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.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
