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...

Text us a comment or question!
If you're over 50 and you've ever said - or even thought - "My metabolism is broken," this episode is for you.
This week, I'm continuing my special Behind the Book series by reading Chapter 4 of my upcoming book: Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life.

Behind the Book: Chapter 3 – What Changed After 50?
Text us a comment or question!
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.

What if the problem isn't your willpower...
What if it isn't your age...

Over the next several months, I'm inviting you behind the scenes as I revise and edit my upcoming book, Fully Alive: A Blueprint for the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life.<...
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)
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...
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?
"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 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.
And that loss ma...
The Food Industry Doesn't Want You Full

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.

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

Why do so many people spend years trying to get healthy… yet never seem to truly change?
In this powerful solo episode of the The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin dives deep into one of the most important mindset shifts for sustainable health transformation after 50:

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…

it’s probably not because you’re not trying hard enough.
