Podcasts about healthy aging

In today's episode, Deborah Maragopoulos joins us to discuss why the hypothalamus can be thought of as the "maestro" of the body's hormonal system. Sitting at the intersection of the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, the hypothalamus plays an important role in regulating everything from mood and memory to sleep, energy, metabolism, digestion, immune function, and the aging process…  Deborah is an integrative Family Nurse Practitioner, author, and specialist in neuro-immune-endocrinology with more than 30 years of clinical experience. Known as the "Hormone Queen," she has worked extensively with women experiencing hormonal imbalances related to perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, infertility, and much more. Her approach combines conventional and naturopathic perspectives to help identify underlying patterns that may be contributing to chronic symptoms.  This conversation covers:  ●       The difference between functional and conventional medicine. ●       Why the hypothalamus plays such a central role in hormone regulation. ●       How hormonal imbalances can affect mood, sleep, energy, metabolism, and digestion. ●       The connection between the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems.  Deborah is the author of The Hypothalamus Handbook: Your Tool to Discovering the Root of Your Health Issues and Finally Healing Your Body, Mind, and Soul, as well as Hormones in Harmony and Menopause Action Plan. A UCLA graduate and former president of the California Association of Nurse Practitioners, she has also served as an endocrine advisor and developed her own integrative model of care focused on supporting hypothalamic and hormonal function.

Text us a comment or question!What if the problem isn't that you need more cardio - but that you've been expecting cardio to do a job it was never designed to do?For years, Kevin believed the answer to weight loss was simple: run more, train harder, and burn more calories. And he didn't just talk the talk - he ran marathons, completed triathlons, and logged countless hours of training.But eventually, he learned an important lesson - cardio is one of the best things you can do for your health - and one of the most overrated tools for fat loss.In this installment of the Behind the Book series, Kevin reads Chapter 9 of his upcoming book, Fully Alive: Why You Can't Outrun Your Fork.This chapter exposes the “treadmill trap” - the exhausting cycle of eating, exercising to compensate, getting hungrier, pushing harder, and wondering why the results never match the effort.You'll discover why exercise should never be punishment for what you ate, why calories are much easier to consume than burn, and why simple daily movement may be more valuable than another punishing workout.In this episode, you'll learn:Why cardio burns fewer calories than most people imagineHow harder workouts can increase hunger and trigger compensationWhy exercising more doesn't always create the expected calorie deficitThe important difference between exercise and daily movementWhy walking is one of the most powerful—and underrated—healthy-aging habitsHow the “treadmill trap” damages your relationship with food and exerciseWhat exercise is actually for if calorie burning isn't the main goalWhy strength, mobility, resilience, and independence matter more than the number on the scaleHow to shift from asking, “How many calories did I burn?” to “What am I building?”Why the ultimate goal of fitness after 50 is freedomCardio is not the enemy. The problem is expecting cardio to erase your food, fix your nutrition, or exhaust you into the body you want.You don't need to earn your meals. You don't need to repay every indulgence with another trip to the treadmill. And you don't need to spend the rest of your life trying to outrun your fork.You need a sustainable approach that helps you build a strong, healthy, capable body - one that gives you the freedom to fully participate in your life.Help Shape Fully AliveKevin is sharing these chapters before the book is published, and your feedback is helping shape the final manuscript.What connected with you in this chapter? Have you ever felt like you needed to exercise just to maintain your weight - or used cardio to compensate for what you ate?Send Kevin an email at coach@silveredgefitness.com and share your thoughts.

Could hormone replacement therapy do more than relieve symptoms—and actually help you age well? And what hidden ingredients in your hormones should you know about before taking them?

What if your bone density test is NOT telling you the full story?You've been told that a DEXA scan and your bone mineral density (BMD) score can tell you how strong your bones are—but what if fracture risk depends on far more than a number?In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, Dr. John Neustadt, a leading expert in bone health and osteoporosis, and I uncover what actually matters when it comes to predicting fractures and protecting your bones as you age.If you've been told you have osteopenia, osteoporosis, or “good” bone density, this conversation could change the way you think about your bone health.Don't wait for a fracture to find out how strong your bones really are.

For most of us, the doctor only sees our blood pressure, weight and oxygen levels a few times a year, usually when something is already wrong. Is that really health care, or just sick care?In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub to talk about remote patient monitoring (RPM). RPM is the subject of Matt's master's thesis and a program he championed from day one. He explains why Your Health invests in daily data when many fee-for-service systems hand out devices only after a crisis and take them back once things settle down. He also explains why he's proud to call himself "the most compliant patient in the practice."In this episode:How daily weigh-ins can catch fluid retention in heart failure patients before it turns into a hospital stayWhy the data matters as much to the patient as it does to the provider, and how it helps people build habits that stack on each otherWhy RPM should be tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, including when daily tracking can backfireWhat happens when a healthcare company holds its own workforce to the standard it asks of patients, with "grace with accountability"How healthier employees can mean lower insurance costs, stronger recruiting and happier teamsIf you lead a practice, run a business or care for an aging parent, this conversation will change what you think it means to stay healthy between appointments.

