23: Zane Griggs: How to Kick Ass As You Get Older

The Primal Shift

In this episode, I'm joined by Zane Griggs, who has been helping people improve their metabolic health since 1998. We discuss the importance of making conscious lifestyle choices for optimal health and graceful aging, with a particular focus on fitness, nutrition and mobility. We highlight the necessity of prioritizing long-term health benefits over short-term pleasures, including making conscious decisions about our diet and creating a supportive environment for health. We also delve into the crucial role of movement in maintaining quality of life as we age, advocating for a whole food, animal-protein-based diet and the incorporation of pain-free movements into daily routines.

Zane Griggs is the cio-author of the book Kicking Ass After 50, in which he teaches you all the ways to improve your health to kick ass as you get older. He is also the host of the Healthy A.F./Healthy After Fifty podcast, where he discusses practical strategies for unlocking optimal health and longevity.
