Text us a comment or question!This episode originally aired in February 2022. Diets have gotten a bad rap recently. And it's easy to see why. Research shows that the vast majority of dieters who lose weight gain it all back within 12 months, and sometimes with a little extra as an added bonus. More people than ever before are overweight, and more people than ever before are going on diets. What's going on here? That fact that Americans collectively lose millions of pounds every year would suggest that diets do in fact work. So why are we continually struggling with long term sustainable weight loss? What if diets aren't addressing the real problem? Us humans are complex emotional creatures, and we eat for a wide variety of reasons. We eat when were hungry of course, but we also eat to celebrate holidays and special occasions, when we're out with family and friends. But there's a darker side to why we eat. Many of us unconsciously eat to numb painful emotions and feelings – we eat when we're anxious, sad, depressed, and overwhelmed. Sand eating in this way ultimately brings on more pain, more feelings of shame, humiliation, and guilt – which feeds into a vicious downward spiral. And the best diet in the world isn't going to address the root of this problem. My guest today is Tricia Nelson. Tricia is the internationally acclaimed author of the book “Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now” and is an emotional eating expert who has helped thousands of people heal their relationships with food. Join us this week as Tricia shares her personal journey of recognizing and overcoming her own emotional eating disorder, why dieting won't help you overcome emotional eating, how to know if you are an emotional eater, and if so, what steps you can take to gain control of your life and your health.   You can connect with Tricia in the following ways:Website: https://www.healyourhunger.com/Heal You Hunger Podcast: https://www.healyourhunger.com/heal-your-hunger-2/Book - Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1521101108/TedX Talk – Heal Your Hunger – What If Weight Loss Isn't About Food? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVSe2vaxXXMInstagram - @tricianelson_Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HealYourHungerFB Group Secret Sauce to End Emotional Eating - https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretsaucetoendemotionaleatingAre you and emotional eater quiz - https://www.healyourhunger.com/are-you-an-emotional-eater-or-food-addict/

Text us a comment or question!What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't a lack of information... it's a lack of conviction?If you're over 50, chances are you've read the books, listened to the podcasts, watched the YouTube videos, and tried more diets than you care to admit.You already know what to do.So why is lasting change still so hard?In this episode, Coach Kevin explores the difference between being interested in getting healthy and becoming committed to building an extraordinary second half of life.This isn't another episode about the "perfect diet" or the latest longevity hack.It's about making the decision that changes everything.You'll discover why curiosity is a great place to start - but a terrible place to stay, how "The Collector Trap" keeps so many people stuck, and why real transformation begins when you stop trying to get healthy and start becoming the kind of person who naturally lives that way.If you've ever felt like you're constantly preparing to change but never quite becoming different... this episode is for you.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why curiosity is a gift—but conviction is what creates lasting change.The hidden "Collector Trap" that keeps people consuming health information instead of transforming their lives.Why motivation is overrated and identity is everything.How conviction removes thousands of daily health decisions.Why healthy aging should become one of the most rewarding pursuits of your life.How to build a body that gives you more freedom, more options, and more life.The simple mindset shift that makes consistency easier.Why your future is shaped by your repeated actions—not your intentions.A powerful challenge to help you move from trying to becoming. Your Challenge This WeekAsk yourself one question, "Am I merely interested... or am I truly committed?"Then make one decision. Not to start another diet. Not to chase another challenge. Simply decide that you're no longer someone who's trying to get healthy. You're becoming the kind of person who naturally lives a healthy, strong, capable life.Then tomorrow morning... take one small step. And cast another vote for the person you're becoming. Resources & Links

Text us a comment or question!Artificial intelligence is everywhere.But beyond the headlines, hype, and scary predictions, AI may become one of the most powerful tools we've ever had for improving our health - especially after 50.In this episode, I sit down with physician and author Dr. Earl Campazzi to explore how everyday people can use AI, wearable technology, and health data to make smarter decisions, ask better questions, and take greater control of their health and longevity.This isn't about replacing your doctor or becoming obsessed with gadgets.It's about using technology as a practical tool to help you sleep better, train smarter, catch problems earlier, and become a more informed partner in your own healthcare.Whether you wear an Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura Ring, WHOOP, or simply want to get more out of your annual physical, this conversation will completely change how you think about the future of preventive medicine.In this episode, you'll learn:Why AI should be your health assistant—not your physicianHow your smartwatch and wearable devices may be detecting important health trends before you ever notice symptomsThe biggest mistake most people make when using ChatGPT for health adviceA simple prompting strategy that produces dramatically better AI answersHow AI can help you prepare for doctor appointments and ask better questionsWhy bringing organized information to your physician leads to better careHow to safely use AI to analyze blood work and other health data while protecting your privacyWhy trends matter far more than single data pointsHow to use wearable data to improve sleep, recovery, stress, and overall performanceWhy building healthy habits will always outperform relying on motivation and willpowerHow AI is already improving colonoscopies, mammograms, medical documentation, and disease detectionWhy personalized medicine is becoming more realistic than ever beforeWhat the future of AI-powered healthcare may look like over the next few yearsKey TakeawayTechnology isn't replacing personal responsibility. It's giving us better tools. The healthiest people over 50 won't necessarily be the ones with the newest gadgets—they'll be the ones who learn how to use those tools consistently to make better decisions every single day.Connect with Dr. Earl Campazzi

