Why is it that we can eat so much but still feel sluggish, depleted, and hungry? In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, we’re uncovering why most of us are overfed but undernourished - and what you can do about it.

I’m joined by Dr. Jeffrey Burke, a natural products expert with over four decades of experience. Together, we pull back the curtain on the modern food system, the sneaky ways processed foods are stealing our health, and why even that “organic” spinach in your cart might not be as nutritious as you think.

We’ll also talk about:

• The food industry’s dirty secret: why your cravings are being hijacked
• How to spot the difference between quality supplements and snake oil
• The shocking decline of soil health and how it’s impacting your health
• Regenerative farming: what it is and why it could change everything
• The essential supplements Dr. Burke recommends for the over-50 crowd
• How to be a smart, discerning shopper in a confusing supplement market

If you want to feel strong, energized, and confident in the second half of life - this is a can’t-miss conversation.

Are you living life… or just near life? In this fun and thought-provoking episode, I’m joined by best-selling author and behavioral change expert Karen Salmansohn to explore what it really means to create a life you love.

Karen introduces the powerful concept of moving from beast mode - where you’re hustling, grinding, and stuck on autopilot - to best mode - where you’re fully present, purpose-driven, and aligned with your deepest values.

We talk about:

• Why so many of us are living on autopilot (and how to snap out of it)
• The surprising power of death awareness to supercharge your joy
• How to build your to-die list (not just a to-do list)
• The seven core values that lead to a life with fewer regrets
• Why identity shapes our habits - and how to create identity-based change
• Why writing your own eulogy might be the mindset hack you didn’t know you needed

Karen’s blend of psychology, humor, and practical tools will help you wake up, get clear on what really matters, and start showing up as the best version of yourself - today.

If you’re ready to ditch beast mode and build a life you truly love, this episode is for you.
