After a successful career in parks and recreation management, Nate faced a wake-up call at 55: weighing 230 pounds with heart issues. Instead of accepting decline, he completely transformed his life. Now, despite battling prostate cancer for five years, Nate embodies what he calls "the new age of aging."

Practical fitness strategies that work for mature bodies, including Nate's signature "farmer's carry" technique

Why starting your fitness journey at any age can be life-changing
Men's health insights often overlooked in traditional medical approaches
Nate's story isn't just about physical transformation—it's about taking control of your health, building community with other men facing similar challenges, and proving that age is just a number when you commit to the work.
Whether you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s, or beyond, this conversation will shift how you think about aging and give you concrete steps to start living more powerfully today.