Lance, Johan, and Spencer Martin (aka The Professor) break down Brandon McNulty's incredible win to take the first American world road title since Lance's title 33 years ago, diving into how McNulty used a moment of hesitation to launch a long-range solo move to foil the higher-profile favorites behind. They debate USA's newfound cycling superiority, what happened to the Belgian squad, and whether this win will kick off a new era for the US talent in the race, which put three riders inside the top ten.

We take the keys away from older drivers—why not older doctors? Nearly 3 in 4 Americans battling this health problem—fatigue! What super-agers over 100 have in common—a hyper-vigilant immune system guarding against cancers and infections. How does “anabolic resistance” contribute to frailty—and what to do about it? Recurrent bouts of “burning sensations” on the face—diagnosis please?

What if feeling like yourself again isn't about slowing down—but understanding what your body may need as you age? And could understanding your hormones help you feel more energized, focused, and connected to the life you want to live? In this special Health Series of the Radio Medium Laura Lee Show, Laura Lee welcomes health expert Hugh Woodward for an educational conversation about DHEA, energy, mood, focus, sleep, vitality, and healthy aging;  if you feel good inside, you're more spiritually attuned, and everything aligns on the outside. Hugh explains what DHEA is, how the body naturally produces it, why levels generally decline with age, and why some people are exploring topical DHEA cream as part of their wellness routine. He also shares his personal experience discovering DHEA and discusses why anyone considering hormone-related products should speak with a healthcare professional and have their individual hormone levels evaluated. Laura and Hugh explore the connection between physical vitality, emotional well-being, and feeling more present in everyday life. While this conversation focuses on health rather than a psychic reading connection, it fits naturally into Laura's message of whole-person wellness: when you take care of your mind, body, and spirit, you create more space to feel engaged with your life. 

Send us Fan MailWhat should you be doing in your 20s, 30s and 40s if you want a healthy brain at 80?This week, we're joined by registered dietitian and cognitive health expert Barbie Boules to talk about what we actually know about protecting our brains as we age and why brain health deserves our attention long before we start worrying about dementia.Barbie has been a registered dietitian for over 25 years, and her work has become increasingly focused on women's health, healthy aging and cognitive health. After her mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, the conversation around dementia prevention and protecting cognitive function also became deeply personal for her.We talk about the connection between cardiovascular health and brain health, including cholesterol, ApoB, Lp(a), blood pressure, insulin resistance and body composition, and why many of the things we do to protect our hearts may also matter for our brains.We also get into brain fog and normal forgetfulness, social media and our shrinking attention spans, multitasking, AI and whether outsourcing our thinking could have consequences for cognitive health.Then, of course, we talk nutrition: the MIND diet, berries, leafy greens, whole grains, fatty fish, coffee, alcohol, creatine and supplements. Plus, Barbie breaks down what we actually know about menopause and cognition, including the viral claim that your brain starts to “eat itself” when estrogen declines.In this episode, we cover:• How early brain health and cognitive decline should be on our radar• Normal forgetfulness vs. changes worth paying attention to• Modifiable risk factors for dementia and cognitive decline• The connection between cholesterol, metabolic health and brain health• Whether social media, multitasking and AI are changing how we use our brains• The MIND diet and what to eat for long-term brain health• Coffee, alcohol, creatine and supplements for cognitive health• Menopause, estrogen and the female brain• Cognitive reserve and why protecting your brain involves more than doing Sudoku• The realistic habits you can start now to support a healthier brain laterIf you've ever wondered how to keep your brain healthy as you age, whether brain fog is something to worry about, or what actually matters for reducing your risk of cognitive decline, this episode is for you.More about Barbie? Her websiteHer SubstackHer Instagram SHOP OUR MERCH HERE

Are all collagen supplements really the same? Collagen is everywhere—but when it comes to collagen peptides, not all supplements may be created equal. From the source and processing to absorption, amino acid profiles, and the type of collagen you're actually getting, the details can make a difference.In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I take a closer look at collagen peptides and uncover what you should know before choosing a collagen supplement.Whether your goal is healthy skin, stronger hair and nails, joint support, bone health, muscle recovery, or healthy aging, understanding the collagen you're taking is an important part of making an informed choice.Before you buy your next collagen supplement, make sure you know what's actually inside it.Listen to the full episode and learn why “collagen” on the label doesn't always mean the same thing.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement • Accelerated BIO PEPTIDES™https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-collagen-peptides Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

