Here’s a harsh truth: Getting old sucks. It’s easier to get hurt. You feel more sore more often. Little aches and pain become more pronounced and harder to ignore. But worst of all: You can’t workout like you used to when you were younger (unless you want to injure yourself). That’s the bad news.

The good news? In today’s show, I reveal my top 5 tips for staying fit and injury-free as you get older. Here’s a taste of what I cover in this episode: 

There is a certain epidemic that’s strangling men’s mental and emotional health. But since it’s sneakier for men than it is for women, many mental health clinicians don’t even know how to spot the signs.

I’m referring to depression, isolation, and a lack of connection with other men.

Men are lonelier than perhaps ever before. But we experience depressive symptoms in a more subtle way than women—and this further exacerbates our mental health.

While an at-home yoga practice has many benefits—such as requiring no commuting, being able to do it whenever and wherever you want, and choosing a yoga routine that best suits your goals of the day—there are a few drawbacks too.

That’s why I’m sharing a few of my favorite strategies to get the most out of your at-home yoga practice in today’s episode.

Everyone wants to be happier, have fewer worries, and feel more excited about life. But often, we sow the seeds to our mental health destruction without even realizing it. This makes happiness impossible and fleeting. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

24 years ago, today’s guest, Dain Heer (CEO of Access Consciousness), gave himself six months to change his life, or he was going to commit suicide. Within a couple of weeks, he stumbled onto an unusual—and immediate—way to become happier that always worked in the trenches of life.

This past weekend, 10+ guys came together at the Be The Better You Retreat to be open, honest, and vulnerable. While we worked out and did yoga—it is a Man Flow Yoga retreat after all—the true value of the retreat was getting like-minded guys in the same room to talk about their emotions.

There were three distinct themes that kept repeating throughout the retreat. And I have my own personal takeaways too.
