I get tired of hearing how we need sleep. Those of us that have struggled for years with sleep. Done most of the “things”… it is what it is. And I just take a nap during the day.

People lose muscle watching the scale. It’s not only a game of numbers. The mirror is a much better gauge.

Caffeine also strongly affects deep wave sleep. You may not notice it, but you spend less time in deep wave sleep if you consume caffeine.

I am living proof that not following these recommendations. I am well below this age group by a score, but look like I am in my 60's. My Birth years are way off my biological years and this has been very tough for physician to wrap their head around. Very happy to hear this may become common knowledge amongst practicing physicians. Our father brought me here, I just haven't figured out totally why yet, but this is another door opened.<br> My words can never express my appreciation for this.

Thank you for keeping your VALUABLE content/information to around 10 min. I lose attention when posts are longer. I've gained more by watching your posts than longer ones because I start to tune out.

This stuff works! At 60, I am in the best shape I have been in in 15 years, maybe 20. Covid woke me out of my lethargy and high bp reinforced that. After a lot of research and looking at my labs and watching people like Mitch, I figured metabolic syndrome / insulin resistance was at the root of my issues. Quit processed foods, then went low carb, then lower carb / keto + 2MAD (can't do carnivore - I like salads and veggies) Added lifting 2x per week, zone 2 2x per week, HiiT 2x per week. Lost 8" in my waist and comfortably wear 30 pants. Muscularity and Vascularity clearly defined in my arms and legs. Dunno if I will ever get a six pack, since I started with a bit of fat around my middle, but my stomach is flat now. BP has dropped a ton (like by 25 mm systolic and 15mm diastolic). Triglycerides now lower than my HDL. Best of all, I have energy all day long (I can run 5 miles, then go mow the lawn, then play with the grandkids) and I sleep like a rock most nights. God bless you and others like you.

I’m 63. I mountain bike 15-18 miles a day or hike 5 plus miles, 6 days a week. 60 push-ups or 20 pull ups a day. It’s working so far. We’ll see. I know it will only delay things a little.<br><br>You forgot to talk about skin; paper thin and bruises more easily
