Conventional fitness advice might be aging you faster. After 25 years as a health coach, Zane Griggs—author of Kicking Ass After 50 and host of the Healthy AF | Healthy After 50 podcast—reveals why relentless fasting, low-carb diets, and intense workouts backfire as we age. In this raw conversation, he shares his own wake-up call that manifested as hormone crashes and chronic inflammation.


Learn why blood sugar spikes aren’t the enemy, how to spot “underfueling” red flags, and why longevity isn’t about biohacks—it’s about balancing stress, sleep, and smart nutrition.




“It wasn't just the workout; it was the fueling aspect that was impacting my ability to recover. Adding more carbs improved my sleep, energy, and strength gains.” ~ Zane Griggs
