Description

What if midlife wasn’t the beginning of decline, but a second chance to feel alive again?

In this episode, my guest is Louis Bezich, men’s health advocate, and author of Saving Men from Themselves. After years of juggling leadership, divorce, and single parenthood, Louis discovered that taking care of himself wasn’t selfish - it was survival.

Louis shares how purpose, relationships, and everyday rituals can transform men’s health, longevity, and happiness. He speaks honestly about the lies we tell ourselves (“I’m fine”), the habits that hold us back, and the simple mindset shift that can reignite motivation, no matter how stuck or tired you feel.

You’ll hear about:

  • How to turn life’s setbacks, such as divorce, stress, and even loneliness, into fuel for growth.
  • Why men’s health isn’t just about diet or exercise, but meaning and connection.
  • The “provider and protector” myth that keeps so many of us from looking after ourselves.
  • How brotherhood and belonging can literally help you live longer.
  • Why it’s never too late to start living healthy and feeling good again.

This isn’t a pep talk; it’s a practical, heartfelt reminder that you still have time to become the man you want to be.

Why You Should Listen

Because most of us know we should look after ourselves, we just don’t know where to start, or how to stay motivated when life feels like one long list of responsibilities. Louis strips away the noise and shows that better health and connection aren’t about perfection; they’re about purpose, small routines, and remembering that others depend on us too.
