    The Psychology That Makes Exercise Easier | Jonathan Ross

    What if losing 100 pounds didn't require shame, extremes, or misery? In this powerful episode of the Fit Over 50 Life Podcast, we sit down with Jonathan Ross—multiple-time Personal Trainer of the Year, creator of FunTensity, author, and internationally recognized fitness educator—to talk about what actually works when it comes to lasting weight loss. Jonathan's story is deeply personal. He grew up with parents who weighed over 800 pounds combined, and he lost his father at 424 pounds. That experience shaped his life's work: helping people lose weight in a way that feels human, sustainable, and even enjoyable. In this conversation, we cover: Why weight loss fails when it's driven by punishment and shame The biggest lie people tell themselves: "I've tried everything" How small changes + time create massive transformation Why willpower isn't the problem—and never was The role of environment, habits, and hyper-palatable foods How to reconnect health goals to what you love and who you love Why fitness should feel more like play and less like torture How curiosity, fun, and community can unlock consistency The mindset shift that turns "starting over" into real momentum This is one of our most honest, emotional, and inspiring episodes—especially for anyone who feels stuck on the weight-loss hamster wheel or believes it's "too late" to change. If you're over 50 and want a healthier body, more energy, and a process you can actually stick with… this episode will change how you think about weight loss.   Learn more about Jonathan Ross: Website https://www.funtensity.com Instagram @funtensity :https://www.instagram.com/funtensity/ @jonathanrossfit :https://www.instagram.com/jonathanrossfit/ Facebook Funtensity https://www.facebook.com/Funtensity/ Jonathan Ross Fitnesshttps://www.facebook.com/jonathanrossfit/ X (Twitter) @JonathanRossFit https://x.com/JonathanRossFit LinkedIn Jonathan Ross https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanrossfit/   #FitOver50Life #WeightLossAfter50 #SustainableWeightLoss #BehaviorChange #MindsetMatters #Longevity #HealthAfter50 #FitnessMotivation #FunTensity #LiveYoungForALifetime

    100 Is the New 30 — The Real Blueprint for Reversing Aging | Dr. Jeffrey Gladden

    What if aging isn't something you simply accept… but something you can strategically optimize?   In this episode of Fit Over 50 Life, we sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Gladden—board-certified interventional cardiologist and founder of Gladden Longevity—to explore what it really takes to live young for a lifetime.   After facing his own midlife collapse marked by exhaustion, brain fog, weight gain, anxiety, and depression—despite being told his labs were "normal for his age"—Dr. Gladden refused to accept decline as inevitable. That decision led him away from traditional cardiology and into the frontier of longevity medicine, health optimization, and human potential.   This conversation goes beyond slowing aging. It lays out a clear, intelligent framework for reversing decline and rebuilding vitality.   In this episode, you'll learn: Why "normal for your age" may be the most dangerous phrase in healthcare How people unknowingly normalize energy loss—and how to identify it early Dr. Gladden's 5 Circles of Longevity and where to start without overwhelm Why testing matters more than guessing—and which tests offer the most insight The role of hormones, thyroid, metabolism, and mitochondria in aging How to train for strength, power, VO₂ max, and performance after 50 Why environment, toxins, and nutrient density directly impact longevity The mindset shift required to move from aging… to age optimization   This episode isn't about trends or quick fixes. It's about understanding your biology, asking better questions, and building a strategy that supports energy, performance, and resilience for decades to come.   If you're over 50 and want a smarter, clearer roadmap for longevity—this conversation will change how you think about aging and what's truly possible.   #FitOver50Life #Longevity #HealthyAging #AgeOptimization #LiveYoungForALifetime #HealthOptimization #Biohacking #HormoneHealth #EnergyAfter50 #PerformanceAfter50 #FunctionalMedicine #LongevityMedicine #MindBodyHealth #HumanPotential #AgingWell

    She Lived In A Cave For 60 Days And Here's What It Taught Her About Life| Lauren Donahue

    What would happen if you unplugged from everything you rely on every day? In this episode of Fit Over 50 Life, Lauren Donahue shares one of the most powerful experiences of her life—spending 60 days living in a cave with no technology, no comfort, and no distractions. What she discovered wasn't just physical resilience, but a deep sense of peace, clarity, and purpose that many of us are missing today. Lauren opens up about how constant noise and screen time quietly drive burnout, stress, and emotional fatigue—especially as we get older. This conversation is a reminder that slowing down isn't falling behind. It's how we reset. Key lessons from this episode: Everything in life is borrowed. When Lauren lost all comfort and control, she learned to treat time, relationships, and health with deeper gratitude. Disconnection fuels burnout. Starting the day in reactive mode—texts, emails, news—keeps us stressed. Creating quiet space first changes how we show up. Purpose lives in stillness. When distractions disappear, clarity shows up. Lauren found her "why" by learning to sit with herself. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, restless, or disconnected, this episode offers a grounded and practical perspective on how to reclaim peace—without escaping your real life. Watch the full episode of Fit Over 50 Life. This one might change how you see your mornings—and your life. #FitOver50 #HealthyAging #LongevityLifestyle #MindsetOver50 #BurnoutRecovery #StressRelief #PurposeDrivenLife #MentalClarity #UnplugToReconnect #WellnessOver50
