Stress. We all deal with it - but few of us realize just how much it’s wrecking our health, our waistlines, and even our ability to age well.
In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin pulls back the curtain on the sneaky ways unmanaged stress sabotages your body composition, hormones, sleep, and energy. From the evolutionary role of the stress response (hello, saber-toothed tigers!) to the reality of living in modern times with caveman wiring, you’ll discover why your body reacts to traffic jams and nasty emails the same way it once reacted to predators - and why that’s such a problem for your health today.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between acute stress (the good kind) and chronic stress (the body-breaking kind)
- How stress physiology works under the hood (and why it was never designed for 24/7 use)
- The many flavors of stress - biological, environmental, psychological, and even existential
- Why stress sabotages fat loss, muscle recovery, and sleep quality - especially over 50
- Practical, real-world strategies to master your response and turn stress from a foe into a force for strength
From simple tools like breathing, walking, and gratitude, to bigger practices like Stoicism, prayer, and living with purpose - this episode is packed with actionable takeaways to help you manage stress, reclaim your energy, and finally build the lean, strong, capable body you deserve in the second half of life.
So if you’ve ever felt tired, foggy, stuck, or frustrated with your health despite “doing everything right” - this one’s for you.
Tune in now and learn how to stop letting stress run the show and start using it as fuel for your healthiest, strongest years yet.
