What Men in Midlife Need with Stretch Rayner

What Men in Midlife Need with Stretch Rayner

Author: Ramsey Zimmerman - Holistic and Natural Health Specialist, Author, and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner December 4, 2025 Duration: 47:56
Is it wealth, success, stamina, fitness, relationships or health that men chase after in the middle of their lives, but which still elude them?  Perhaps a combination? Stretch Rayner looked amazingly fit and successful early in his life, as part-owner in a busy gym.  But his energy levels kept declining and he felt awful.  It took a move back to his home country of Australia and work with a functional doctor to figure out what was really going on with him.  Today, Stretch is the founder of Midlife Mavericks, a community of men working together to support their health, fitness and each other. Ramsey and Stretch spoke about the common traps that guys fall into in midlife, where to look for real improvements, and how men can reclaim their vitality and health.  Learn more at https://www.thesustainabletrainingmethod.com/midlife-mavericks.