What can the microbes in our gut tell us about health—and how much do we still have to learn? On Ageless & Timeless, Michele Hughes welcomes gastroenterologist and microbiome researcher Dr. Sabine Hazan to discuss the science of the gut and why she believes care should begin with the individual.Dr. Hazan shares how treating patients with Crohn's disease and conducting clinical trials led her to study the microbiome. She explains why medical history, diet, environment, and response to treatment matter when interpreting findings. They also discuss fecal microbiota transplantation, the challenge of finding suitable donors, and why promising observations need larger studies. Dr. Hazan reflects on breaking barriers as the first woman gastroenterology fellow at the University of Florida and on the importance of questioning conclusions in medicine.Medical Disclaimer – Ageless and Timeless PodcastAgeless and Timeless (the “Show”), along with its host and guests, shares insights and discussions on health, wellness, and longevity for informational and educational purposes only.

Storytelling is one of humanity's oldest technologies, and Grandpa Bill is using it to make one case: the lessons that helped tribes, elders, and communities survive are still relevant for our health, memory, and mindset today.If you care about aging well, staying mentally sharp, or understanding why oral traditions still matter in a podcast and video world, this episode lays out the bigger mission behind the show and where it's headed next.Grandpa Bill frames his long-running daily audio work as a mix of goodwill ambassadorship, intergenerational wellness, and living history. He connects 72 years of personal health, a decades-deep podcasting journey, and a storyteller's worldview into one through line: information only matters if it helps people live better.You'll hear how stories function across cultures as tools for preserving tribal history, explaining natural phenomena, and passing on social norms. Grandpa Bill highlights examples from Aboriginal Australian memory maps, Native American oral traditions, African griots, Polynesian hula, Chinese puppetry, and European folktales to show how narrative survives, adapts, and shapes collective memory.We break down why oral traditions were never just entertainment - they were education, record keeping, moral instruction, and cultural glue. He also connects those ancient practices to modern forms like spoken word, podcasts, and radio, showing why the medium may have changed but the human need hasn't.This episode matters because the same storytelling patterns that preserved knowledge for thousands of years still influence how we learn, remember, and connect. If you're interested in longevity, wellness, memory, culture, or the strange power of stories to outlive empires, this is a thoughtful preview of the journey ahead.Perfect for listeners who enjoy reflective solo episodes, elder wisdom, cultural history, and practical conversations about staying active, healthy, and mentally engaged for the long haul.#Storytelling, #OralTradition, #CulturalHeritage, #HealthAndWellness, #HealthyAging, #IntergenerationalWisdom, #memory, #HumanHistory, #Podcast,

What we eat plays a critical role in brain health, muscle strength, bone health, and healthy aging. In this episode of Brain Bytes, Kelly Tremblay talks with Jenny Overly, senior director of nutrition and wellness for CCL Hospitality Group, explore the mind-gut connection, the importance of whole foods, and what to know about protein as we age. They separate evidence-based nutrition guidance from social media hype, discuss quality protein sources, including plant-based options, and share practical tips for spreading protein throughout the day. This episode breaks down how nutrition is not just about how much protein we eat, but the quality, variety, and overall pattern of what's on our plate. More about CCL here: https://www.ccl-hg.com.

In this episode, health coach and fitness educator Lochi Horner explores why the energy conversation is changing—and why feeling energized is about more than simply reaching for more caffeine. Discover how caffeine fits into the bigger picture, why nootropics and functional ingredients are gaining attention, and how ingredients like functional mushrooms are helping shape a smarter approach to energy and focus. Lochi also shares why everyday habits, including sleep, play an important role in getting the most from the energy support you choose. It's a fresh look at moving beyond the buzz toward better, more intentional energy.

What are you actually training for?A faster race? A new distance? A PR?Or are you also training for the ability to keep doing the things you love for decades to come?This episode of the Find Your Edge Podcast is a little different because Coach Chris Newport is on the other side of the mic.Dr. Sarah Gordon invited Chris onto her PhD Journey Unplugged podcast for a conversation about endurance sports, coaching, nutrition, motivation, longevity—and what it really means to train for a life you want to keep living.They discuss:Why training and nutrition need to be individualizedHow good coaching evolves as an athlete growsWhy more isn't always betterThe importance of autonomy, competence and connectionWhy community can be essential for long-term participation in endurance sportsThe difference between training because you want to and because you feel like you shouldHow performance goals and healthy aging can coexistWhy sometimes we need to stop climbing long enough to appreciate the viewThe thinking behind The Endurance Edge's Longevity LabWhat athletes like 80-year-old Ironman finisher Natalie Grabow can teach us about staying active for lifeThe goal isn't simply to add years to your life.It's to keep life in your years.And sometimes that means asking a bigger question:What are you training for?This conversation originally appeared on Dr. Sarah Gordon's PhD Journey Unplugged podcast, Episode #74.

