Your Metabolism Isn't Broken After 40 - with Eric Bach

40+ Fitness Podcast

About

On episode 756 of 40+ Fitness, Coach Allan sits down with Eric Bach, entrepreneur, coach, and author with over 16 years of experience helping thousands of former athletes and executives get lean, strong, and look great naked, without sacrificing all their time to the gym.

Think your metabolism is "broken" after 40? Think again! Eric breaks down why age isn't to blame for stalled progress, dispels common calorie myths, and reveals why relentlessly executing the basics will always beat chasing shiny new trends.

We'll dive deep into the realities of metabolic adaptation, the pitfalls of over-restrictive diets, and why how you train matters just as much as what you train; especially when it comes to joint health, tempo, and avoiding injuries as you age.
