If you’ve ever been told, “Your cholesterol looks normal - nothing to worry about,” this episode could save your life.

Because the uncomfortable truth is this: a huge percentage of heart attacks happen to people who were told their numbers were “fine.” No warning signs. No symptoms. Just a moment that changes everything.

In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin English sits down with world-class preventive cardiologist Dr. John Osborne to unpack why traditional cholesterol tests often miss the real danger - and what men and women over 50 need to know if they want to stay strong, active, and fully engaged in life.

Dr. Osborne is one of fewer than 50 physicians in the U.S. triple board-certified in cardiology, hypertension, and lipidology. He’s Harvard-trained, nationally recognized, and has personally interpreted 25,000+ advanced heart scans, proving that heart disease is not random—it’s predictable, preventable, and often reversible.

This is a must-listen episode if you’re over 50, feel “pretty healthy,” and want to make sure you’re not unknowingly sitting on a ticking time bomb.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why “normal” cholesterol numbers can still hide serious heart disease
• The critical difference between cholesterol levels and arterial plaque
• Why stress tests and basic blood work often miss early heart disease
• What Dr. Osborne calls the “cardiac colonoscopy” - and why it matters
• How heart disease quietly develops 20–30 years before a heart attack
• Why fit, active adults over 50 can still be at risk
• What proactive, prevention-first heart care actually looks like
• The steps you can take now to protect your health, longevity, and legacy

If your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, stay energetic, and participate fully in life for decades to come, your heart health matters more than ever.

This conversation challenges outdated assumptions, empowers you with better questions to ask your doctor, and gives you clarity on what *real* prevention looks like - without fear-mongering or hype.

If you’re too young to feel this old - and too smart to rely on outdated advice - this episode is for you.

👉 Listen now and take control of your heart health. Your future self will thank you.

Every January, millions of people make the same promise: “This year will be different.”

New diet.

New motivation.

New rules.

And for a few weeks… it works.

But by February, most people are right back where they started - frustrated, discouraged, and convinced the problem is them.

In this Monday Mile episode of the Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin explains why New Year’s resolutions and diets almost always fail - especially after 50 - and what to do instead if you want this year to be the last time you ever start over.

This episode isn’t about trying harder.

It’s about changing the game.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why New Year’s diet resolutions fail almost every time (and why it’s not a willpower issue)
• Why motivation is unreliable - and what actually drives long-term success
• The powerful mindset shift from dieting to identity
• Why falling in love with the process matters more than chasing the finish line
• How small, boring habits compound into massive results over time
• Why systems beat motivation every single time
• The missing ingredient most people overlook: tribe and accountability
• How to stop starting over - and finally build a lifestyle that lasts

Ready to Make This the Year You Stop Starting Over?