Text us a comment or question!Have you ever noticed that nobody seems to care when you're making unhealthy choices... But the moment you start getting healthier, everyone suddenly has an opinion? "One cookie won't hurt." "Come on, live a little." "You're obsessed." "You've changed." Sound familiar? In this eye-opening episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin explores one of the most overlooked challenges in health and fitness - the social pressure that shows up when you start improving yourself. Why do friends, coworkers, and even family members sometimes react negatively when you begin eating better, exercising, losing weight, or prioritizing your health? The answer has very little to do with food... And a lot to do with human psychology. If you've ever felt like people got weird when you started getting healthy, this episode will help you understand exactly what's happening - and why you shouldn't take it personally. You'll Learn✅ Why healthy choices often trigger unexpected reactions✅ How to handle criticism without taking it personally✅ Why your transformation challenges the people around you✅ The difference between support and sabotage✅ Why growth often feels lonely before it feels normal✅ How to build a tribe that supports your goals Key TakeawayMost people think getting healthy is about food and exercise. It's not. At least not entirely. Getting healthy is an identity transformation. And whenever someone changes their identity, it disrupts the expectations of the people around them. The resistance you're experiencing isn't proof you're doing something wrong. It's often proof you're growing. The TruthYou don't need permission to get healthy.You don't need permission to get stronger.You don't need permission to become the person you're capable of becoming.And sometimes...The people who question your growth today will be asking for your advice tomorrow. If you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Follow the show⭐ Leave a 5-star review⭐ Share this episode with someone who's trying to improve their health⭐ And remember...Growth doesn't require everyone's approval. It only requires your commitment.

Text us a comment or question!Most people think the biggest health problem in America is obesity.Coach Kevin disagrees.In this powerful episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, we tackle a health crisis that almost nobody is talking about - the Great Muscle Shortage.While the media obsesses over weight loss, calories, and shrinking the number on the scale, millions of adults over 50 are quietly losing something far more important…Strength.Muscle.Capability.Independence.And that loss may be one of the biggest threats to healthy aging.In this episode, Kevin explains why muscle isn't just about looking good - it's one of the most important predictors of longevity, metabolic health, resilience, and quality of life after 50.If you've been focused on getting smaller, this episode may completely change how you think about health and fitness. In This Episode:

Text us a comment or question!Have you ever finished a bag of chips, a sleeve of cookies, or a giant bowl of cereal and thought, "What is wrong with me?"Here's the good news…Probably nothing.In this eye-opening episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin pulls back the curtain on the modern food industry and explains why so many people struggle with cravings, constant hunger, overeating, and weight gain.Spoiler alert - it's not because you're weak.It's because you're living in a food environment specifically designed to make you consume more.From hyper-palatable processed foods and the science of craving to the "Snackification of America" and the hidden power of protein, this episode will completely change the way you look at food, hunger, and your own eating habits.If you've ever felt like food has way too much power over you, this episode is a must-listen.In This EpisodeWhy the food industry profits when you stay hungryThe shocking difference between real food and engineered food productsWhat your grandparents understood about eating that we've forgottenThe science behind cravings, the "bliss point," and hyper-palatable foodsWhy you're hungry all the time (even when you're eating plenty of calories)The Protein Leverage Hypothesis explained in plain EnglishHow constant snacking became normalizedWhy most adults over 50 are dramatically under-eating proteinHow to become "hard to market to" and take back control of your health Key TakeawayThe food industry doesn't get paid when you're nourished.It gets paid when you're hungry again.The goal isn't perfection.The goal is awareness.When you understand how modern food is designed to influence your behavior, you can stop blaming yourself and start making choices that support your health, energy, metabolism, and longevity.And maybe the most rebellious thing you can do in today's food environment... is become fully satisfied.Coach Kevin's Challenge This WeekPick ONE thing:

