In today’s episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, host Kevin English is joined by Silver Edge coach Russell Medeiros for an insightful discussion on how your metabolism works like a bank account.

Kevin and Russell also share their thoughts on popular trends like intermittent fasting, and why certain “healthy” habits might be doing more harm than good. Whether you’re wealthy in metabolic health or deep in debt, they offer practical strategies to help you make smart “investments” in your well-being.
