Rosie the robot clean our houses and wait on our beckon call, the future is here and it’s incredible. The Jetsons released their first episode 60 years ago back in 1962. Back before the internet. Before cell phones. Before 8 tracks, CDs, VHS tapes or DVDs. Before fax machines. And way before we had the ability to bank your stem cells and cryogenically freeze them for future use.My guest today is Dr. Drew Taylor. Drew is the co-founder and CEO of Acorn Biolabs, which is a company specializing in helping people preserve their own cells for help them prepare for future needs. Drew was a standout colligate athlete and professional baseball player, but ultimately got his PhD in biomedical engineering and now leads the charge to bringing accessible, non-invasive and affordable live cell collection and preservation to everyone.Join us this week as Drew shares how he went from a baseball player to CEO of a biomedical startup, and why people like you and me (and our children and grandchildren) should consider banking our cells today for a healthier tomorrow. I started our interview by asking Drew how he got interested in cell banking.You can connect with Drew and Acorn Biolabs in the following ways:Acorn BiolabsWebsite - https://get.acorn.me/Instagram – @acornbiolabsFacebook - @acornbiolabsDr. Drew TaylorTwitter – @DrewWTaylorInstagram - @drdrewtaylor Join the Over 50 Lean Body Blueprint private Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/3172506236368032👉 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!Many of us lose our flexibility and mobility as we age, and most of us consider this a normal part of the aging process. With chronic pain, stress and busy lifestyles, it’s never been more difficult to take care of our bodies, but healthy movement and taking care of our bodies should be a part of our daily self-care routine.The ability to move around freely is something that most of us take for granted. But mobility can be a significant challenge as we age. Stiffness, pain, and reduced ranges of motion can make it difficult to perform everyday activities, even such simple things as getting out of a chair, climbing stairs, or even putting dishes into an overhead cupboard. A loss of mobility can also lead to social isolation and depression and can increase the risk of falls and injuries. But losing flexibility and mobility isn’t a foregone conclusion as we age. Improving and maintaining mobility can help to improve our balance and coordination and can help to increase our flexibility and range of motion, making it easier to perform everyday activities, as well as continue living an active lifestyle and doing the things we love.Fortunately, there are a number of ways to improve mobility, recover from life’s stresses, relieve chronic pain, and to avoid injury as we age, and our guest today is going to teach you how to improve mobility and optimize recovery. My guest today is Kody Olinger. Kody is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach who also holds certifications as a Fascial Stretch Specialist. He has been working as a coach and therapist for over 5 years serving people from all walks of life. Kody’s clients include NFL Pro-Bowlers, MLB Pitchers, USA Olympic Bobsledders, MMA Fighters, as well as everyday people like you and me.Join us this week as Kody shares his insights on how we can we can improve flexibility and mobility as we age, so that we can avoid injury and move pain free.Connect with Kody:Website - https://korecovery.net/Instagram - @ko_stretchFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/kodFSTInstagram - @ko_stretchhttps://korecovery.net/ Kody mentioned the following resources:Fitness Quest 10 Gym - https://fitnessquest10.com/Stretch to Win Institute - https://stretchtowin.com/page/homepage Sponsor InformationNed Website - https://helloned.com/*Use coupon code “silveredge” at checkout to save 15% off your first order. Join the Over 50 Lean Body Blueprint Facebook Group! - https://www.facebook.com/groups/3172506236368032👉 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!Here’s a question for you – why do we get fat? As Americans we’ve gotten heavier over the past century, and disease rates have skyrocketed. There have been many theories: We’re eating too much fat. Too many carbs. An excess of sugar.

Dr. Johnson is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado and is a clinician, educator, and researcher.

Text us a comment or question!Imagine this, you’re in your thirties, you’re a single mom with three kids, and you start experiencing pain and fatigue – more than the normal amount one would expect in these trying circumstances. So you go to the doctor and get diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and your told that there’s nothing you can do to reverse the process – the best the doctors can do is give you medication to help alleviate some to the symptoms. And your outlook is grim – the doctor has told you that you’ll continue to decline, that your pain, discomfort, and exhaustion will inevitably get worse. And since the doctors are the experts, you accept this prognosis, and for the next decade your condition deteriorates, and you end up accumulating 10 different medications to try and alleviate some of the symptoms. And you’re only in your forties. Things are looking grim – very grim. Is there any hope for some return to normalcy? My guest today says absolutely yes - you can take control of your symptoms and turn your life around.My guest today is Julie Michelsen.

Text us a comment or question!Let me ask you a question – are you tired of dieting? Are you frustrated with your lack of progress, no matter how hard you seem to try? Well, maybe it's time to stop the diet madness and start living a life that you truly love. Forget about weight loss for a minute, and focus on creating a life that is enjoyable and fulfilling – a life that brings you real, meaningful joy. My guest today says that when you do that, the weight will lose itself.My guest today is Camille Martin. Camille is a registered dietitian, health blogger, and senior technical editor for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She is also a former chronic dieter who wasted nearly 25 years of her life dieting. When she finally quit dieting and started setting and achieving more meaningful goals, she lost weight without trying. She also made powerful connections between our obsession to lose weight and the cultural conditioning that keeps us locked in a prison of silence, shame, and limitation. In her book, Love To Lose: Love Your Life and Watch the Weight Lose Itself, she uses what she learned on her own weight-loss journey to help others stop wasting their lives on a diet, embrace everything about themselves, achieve what they’re truly capable of − and lose weight in the process. Below is Camille’s contact information as well as links to the references she mentioned in this episode:Website – www.camillemartinrd.comInstagram – @camille_martin_rdFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/camillemartinrdYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBqLdQNIiM_-ieGN48LuwXgBook – The Power of Habit by James Duhigg - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Habit-What-Life-Business/dp/081298160XBook – Atomic Habits by James Clear - https://jamesclear.com/Free Guide – Set Up Your Kitchen for Weight Loss Success – https://camillemartinrd.com/kitchen-guide/ Sponsor InformationLiving Libations - https://livinglibations.com/Use coupon code “silveredge” at checkout to save 10% on your order. Silver Edge InformationPrivate Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/3172506236368032Additional Free Resources – www.silveredgefree.com👉 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
