Today we have another episode of the Coach’s Corner today, so no guest – it’s just me – and we’ll be back next week with our normal interview format.

Today we have another episode of the Coach’s Corner today, so no guest – it’s just me – and we’ll be back next week with our normal interview format next week. So this week I want to give you a quick update on what’s happening over here at the Silver Edge, and then I want to share a live training I did over in our private Facebook group last week. The title of that training was 8 Weeks to Your Best Summer Body. I did have slides for this training, and you’ll hear me refer to them a couple of times, but I think the gist of what I’m saying will come across just fine in this audio only format.

Your Healthy Aging Prescription with Amy Wilson Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

Text us a comment or question!

We’re all at the age where – if we’re lucky enough to still have our parents with us – we’re watching them grow old., and we see ourselves in them. For some of you this might be in inspiration. Perhaps your parents are active and vital and are enjoying this phase of their lives.

But for others the picture might not be so bright. Perhaps you’ve watched your parents struggle with health issues and grow weak and frail in front of your very eyes. And their quality of life seems to revolve around medical issues and navigating their limitations.

My guest today is a geriatric pharmacist who works in assisted care facilities, and if you want to learn how to live your life now so you don’t end up meeting her in one of her homes in the future, you’re in the right place.

My guest today is Amy Wilson. Amy is a board certified geriatric pharmacist, fitness professional and certified nutrition coach who is passionate about helping people prevent and reverse diseases with nutrition and fitness so they can look and feel better than ever before. Join me this week as Amy shares the roadmap to strong healthy aging.

Exploring Functional Nutrition with Andrea Nakayama Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

Text us a comment or question!

I often like to say that while nutritional science and be vastly complex, eating healthy should be quite simple.

Most of us know the types of foods we should avoid and the types of foods that nourish our bodies and our minds. So why do so many of us struggle with maintaining a healthy weight? Why are so many of us sick? And why are metabolic illnesses – the so-called lifestyle diseases - on the rise at such alarming rates in spite of the fantastic advances in technology and medicine?

Today I want to invite into an in-depth discussion on the topic of functional medicine and more specifically functional nutrition. I want you to step back and reimagine medicine and nutrition and their role in healthy aging. To help you navigate the messy worlds of medicine, science, popular media, and your own bio-individuality.

My guest today is Andrea Nakayama. Andrea is the founder of Functional Nutrition Alliance, a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator, and the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast. Andrea is leading thousands of students and practitioners around the globe in a revolution to offer better solutions to the growing chronic illness epidemic by highlighting the importance of systems biology, root cause methodology, and therapeutic partnerships, and today she is going to help us reclaim ownership of our health.

Join us today as we explore the realm of functional nutrition and how to apply what we learn to our lives for optimal health as we age.
