Bonus Episode: What RFK Jr. Means for the Future of American Health
Send us a textIn this special bonus episode, I dive into a topic that’s been lighting up social media - our new U.S. Health Secretary, RFK Jr., and what his leadership could mean for the future of American health. After posting a now-viral image comparing outgoing Health Secretary Rachel Levine and incoming RFK Jr., I was shocked by the heated response it generated. Some people cheered, others raged, and many had strong opinions on both sides. But here’s the real question: Can RFK Jr. actually make a difference in America’s declining health? Or is this just another political shake-up that won’t change the fact that we are sicker, fatter, and more dependent on big pharma than ever before? In this episode, I break down: · The viral social media post and why it sparked such a reaction · The shocking reality of America’s declining metabolic health (only 6.8% of Americans are metabolically healthy!) · The role of government in health policy - should we rely on politicians to fix our broken system? · Why radical change is necessary to fight back against big food, big pharma, and government corruption · What YOU can do to take control of your health and thrive, regardless of policy changes If you’re frustrated with the current state of health in America and want to take charge of your own well-being, this episode is for you.

The Art of Conscious Aging: Embracing Life’s Third Act with Wayne Lehrer
Send us a textIn this inspiring episode, Kevin English sits down with Wayne Lehrer, author of The Art of Conscious Aging, to explore what it truly means to thrive in life’s third act. Wayne shares his transformative journey from feeling "bulletproof" in his youth to facing the undeniable realities of aging - and how this shift became the catalyst for profound personal growth. About Today’s Guest:At 73 years old, Wayne Lehrer is living an inspired Third Act, but that wasn’t true a decade ago. Having been a World’s Fair & Theme Park Designer, IMAX Filmmaker, Master Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Health Advocate, International Workshop Leader, Sculptor, and Author, it all changed at 62 when the reality of aging forced him to question everything he’d ever thought about himself - health, identity, longevity, purpose, and what “really matters” in our later years. Through 10 years of research, coaching, and soul-searching, Wayne distilled The Art of Conscious Aging, an Operating Manual for the Third Act. His work offers a road map, role models, and a vision of the extraordinary possibilities available to each of us as we become the hero of our Third Act, resurrecting as the best version of ourselves. Key Topics Discussed:· Wayne’s personal awakening to the realities of aging and how it shaped his life’s mission· What is conscious aging and why it matters· The “Third Act Identity Crisis” and how to navigate it with grace· Shifting from independence to interdependence and the value of community· Why your best years can still be ahead of you—and how to make them count· The importance of purpose, curiosity, and contribution in later life· Embracing elderhood as a time of wisdom, giving back, and authentic happiness Connect with Wayne Lehrer:· Website: https://waynelehrer.com· Wayne Lehrer’s book: The Art of Conscious Aging - https://www.amazon.com/Art-Conscious-Aging-Happiness-Purpose/dp/2186028905/· YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/waynelehrer· Instagram: @lehrerwayne· Email: [email protected] Connect with Kevin English & The Silver Edge:- Website: https://silveredgefitness.com- Instagram: @thesilver_edge- Join the Over 50 Lean Body Blueprint Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/silveredgefitness Loved This Episode?If you enjoyed this conversation, please consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.

Gym Fail: The Biggest Mistakes Trainers Make with People Over 50
Send us a textEver walked into a gym, excited to get back in shape, only to be handed a cookie-cutter workout that makes no sense for your body or your goals? You're not alone. In today’s episode, I share a real-life all too common gym horror story - one that plays out in gyms across the country every single day. A well-meaning but inexperienced young trainer leads a 50-something client through one of the most ineffective workouts I’ve ever seen. And unfortunately, this type of programming is all too common for people in their 50s and 60s who are looking to get lean, strong, and fit. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: · The top red flags that signal it’s time to fire your personal trainer · The seven essential movement patterns every over-50 workout should include · Why “boring and consistent” beats flashy and random every time · The dangers of a no-pain, no-gain mentality for older adults · How to find a coach who truly understands your needs and goals If you're investing your time and money in a personal trainer, you deserve to work with someone who knows how to help you build strength, lose fat, and increase your vitality—without wasting time on ineffective workouts.
