    This Molecule Could Help You Live to 100+ (Here’s the Science) with Chris Burres

    Text us a comment or question! What if the key to living longer wasn’t just about diet and exercise - but something happening deep inside your cells? In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, I sit down with scientist and entrepreneur Chris Burres to explore one of the most fascinating - and controversial - topics in modern longevity science. We’re talking about a Nobel Prize-winning molecule, mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and what might be possible when it comes to extending both lifespan and healthspan. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Here we go… another miracle supplement…” - stick with me. Because this conversation is grounded in real science… and it might just change how you think about aging. Here’s What You’ll Learn Why we age (what’s actually happening inside your body)The role of oxidative stress and inflammation in agingWhat your mitochondria have to do with energy, fatigue, and longevityThe wild story behind a molecule that extended lifespan in animal studies by 90%What “longevity escape velocity” means—and why it matters for YOUHow improving sleep could be the most underrated longevity hackThe difference between lifespan vs. healthspan (and why you should care)Whether living to 100+ is realistic… or science fictionPractical ways to start improving your cellular health today  The Big Takeaway Aging isn’t just about getting older - it’s about what’s happening at the cellular level. And if we can reduce the damage happening inside our cells - especially in the mitochondria - we may be able to dramatically improve how we feel, function, and perform… well into our later decades. This isn’t about living longer just for the sake of it. It’s about living stronger, sharper, and more energized for as long as possible.   My Favorite Moment Chris breaks down the concept of “longevity escape velocity” - the idea that medical advancements may soon extend life faster than we age. Translation? If you can stay healthy long enough… you may benefit from breakthroughs that completely change the game.   Listen Now If you’re over 50 and want more energy, less inflammation, and a body that actually keeps up with your life… hit play and let’s dive in!   Connect with Chris Burres Learn more: https://www.myvitalc.com/silveredge Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myvitalc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/myvitalc Podcast: Live Beyond the Norms Book: Live Longer and Better   If you enjoyed this episode, do me a favor: Leave a 5 star review ⭐Share it with a friend who “feels older than they should”Tag me on Instagram @thesilver_edge  Ready for a Real Plan?

    He’s 66, Runs Marathons, and Eats ZERO Cooked Food (Raw Diet Explained) with Axay Shah

    Text us a comment or question! What if the biggest reason you feel tired, sluggish, and “older than you should”… has nothing to do with age - and everything to do with what’s on your plate? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Axay Shah, a 66-year-old marathon runner who hasn’t eaten cooked food in over 16 years. Yeah… you read that right. Axay believes that most of what we’ve been taught about food is flat-out wrong - and that the key to energy, longevity, and disease prevention lies in a raw, plant-based lifestyle. Now, whether you agree with him or not… this conversation will challenge your thinking. We dive into: Why he gave up cooked food entirelyWhat actually happens when you switch to raw foodsHis take on protein (and why he thinks it’s overhyped)What he eats in a typical dayAnd how he’s able to run marathons well into his 60s This isn’t about telling you to go 100% raw… It’s about opening your eyes to what might actually be holding you back.  What You’ll Learn The real reason Axay ditched cooked food—and never looked backWhy he believes most people are low-energy (and it’s NOT aging)The surprising truth about “dead food” vs “living food”His 5 rules for eating (and living) with more energyWhy most people are confused about protein—and what actually mattersHow to think differently about food, fuel, and your bodyThe mindset shift that can change your health in the second half of life📚 Resources & Links Book: In Nature We Trust by Axay Shah: https://www.amazon.com/Nature-We-Trust-Manifesto-Longevity/dp/B0GTC25W3Q/ Website: RawFoodist.com Website: InNatureWeTrust.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rawfoodiest/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcMjD0Aa8dUQvpaZ2NJhq6A   🙋🏼‍♀️ Ready to Take the Next Step?

    Over 50? This Is the Lie That’s Keeping You Weak, Tired, and Broken

    Text us a comment or question! 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 strength, energy, and confidence - no matter where they’re starting from. If you’ve been feeling stiff, tired, or like your body is working against you… this episode will flip your entire perspective.   In This Episode, You’ll Discover: Why you’re not “getting old”… you’re just getting inactiveThe biggest mistake people over 50 make when starting (or restarting) fitnessHow to overcome gym intimidation (even if it’s been decades)Why functional training beats “mirror muscles” every timeThe truth about deadlifts, back pain, and training safely after 50How strength training can actually reduce aches and painsThe simple weekly workout structure that works best after 50Why motivation is overrated—and what to rely on insteadThe role of nutrition (and why protein is non-negotiable)How to build a body that’s strong, capable, and ready for real life  Key Takeaway You are NOT broken. You are NOT too old. And your best years are NOT behind you. With the right training, mindset, and consistency—you can rebuild your body, reclaim your energy, and show up in life stronger than ever. 🔗 Connect with Heath Jones Want to learn more or train with Heath?
