192 - Embracing Healthy Aging - and Better Hearing: Kevin English's Journey to Better Health Over 50


Listen Later

In this engaging conversation with Gael Hannan, wellness and nutrition expert Kevin English recounts his transformative journey to improved health and addressing his hearing loss. Confronting challenges of weight, inactivity, and stress in his 40s, Kevin initiated substantial lifestyle changes after a hospitalization wake-up call.

Over the next decade, he honed healthy habits, and now approaching 60, Kevin serves as a full-time online nutrition coach and personal trainer, a testament to his commitment to holistic wellness. He is also the host of the popular podcast 'The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast'.
Despite years of family jokes about needing hearing aids, Kevin initially denied his hearing loss until a podcast interview with the CEO of HearUSA prompted him to undergo testing, revealing significant hearing loss. Embracing hearing aids markedly enhanced his participation in group conversations, leading Kevin to champion the importance of holistic wellness, particularly emphasizing the critical role of healthy hearing in cognitive health. Kevin advocates for a well-rounded approach to health, highlighting the significance of regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management, and quality sleep. He explores how proactive management of hearing health contributes to overall well-being, opening up new possibilities and enhancing life's quality at any age.
