Episode Synopsis


In this inspiring episode, 75-year-young registered dietitian Barbara Day shares wisdom from 60+ years in nutrition—from consulting Navy SEALs and pro/college teams to helping families build sustainable habits. Barbara recounts how her fast-food pocket guide helped high-performers make better choices on the go, why she treats tactical athletes like pros, and how she stays active with spinning, walking, and pickleball. She breaks down simple, science-backed strategies for any age: move daily, eat a rainbow of whole foods, prioritize lean protein, enjoy sensible sunshine, and use the 80/20 rule to keep it realistic. Barbara also previews her forthcoming ebook, Jumpstart Your Family’s Health, and her work with Moms for America’s Grammy Grizzlies community. Practical, upbeat, and refreshingly doable, this conversation is a roadmap for thriving—whether you’re training, parenting, or grand-parenting.
