Reclaim Health After 40: Allan Misner on Aging Strong, Overcoming Setbacks & Staying Committed

Welcome to Episode 64 of the ANEW Body Insight Podcast, hosted by Dr. Supatra Tovar, a clinical psychologist, registered dietitian, fitness expert, and founder of ANEW Insight—a holistic Education platform dedicated to sustainable wellness.
In this powerful episode, Dr. Tovar sits down with Allan Misner, host of the popular 40+ Fitness Podcast, certified personal trainer, health coach, and author of The Wellness Roadmap. Together, they explore what it truly takes to reclaim your health after 40, and how mindset, movement, and meaningful goals are the keys to transforming your life—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Allan’s personal transformation: From an unhealthy, overworked executive to a fit and focused wellness coach who lost 55 pounds and reshaped his entire life.

How a phone call from his daughter triggered a turning point, motivating him to stop being a spectator and become an active participant in his life again.

The secret to success after 40: Commitment, not motivation. Allan explains how truly committing to health changes everything.

His twist on the classic SMART goals framework, adding an “A” for Action—because setting goals means nothing without consistent steps toward them.

Why feeling safe in your body—physiologically and emotionally—is essential for sustainable weight loss, muscle gain, and healing.

A deep dive into paleo and low-carb nutrition, how Allan stumbled into ketosis by accident, and what it taught him about listening to his body.

The biopsychosocial model of fitness: why mindset, food, movement, Stress, and Sleep all communicate information to your body.

The role of setbacks in Growth and how Allan overcame a torn rotator cuff, using movement and mindset to come back stronger.

The emotional power of fitness for connection: the life-changing moments of running Tough Mudder with his daughter, walking her down the aisle, and preparing for an active life as a future grandparent.

Whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, this episode is a masterclass in Aging with strength, purpose, and independence. Allan’s story proves that it’s never too late to change your health—and that the best time to start is now.
Why This Matters:
Most fitness content is aimed at younger audiences, leaving those over 40 underserved and misinformed. Allan Misner’s message speaks directly to those navigating midlife health challenges, busy schedules, and physical setbacks. He teaches you how to build strength, reclaim energy, and prioritize what matters most—your ability to live fully and love deeply.
