FOR MEN WHO REFUSE TO FADE IN MIDLIFE
DON'T FADE
A THREKR PODCAST
THE FADE
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO MEN IN MIDLIFE.
01 · PHYSICAL
THE BODY SOFTENS AND THE STRENGTH SLIPS.
02 · SOCIAL
THE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS THINS OUT QUIETLY.
03 · PURPOSE
THE FIRE FOR WORK AND PURPOSE BURNS LOW.
The valleys are real. They are not the destination.
THE CLIMB
THESE FADES ARE NOT OUR DESTINY.
Work on one valley and the other two start to lift. Every episode names one hard truth, shows what works with the evidence behind it, and leaves you one thing to do this week.
01 · BODY
BUILD STRENGTH
Train three to four times a week, add easy aerobic work, and keep one hard session. Muscle still answers to training in your 50s, 60s, and beyond.
02 · BROTHERHOOD
FIND YOUR CREW
One call a week, one meal a month, one honest conversation. Friendship after 40 is built on purpose, not left to chance.
03 · PURPOSE
OWN YOUR WHY
A reason that outlasts the job title: family, service, faith for those who hold it, and the men beside you.
YOUR HOST
I'M JONATHAN.
I'm 47. I live in Salt Lake City with my wife, and for more than a decade I've coached men through midlife as a personal trainer and health coach. Those men are the reason this show exists. On each episode I sit down with doctors, coaches, and ordinary men doing hard things to find out what works for the body, the friendships, and the purpose that tend to fade after 40.
I'm in the second half too. A fellow traveler, not a guru.
Against the Fade is a Threkr podcast. Threkr is the men's fitness club I'm building on Highland Drive in Millcreek.
