If only I felt like me again, or could just fit into my clothes!

Sound like you? You are not alone. Everything Changed for Me Once I Turned 50. As I turned 50, I began counting down the days left to me. I also realized that I had fewer ahead than behind me. This prompted me to pray: “Let me not die before I am still alive.”

As we get older, some things become more apparent. Priorities and goals change. Our lives also change. I became more and more concerned with living a physically active, independent, full life. People around me were breaking down. Because he couldn’t do anything, my father had lost the will to live. This opened my eyes.

We can achieve that ideal body if we follow the right steps. The key is to do it right. The difference between decay and aging is

Do the three CORE things to ensure that your body won’t give up on you. Eat correctly, challenge your brain and body in the right way, and recuperate adequately.

We do that. Our goal is to create strong and functional bodies that are healthy so we will be independent. This is what I refer to as “Functional longevity.”
