Train Your Body, Save Your Brain: Fitness Blueprint Over 40 with Ted Ryce
Thu Jan 29 2026
Your next “brain upgrade” isn’t another productivity hack… but your TRAINING plan!
In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I’m joined by Ted Ryce (Legendary Life Podcast), a high-performance health coach who helps entrepreneurs over 40 get leaner, stronger, and more energized; not for vanity, but for better mood, sharper focus, and long-term brain performance.
We get into the real-world stuff: why many high achievers think they’re doing “enough,” but they’re not measuring the right things…and how simple data like DEXA scans, blood work, and VO2 max can cut through the noise so you stop guessing and start getting results.
Question for you: What’s your biggest challenge right now, consistency, energy, stress, sleep, or knowing what to do?
