If you’re over 50 and feel like dieting has become harder, slower, and more frustrating than ever — you’re not imagining it.

What used to work in your 20s and 30s suddenly backfires:

🚫 The weight doesn’t budge

🚫 Hunger ramps up

🚫 Energy tanks

🚫 You regain weight faster than you lost it

And after a few decades of repeating this cycle, it’s easy to believe “Something is wrong with me.”

But the truth is much simpler (and far more hopeful)… you're not failing because you lack discipline - you're failing because you're using strategies designed for younger bodies.

In today’s episode, Coach Kevin breaks down:

• Why dieting stops working after 50
• What changes in your metabolism as you age
• Why under-eating and over-cardio do more harm than good
• The REAL reason you keep regaining weight
• And the simple, sustainable approach that actually works for long-term fat loss

This episode is part myth-busting, part science, and part pep talk — but it all comes back to one core idea: You don’t need a smaller body — you need a healthier metabolism.

💪 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why crash diets lead to muscle loss (and slower metabolism)
• Why cardio is the most overrated fat loss strategy for older adults
• The 3 big mistakes almost everyone makes after 50
• Why your body resists weight loss more as you age
• The metabolism-building approach that actually works
• How to lose fat without starving yourself or wrecking your hormones
• Why “punishment-based dieting” guarantees failure
• The sustainable framework that makes fat loss easier — not harder

If you’ve lost the same 20 pounds over and over again, this episode explains why it keeps happening - and how to break the cycle for good.

Fat loss after 50 isn’t about burning more calories — it’s about building a metabolism that burns calories for you.

Do you ever feel bloated, foggy, exhausted, constipated, gassy, inflamed, anxious, or just… “not yourself?”

Do you grind your teeth, drool at night, get weird cravings, or feel especially off during a full moon?

Well, today’s episode might explain everything.

This week I’m joined by Kim Rogers — former medical insider turned medical rebel — better known as the Worm Queen. She has built a massive global community by exposing a truth most of us don’t want to think about:

👉 95% of us have parasites living inside our bodies

👉 They steal your nutrients, disrupt your hormones, and hijack your mood

👉 They thrive on sugar, stress, and aging bodies

👉 And they are REALLY good at hiding

Kim shares her personal story of nearly dying from chronic mysterious illness, walking away from Western medicine, and discovering that her body was loaded with parasites, mold, and toxins — despite decades of medical intervention.

Today she’s on a mission to help people heal from the inside out, using strategies that are natural, science-backed, and (fair warning) occasionally graphic, hilarious, and deeply gross.

🧪 Meet the ParaFy Parasite Cleanse Kit (THE Protocol We Discuss in This Episode)

If you want to:

• Reduce bloating, gas, constipation, or IBS
• Improve mood, energy, and mental clarity
• Support immune, liver, and gut health
• Improve skin, sleep, and inflammation
• Feel lighter, leaner, and more vibrant
• And get your sexy confidence back…

…then you’ll want to grab a ParaFy Parasite Cleanse Kit and start your 30-day reset.

I personally completed this cleanse, and I can tell you with 100% sincerity:

👉 I am way less wormy than I was a month ago

👉 I feel fantastic — mentally, physically, and emotionally

👉 This was one of the weirdest, wildest, most impactful health experiments of my life

Most people wait until January 1st to “get serious”… but the truth is, your success (or failure) begins long before the calendar flips. In this powerful Monday Mile, Coach Kevin breaks down the 5 essential steps every man and woman over 50 should follow BEFORE starting a diet — plus a bonus step that could completely change your 2026 results.

If you’re tired of losing and regaining the same weight…

If you’re done with quick fixes, crash diets, and broken promises to yourself…

If you want 2026 to finally be *your* year to build a lean, strong, capable body…

Then this episode is your blueprint!

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why you should not start dieting during the holidays - and why metabolic restoration is the key to long-term fat loss success.
• The one habit every successful dieter does BEFORE cutting calories - (and why 90% of people skip it — sabotaging themselves before they even begin.)
• How to figure out your REAL maintenance calories - so you’re not guessing, winging it, or following a plan made for a 20-year-old.
• The protein target every over-50 adult should hit - and how bumping up your protein NOW makes fat loss easier later.
• Why strength training is non-negotiable - if you want to look, feel, and perform like someone years younger.
• A simple strategy to prevent holiday weight gain - without “being good,” white-knuckling it, or skipping the foods you love.

