In this episode of the Maxime Sigouin Podcast, Coach Nick sits down with Paul Lawrence, an 81-year-old powerhouse whose story redefines what it means to age with strength and purpose. After cycling across America twice in his seventies, Paul faced the challenge of muscle loss, known as sarcopenia, and chose to fight back through structured training and a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. A survivor of four minor strokes and over 30 years sober, Paul shares how consistency, service, and mindfulness have shaped his life today. From Qigong to caregiving, his story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to rebuild your body, reclaim your vitality, and live with intention
