#36 - Fighting Decrepitude and Getting After It With Age
from Purpose and Perseverance Podcast Hosted by Deacon Brad Watkins
In this episode, I'm talking about decrepitude — the slow, often unnoticed decline that many people mistake for "normal aging." Rather than focusing on disease or dramatic outcomes, I'm talking about the everyday metabolic forces that quietly shrink capacity over time. Using what I call the four horsemen of metabolic syndrome — chronic stress, lack of quality sleep, poor nutrition, and sedentarism, I think through how these fundamentals interact, how they fail together, and why neglecting them leads to unnecessary decline with age. This is a conversation about preserving capability, resilience, and dignity over the long haul, and why aging doesn't have to mean surrendering function.