Send us Fan MailHi my dears! This week I'm diving into one of my favorite topics: how to strive to have a great and long life. These are the amazing folks in their 80s and beyond whose memory is as sharp as someone 20 or 30 years younger. I share what researchers at Northwestern University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and beyond have discovered about how super agers keep their brains young, and I break it down into three simple strategies you might try: challenge your brain, move your body, and get your rest. We talk about Type 2 fun (the kind that's miserable in the moment but amazing looking back), why learning to quilt might do more for your memory than easy puzzles, how walking can actually grow your brain's memory center, and why sleep is when your brain takes out the trash. And yes, I bring back the Blue Zones too!But first, I had to share my latest library jackpot: the Libby app! If you have a library card, you may have free access to hundreds of digital magazines, audiobooks, and e-books right from your tablet. I also share a little about my walks in the woods and by the bay, a story from my husband about why "it's not only about fun," and how a bedtime routine helped my kids sleep. Quote of the Week"Stress + rest = growth.

Text us a comment or question!What emotions come to mind when you think about food?For far too many people, the answer isn't nourishment, enjoyment, or gratitude. It's guilt, fear, anxiety, confusion, and shame.After decades of conflicting nutrition advice - don't eat fat, don't eat carbs, skip breakfast, eat six meals a day, avoid fruit - it's no wonder so many of us have come to see food as a threat rather than a resource.In this episode of the Behind the Book series, Kevin reads Chapter 8 of his upcoming book, Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life.This chapter explores a powerful mindset shift: moving away from restriction, punishment, and fear -and learning to view food as fuel for the body and life you're trying to build.Kevin explains why calories matter - but aren't the whole story - how chronic under-fueling may be affecting your energy, strength, recovery, cravings, and metabolism, and why the question isn't simply, “How little can I eat?” but rather, “How well can I nourish myself?”In this episode, you'll discover:How decades of conflicting nutrition advice created widespread food fear and confusionWhy labeling foods as “good” or “bad” can damage your relationship with eatingThe important difference between fearing food and respecting itWhy food provides far more than caloriesHow food influences hunger, fullness, energy, recovery, performance, and body compositionWhy the quality and quantity of your food both matterCommon signs that you may be chronically under-fuelingHow prolonged restriction can affect energy, cravings, strength, mood, and recoveryWhy eating less isn't always the answer—especially after 50What it means to approach nutrition with a builder's mindsetHow to make food important without allowing it to consume your thoughtsThe liberating question that can transform your relationship with food: “How well can I nourish myself?” Kevin wants your honest opinion - does Chapter 8 earn its place in Fully Alive?Did it offer a useful new perspective on nourishment and under-fueling?

What if everything you've been taught about “being healthy” is missing one critical ingredient—feeling good?In this fascinating episode of The Balanced, Beautiful & Abundant Show, Rebecca Whitman sits down with naturopathic doctor, researcher, and longevity expert Dr. Erica Oberg to uncover why deprivation, restriction, and endlessly tracking your health may actually be keeping you from the vitality you're working so hard to create.Drawing on more than 20 years in integrative and regenerative medicine, Dr. Oberg reveals the science behind Healthy Hedonism—the idea that pleasure isn't something you earn after you get healthy. It can actually be part of the prescription.From hormones, metabolism, brain health, and menopause to peptides, GLP-1s, sleep, stress, and longevity, this conversation challenges conventional wellness wisdom and offers a much more joyful way to age.

I made a post the other day stating that people over 50 should be banned from running marathons, and was greatly amused to see all the savage, critical comments coming back at me. Fair points made by those of you who are thriving in the endurance community, but what I am really talking about is the inherently stressful nature of training for extreme endurance events, like marathons and IronMan. Many people can be drawn into this deeply committed community, and end up training in an inappropriate and overly stressful manner, leading to breakdown, burnout, illness, and injury. I’ve heard enough from the folks at the front of the pack with their longevity badges and chips, but what I am concerned about is the people who are burning out, even though they are engaging in well-intentioned exercise. Furthermore, when you dedicate so much to extreme endurance training, you—by definition—are neglecting by far the most beneficial workouts for longevity: strength training and especially sprinting. What I am advocating is a broadening of your perspective of what it means to be fit for life. I am enthusiastic about this subject because I have had an awakening of my own after having been an extreme endurance athlete, on the professional triathlon circuit decades ago, and then continuing to train like an endurance athlete in the decades that followed—only to realize that I was falling apart and getting old. I threw my back out, tore my meniscus for no reason and realized: Wait, I do not have the full body functional fitness and power, strength, and mobility that I should. That is when I started redirecting my compass over towards sprinting and high jumping—which I found were so much more fun, rewarding, and challenging than just shuffling along towards another distance finish line. There is a lot more out there, and if you are not a serious competitor, and just doing something because you think this is a way of staying fit and healthy, then this show will help you broaden your perspective on the safe, low impact methods to push yourself and stimulate the anaerobic system (which gets completely neglected by most forms of mainstream training). Tune into this episode if you want to learn the essence of an efficient sprint workout, how to feel energized and invigorated instead of fatigued and depleted after workouts, and how to effectively age gracefully! TIMESTAMPS: Some people are staying active in their later years with well-intentioned exercise, however some are burning out by overdoing their endeavors. [02:02] Brad is suggesting sprinting and weight training as a goal. [03:35] Many of the exercise patterns people are doing do not build the anaerobic system. [04:25] Sprinting involves much rest in between bursts. [06: 10] Falling is the number one cause of death in Americans over 65. Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and dynapenia (age-related loss of muscle power and explosiveness) are the conditions. [08:00] The sprinting routine that is recommended is 8 to 15 seconds with extensive rest of a minimum of a minute. [11:55] When you get through with exercise, you want to feel energized and invigorated instead of depleted and exhausted.

