The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast

Send us a textMy guest this week on the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast is Steve Mansfield.  Steve is the 63 year old creator of the Mansfield method, which focuses on longevity and elite level fitness.  Steve grew up in rural eastern Kentucky where he spent his boyhood being outdoors.  Most of us can relate to a time when our parents would shoo us out of the house and tell us to go play, and to be back in time for dinner or before dark.  Steve got into martial arts at about age 8 and played spots in school and was a decent athlete - he went on to be a decathlete in college.  A knee injury eventually ended his decathlon career, but shortly after he found a new passion – rock climbing.  Join us this week as Steve explain what it means to be born to be fit, how to optimize nutrition for performance and longevity, and the criticality of motivation and passion as we age.  You can connect with Steve in the following ways: Website: www.mansfieldmethod.comEmail: steve@mansfieldmethod.comInstagram: @mansfieldmethodListen to the Over 50 Health & Wellness wherever you download podcasts or on my website at www.silver-edge.com.Want to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?

Send us a textI know I’ve asked this before, but what does a 72 year old woman look like? What is she capable of? What are her limitations? Many of us have preconceived notions of what a 72 year old could - or could not - do. When we conjure up images of 72 year olds, we might think of a bespeckled grandmotherly woman in a rocking chair with her knitting on her lap.  Certainly we wouldn't imagine this woman fighting. I mean, like really, actually physically fighting another person. Would we?My guest this week on the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast is Elaine Beiersdoerfer. Elaine is a 72 year old grandmother of seven, who regularly practices and competes in judo in jujitsu. She's four foot 11 and weighs in at just over a hundred pounds, and to call her spunky would fall woefully short. Join us this week as Elaine discusses how she took up judo and jiujitsu at age 69, and her thoughts on staying mentally and physically sharp as we age.  You can connect with Elaine on Instagram @jiujitsu_grandma.Listen wherever you download podcasts or on my website. Want to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?

Send us a textYou may be familiar with the saying, “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”  And putting aside for the moment the horrors of human-sponsored dog fighting, there’s some truth to this adage.  There’s something to be said for attitude, for determination and an never give up mindset.  You undoubtedly know people like this in your own life, or maybe this describes you. These are people who set audacious goals, who are willing to do what ever it takes, against all the odds, to achieve these goals.  These are these hard workers, the go getters.My guest this week on the Over 50 Health and Wellness podcast is Franklin Ausler Sr.  Franklin is a 63 year old professional bodybuilding, who’s been working out almost his entire life.  As a child his was very athletic, but was tall, skinny, and very introverted.  But his life was about to change – he was going to be introduced to the sport of bodybuilding – and even though he didn’t have any weight training experience or the build to be a bodybuilder, the hook was set and the arc of his life was forever changed.  You can connect with Franklin on Instagram @6.3fitfrank.You can listen to the Over 50 Health & Wellness show wherever you download podcasts or on my website.Want to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?
