In today’s episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, host Kevin English is joined by Silver Edge coach Russell Medeiros for an insightful discussion on how your metabolism works like a bank account. Are your daily habits making deposits that build health wealth, or are they causing withdrawals that drain your energy and vitality?

 

They cover everything from the dangers of excessive cardio and constant dieting to the importance of stress management, proper sleep, and movement. Kevin and Russell also share their thoughts on popular trends like intermittent fasting, and why certain "healthy" habits might be doing more harm than good. Whether you're wealthy in metabolic health or deep in debt, they offer practical strategies to help you make smart "investments" in your well-being.