What does it mean to be physically capable as we grow older?For Pilates coach and educator Peter Clerkin, it means developing the strength, cardiovascular fitness, balance, mobility and confidence to participate fully in life.A serious football injury at 15, followed by a long recovery and learning to walk again, changed Peter's relationship with movement. He later completed marathons and triathlons and built a career helping other people improve their physical capabilities.In this conversation, Peter explains why Pilates is only one part of a well-rounded physical life. He also discusses exercise after 40, the value of enjoyment and social connection, his decision to stop drinking alcohol and why our ambitions should not diminish as we grow older.--Bio: Peter Clerkin is an Irish Pilates teacher, coach and educator based in London. After graduating in Sport and Exercise Science, he coached soccer in Seattle before moving to London in 2013. Since then, he has completed more than 20,000 hours of teaching and coaching. Peter sees Pilates not as the complete answer, but as one part of a varied and active life. His approach to healthspan begins with what people want to keep doing, from travelling and playing sport to feeling confident trying something new. He is now developing Future Pilates.DISCLOSURE: This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Concurrent Training for Healthy Aging and the Overlooked B12 Risk of Metformin: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how concurrent training—combining cardio and strength work—supports healthy aging by building endurance, preserving muscle, and maintaining independence and “healthspan.” She explains that aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory efficiency while resistance training preserves lean tissue and functional strength, and offers practical scheduling tips: place strength sessions on two non-consecutive days, add moderate cardio around them, separate hard sessions, prioritize recovery with rest days, sleep, and adequate protein, and avoid pairing heavy lifting with hard endurance work if explosive power is important. She then summarizes evidence that clinicians often fail to check vitamin B12 levels in diabetic patients on long-term metformin, despite guidelines; metformin can impair B12 absorption, leading to deficiency, anemia, and potentially reversible neuropathy, with higher risk in the elderly, high-dose users, vegans, and PPI users. She urges proactive B12 monitoring and supplementation, such as a multivitamin with at least 100 mcg B12.

Dr. Michael Leon on Smell Training, Memory, Sleep, Alzheimer's Risk, and Brain Longevity Your sense of smell may reveal more about your brain health than you realize, and stimulating it while you sleep may improve memory, sleep quality, and cognitive function. **Visit https://memoryair.com/ and use code DAVE15 for 15% off. **Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Michael Leon, Professor Emeritus of Neurobiology and Behavior at UC Irvine and one of the world's most cited scientists, to explore why smell may be one of the most overlooked tools for brain health and longevity. Dr. Leon explains why the olfactory system has unusually direct access to the brain's memory and emotional centers, why smell often declines alongside memory after age 60, and why reduced olfactory function has been associated with Alzheimer's disease, cognitive decline, depression, and increased all-cause mortality. They also discuss how COVID, chronic congestion, pollution, stress, and aging can impair smell without people realizing it. The conversation dives into olfactory enrichment, including research showing major improvements in memory when older adults were exposed to multiple scents during sleep. Dr. Leon explains why novelty matters, how nighttime scent exposure may increase deep sleep and reduce nightmares, and why olfactory stimulation is being studied in dementia, PTSD, depression, and autism. Dave also explores connections between smell, GLP-1 drugs, exercise, rapamycin, spermidine, oxytocin, hormones, mitochondrial function, and other longevity interventions. This is essential listening for anyone interested in memory, sleep, Alzheimer's prevention, brain aging, smell training, dementia, PTSD, autism, longevity, neuroplasticity, biohacking, and protecting cognitive function as you age. You'll Learn: -Why your sense of smell often declines alongside memory -How smell connects directly to the brain's memory and emotional centers -Why poor olfactory function is associated with Alzheimer's risk and mortality -How chronic congestion may affect memory and brain health -What COVID-related smell loss may mean for long-term cognitive health -How olfactory enrichment can stimulate memory centers while you sleep -Why one study reported a 226% improvement in memory in healthy older adults -How scent exposure may increase deep sleep and reduce nightmares -Why novelty and rotating scents appear to matter for neuroplasticity -How smell training is being studied in dementia, depression, PTSD, and autism -Why several longevity interventions are also associated with improved olfaction -How GLP-1 drugs may affect smell, food enjoyment, memory, and emotion -Why professional wine tasters may offer clues about protecting the aging brain Thank you to our sponsors! - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - Fatty15 is on a mission to support Healthy Aging for All, including all ages and stages of life.

