Summary
Episode #8 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about one topic many dads tend to avoid: their own health. Hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James talk about everything from routine checkups and mental health to exercise, diet, sleep, and the challenge of taking care of yourself while trying to take care of everyone else. The episode also features stories and questions from the growing Life of Dad community, including dads who ignore injuries, put off doctor visits, and eventually realize that staying healthy isn’t just about them—it’s about being there for their families. Along the way, the guys swap stories about fitness goals, aging, stress, parenting, and the everyday habits that are easier to overlook than they should be. Funny, honest, and encouraging, Episode #8 is a reminder that one of the best things a dad can do for his family is take care of himself, too.
