Adam's dad died when he was only 49 years old. But when Adam turned 50, instead of using his father's passing to inspire him, it almost made him give up on life.

After celebrating his 50th birthday, Adam sank into a hole of despair. He ate too much, drank too often, and his marriage was on the verge of collapse—especially because E.D. issues kept showing up for him in the bedroom.

Adam wasn't happy with his life, his fitness, or in his marriage. But then he made a realization: He didn't have to spend the rest of his life miserable and lonely.

That's how he discovered the Sexual Wellness playlist on the Man Flow Yoga YouTube channel. After 30 days of following "yoga for E.D." workouts, he performed spontaneously with his wife—and the rest is history!

Today, Adam works out six times a week, has lost 70+ pounds, and has never had a better relationship with his wife.

Quotes from this episode's guest:

• (1:57) spent my 40s trying to be 30 again: I would work out in bursts. It was super intense and I would get myself hurt. And then I'd have to take weeks off being injured and I would sit around, feel sorry for myself and eat and drink too much.
• (2:55) But I really enjoyed the playlists. They were organized real well, like for your knees, for your back, for your sexual health, all those things that guys over 50 need. And I certainly needed help with all three of those.
• (5:30) That's what I realized. I've only got nine holes left. There's no more time to goof around. I want to be different. So I started really focusing on my fitness and my health. And Man Flow Yoga definitely was a part of that.
• (13:21) I'll be honest, this is the dumbest thing anybody's ever said, but I didn't even know men had a pelvic floor until you were like, "Breathe into your pelvic floor." I never paid attention to my pelvic floor. Now I can control it.
• (21:15) I still eat ice cream, I still have fries, just not all the time anymore. That was really the big thing.
• (23:00) I've lived in Florida for 22 years now, and last year was the first year I felt comfortable enough taking my shirt off at the beach. And that's huge for me, huge. /// We have a pool in our house. I used to swim in it with a T -shirt because even in my own house, I wasn't comfortable taking my shirt off. Now, I find any excuse to take my shirt off.
• (36:37) Start now. Don't wait. And everything you do is better than doing nothing. So if all you've got time for is a 10 minute walk, it beats sitting on the couch. Get up and do something.