Send us Fan MailIf you're over 40, you've probably heard that strength training is important but how much do you actually need?Do you need to spend five days a week in the gym, lift extremely heavy weights, track every metric, or buy expensive recovery gadgets? Or can a much simpler approach give you most of the benefits?In this episode of the FitMitTuro Fitness Podcast, Turo talks with Dr. Jennifer Timmons, physician and founder of Timmons Wellness, about what really matters for building and maintaining muscle in midlife.They discuss why walking alone is not enough to preserve muscle, why women do not need to fear “getting bulky,” how much strength training is actually necessary, and why consistency matters more than following a perfect plan. Dr. Timmons also explains how she thinks about recovery, protein, fiber, exercise snacks, simple physical-function tests, and popular longevity tools like wearables, saunas, vibration plates, continuous glucose monitors, and cold plunges. In this episode, you'll learn: Why muscle becomes increasingly important after 40  Why walking and general activity are not enough on their own  Whether women should worry about becoming bulky  How much strength training you actually need  Why two short sessions can still be valuable  How to use progressive overload without overcomplicating training  Why consistency beats perfection  How to adjust training after a bad night of sleep  How much protein Dr. Timmons personally aims for  Why fiber matters alongside protein  What “exercise snacks” are and why they can work  Simple at-home tests for strength and healthy aging  Which longevity gadgets may be useful—and which you can probably skip  What a beginner over 40 should do this week Dr. Timmons also shares a practical “basics first” framework: movement, emotional health, diet, and sleep before spending money on optimization tools.Connect with Dr. Timmons:IG @jennifertimmonsmdWebsite: https://timmonswellnessmd.com/Connect with Turo:IG @personaltrainer_turoWebsite: https://personaltrainerturo.it/Try The Consistency ResetMy new personalized coaching app for women 35–55 who are tired of starting over with diets, workouts, and healthy habits.Get simple daily actions, realistic workouts, practical nutrition habits, and Reset Mode to help you keep going when life gets busy.Take the quiz and build your personalized plan here: studio.com/turo/consistency-reset

Text us a comment or question!What if one of the most important things you could do for your future had nothing to do with losing weight?What if you should be paying more attention to building muscle?In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, I'm continuing my special Behind the Book series by reading Chapter 7 of my upcoming book, Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life.And this chapter is called Muscle Changes Everything.For decades, we've been taught to think about muscle as something cosmetic - big biceps, six-pack abs, bodybuilders, athletes, and gym rats.But especially after 50, muscle is about something much bigger.Muscle is capacity.Muscle is resilience.Muscle is protection.Muscle is freedom.It helps determine whether you can climb the stairs, carry your luggage, get off the floor, play with your grandkids, recover from illness or injury, travel, stay active, and continue saying YES to life.In this episode, you'll discover:Why muscle is far more than cosmetic tissueWhy getting lighter isn't necessarily the same thing as getting healthierHow muscle protects your independence and freedomThe idea behind your Muscle Retirement AccountWhy strength training after 50 is an investment—not punishmentHow small physical investments compound over decadesWhy your ability to remain active later in life is being built right nowThe incredible story of a woman who began lifting at 70 and became a world-record powerlifterWhy it's never too late to become strongerAnd why building muscle may be one of the best investments you can make in your next 30 yearsI Want Your FeedbackFully Alive is still being written and revised - and you're getting a behind-the-scenes look at the book before the finished version ever hits the shelves. And I genuinely want your help making it better.What resonated with you in this chapter? Did the Muscle Retirement Account change the way you think about strength training? Was there something you disagreed with, wanted me to explain better, or wished I had gone deeper on? Or did this chapter remind you of your own story?Email me at coach@silveredgefitness.com.I personally read your messages, and your feedback may help shape the final version of Fully Alive.And if you know somebody who still thinks lifting weights after 50 is just about looking good... send them this episode.Because we're not building muscle just to change what we see in the mirror. We're building it so that 10, 20, and 30 years from now, we still have the strength, capacity, independence, and freedom to fully participate in our lives.