Text us a comment or question!Are You Preparing for Retirement... or Preparing to Age Faster?Most people spend decades planning for retirement financially.Very few people prepare for it mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually.And that's a problem.Because while retirement can be one of the most rewarding seasons of life, it can also become one of the most dangerous transitions for your health if you're not intentional.In this thought-provoking episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin challenges one of society's most sacred assumptions: that retirement is the ultimate finish line.What if the goal isn't to stop working?What if the goal is to stop doing work you hate and start living with even greater purpose?Kevin explores why so many people seem to age rapidly after retirement, why purpose may be one of the most overlooked longevity tools on the planet, and how to design a retirement that adds life to your years instead of simply adding years to your life.If you're approaching retirement, already retired, or simply wondering how to age with strength, vitality, and meaning, this episode is for you.In This EpisodeWhy retirement can become a health risk for some peopleThe hidden role purpose plays in longevityWhy work provides more than just a paycheckThe identity crisis many retirees never see comingHow people get old long before they actually get oldThe difference between aging and disengagementWhy the healthiest retirees retire TO something, not FROM somethingThe New Retirement Model for vibrant living after 50Practical strategies to retire without growing old Key TakeawayRetirement isn't about withdrawing from life.It's about finally having the freedom to engage with it more deeply.The people who age best aren't necessarily the youngest.They're the most engaged.They keep moving.They keep learning.They keep serving.They keep building.They keep dreaming.And most importantly...They never stop having a reason to get out of bed in the morning.If you enjoyed this episode, please:⭐ Follow the show⭐ Leave a 5-star review⭐ Share this episode with a friend who is approaching retirement⭐ And remember...Retirement isn't the end of your story.

Text us a comment or question!What if the key to living longer wasn't just about diet and exercise - but something happening deep inside your cells?In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, I sit down with scientist and entrepreneur Chris Burres to explore one of the most fascinating - and controversial - topics in modern longevity science.We're talking about a Nobel Prize-winning molecule, mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and what might be possible when it comes to extending both lifespan and healthspan.Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Here we go… another miracle supplement…” - stick with me.Because this conversation is grounded in real science… and it might just change how you think about aging.Here's What You'll LearnWhy we age (what's actually happening inside your body)The role of oxidative stress and inflammation in agingWhat your mitochondria have to do with energy, fatigue, and longevityThe wild story behind a molecule that extended lifespan in animal studies by 90%What “longevity escape velocity” means—and why it matters for YOUHow improving sleep could be the most underrated longevity hackThe difference between lifespan vs. healthspan (and why you should care)Whether living to 100+ is realistic… or science fictionPractical ways to start improving your cellular health today The Big TakeawayAging isn't just about getting older - it's about what's happening at the cellular level.And if we can reduce the damage happening inside our cells - especially in the mitochondria - we may be able to dramatically improve how we feel, function, and perform… well into our later decades.This isn't about living longer just for the sake of it. It's about living stronger, sharper, and more energized for as long as possible. My Favorite MomentChris breaks down the concept of “longevity escape velocity” - the idea that medical advancements may soon extend life faster than we age.Translation?If you can stay healthy long enough… you may benefit from breakthroughs that completely change the game. Listen NowIf you're over 50 and want more energy, less inflammation, and a body that actually keeps up with your life… hit play and let's dive in! Connect with Chris BurresLearn more: https://www.myvitalc.com/silveredgeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/myvitalcYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/myvitalcPodcast: Live Beyond the NormsBook: Live Longer and Better If you enjoyed this episode, do me a favor:Leave a 5 star review ⭐Share it with a friend who “feels older than they should”Tag me on Instagram @thesilver_edge Ready for a Real Plan?If you're tired of guessing—and you want a clear, proven path to getting leaner, stronger, and more energized after 50…Book your free Silver Edge Clarity Call here: https://go.silveredgefitness.com/clarirty-callLet's build a body Over 50 and frustrated with your progress?

Text us a comment or question!What if the biggest reason you feel tired, sluggish, and “older than you should”… has nothing to do with age - and everything to do with what's on your plate?In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Axay Shah, a 66-year-old marathon runner who hasn't eaten cooked food in over 16 years.Yeah… you read that right.Axay believes that most of what we've been taught about food is flat-out wrong - and that the key to energy, longevity, and disease prevention lies in a raw, plant-based lifestyle.Now, whether you agree with him or not… this conversation will challenge your thinking.We dive into:Why he gave up cooked food entirelyWhat actually happens when you switch to raw foodsHis take on protein (and why he thinks it's overhyped)What he eats in a typical dayAnd how he's able to run marathons well into his 60s This isn't about telling you to go 100% raw…It's about opening your eyes to what might actually be holding you back. What You'll LearnThe real reason Axay ditched cooked food—and never looked backWhy he believes most people are low-energy (and it's NOT aging)The surprising truth about “dead food” vs “living food”His 5 rules for eating (and living) with more energyWhy most people are confused about protein—and what actually mattersHow to think differently about food, fuel, and your bodyThe mindset shift that can change your health in the second half of life

