Are you interested in health after midlife? Have you been worried about aging? In this episode I talk with Joe Hoye. He is the owner of Hoye Fit.

Joe has a very interesting story as far as WHY he felt chosen to serve this group of people... and that he didn't choose it himself! We discuss his reverse dieting method and how it works for people.
