Mindful Retirement For Men - Healthspan

With Nico Mulholland

No doubt you have come across people, both men and women, who are determined to live as long as possible. I recall one guy who said he was determined to live to 100. Well and good. He exercised regularly and for a 54 year old looked very fit... but he smoked nearly a pack of cigarettes per day. What use is a long life, if we are incapacitated by a body that lacks vigor and a mind that lacks clarity? Lets look at the current research on healthspan and how we can apply it to our daily lives.

Lesson 4

Supplements That Work

The supplement industry is a vast machine that would have us take a myriad of additional substances into our bodies for any number of perceived benefits. Not many of these additions to our diet have any basis for effectiveness...however, some do. In this lesson, I will explore briefly the positive effects of some of these supplements.

Lesson 5

Weight Management - To Glp, Or Not To Glp

These days the struggle with weight is a very real concern in the population. We can look at photographs of people sunbathing at the beach circa 1970 and note their slim bodies in comparison to today. What went wrong? There is strong research to suggest that it is insulin resistance that is at the core of this issue.... not just a matter of calories in and calories out. So how do we go about restoring our body function?

Lesson 6

Resistance Training

Resistance training, using either body weight or dumbells and barbells, has many benefits as we age.
