Sober and Shredded After 50 | Jeff Sutherland of Midlife Fit Club

Jeff Sutherland is a successful certified fitness coach, social media content creator, sober athlete, and founder of Midlife Fit Club, a popular fitness app and community.
Jeff specializes in helping those in the mid-life age group transform their physique and "defy age stereotypes" through functional strength training, clean/sustainable nutrition, and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Jesse and Jeff talk about why Jeff chose to quit alcohol at 51, how the decision has changed his life for the better, and how faith and relationships help him to maintain his sobriety and happiness. Jeff shares his fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle philosophy that got him sober and shredded over 50, and believes anyone can achieve the same results with the right mindset and commitment.

Holy crap, I saw this on TicToc, I think I followed, and can't believe it's the same person that I am watching with Jesse Carrajat on this episode of LIVEDEEP with Altum Fitness. Remarkable. What a great discussion with real thoughts. Relating so much as I also began my sobriety, a little older than Jeff. saying the exact words, I'm done! Great, great interview!!
