Ever find yourself standing in front of the fridge, not even hungry, but still ready to pounce on the ice cream or chips?

You’re not alone - and you’re probably caught in the Emotional Hunger Trap.

In this Monday Mile episode of the Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin and Coach Jess break down why we so often eat for reasons that have nothing to do with physical hunger… and everything to do with boredom, stress, anxiety, or even celebration.

We’ll cover:

• The real difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger
• Why your cravings almost never involve broccoli
• A simple mindset shift to put space between impulse and action
• Practical tips to stop emotional eating before it starts
• How to stock your kitchen so “snack attacks” work in your favor

If you’ve ever wanted to take control of your cravings, build a leaner, stronger body, and still enjoy food without guilt, this quick hit of inspiration will help you step off the emotional eating hamster wheel - one intentional choice at a time.

You’ve seen the ads. You’ve read the labels. You’ve heard the promises: melt fat while you sleep, triple your testosterone, turn back the clock 20 years.

But here’s the truth - after five and a half years and 364 episodes of this podcast, this is the first time we’ve done a dedicated episode on supplements. And that’s because, outside of correcting obvious deficiencies, supplements are the last 1% of your healthy aging journey.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the $50 billion supplement industry, share my own (expensive) supplement journey, and give you the no-BS guide to what actually works for people over 50.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How the supplement industry exploded - and why it’s still the Wild West of wellness
• The biggest “buyer beware” red flags (and how to spot them)
• Why you should test before you buy (and my favorite at-home test)
• The supplements to avoid if you value your health and your wallet
• My Top 6 Supplements for Healthy Aging - the ones I personally take and recommend to clients
• How to make supplements work with your diet and training, not instead of them

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly where to spend your supplement dollars — and where not to waste them.

On this week’s Classic Rewind episode, we’re revisiting one of our most powerful conversations from the archive - because the message is just as relevant (and needed) today as it was when it first aired.

My guest is Jessica Procini, founder of Escape from Emotional Eating. Jessica is on a mission to help high-achieving women break free from the cycle of emotional eating - not by focusing on what’s on their plate, but by uncovering and healing the emotional and psychological roots driving the behavior.

In this candid and deeply insightful interview, Jessica shares her own journey with emotional eating - despite being a fitness instructor and nutrition school grad - and how traditional advice like “just eat healthier” or “try more willpower” completely missed the mark.

We explore:

• What emotional eating actually is (it’s not what you think)
• Why high performers are especially vulnerable to it
• The four hidden “roots” of emotional eating
• How stress, self-loathing, and even celebration can trigger it
• Why healing emotional eating goes far beyond therapy or meal plans
• A powerful tool to help you eat for energy - not emotion

If you’ve ever found yourself turning to food for comfort, stress relief, or simply to take the edge off a busy day, this episode is a must-listen.

From deadlifts to underwear tests (yes, really!), we’re giving you practical, easy-to-implement strategies to build a body that moves well - and keeps moving well - for decades to come.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why balance, mobility, and flexibility decline with age - and how to fight back
• How core strength is directly tied to balance and stability
• The difference between flexibility and mobility (and why you need both)
• Our favorite exercises for building balance and coordination
• The “Underwear Test” and “Shoe Challenge” – fun at-home ways to check your balance

Forget the overpriced powders and exotic berries with names you can’t pronounce. In today’s Monday Mile, Coach Kevin and Coach Monica break down 5 humble, everyday superfoods that should be staples in your over-50 nutrition plan.

These aren’t the trendy ingredients lighting up Instagram. They’re the tried-and-true nutrient powerhouses that actually fuel lean muscle, support fat loss, and help you feel strong, energized, and alive in the second half of life.

Spoiler alert: You probably already have some of these in your kitchen - but are you giving them the credit (and the plate space) they deserve?

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What actually makes a food a “superfood” (hint: it’s not the marketing)
• The breakfast food Coach Monica eats every single day - and why it’s a nutritional rockstar
• The one fish Coach Kevin swears by (and why it might make you squirm)
• Why simple, whole foods beat exotic powders every time - especially after 50
• Quick ideas to make these superfoods part of your daily routine

Why It Matters:

If you’re over 50 and trying to lose weight, build muscle, and reclaim your energy, your diet needs to work for you, not against you. These underrated foods are the quiet MVPs of vitality - and they're budget-friendly, easy to prepare, and actually taste good.
