Too many people see 50 and beyond as a slow decline, but the truth is, the way you think, move, and care for your body can completely redefine how you experience your later years.</p> <p>Today, I'm joined by my friend and co-author of The Miracle Morning After 50: A Proven Path to Joy, Vitality, and Purpose for Aging Adults, Dwayne J.

<p>Feelings of regret can be one of life's heaviest burdens. I'm sure most people have choices and decisions that they've regretted in their lives, and I'm no different. But what I've learned is that regret doesn't have to be a source of suffering; it can be one of our greatest teachers if we let it.</p> <p>In today's episode, I thought I'd share a very personal letter that I recently wrote to my kids about the biggest regrets of my life. Things like all the precious moments that I've missed that I'll never get back, and moving away...

<p>I think most people would agree that music, and especially lyrics, is one of the most powerful forms of human expression. If you've ever heard a song that just resonated so strongly with what's going on in your life and made you rethink what truly matters, I think you'll relate to this episode. </p> <p>Today, I'm talking about a song from Teddy Swims that completely shifted my perspective on love, gratitude, and what's most important in life.

<p>What if the chronic medical issues that you're struggling with are just being treated at a surface level and the real cause of the illness or autoimmune condition lies much deeper?</p> <p>The unfortunate reality is that traditional healthcare has forced us to accept medications and quick fixes that manage symptoms instead of resolving the root issue. Today's guest is someone who I trust dearly and has helped me significantly improve my own health and cognitive function.</p> <p>Dr. Philip Oubre is my personal functional medicine doctor, a board-certified physician who helps patients uncover and heal the...

<p>When life knocks us down or tragedy strikes us or our loved ones, it's easy to think life is unfair and wonder, "Why me?" But what if your greatest challenges—past and present—are actually divine opportunities for growth and contribution?</p> <p>My good friend, John O'Leary, knows this better than most. At just 9 years old, a gas can exploded, burning 100% of his body, and he was given virtually zero chance of survival. Yet he not only survived, he thrived, and has shared his inspiring story with millions of people around the world. </p> <p>And if that wasn't...

<p>Do you ever find yourself going through life on autopilot—settling for routines, habits, and outcomes that fall short of what you truly want? Without even realizing it, we often accept mediocrity in our health, relationships, work, or personal growth by telling ourselves it's "good enough" or "better than most." </p> <p>When we look back on our lives, the last thing anyone wants is to be overwhelmed with regret, wishing we had done things differently, that we hadn't settled for less, and instead lived in alignment with what mattered most.</p> <p>As a follow-up to last week's epis...
