In this episode of the Ever Onward Podcast, sports medicine physician Dr. Kaleb Redden returns to break down how your fitness, strength, and lifestyle choices in your 30s, 40s, and 50s directly determine your health, mobility, and longevity in your 60s, 70s, and beyond.

With our host Tommy Ahlquist and co-host Andy Scoggin, we dive into practical, science-backed strategies for building muscle, improving VO2 max, protecting joints, preventing injury, and staying active through every decade of life.
