Jeff Krasno & Schuyler Grant: What Midlife Health Really Requires


Listen Later

What if the wellness advice you followed for years stops working after 50?


In this episode, wellness pioneers Jeff Krasno, co-founder of Wanderlust, and Schuyler Grant, founder of Kula Yoga Project, share how their approach to health quietly but radically shifted in midlife, and why many popular wellness habits fall short as we age.


With decades spent in yoga, wellness festivals, and lived experience, they share what actually matters now.


They share insights on:


- Why yoga alone isn’t enough after 50

- How muscle and strength shape metabolic and brain health

- The importance of diverse movement, not extremes

- How simple habits and presence support long-term well-being


This is a grounded, honest conversation about aging well — without hype or shortcuts.


👉 Watch now and rethink what midlife wellness really requires.
