Fox News host Brian Kilmeade challenged Sen. Josh Hawley over Trump’s Iran peace deal, noting it allows Iran to resume oil sales and profit billions. Kilmeade called the 14-point MOU "vague and concerning," warning the funds would back proxies. Hawley defended the deal's goals to drop oil prices and halt nuclear progress but agreed the Senate must vote if final terms alter sanctions. The deal faces heavy pushback from hawkish GOP lawmakers.

💪 If You’re 65+, Losing Weight Isn’t Enough — Protecting Muscle Matters Too.

Many people using GLP-1 medications are thrilled to see the scale finally move. And they should be.

But here’s something that doesn’t get talked about enough: when you lose weight, you can also lose valuable muscle if you’re not intentional.

After 65, muscle becomes one of your greatest assets. It supports metabolism, strength, balance, mobility, and independence. Losing muscle can make it harder to maintain your results and continue doing the things you love.

That’s one reason I appreciate what LEAN brings to the table. While creating a healthy calorie deficit is important, supporting your body’s ability to preserve lean muscle and maintain metabolic health is just as critical.

For me, the goal has never been to simply weigh less.

It’s to:
✅ Lose unwanted fat
✅ Support lean muscle
✅ Stay active and strong
✅ Improve metabolic health
✅ Age with energy and confidence

Pair that with adequate protein, resistance training, hydration, and consistency, and you’re giving your body the support it needs for long-term success.

The scale only tells part of the story.

For those of us 65+, strength, mobility, energy, and independence are the real victories. 💙

💤 The Most Overlooked Fat-Loss Tool Might Be Your Sleep

When I started focusing on improving my sleep, I thought it would just help me feel more rested.

What I didn’t expect was how much easier it became to manage cravings, recover from workouts, and stay consistent with my nutrition.

One of the simplest habits I’ve adopted is having a “kitchen close time” a few hours before bed.

Why?

✅ Better sleep quality
✅ Less late-night snacking
✅ Better recovery
✅ Improved appetite control
✅ More energy the next day

Your body does some of its best repair work while you sleep. But if it’s still busy digesting a late-night meal, that recovery process may not be as efficient.

That’s one reason I’ve become such a believer in RESTORED. It helps support the deep, restorative sleep that allows your body to recover, recharge, and perform at its best.

At 75, I’ve learned that recovery isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Try this tonight:
🕖 Pick a kitchen close time.
💧 Stay hydrated.
😴 Take your RESTORED.
🛌 Give your body the chance to do what it was designed to do.

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs don’t happen in the gym.

They happen while you’re sleeping.

Tomorrow, Friday June 19, will mark yet another historic day in the international community’s decades-long preoccupation with Iran’s nuclear program—an assumed ghoul that, despite endless Western hyperbole, never actually materialized into a weapon. With the signing of a memorandum of understanding in Geneva between Washington and Tehran, the true history being made tomorrow is not the substance of the agreement itself, but the spectacular, ironic collapse of Washington’s “Maximum Pressure” strategy—or rather Trump’s endless boasting about American power and his tactical use of force, besides calling himself the God of all deals!

Tom Nichols, staff writer at The Atlantic and professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, delivered a pointed professional verdict on the Iran war that it will be studied for years as the definitive case study in how battlefield success can coexist with strategic defeat. Operation Epic Fury struck nuclear facilities, killed Iran's supreme leader, and degraded its military, yet the United States ended the war negotiating through intermediaries, reopening a strait that only closed because of the war itself. Nichols called it a textbook failure of strategy.
