On episode 696 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan interviews Dr. Mark Sherwood, co-founder of Tulsa's Functional Medical Institute and author of the Amazon bestseller, "Quest for Wellness: A Practical and Personal Wellness Plan for Optimal Health in Your Body, Mind, Emotions, and Spirit." In this conversation, Dr. Sherwood shares his holistic approach to health, challenging the one-size-fits-all mentality and inviting listeners to reflect: Are you willing to make the changes necessary to achieve true wellness? Together, Allan and Dr. Sherwood dig into the real work of transformation—setting meaningful goals, journaling, course-correcting, and building a solid foundation in all four dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Dr. Sherwood doesn't believe in shortcuts or empty marketing promises—he's all about practical steps and sustainable habits, from daily movement and smart nutrition to self-talk and sleep. Whether you're struggling to build momentum or just looking for fresh motivation, this episode is packed with actionable advice and encouragement to help you take charge of your health and thrive at any age.