Text us a comment or question!If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right - eating “healthy,” trying to lose weight, making better choices - but still not seeing results… This episode might completely change how you see food. Because what if the issue isn't your discipline…What if the system itself is working against you? Today, I'm joined by Dr. Sina McCullough - PhD in Nutritional Science, former university instructor, and author of Hands Off My Food - to unpack what's really going on behind the scenes of our modern food supply. And fair warning… once you hear this, you won't look at your grocery cart the same way again. In This Episode, We Cover:Why “eating healthy” feels harder than ever (especially after 50)The truth about how food ingredients actually get approvedWhat “GRAS” really means - and why it should concern youHow ultra-processed foods are engineered to keep you overeatingThe real reason junk food is cheaper than real foodWhat labels like “natural flavors” actually hideThe surprising role YOU play in shaping the food systemPractical ways to start taking back control—without going full homesteader

Text us a comment or question!Have you ever told yourself, "Tonight I'm only having one drink." And then somehow one becomes two… two becomes three… and the next morning you're wondering, "Why did I do that again?" Most people assume the answer is simple:  You just need more willpower. But according to today's guest, that belief is actually part of the problem. In this fascinating conversation, intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland explains why the struggle with alcohol isn't really about discipline, self-control, or even the alcohol itself.It's about how your brain, emotions, and nervous system respond to stress, habit, and identity. Colleen shares why traditional approaches like Dry January, white-knuckling, and strict rules often fail—and introduces a radically different idea: The solution to over-drinking isn't getting sober. It's getting happier. Through her concept of Emotional Sobriety, Colleen helps high-achieving professionals retrain their brains so that drinking less becomes natural and effortless, rather than a constant battle. And the insights she shares in this episode may completely change the way you think about alcohol, habits, and self-control. In This Episode You'll Learn:Why willpower alone almost never works when it comes to drinking lessThe surprising difference between alcoholism and Alcohol Use DisorderWhy many successful professionals quietly struggle with drinking habitsThe brain chemistry behind why one drink often leads to moreWhy Dry January and other “breaks” from alcohol often failHow stress and nervous system dysregulation drive the urge to drinkThe powerful mindset shift behind “Get Happy, Not Sober”How to create a healthy relationship with alcoholWhy emotional regulation may be the most important life skill you can develop About Today's GuestColleen Freeland is an Intuitive Drinking Coach and host of the globally top-ranked podcast It's Not About the Alcohol. She is the creator of Emotional Sobriety Coaching, a program designed for high-achieving professionals who want to dramatically reduce their alcohol consumption without relying on shame, rigid rules, or willpower. Colleen combines neuroscience, neurophysiology, cognitive reframing, and spirituality to help people retrain their brains so they naturally prefer moderation over over-drinking. Connect with ColleenWebsite: https://emotionalsobrietycoaching.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehangoverwhispererYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv24pItAK0xWQ_m6mD8T50wTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hangoverwhispererFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HangoverWhispererPodcast: It's Not About the Alcohol  If You Enjoyed ThiOver 50 and frustrated with your progress?

Text us a comment or question!If you've ever been told, “Your cholesterol looks normal - nothing to worry about,” this episode could save your life. Because the uncomfortable truth is this: a huge percentage of heart attacks happen to people who were told their numbers were “fine.” No warning signs. No symptoms. Just a moment that changes everything. In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin English sits down with world-class preventive cardiologist Dr. John Osborne to unpack why traditional cholesterol tests often miss the real danger - and what men and women over 50 need to know if they want to stay strong, active, and fully engaged in life. Dr. Osborne is one of fewer than 50 physicians in the U.S. triple board-certified in cardiology, hypertension, and lipidology. He's Harvard-trained, nationally recognized, and has personally interpreted 25,000+ advanced heart scans, proving that heart disease is not random—it's predictable, preventable, and often reversible. This is a must-listen episode if you're over 50, feel “pretty healthy,” and want to make sure you're not unknowingly sitting on a ticking time bomb. In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why “normal” cholesterol numbers can still hide serious heart diseaseThe critical difference between cholesterol levels and arterial plaqueWhy stress tests and basic blood work often miss early heart diseaseWhat Dr. Osborne calls the “cardiac colonoscopy” - and why it mattersHow heart disease quietly develops 20–30 years before a heart attackWhy fit, active adults over 50 can still be at riskWhat proactive, prevention-first heart care actually looks likeThe steps you can take now to protect your health, longevity, and legacy If your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, stay energetic, and participate fully in life for decades to come, your heart health matters more than ever. This conversation challenges outdated assumptions, empowers you with better questions to ask your doctor, and gives you clarity on what *real* prevention looks like - without fear-mongering or hype. If you're too young to feel this old - and too smart to rely on outdated advice - this episode is for you.
