Create a Fitness Plan That Adapts to Your Life | David Amerland

What if your ability to stay strong and fit for life had nothing to do with willpower—and everything to do with how you think about stress, time, and your own body?

On this week’s Better Health Bookshelf, I’m featuring the book Built to Last: How To Get Stronger, Healthier, And Happier at Every Stage of Life.

My guest, David Amerland, brings a rare and refreshing perspective to the health and wellness space.

With a background in chemical engineering, neuroscience research, and decades of personal fitness experience—including black belts in three martial arts—David is uniquely qualified to break down the science and strategy of sustainable fitness.

If you’ve been burned out by prescriptive routines, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or discouraged by the idea that you're “too old” to create a fitness plan that works for your life, you’ll want to hear this conversation. David and I talk about the brain-body connection, how to overcome the biggest barrier to fitness over 50 (hint: it’s not physical), and what it really takes to build lasting strength & vitality in the second half of life.

This episode is packed with practical takeaways for anyone who wants to feel stronger, sharper, and more capable—without the pressure of chasing six-pack abs or hitting the gym six days a week.

WHO SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE:

This episode is for men and women over 50 who want to create a fitness plan that actually fits their real lives—not a one-size-fits-all gimmick.

• You’re tired of the “fitness over 50” hype and want something grounded, flexible, and backed by science
• You want practical ways to build lasting strength & vitality without extreme workouts or fad diets
