Think you’re eating clean? Think again.
In this special Monday Mile edition of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin takes you inside a real Silver Edge Collective coaching call — where our community took on a powerful nutrition challenge inspired by Dr. Casey Means’ book Good Energy.
The challenge was simple — but not easy. Over four weeks, members systematically removed sugar, refined grains, and industrial seed oils from their diets. What started as a fun experiment quickly turned into an eye-opening wake-up call about how much “healthy” food is secretly ultra-processed.
Join Kevin and the team as they share honest stories, surprising discoveries, and practical insights from week one — no added sugar or sweeteners. You’ll learn what foods tripped them up, what shifted in their cravings and energy, and why food awareness (not perfection) is the real secret to sustainable health.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- Why even the healthiest eaters are often fooled by hidden sugars
- The surprising sources of sweeteners sneaking into your daily routine
- How a “no sugar” week can reset your taste buds and boost your energy
- Why awareness — not restriction — is the key to long-term success
- A simple 3-week challenge you can start today to clean up your metabolism before the holidays
