I'm flying solo this week to talk about something that’s been on my mind since turning 45: how to keep your competitive drive from getting you hurt as you age.
In this week's episode, I review a study suggesting competitiveness peaks around age 50, and provide some psychologically-inspired tips on how to mitigate your competitive nature as you age. Plus, I share inspiration I found on the topic from a couple of unique places: a surprisingly wise Reddit comment and multitalented actor Patrick Wilson. Along the way, I tell a recent story about the one-arm push-up obsession that left me with a weeks-long shoulder strain.
Also, on this week's Warm Up: are walnuts the key to longevity, and are showers the key to fewer sick days?
