Information isn’t the problem. Execution is. In the final episode of the 2026 Body Blueprint, Ted shows how to combine training, nutrition, cardio, and recovery into a simple routine that actually fits life after 40 — in as little as two hours per week. Learn how to apply everything you’ve learned, avoid common mistakes, and finally break the “next year will be better” cycle.
In this episode, Ted breaks down the three most underestimated drivers of longevity: sleep, stress, and lifestyle. He explains why these factors are harder to quantify but just as powerful, how they quietly influence disease risk and recovery, and why ignoring them can undermine even the best training and nutrition plan.
After 40, nutrition gets more confusing — not less. Strict diets, conflicting advice, and the idea that a “slow metabolism,” hormones, or age are to blame often lead busy men down the wrong path. In this episode, Ted breaks down a clear, evidence-based approach to nutrition that supports metabolic health, longevity, and fat loss without quitting your social life or eliminating foods you enjoy. Learn how to prioritize what actually matters after 40 and build an approach that fits your lifestyle, travel schedule, and long-term goals.
You can be lean and strong — and still be aging faster than you realize if you ignore cardiovascular fitness. In this episode, Ted explains why lifting alone isn’t enough after 40, what VO₂max actually means for longevity, and how Zone 2 training fits into a real-world plan. You’ll learn how to build cardiovascular capacity in a way that’s practical, measurable, and realistic — even if you’re running a business, raising a family, and short on time.
