Join the 21-Day New Year, New You Challenge (starting January 6, 2025):
https://go.silveredgefitness.com/new-year-new-you-25
The intro to the book The Power of Awe starts with a quote from Albert Einstein, and it reads:
“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
So my question to you is simple – are you living as if everything is a miracle? Do you routinely pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe? I think it’s safe to say most of us could use a little help in the awe and wonder department. If this sounds like you stick around, we have a fantastic episode that just might radically change your life for the better!
My guest today is Jake Eagle. Jake is a psychotherapist, mindfulness instructor, and co-author of the new book titled THE POWER OF AWE: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose—In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day. Join us today as Jake helps us micro dose mindfulness and harness the power of awe to make us healthier, happier humans.

Welcome to The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, the number one podcast for men and women over 50 who are ready to transform their health, build strong, lean bodies, and live their best lives in the second half of life! I’m your host, Kevin English, founder of The Silver Edge, and today’s episode is personal.
In this special Coach’s Corner edition, I’m diving deep into a condition many of us over 50 face but rarely talk about: skinny fat. You know the look—skinny arms, skinny legs, and a stubborn belly or hips. It’s not just about aesthetics; this condition is a silent killer linked to chronic diseases, inflammation, and even premature death.
But here’s the good news: You don’t have to stay stuck in the skinny fat trap.
In this episode, I share:
✅ My personal journey from skinny fat in my 40s to the healthiest, strongest version of myself in my 50s and 60s.
✅ The dangers of skinny fat—why it’s worse than obesity for your health.
✅ The ultimate 3-step solution to overcome skinny fat: Eat Right, Move Right, and Recover Right.
✅ Practical, science-backed tips to build muscle, improve body composition, and feel incredible.
✅ Why cardio isn’t the answer—and what you should focus on instead.If you’ve struggled with feeling soft, weak, or stuck in the “dad bod” or “grandma bod” phase, this episode is your roadmap to reclaiming your vitality, strength, and health.