Send us Fan MailFalls can feel like a private problem, but the truth is bigger and more solvable than most of us realize. I'm joined by Emily Neighbors and Victoria Ring from the National Council on Aging (NCOA) to talk about falls prevention for older adults and why going upstream matters when the cost is independence, health, and even life. We get real about the personal stakes, the hidden stigma that keeps people quiet after a fall, and the simple steps that can reduce fall risk at any age. We break down the data behind older adult falls, including why so many incidents never make it into a doctor's chart, and what changes when someone speaks up. We cover practical fall-prevention strategies you can act on right away. Then we shift to community solutions. NCOA supports state falls prevention coalitions that bring together healthcare, public health, senior services, libraries, fire departments, contractors, and community members with lived experience. You'll hear standout examples from across the country and how Falls Prevention Awareness Week becomes a moment to rally, share resources, and build safer neighborhoods for everyone to age in place. Key TakeawaysWhile falls are common among older adults, many falls can be prevented. By understanding their personal risk factors and making small changes, older adults can improve their safety, confidence, and ability to remain active and independent.Preventing falls is everyone's responsibility. We all have a role to play in creating a society where older Americans can continue to live with dignity and safety as they age.Falls are a complex problem that requires a collaborative solution. State falls prevention coalitions are an essential mechanism for uniting multi-disciplinary stakeholders and community members to collaboratively design and implement strategies to reduce falls. People can reduce their risk of falling. The first step is to learn about your individual fall risks, healthcare services and community programs in your area, and the simple steps you can take in your daily life to reduce your risk of falls. State falls prevention coalitions are an excellent source of information for consumers and providers, including educational resources, training, collaborative opportunities, and connecting with falls prevention services and programs in your state.Coalitions can do more than one individual or organization could accomplish alone. Galvanizing members' expertise, skills, resources, and passion, coalitions can make an impact in their state and offer individual, organizational, and community-level benefits to participating members.If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with someone you love, and leave a review so more people can find practical falls prevention guidance.Emily Nabors BioAssociate Director of Innovation, Center for Healthy AgingIn the field of falls prevention for more than 15 years, Emily Nabors, MS, has conducted applied research, developed tools and educational materials, and provided professional training on falls prevention and home modification to support community living. She has extensive experience in building cross-sector coalitions and partnerships, and she co-facilitates the National Home Safety and Home Modification Work Group. She manages projects including the Administration for Community Living (ACL) Innovation Lab and the National Falls Prevention Fellowship, and she provides technical assistance to ACL-funded falls prevention grantees. Previously, she was Program Manager of the Fall Prevention Center of Excellence at the University of Southern California (USC) Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. She has a Master of Science degree in Gerontology from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and an undergraduate degree from Vassar College.Victoria Ring BioProgram Specialist, NCOA Center for Healthy AgingVictoria “Torie” Ring is a Program Specialist at the National Council on Aging's Center for Healthy Aging, where she supports nationwide falls-prevention initiatives including the Strengthening State Falls Prevention Coalitions project and the ACL Innovation Lab.

At 84½ years old, Michael Dorfman is still writing books, playing pickleball, experimenting with new health practices, learning from his children, and asking what else might help him live well. In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with Michael about his decades-long journey from vegetarianism to plant-based living, what sparked his interest in longevity, and why he believes aging should not automatically mean accepting chronic disease, inactivity, or a loss of purpose. Their conversation moves beyond food into the broader ingredients of a vibrant life: movement, community, stress management, marriage, mindset, curiosity, meaningful work, and continuing to learn no matter your age. Michael also shares what he has learned from studying longevity communities around the world and why, at this stage of his life, he sees health as something we participate in rather than something we simply hope to keep.

This week, I talked about three things to manage healthy aging and how to do it: mainly diabetes, hypertension, and smoking. If you manage those things your chances of developing Alzheimer’s are much lower. Then, I talked about coffee and aging. There is a protein that coffee stimulates that slows down aging! Then we talked […]

Peptides are everywhere right now, but what actually works, what's FDA-approved, and what's still experimental?Dr. Mark and Dr. Michele Sherwood break down the science, uses, and limitations of peptides, GLP-1s, retatrutide, BPC-157, TB-500, sermorelin, and tesamorelin, what they actually are, how they work, and where the real evidence stands.Drawing from more than 25,000 patient conversations, this episode covers the "Wolverine Stack," the difference between FDA-approved and experimental compounds, why sourcing and quality matter, and what the current research does and doesn't support.Subscribe to the Authentic Longevity Podcast for evidence-based conversations on functional medicine, longevity, and root-cause health with Dr. Mark and Dr. Michele Sherwood.This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not replace individualized medical advice.

