Content Themes
The podcast covers themes such as overcoming adversity, maintaining fitness into advanced age, and the mental and physical benefits of exercise.

A podcast about fitness, health, aging, and making the most of life as we get older. Ben Broadhead speaks to experts, authors, clients, and interesting people about staying active, healthy, and independent, and why it’s never too late to start.
In this episode, I chat with 67-year-old marathon runner Axay Shah about his approach to health, exercise and nutrition.
Axay follows a raw plant-based diet and believes it plays an important role in his energy levels and ability to keep running marathons well into his 60s. We talk about what he eats, where he gets his protein, the role of whole foods and why he believes listening to your body is more important than following the latest health trend.
I don't agree with everything Axay does, and I certainly won't be rushing to eat raw potatoes for dinner! But I found his approach fascinating and came away with some simple ideas that anyone could take something from.
An interesting conversation about nutrition, running, ageing and what it means to look after your body as you get older.
