Behind the Book: Chapter 13 - How to Keep the Weight Off After 50 Without Dieting Forever
Text us a comment or question!
What happens the morning after the “after” photo?
The confetti’s gone. You’re standing in your kitchen wondering if you’re supposed to eat grilled chicken forever. And, more urgently, who do you talk to about getting tacos back?
Most diets tell you how to lose weight. Then you hit your goal and get left to figure out how to keep it off through vacations, holidays, and weeks when life blows up your schedule. It’s like taking flying lessons and finding out your instructor s...
Behind the Book: Chapter 12 - How to Lose Fat After 50 Without Losing Muscle
Text us a comment or question!
We finally made it, my friends. After eleven chapters of talking about muscle, metabolism, and building a strong foundation, it’s time to tackle the topic many of you have been waiting for: fat loss!
And no, I’m not about to hand you a sad little salad and tell you to make peace with the treadmill.
In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, I’m sharing Chapter 12 of my upcoming book, Fully Alive. We’re diving into Phase Two of the blueprint: Accelera...
Behind the Book: Chapter 11 - Want to Lose Weight After 50? Stop Dieting First.
Text us a comment or question!
You want to lose twenty pounds. Your coach’s first instruction? Stop trying to lose weight.
Wait… what?
If you’ve spent years eating less, pushing harder, and losing and regaining the same weight, that advice might sound backward. But another restrictive diet may be skipping the very thing you need: a stronger foundation.
In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin English returns to his upcoming book, Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your L...
More Than Longevity: Building a Life You Love After 50 w/ Dr. Kyle Hulsebus

What do you want your health for?
To travel without worrying about keeping up? Play with your grandkids? Pursue a passion you’ve put on hold? Build a second half of life that you’re genuinely excited to live?
This week, we’re taking a brief break from our Fully Alive book series for a conversation that fits perfectly with everything we’ve been exploring: building a strong, healthy, capable body—and giving yourself something meaningful to do with it.

Behind the Book: Chapter 10 - You Don’t Really Want to Lose Weight - You Want Your Life Back

What if you hit your goal weight… but still didn’t have the energy, strength, or confidence to live the life you wanted?
Would that really feel like success?
In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin English continues reading from his upcoming book, Fully Alive, with Chapter 10: “The New Goal - Strong, Healthy, and Capable.”
This chapter wraps up Part II - Build a Body - with a question that changes the entire conversation: What are we actually trying t...
Behind the Book: Chapter 9 - Why You Cannot Outrun Your Fork
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 yo...
Behind the Book: Chapter 8 — Food Is Fuel, Not the Enemy
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 read...
Behind the Book: Chapter 7 – Your Muscle Retirement Account
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?

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...
Behind the Book: Chapter 5 — Why “Eat Less, Move More” Stops Working
Text us a comment or question!
Eat less. Move more.
For decades, that’s been the default prescription for weight loss.
And to be fair... it sounds perfectly logical.
If you want to lose weight, eat fewer calories and burn more calories.
But if the formula is really that simple, why are so many intelligent, motivated people still struggling? Why do we keep losing and regaining the same 10, 20, or 30 pounds? And why does it seem to get harder every time - especially after 50?
In this ep...

Does it feel like your body suddenly started playing by a different set of rules after 50?
You’re not imagining it.
In this third installment of the Behind the Book series, I share Chapter 3 of my upcoming book, Fully Alive, and tackle one of the most common questions I hear from men and women over 50…
"Why does this feel so much harder than it used to?"
For years, we've been told that getting older automatically means getting weaker, slower, heavier, and less...
Behind the Book: Chapter 2 - Why Eating Less Isn't the Answer
Text us a comment or question!
What if one of the biggest reasons you're struggling to lose weight... is because you've been trying to eat too little?
In this special Behind the Book episode, I'm sharing Chapter 2 of my upcoming book, Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life. This chapter tackles one of the biggest lies we've been taught about weight loss - that getting healthy means living on salads, tiny portions, and constant hunger.

Classic Rewind - How to Overcome Emotional Eating with Tricia Nelson
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...
Interested... or Committed? The Decision That Changes Everything After 50
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...

Make the Second Half of Life the Best Half
Text us a comment or question!
For years, we've been told that getting older means slowing down.
Less energy.
More medications.
Fewer adventures.
A body that gradually falls apart.
But what if we've been asking the wrong question?
What if the goal was never simply to lose weight... build muscle... or lower your cholesterol?
What if health was never the destination?
What if it was the foundation for something much bigger?
In this special episode, Coach Kevin shares a...
What Your Smartwatch Is Trying to Tell You (And How AI Can Help You Live Longer)

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.

This isn't about replacing your doctor or becoming obsessed with...
Why Healthy People Make Everyone Else Uncomfortable
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?

"Come on, live a little."
"You're obsessed."
"You've changed."
Sound familiar?

The Great Muscle Shortage - Why Losing Weight Isn't Enough After 50
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.

The Retirement Lie: Why Most People Get Old Long Before They Get Old
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...
The 5 Trillion Dollar Health Scam
Text us a comment or question!
What if the system keeping Americans “healthy” actually profits when we stay sick?
In this fiery and unapologetic episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin takes aim at the modern health machine and asks the uncomfortable question nobody seems willing to ask…
Why are we spending over FIVE TRILLION dollars a year on healthcare while obesity, chronic disease, exhaustion, and metabolic dysfunction continue exploding at record rates?
Kevin breaks down:
Why 70% of U.S. deaths are tied to lifestyle-related chronic diseaseHow ultra-processed foods...The Identity Shift: From Trying to Get Healthy to Becoming a Healthy Person

Over 50? This Is the Lie That’s Keeping You Weak, Tired, and Broken

Think getting older means getting weaker, slower, and more fragile?
Think again.
In this powerful (and eye-opening) episode, Coach Kevin sits down with exercise scientist, former Army medic, and Active & Ageless founder Heath Jones to dismantle one of the most damaging myths in modern health… that decline is inevitable after 50.
After multiple back injuries and surgeries, Heath was told to “slow down.”
Instead… he did the exact opposite.
Now he’s running ultra-marathons, training like a beast, and helping people over 50 rebuild st...

If you’ve been trying to lose fat after 50…
