Send us a textThis week, we ventured into a realm that's both ancient and cutting-edge – the world of functional mushrooms, explored through the entrepreneurial journey of cousins Stephanie Moyal and Jake Mellman, co-founders of Troop. Why mushrooms, you might ask? Well, the answer is as fascinating as it is profound. In our quest to remain vibrant and healthy in the second half of our lives, we often overlook nature's simple solutions. Mushrooms, as I've learned from Stephanie and Jake, are not just culinary delights but are packed with remarkable health benefits. Our conversation took an exciting turn as we delved into the origins of Troop. This wasn't just a business talk; it was a story of transformation, resilience, and discovery. Stephanie and Jake shared how their personal experiences during COVID led them to explore the healing properties of mushrooms. From experimenting with mushroom cultivation in a closet to creating one of the most innovative health-focused brands today, their journey is nothing short of inspiring. But this episode isn't just about Troop's journey. It's a revelation of the untapped potential of mushrooms in enhancing our health, especially as we age. We explored how these functional fungi can boost our immune system, enhance brain health, and potentially aid in the recovery process from various health challenges. For anyone over 50 looking to embrace a healthier, more vibrant lifestyle, this episode is a must-listen. It's an invitation to rethink our approach to wellness and to consider nature's humble yet powerful solutions. I invite you to join us in this fascinating discussion and discover how Troop is making mushrooms approachable and enjoyable.

Send us a textIn this no-holds-barred episode, I expose the propaganda war being waged for control over our health and independence. I invite my listeners to join me in an uprising - a rebel alliance - against the lizard people who want to keep us fat, sick, and reliant on their system.   In this episode, I tackle the blatantly misleading headlines about homegrown vegetables having a bigger carbon footprint than industrial farming. I break down the actual EPA statistics about the percent of greenhouse gases coming from cattle. Spoiler alert - it's not the main culprit. The lizard people just want you to think it is so they can control the food supply and get rich off unsustainable alternatives like lab-grown meat. This is just one example of the all-out lies and manipulation designed to deteriorate our health - so we feed the medical-pharma industrial complex. I expose the unreal amounts of money being made by keeping us unhealthy - we're talking billions and trillions here. They encourage us to eat nutrient-poor processed foods, sit too much, and fill our homes with toxins. Then sell us medications and treatments when we inevitably get sick. It's a vicious cycle, but it keeps their pockets lined.   In this call-to-action episode, I equip my listeners with the knowledge needed to opt out of the matrix. I give practical tips for taking health into our own hands - eating real food, getting strong, becoming our own healthcare advocates. Just imagine what would happen if we all got truly healthy - it would mean trillions of dollars lost for big medicine and pharma. Now that's a rebel uprising! I invite you to listen to the full riveting episode and join the secret Facebook group where the resistance is organizing. You can find all the links at [my website]. Say no to the lizard people and their insidious propaganda. Join me in the lean, strong rebellion - we are stronger than they want us to believe. Carol Adams YouTube Videohttps://youtu.be/UiRx62VGl8Q?si=s8ZKnioKA9AAFjsqWant to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?

Send us a textI’m thrilled to share my latest podcast episode with an incredibly inspiring guest, Adrian “AJ” Jones. AJ had a massive heart attack at age 47 that completely changed the trajectory of his life. What emerged was a calling to help others bring more meaning and vitality into their second act.  In my conversation with AJ, we explore that pivotal moment when he found himself suddenly confronting his mortality. The clarity it triggered sent him on a quest to discover his true purpose and live out the rest of his years to the fullest.  AJ’s message particularly resonates with me and my audience of over-50s who are searching for what’s next. His own second chance at life ignited a passion for inspiring personal growth and transformation. This led him to leave corporate finance to launch a company called MORE aimed at helping Gen Xers flourish in midlife.  In the episode, AJ shares vulnerably about the loneliness epidemic plaguing modern middle age. He’s on a mission to create caring community for people trying to navigate major life transitions like empty nesting, retirement, loss of loved ones, and career reinvention.  I loved drilling into specifics about how MORE facilitates shared experiences, small group coaching, and online connection to foster personal breakthroughs. If you, like me, feel called to live your 50s, 60s and beyond with more purpose, meaning, and fulfillment – this conversation is sure to spark some “YES” energy about reigniting your potential.  I wholeheartedly believe anyone listening will feel moved, seen, and uplifted by AJ’s wisdom around midlife metamorphosis. Please have a listen and let the inspiration wash over you! Then drop me a note – I’d love to hear your key takeaways. You can learn more about AJ and MORE here: Website:www.wearemore.io Linked In:www.linkedin.com/in/adrian-jones-765a37/ Book – The Second Mountain by David Brookswww.amazon.com/Second-Mountain-Quest-Moral-Life/dp/0812983424/Want to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?

Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Over 50 Health and Wellness Podcast, I dive into the important yet rarely discussed topic of body dysmorphia. I start by getting vulnerable and sharing my own lifelong journey with body image issues, from feeling skinny and weak as a teenager to battling weight gain and “man boobs” in my 40s.  I explain that body dysmorphia doesn’t discriminate – it can affect people of all ages and body types. As we age, it’s easy to become distressed over the natural changes happening to our bodies. But it goes beyond just vanity - our body image is connected to our self-perception and sense of belonging in the world.   First, I define body dysmorphia as a disorder where you obsess over minor or even nonexistent flaws in your appearance. I emphasize that the first step is simply recognizing when our perceptions are distorted. Then, I share practical strategies for overcoming body dysmorphia: practicing mindfulness, expressing gratitude for what our bodies can do, setting reasonable fitness goals focused on health rather than looks alone, and seeking professional help from a counselor or support group. Next, I examine the double-edged sword of fitness. Exercise can boost mood and body confidence, but it can also trigger comparison and negative self-talk if we become preoccupied with chasing an unrealistic image. I encourage listeners to celebrate fitness accomplishments like walking farther or lifting heavier. Remind yourself that you’re not in competition with anyone but your own former self.  In closing, I reiterate that overcoming body dysmorphia is an ongoing journey. The key is self-awareness, patience, and self-compassion. I want listeners to focus on becoming the healthiest version of themselves at this stage of life. Our bodies and journeys are unique and beautiful. Sponsor Information – Living Libationswww.silveredgefree.com Nina Manolson Podcast - From Body-War to Body-Peacehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-50-health-wellness-podcast/id1510989063?i=1000577211290Want to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?

Send us a textToday’s podcast episode is all about how to get in killer shape in your 50s, 60s, and yeah even your 70s. As someone nearly 60 myself trying to stay fit and healthy, I've picked up a thing or two on this whole healthy aging game.  And let me tell you, a lot of folks think it's all downhill after 50 when it comes to your strength and health. But from my experience? Complete BS. With the right changes to how you eat, exercise, manage stress - you can absolutely be in the best shape of your life even as you get older. In today’s show I break it down into what I call the three pillars of strong healthy aging - movement, nutrition, and recovery. I get into real practical steps - how walking needs to be your jam, why you gotta start smashing way more protein, why tracking your food is a game-changer. Oh and real talk - chronic cardio is not your friend! I speak from experience here.  Some of the stuff that I really geeked out on is why strength training is so crucial to stay powered up as you age. And I get into the science about how our muscle fibers change as we get older. Pretty fascinating if you're a fitness nerd like me! I also talk about how you gotta stop making changes from a place of feeling bad about your body - master your mindset first y'all! I live this stuff but even I struggled HARD with lame fitness habits and stupid fad diets myself back in the day. I made this podcast to keep it real with people looking to make changes. Whether you need an overhaul or just wanna take your health up a notch, have a listen! I mentioned the following resources during this episode: Silver Edge 1-on-1 online coachinghttps://silveredgefitness.com/coaching/ Silver Edge Metabolic Assessmenthttps://silveredge.ac-page.com/metabolic-assessment Free Guideshttps://silveredgefitness.com/free/ Silver Edge free Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/silveredgefitness Legion Athletics supplementshttps://legionathletics.rfrl.co/g478nWant to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?
