Every January, millions of people make the same promise: “This year will be different.”

New diet.

New motivation.

New rules.

And for a few weeks… it works.

But by February, most people are right back where they started - frustrated, discouraged, and convinced the problem is them.

In this Monday Mile episode of the Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin explains why New Year’s resolutions and diets almost always fail - especially after 50 - and what to do instead if you want this year to be the last time you ever start over.

This episode isn’t about trying harder.

It’s about changing the game.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why New Year’s diet resolutions fail almost every time (and why it’s not a willpower issue)
• Why motivation is unreliable - and what actually drives long-term success
• The powerful mindset shift from dieting to identity
• Why falling in love with the process matters more than chasing the finish line
• How small, boring habits compound into massive results over time
• Why systems beat motivation every single time
• The missing ingredient most people overlook: tribe and accountability
• How to stop starting over - and finally build a lifestyle that lasts

Ready to Make This the Year You Stop Starting Over?

Registration for the Silver Edge Collective is open right now - but only until January 7.

The Collective is a coaching community for men and women over 50 who want to:

• Lose fat without wrecking their metabolism

This episode is about you stepping into your most beautiful life, your most beautiful self. It’s about examining your behaviors and being mindful. It’s about growth and self-experimentation. And ultimately, it’s about becoming – and owning – your most authentic self.

If you’ve ever wondered what the Silver Edge Collective actually is — and more importantly, whether it’s right for you — this episode pulls back the curtain.

In this special Monday Mile edition of the Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin sits down with three real members of the Silver Edge Collective to share their honest, unfiltered experiences inside the program.

No hype.

No salesy fluff.

Just real people, real stories, and real results.

You’ll hear from Joe, Monica, and Eric — men and women in their 50s who were tired of crash diets, endless cardio, and starting over every January… and finally found a smarter, more sustainable path forward.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• What the Silver Edge Collective actually is (and what it’s not)
• Why community and accountability are the true secret weapons for lasting success after 50
• How members are losing fat, building muscle, and eating more food — not less
• Why traditional dieting and cardio-heavy approaches stop working in midlife
• How strength training protects your independence, mobility, and confidence as you age
• What it feels like to train alongside people who get it — same stage of life, same goals
• Why so many members say, “I wish I had joined sooner.”

This episode is especially powerful if you:

• Are over 50 and frustrated that “what used to work” no longer does
• Want to lose weight without sacrificing muscle or energy
• Care deeply about aging well and staying strong for decades to come
• Know you need support, structure, and accountability — not another diet

This episode shows what’s possible when you stop fighting your body — and start working with it.

NOTE: This episode originally aired in August 2024.

Welcome to The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show! In today’s episode, host Kevin English is joined by Silver Edge coach and Program Director Monica Jacobs for an in-depth conversation about one of the biggest challenges many of us face: staying motivated.

If you’ve ever struggled to keep your motivation high when it comes to losing weight, getting in shape, or sticking to your health goals, this episode is for you. Kevin and Monica share their top strategies for keeping that motivation well full and discuss why motivation alone isn’t always enough. 

Key Topics Discussed:

Understanding Motivation: The difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and why knowing your "why" is crucial.

Creating a Positive Environment: How surrounding yourself with the right people and influences can make or break your success.

Embracing Challenges: Why doing hard things is essential for growth and how it can refill your motivation well.

Tracking Progress & Celebrating Wins: The importance of small victories and how to measure your progress effectively.

The Power of Social Support: How a community, workout buddy, or coach can keep you on track and motivated.

Falling in Love with the Process: Why sustainable success comes from enjoying the journey, not just focusing on the end goal.

Every January, millions of people swear this will be their year… only to watch their motivation fizzle out by February.

If you’re over 50 and tired of repeating that cycle, this episode will show you exactly why resolutions fail — and how YOU can become the exception.

Coach Kevin breaks down the real, science-backed reasons most people lose steam after the first few weeks of the new year. (Hint: it has nothing to do with discipline, motivation, or “trying harder.”)

This episode cuts through the noise and gives you a simple, powerful blueprint to approach 2026 differently — without starvation, guilt, or unrealistic expectations.

