Retirement was supposed to be calmer — and for many men, it is. But stress doesn’t disappear with the end of a career. It shifts. Health concerns, financial uncertainty, loneliness, the loss of identity tied to work — these are the stressors that hit senior men hardest, and they’re often less visible and less talked about than the pressures of working life. In this episode, we look honestly at what causes stress in later life, what chronic stress does to the aging body, and the evidence-based strategies that actually help senior men find a calmer, more resilient daily life.
