About this episode

What this episode covers

In this episode of the Resilient Life Podcast, Chris, the creator of the Wisdom Program, addresses a common concern for people in their fifties and beyond: how to lose weight as the body changes with age.

Chris explains that while metabolism seems to slow down, the real culprit often lies in muscle loss and lifestyle shifts. He emphasizes the importance of strength training, environmental adjustments for better eating habits, and the need for consistent, long-term strategies over quick fixes.

Additionally, he highlights the critical role of recovery and sleep in weight loss and overall health after 50.

Chris invites listeners struggling with consistency to join his 28-day resilience challenge for ongoing support and sustainable progress.

What’s Your Perfect Diet, Exercise Plan & Sleep Routine?

I believe that one-size-fits-all health advice doesn’t work.

Everyone has a unique mindset when it comes to maintaining healthy habits, and understanding yours is the key to success.

That’s why I’ve developed a science-backed approach to tailor diet, fitness, sleep, and lifestyle plans to your individual consistency style.

By identifying whether you’re a Type A (Highly Consistent), Type B (Moderately Consistent), or Type C (Hardly Consistent) personality, I create a plan that’s not only effective but also sustainable for you.

Ready to discover your consistency type and unlock a health plan tailored to you?

My Healthy Habits Mindset Assessment takes just a few minutes and provides instant insights into your personality type. From there, I’ll recommend a diet, fitness, sleep, and lifestyle plan that fits your life like a glove.