If you’re in your 50s or 60s and feeling like your metabolism has slowed down, your energy isn’t what it used to be, or that stubborn weight is getting harder to lose… this episode is going to be a game-changer.

Today I’m joined by Dr. Annie Lampella, the creator of KetoFocus, bestselling cookbook author, and nutrition expert with a deep background in genetics, metabolism, and biochemistry. After her second child, Annie lost 70 pounds at a time when “keto” barely existed in the mainstream… and over the last 13+ years, she’s refined that approach into a sustainable, high-protein, low-carb lifestyle that supports fat loss, muscle maintenance, energy, and longevity.

In this episode, we cut through the confusion and talk about what actually matters for people over 50 who want to lose fat, build muscle, and age strong.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why keto worked for Annie - and why it’s evolved into a more balanced low-carb, high-protein approach
• The truth about ketosis, insulin, metabolic flexibility, and fat-burning (made simple and practical)
• Why strict keto is hard to sustain long-term - and what to do instead
• How carbs fit into a healthy diet after 50 (and what it means to “earn your carbs”)
• The #1 macronutrient most people over 50 are severely undereating
• Why protein is absolutely essential for preventing muscle loss, increasing strength, and improving metabolism
• How aging affects appetite, digestion, and protein absorption - and why that means you need more protein, not less
• The biggest breakfast mistakes people make - and how to hit 30–40 grams of protein every morning
• Simple, high-protein meal ideas, snacks, and hacks you can start using today
• How to protect your muscles, bones, balance, and independence as you age
• Annie’s favorite protein sources, protein powders, and daily habits
• Why strength training + high protein is the ultimate anti-aging combo

Why This Matters for Anyone Over 50

Most men and women in their 50s and 60s aren’t struggling because of age - they’re struggling because of decades of low-protein, low-muscle, high-carb, highly processed eating. The good news? You can reverse so much of this with the right nutrition and training strategy. Annie and I break down exactly how to get started in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and enjoyable.

This week on then Monday Mile edition of the Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, we’re diving into YOUR questions — the real, messy, “why is my body doing this?” stuff that so many men and women over 50 struggle with. From confusing lab results to hormonal shifts to the dreaded “last 10 pounds,” we dig into what actually matters for sustainable fat loss and vibrant health… and what’s just expensive noise.

If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office thinking, “My labs look fine, but I feel terrible,” or wondered whether peptides, hormone therapy, or heavy-metal testing are worth your time and money, this episode will cut through the confusion with clear, honest answers.

Inside This Episode:

🔥 The Lab Tests Your Doctor Probably Isn’t Running

We cover why the standard annual blood panel misses critical markers — and which tests actually give you a fuller picture of energy, vitality, and long-term health.

🔥 Hormones vs. Habits: What REALLY Moves the Needle

Testosterone, thyroid, cortisol — we break down the heavy hitters, what matters, and what you don’t need to obsess about (or biohack to death).

🔥 Heavy Metals & Toxicity: Should You Be Worried?

We explore when these tests are useful… and when they’re just another shiny distraction dressed up as “optimization.”

🔥 Calories, TDEE, and Why 825 Isn’t Your Number (I Promise)

A listener running 825 calories/day through a calculator sparks a conversation about metabolic math, brain-based resistance, and the psychology behind chronic undereating.

🔥 The Real Reason the Last 10 Pounds Are So Hard

Spoiler: It’s not your age. It’s not your genetics. And it’s definitely not because you need a detox tea. We unpack the mindset, metabolic factors, and consistency patterns behind those final stubborn pounds.

🔥 Chasing Challenges vs. Building Real Progress

If you’ve ever hopped from program to program (or from challenge to cleanse to 30-day reset), we’ll talk about why that keeps you stuck — and how to get out of the cycle for good.

Why This Episode Matters

Because midlife shouldn’t feel like a slow decline. You deserve to feel strong, energized, and capable — and you deserve clarity instead of confusion. This episode will help you make better decisions, avoid wasted money, and focus on the things that truly matter for sustainable results.

Listen Now

This is one of the most practical and eye-opening Q&A episodes we’ve done — and it’s guaranteed to give you at least one “ah-ha!” moment that changes the way you look at your health.

In this powerful episode, Kevin English sits down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and founder of Fusionary Formulas, to unpack the silent force that accelerates aging: inflammaging.

