Text us a comment or question!In this special bonus episode, I dive into a topic that’s been lighting up social media - our new U.S. Health Secretary, RFK Jr., and what his leadership could mean for the future of American health. After posting a now-viral image comparing outgoing Health Secretary Rachel Levine and incoming RFK Jr., I was shocked by the heated response it generated. Some people cheered, others raged, and many had strong opinions on both sides.   But here’s the real question: Can RFK Jr. actually make a difference in America’s declining health? Or is this just another political shake-up that won’t change the fact that we are sicker, fatter, and more dependent on big pharma than ever before?  In this episode, I break down:  ·      The viral social media post and why it sparked such a reaction  ·      The shocking reality of America’s declining metabolic health (only 6.8% of Americans are metabolically healthy!)  ·      The role of government in health policy - should we rely on politicians to fix our broken system?  ·      Why radical change is necessary to fight back against big food, big pharma, and government corruption  ·      What YOU can do to take control of your health and thrive, regardless of policy changes  If you’re frustrated with the current state of health in America and want to take charge of your own well-being, this episode is for you.     Support the Show:💪 If you enjoyed this episode, please help spread the word!  ⭐ Leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform  📢 Share this episode with a friend who needs to hear this!  🔔 Subscribe so you never miss a future episode   Thank you for tuning in—until next time, stay strong!👉 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!Join the 21-Day New Year, New You Challenge (starting January 6, 2025):https://go.silveredgefitness.com/new-year-new-you-25  The intro to the book The Power of Awe starts with a quote from Albert Einstein, and it reads:“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” So my question to you is simple – are you living as if everything is a miracle? Do you routinely pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe? I think it’s safe to say most of us could use a little help in the awe and wonder department. If this sounds like you stick around, we have a fantastic episode that just might radically change your life for the better! My guest today is Jake Eagle. Jake is a psychotherapist, mindfulness instructor, and co-author of the new book titled THE POWER OF AWE: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose—In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day. Join us today as Jake helps us micro dose mindfulness and harness the power of awe to make us healthier, happier humans. You can connect with Jake in the following ways. Website - https://thepowerofawe.comInstagram - @thepowerofawebookFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088073915335Book – The Power of Awe - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Awe-Overcome-Burnout-Purpose_In/dp/0306828979/ Want more over 50 health and wellness goodness?
