Muscle Is Medicine: Why Boomers Need To Lift More And Complain Less
Most people your age don’t need more supplements. They need more muscle. The kind that protects your bones, sharpens your brain, and keeps you out of the waiting room with the sad magazines. Time to lift something heavier than your excuses.
Change Isn’t the Enemy. It’s the Gatekeeper.
Change isn’t easy, especially when you’ve been doing things a certain way for sixty years. But staying the same is harder in the long run. The truth is, comfort will kill you faster than effort ever will. Behavioral change after sixty isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about reclaiming the person you were meant to be before life, habits, and convenience got in the way. It’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, and absolutely necessary if you want to keep moving, thinking, and living like you still have something left to do.
The Fragility Myth: Why You’re Tougher Than You Think
We’ve been sold a lie that we’re fragile. That age means weakness and movement equals risk. The truth? The body isn’t weak, it’s waiting. Waiting to move, rebuild, and adapt. Sitting all day is to back pain what bourbon is to alcoholism — the cause disguised as comfort. Aging brings challenges like anabolic resistance and sarcopenia, but the antidote isn’t rest. It’s movement, strength, and enough protein to keep the engine running. You’re not fragile. You’re just out of practice.
When Your Body Throws a Fit After Lunch: Understanding Postprandial Metabolism

Willpower Won’t Save You (And It’s Not Supposed To)
Willpower is overrated. Everyone thinks they just need more of it, like it’s some magic fuel that’ll carry them past the fridge at midnight. But willpower isn’t a strategy—it’s a spark that burns out fast. Real change doesn’t come from “trying harder.” It comes from systems that make the right choice the easy one. Stop beating yourself up for not having monk-level discipline and start designing a life that doesn’t depend on constant self-control. Because the truth is, the less you have to try, the easier it gets to win.