Could your heart, brain and kidneys all be aging at different rates?In this episode of Live Long, Peter Bowes talks with Paul Coletta, co-founder and CEO of Vero Bioscience, about the emerging science of organ-specific biological aging. Researchers at Stanford have been studying whether proteins in the blood can help estimate how quickly individual organs are aging and whether that information could reveal future health risks before disease develops.Paul explains how proteomics, machine learning and organ-age clocks work, and why an unexpected result from his own kidney-age test helped draw him into the field. The conversation also explores the limits of biological-age testing, the risk of over-testing and health anxiety, and whether knowing your “weakest link” can genuinely help guide lifestyle changes or preventive care.We also discuss healthspan, sleep, sunlight, self-experimentation, emerging longevity interventions and the difference between extending life and extending the number of healthy years we live.Context for this episodeThe personal health practices, supplement choices and off-label therapeutic protocols discussed by Paul Coletta in this episode represent his own monitored “N-of-1” experiments.

Jim and Chris are again joined by Dr. Phillip Snider. They discuss listener emails on coronary artery calcium scoring, followed by a broader conversation on healthy aging. Dr. Snider revisits the five tests he recommended in a previous episode, explains what the calcium score ranges mean, and covers how to get the tests done. He then turns to the dietary patterns linked to a longer, healthier life and closes with where the evidence actually stands on the common supplements vitamin D, vitamin E, CoQ10, and beta-carotene. (11:30) George shares that after requesting the five tests Dr. Snider recommended, his coronary artery calcium score came back high despite other excellent health markers, and he and his physician are now building a treatment plan. (29:00) A listener who is a retired emergency physician offers a different view on the calcium score, arguing that testing asymptomatic people carries risks of its own.

In this episode, Dr. Paul Arciero breaks down the protein equation and explains why protein is about much more than building muscle—it plays an essential role in strength, recovery, body composition, and healthy aging. Learn how your individual protein needs can vary based on factors like age, activity level, and goals, why protein quality matters, and how timing your intake throughout the day can make a difference. Dr. Paul also explores the different types of protein, when to use them, and how Isagenix protein options can help you build a routine that works for you. It's a practical, science-backed guide to making protein more intentional—and making it work for your goals.

Text us a comment or question!What if the goal that's been driving your health and fitness journey for years... is actually the wrong goal?If you've spent the last decade - or maybe several decades - trying to lose the same 10, 20, or 30 pounds, this episode may completely change the way you think about your body.This week on The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, we're continuing the special Behind the Book series with a first look at Part II - Building a Body from my upcoming book, Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life.And we're kicking off Part II with a statement that probably sounds a little crazy coming from a health and fitness coach: Stop trying to lose weight.Seriously.Because here's the truth -  nobody really wants weight loss. You don't actually want a smaller number on your bathroom scale. You want what you believe that smaller number will give you.More energy. More confidence. Better health. Freedom. Strength. Capability. The ability to travel, hike, play with your grandkids, get up off the floor, carry your own luggage, and keep saying YES to life.So maybe it's time to stop making weight loss the mission.Maybe it's time to start building a body.In this episode, you'll discover:Why focusing on weight loss can actually lead you toward the wrong behaviorsWhy losing 20 pounds isn't really what most people wantThe hidden problem with making a number on the scale your ultimate goalWhy traditional weight-loss goals come with a dangerous built-in finish lineThe difference between changing your weight and changing your identityWhy “I'm trying to get healthy” and “I'm a healthy person” are two very different mindsetsHow your identity influences your daily choicesWhy lasting transformation is about becoming, not dietingThe question that's far more powerful than “How much weight do I want to lose?”Why your new mission should be about the next 30 years, not the next 30 poundsHow shifting from shrinking to building can change the trajectory of your second half

Could optimizing your circadian rhythm be the most important health intervention of all? In this show, I take a trip around the 24-hour clock, exploring fascinating ideas about light, leptin, metabolism, sleep, and circadian biology. We’ll look at why direct outdoor light in the morning matters, why eating after dark can cause more fat storage than eating the same number of calories at a different time, and how our modern use of artificial light may be extending “summer” throughout the year. I also explain why the hours from midnight to 3:00 AM are so important for darkness, leptin, human growth hormone, and the body’s overnight repair processes—and why these issues may be especially relevant for post-menopausal women. I wrap it all up with four simple ways to get your circadian rhythm working in your favor: mellow evenings, a dark and cool sleeping environment, energetic mornings, and napping when you need it. I explain why caffeine can override the sleepiness signal your body is trying to send you, and why insufficient sleep can make you 20% slower at everything you do—while making you less aware of it. I’ll also share emerging research on sunlight and immune regulation, including the fascinating field of photoimmunology, plus the sleep-cooling technology I’m currently enjoying with the Somnus Sleep System. The big takeaway? Before you chase complicated health protocols, make sure you’re respecting the biological rhythms that have governed human health for far longer than artificial light, smartphones, and Netflix queues.
