About AgingWell Men
My doctor said "well, at your age" during a routine checkup two years ago. It wasn't a warning exactly — more like a weather update. Here's what's normal now. Adjust expectations accordingly. I drove home to Highlands Ranch, let Hank in from the backyard, watched him sprint laps around the yard for twenty minutes while I caught my breath from the stairs, and thought: this is not fine.
That was the start of actually paying attention. Not as a biohacker. Not as someone with a plan to run a 5K at 52 — just as a regular guy who wanted to feel decent. Energy that lasted past two in the afternoon. Sleep that actually did something. Getting off the floor without sound effects. The stuff nobody hands you a roadmap for when you cross fifty.
AgingWell Men is the notes I've kept since then. Real experiments with real results and real failures. The supplement that made me jittery for three days before I decided that wasn't the trade I wanted. The sleep protocol that worked for six weeks and then stopped working when the job changed. The things that quietly became routine because they actually helped. I run each test for at least thirty days and keep notes before writing anything — otherwise it's just a feeling, and feelings change by Thursday.
Look, I'm not a doctor. Not a trainer. Not a biohacker with a chest freezer full of things I can't pronounce. I'm 52, I live in suburban Denver, and I got tired of advice written for someone ten years younger. Everything here is personal experience, not medical advice — if something catches your attention, take it to your own doctor before acting on it. Who I am: author page.
