Making Waves with Buzzy Kerbox
I was born in Santa Monica, CA, but moved to rural southwestern PA when I was very young, maybe five or six. There I lived on a beef cattle farm with cows, chickens, horses, an apple orchard, and a gigantic vegetable garden. Somewhere in my mid-teens a divorce landed me in a teeny tiny ex…

Change Yourself – Change Your World with Tim James

Let me ask you a personal question – are you happy? I mean you’re listening to the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast right now, so I’ll assume you’re at least a little bit happy right now. But are you big-picture happy? I suppose we should define happiness. The dictionary states that happiness is a…

The Godfather of Strength & Conditioning Dan John
I’m a big fan of keeping things simple, of not over-complicating things. I like to take complex concepts and study them and break them down into easy-to-understand chunks. I remember a professor in college once telling me that if I couldn’t explain a concept to a child, that I didn’t fully understand that concept myself. …
