🎙 Episode Description

In this episode, I chat with Philip Pape of Wits & Weights about why sitting is secretly wrecking your health, and why walking might be your simplest superpower. We also dig into how lifting weights after 50 can transform your life. Topics include:

  • Why sitting too much is so harmful for metabolism, posture, and longevity

  • How walking works as low-impact exercise that supports immune, cardiovascular, and mental health

  • Why muscle becomes your secret asset after 50 — and how to build it

  • How much protein is ideal, and where carbs fit (if at all)

  • Real nutrition and training strategies to be in the best shape of your life

If you’ve ever wondered how movement (not extreme fitness) could change your aging process — this is your roadmap.
