Classic Rewind - Lose 20 Pounds in 2 Months! Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

Today we have another edition of the Coaches Corner – so no guest today – it’s just me, and we’ll be back next week with our regular interview format. Today I want to talk about rapid fat loss. Specifically, what’s involved with losing weight in a manner that’s sustainable for the rest of your life. It seems to me that we don’t so much have a problem losing weight – we have a problem maintaining our hard-won weight loss. And really what we need is a diet exit strategy. If you’ve struggled with maintaining weight loss, you’ll definitely want to give this episode a listen!

Classic Rewind - Jiu-Jitsu Grandma Elaine Beiersdoerfer Aug 22, 2023

I know I’ve asked this before, but what does a 72 year old woman look like? What is she capable of? What are her limitations? Many of us have preconceived notions of what a 72 year old could - or could not - do. When we conjure up images of 72 year olds, we might think of a bespeckled grandmotherly woman in a rocking chair with her knitting on her lap. Certainly we wouldn't imagine this woman fighting. I mean, like really, actually physically fighting another person. Would we?

My guest this week on the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast is Elaine Beiersdoerfer. Elaine is a 72 year old grandmother of seven, who regularly practices and competes in judo in jujitsu. She's four foot 11 and weighs in at just over a hundred pounds, and to call her spunky would fall woefully short. Join us this week as we as Elaine discusses how she took up judo and jiujitsu at age 69, and her thoughts on staying mentally and physically sharp as we age. You can connect with Elaine on Instagram @jiujitsu_grandma.

When today’s guest initially reached out to me about potentially coming on this show, I have to admit I didn’t have particularly high expectations. I knew he was a dog lover – side note, that makes him a great guy in my book – and I knew he had an amazing health transformation and had written a book about it.

But as you’re about to hear, today’s guest completely exceeded my expectations. When this guy says his dog saved his life and taught him transformational life lessons – he’s not kidding. If you’re someone who feels stuck, who suspects they may not be living up to their full potential, or if you’re just a sucker for a great transformation story, stick around. Today’s episode is going to inspire you think differently and to step into the healthiest version of yourself – physically, mentally, and emotionally.

My guest today is Jeff Goodrich. Jeff is the author of the new book "Dude and Duder, How my dog saved my life" Jeff has captivated readers with his unique insights and strategies for personal growth and empowerment.

Jeff's journey started in midlife and includes remarkable personal milestones, including; losing 70 pounds, completing several marathons and ultramarathons, and repairing his marriage of 30 plus years. These experiences have shaped his understanding of resilience, determination, and the power of personal transformation.

The Power of Intermittent Fasting with Laurie Lewis Aug 09, 2023

Show notes

Text us a comment or question!

Today, we're turning back the clock to revisit a topic that has resonated with many of you: Intermittent Fasting for Vibrant Health.

You may recall last Friday's Coach’s Corner episode focusing on intermittent fasting for
weight loss, an episode met with tremendous enthusiasm. Well, your positive
feedback has inspired me to delve into the podcast archives and bring back a
transformative conversation from December 2021 with the esteemed Laurie Lewis.

Laurie is not just an author and Intermittent Fasting coach; she's a living testament to the power of resilience and self-discovery. With 22 years of nutrition study under
her belt, Laurie found herself at a crossroads, 50 pounds overweight at the
onset of menopause. The next five years were a struggle, but today, at 58, she
is triumphant, vibrant, and "vibrantly alive" by her own account.

Our engaging conversation challenged some of my own beliefs about intermittent fasting and led me to adopt a 12-hour fasting routine, a practice I continue to honor.

Whether you're a longtime listener or new to our wellness community, this episode holds valuable insights for everyone. If you're seeking a path to reclaim your health,
strength, and vitality—all while enjoying the foods that nourish your body and
soul—you won't want to miss Laurie's wisdom.

Join us this week as we explore Laurie's personal journey and uncover her unique prescription for living a robust and vibrant life, even as we age. Rediscover the joy of eating the foods you love and embracing a lifestyle that loves you back, right here on
the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast.

Text us a comment or question!

Hey folks, Coach Kevin here. Today we have another classic rewind episode for you, and today I’m reaching way back in the archives – all the way back to March of 2021. And as you’ll soon hear – this was back before I discovered the magic of intro and outro music!

Today we’re going to talk about grief and gratitude with Debbie Waines. Debbie’s journey hasn't always been smooth sailing; far from it, it's been punctuated with instances of profound grief and loss. But it's precisely these deep chasms of sorrow that have been Debbie's greatest teachers.

She’s been in the trenches of grief and has
battled her way back, bringing with her invaluable lessons about healing and
recovery – and even joy. Today, she's committed her life to aiding others in
their own healing journeys through her impactful coaching services.

She has gone from a state of overwhelming
grief to an extraordinary life filled with gratitude.

So, prepare yourself to be inspired as Debbie takes us on her incredible journey from heartbreak to joy and gratitude. Listen closely as she shares her pearls of wisdom on resilience, the healing power of exercise and nutrition, and how she's helping others find their own path to joy.

Grab your earbuds, everyone, and buckle up
for an emotional ride that will leave you full of awe and brimming with
inspiration.
