Podcast Summary
In this solo episode, I share my simple, practical health and fitness habits for ageing well after 50. I cover strength training, nutrition, grip strength, interval training, food prep, and everyday lifestyle changes that can improve longevity, energy, and quality of life.
I explain why two to three strength sessions per week can make a major difference as we age, how reducing ultra-processed foods can help reset cravings, and why small habits like walking after meals can support weight management. I also talk about grip strength as a powerful health marker and how simple hanging exercises can help improve it.
This episode is a practical reminder that ageing well does not require complicated routines. It comes back to the basics: lift, walk, eat mostly whole foods, build routines, and stay consistent.