Dr. Shivani blends the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with cutting-edge functional medicine to reveal how chronic low-grade inflammation can rob you of energy, vitality, focus, and hormonal balance - and what you can do right now to reverse it.

You’ll discover how your gut, sleep, stress, and even your spice rack play a role in fighting inflammation naturally. From turmeric and ginger to self-care rituals and “mental inflammation” resets, this conversation will leave you inspired to take back control of your health and age vibrantly.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What inflammaging really is - and how it speeds up the aging process
• How Ayurveda’s 5,000-year-old principles align with modern science
• The connection between gut health, mood, metabolism, and inflammation
• Why your dosha (body type) may influence your health and energy
• The truth about turmeric, super-spices, and natural anti-inflammatories
• Simple daily detox rituals (like tongue scraping and oil pulling) that work

Ever feel like your workouts have hit a wall? You’re showing up, lifting the weights, doing “all the right things”… but the results just aren’t coming like they used to?

In this week’s Monday Mile episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin reveals one of the most overlooked - and most powerful - secrets to getting more out of every single workout: the mind–muscle connection.

Whether you’re brand new to strength training or have been lifting for years, this simple concept can completely transform how your body responds to exercise - especially if you’re in your 50s or 60s. It’s not about heavier weights or fancy new moves… it’s about learning to feel your muscles work with purpose and precision.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

• What the mind–muscle connection really is (and why it’s not “woo-woo” science)
• How to instantly tell if you’re actually training a muscle—or just moving weight
• The simple mental shift that can reignite your strength and muscle growth
• Why this technique is especially critical for men and women over 50
• Practical ways to build better focus, control, and muscle activation in every rep

Why It Matters

This isn’t about doing more - it’s about doing better. When you master the mind–muscle connection, you’ll get better results from the same workouts you’re already doing. Think less joint pain, better form, stronger contractions, and more visible definition.

What if the key to feeling younger, stronger, and more vibrant wasn’t hidden in some futuristic lab - but inside your own body?

In this week’s episode, Kevin sits down with Dr. Dan Pardi, Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences and one of today’s leading experts on behavior change, performance, sleep, and longevity science.

Together they explore how stem cells - the body’s natural repair system affect the way we age, recover, and regenerate. You’ll discover why “health span” matters more than lifespan, how your lifestyle choices influence stem-cell function, and what you can do right now to support regeneration from the inside out.

What You’ll Learn:

• What stem cells actually are—and why they’re central to aging and repair
• The difference between lifespan and health span, and why the latter matters most
• How poor sleep, stress, and diet accelerate cellular aging
• The behavior-change framework Dr. Pardi created to help people adopt lasting healthy habits
• Why we become more sensitive to both healthy and unhealthy choices as we age
• The fascinating link between performance, recovery, and longevity
• The future of regenerative medicine - and what’s available right now

About Dr. Dan Pardi

Dr. Pardi holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Leiden University and Stanford, and a Master’s in Exercise Physiology from Florida State.

Think you’re eating clean? Think again.

In this special Monday Mile edition of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin takes you inside a real Silver Edge Collective coaching call — where our community took on a powerful nutrition challenge inspired by Dr. Casey Means’ book Good Energy.

The challenge was simple — but not easy. Over four weeks, members systematically removed sugar, refined grains, and industrial seed oils from their diets. What started as a fun experiment quickly turned into an eye-opening wake-up call about how much “healthy” food is secretly ultra-processed.

Join Kevin and the team as they share honest stories, surprising discoveries, and practical insights from week one — no added sugar or sweeteners. You’ll learn what foods tripped them up, what shifted in their cravings and energy, and why food awareness (not perfection) is the real secret to sustainable health.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why even the healthiest eaters are often fooled by hidden sugars
• The surprising sources of sweeteners sneaking into your daily routine
• How a “no sugar” week can reset your taste buds and boost your energy
• Why awareness — not restriction — is the key to long-term success
• A simple 3-week challenge you can start today to clean up your metabolism before the holidays

Challenge of the Week

Try your own Good Energy Reset!*

1. Week 1: Eliminate all sugar and sweeteners (yes, even the “healthy” ones)
2. Week 2: Ditch refined grains
3. Week 3: Cut out processed seed oils 

Notice how your body responds — and what foods sneak into your day without you realizing it.

Listen Now

Lace up your sneakers, hit play, and walk your first mile of the week with Coach Kevin.