💪 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why 92% of resolutions fail within weeks
• The real reason willpower isn’t enough (especially after 50)
• How motivation tricks you into choosing the wrong plan
• Why fast weight loss destroys your metabolism
• How to build a strategy your 50+ body will actually respond to
• The 5-step method for becoming the *exception* this year
• How to avoid the “January misery loop”
• Why accountability is non-negotiable if you want lasting change

Resolutions fail because they rely on motivation and punishment. Success happens when you rely on structure, strategy, and support.

When you build the right habits — not heroic efforts — you stop failing resolutions because you stop needing them.

🚀 YOUR NEXT STEP

If you're tired of:

• Starting over every January
• Making bold resolutions that never stick
• Feeling frustrated with slow metabolism or stubborn weight
• Trying to do everything alone
• Falling back into old habits by February

Then it’s time to follow a different approach.

Enrollment for The Silver Edge Collective** opens **December 27.

The Collective gives you:

💥 Personalized nutrition coaching

💥 Strength training programs that actually work for people over 50

💥 Weekly accountability

💥 Support, structure, and community

💥 A proven system designed for long-term success

If you’re over 50 and feel like the only way to lose weight is to starve yourself, do more cardio, or “get more disciplined”… this episode is going to flip your entire perspective.

Because the truth is simple: Most people don’t fail fat loss because they overeat —

they fail because they under-eat, over-cardio, and stress their metabolism into the floor.

In this episode, Coach Kevin breaks down the real science of fat loss after 50 and shows you how to finally lose weight without misery, restriction, or metabolic damage.

If long-term fat loss has felt impossible… this episode will show you exactly why — and how to fix it.

💪 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why starvation diets cause weight regain
• The hidden reasons your metabolism slows after 50
• Why “eat less, move more” completely fails older adults
• The difference between calorie-burning and metabolism-building
• The role of protein in hunger, muscle, and fat loss
• How strength training transforms your metabolism
• Why recovery matters more now than ever
• The simple roadmap to lose fat without losing muscle

If you lose weight by starving yourself, your body will force you to regain it. But if you lose weight by building muscle and supporting your metabolism, the results actually stick.

This single shift can change your entire relationship with food, fat loss, and the fitness industry.

🚀 YOUR NEXT STEP

If you're tired of:

Yo-yo dieting

Gaining the weight back

Feeling exhausted

Watching your metabolism slow down

Trying plan after plan with the same disappointing results…

Then it’s time to follow a strategy built specifically for people over 50.

Enrollment for The Silver Edge Collective opens December 27.

The Collective helps you:

✅ Lose fat sustainably

✅ Build muscle

✅ Boost your metabolism

✅ Improve hormones

✅ And finally get off the diet roller coaster

If you're over 50 and feel like you’re eating clean, exercising, doing “all the right things” — yet the scale won’t budge — you’re not broken.

You’re just stuck in strategies that don’t work for an aging metabolism.

In this episode, Coach Kevin breaks down the 3 most common mistakes that keep people over 50 overweight — even when they’re trying hard:

1. Eating too little (not too much)

2. Relying on cardio as a fat-loss strategy

3. Trying to do everything alone

These mistakes create a vicious cycle:

✋🏼 Muscle loss

✋🏼 Slower metabolism

✋🏼 Increased hunger and cravings

✋🏼 Rapid weight regain

✋🏼 And another painful “start over” every January

Not because you lack discipline… but because your body is doing what it thinks it needs to do to survive.

This conversation isn’t about blame — it’s about understanding your biology and learning how to work with it instead of against it.

💪 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why under-eating makes you gain more weight over time
• How cardio sabotages fat loss after 50
• Why “just try harder” never works long-term
• The difference between calorie burning and metabolism building
• Why going it alone practically guarantees failure
• A simple 5-step roadmap for sustainable fat loss
• How to eat, train, and recover to actually change your body
• Why fat loss becomes easier when your body feels safe

This episode gives you the clarity and confidence to stop chasing quick fixes — and start building a stronger body that works FOR you.

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

🚀 YOUR NEXT STEP

If you’re tired of dieting, regaining, and starting over every January…

And you want a plan designed specifically for men and women over 50…

Enrollment for The Silver Edge Collective opens December 27.

The Collective helps you:

💥 Lose fat

💥 Build strength

💥 Boost metabolism

💥 And feel confident again

without starvation, shame, or endless cardio.

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
