The U.S. just released new dietary guidelines… and somehow protein, full-fat dairy, and eggs turned into a political battleground.
 
Depending on what headline you read, the new food pyramid is either:
 
the return of “common sense nutrition”… or a dangerous anti-science disaster.
 
So what’s the truth?
 
In today’s episode, Coach Kevin breaks down what actually changed, why the media is melting down, and why the real takeaway has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with one simple message:
 
Eat real food.
 
Because whether you lean left, right, or you’re just tired of the noise… the truth is the same:
 
America is getting sicker, fatter, and more metabolically broken every year — and our modern food supply is a huge part of the problem.
 
And at the end of the day, no matter what the government says… your health is still your responsibility.
 
In This Episode, You’ll Learn
What the new dietary guidelines actually recommend (without the media spin)
Why the food pyramid is back — and why it has people freaking out
The real reason nutrition has become political (hint: it’s tribal)
Why protein matters MORE after 50 (and why most people under-eat it)
The truth about full-fat dairy (and why “fat-free” foods often backfire)
How to spot fake food instantly (without counting a single calorie)
Coach Kevin’s simple “Eat Real Food” framework you can start today
Why personal responsibility beats perfect policy every time

If you’re over 50 and you feel like your body is starting to “fight back”…
 
More aches. More stiffness. Slower recovery. Less energy.
 
You’re not crazy — and you’re definitely not broken.
 
In today’s episode, Kevin sits down with Kris Gethin — world-renowned hybrid athlete, elite performance coach, and one of the most disciplined humans on the planet — to break down what it actually takes to stay lean, strong, athletic, and pain-free after 50.
 
Kris is a drug-free professional bodybuilder, IRONMAN triathlete, ultramarathon runner, and Spartan competitor… and at 51 years old, he’s still training like a savage — while also prioritizing longevity and recovery like a pro.
 
This conversation is packed with no-BS advice on training, nutrition, inflammation, stress, and why most people are making fat loss harder than it needs to be.
 
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why “looking fit” doesn’t always mean you’re healthy
The biggest training adjustment Kris made after 50 (and why it matters)
How to train hard without destroying your joints and recovery
Why strength training is the foundation for longevity and metabolic health
The difference between fitness, health, and performance
What Kris eats to stay lean, fueled, and strong (without obsessing over macros)
The real reason most people struggle with inflammation after 50
How stress, sleep, and cortisol can make fat loss feel impossible
Kris’s take on biohacking (and why the basics still matter most)
The truth about peptides, GLP-1s, and “shortcuts” — and who they’re actually for
A powerful mindset shift for people who struggle with motivation and discipline

If you’ve ever been told, “Your cholesterol looks normal - nothing to worry about,” this episode could save your life.
 
Because the uncomfortable truth is this: a huge percentage of heart attacks happen to people who were told their numbers were “fine.” No warning signs. No symptoms. Just a moment that changes everything.
 
In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin English sits down with world-class preventive cardiologist Dr. John Osborne to unpack why traditional cholesterol tests often miss the real danger - and what men and women over 50 need to know if they want to stay strong, active, and fully engaged in life.
 
Dr. Osborne is one of fewer than 50 physicians in the U.S. triple board-certified in cardiology, hypertension, and lipidology. He’s Harvard-trained, nationally recognized, and has personally interpreted 25,000+ advanced heart scans, proving that heart disease is not random—it’s predictable, preventable, and often reversible.
 
This is a must-listen episode if you’re over 50, feel “pretty healthy,” and want to make sure you’re not unknowingly sitting on a ticking time bomb.
 
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why “normal” cholesterol numbers can still hide serious heart disease
The critical difference between cholesterol levels and arterial plaque
Why stress tests and basic blood work often miss early heart disease
What Dr. Osborne calls the “cardiac colonoscopy” - and why it matters
How heart disease quietly develops 20–30 years before a heart attack
Why fit, active adults over 50 can still be at risk
What proactive, prevention-first heart care actually looks like
The steps you can take now to protect your health, longevity, and legacy
 
If your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, stay energetic, and participate fully in life for decades to come, your heart health matters more than ever.
 
This conversation challenges outdated assumptions, empowers you with better questions to ask your doctor, and gives you clarity on what *real* prevention looks like - without fear-mongering or hype.
 
If you’re too young to feel this old - and too smart to rely on outdated advice - this episode is for you.
 
👉 Listen now and take control of your heart health. Your future self will thank you.

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
