Optimization In Your 70's

In the spirit of disseminating education via email, I have been sorting through some of the best questions I receive and responding with a written explanation.

It seems to be working so far, and the questions I receive get better and better every day.

Like this one right here 👇

First off, all I have to say here is WOW!

The vast majority of messages I get are from people much younger who are NOT optimized in any way, much less hormonally.

So the fact that I’m getting one from a 73-year-old who is (despite going through menopause in an era of unmitigated fear-mongering about HRT, no less) is fantastic! 

And on desiccated thyroid, too?

Amazing stuff 🙌

Now, let me answer this woman’s question before I explain why this is relevant for EVERYONE, regardless of age or gender.

This incredible woman wants to know how to stay healthy as an optimized older female.

The answer?

You’re already 90% of the way there!

✅ Your hormones are firing on all cylinders

✅ You’re active and exercise (and I presume strength training)

✅ You’re (obviously) eating enough protein if you’re following a carnivore diet

Here are a few tweaks and additions I would make:

👉 Check out my fiance Taylor Reid 

She deals specifically with health, training, hormones, and peptides for women, and she can help you kick things up to the next level.

👉 I would recommend adding some carbs back into the diet

At least on training days.

This will allow you to lift with sufficient intensity and to recover effectively from those workouts.

👉 Add a surgically precise dose of HGH

While growth hormone peptides like Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin are great, they usually don’t work as well for older adults (GH production falls off a cliff later in life).

Adding exogenous HGH back in will do a lot to support muscle growth, help keep fat off, and promote rest and recovery (check out my video on the topic HERE).

👉 Train intensely while managing injury risk

It’s a fine line you have to walk as an older trainee…

On the one hand, it’s critical to continue training intensely enough to preserve lean tissue and strength, so you’ll want to continue with a program like Positive Muscle Failure.

On the other hand, you don’t want to be dealing with injuries in your 70s, so it’s crucial to prioritize recovery.

I’d also recommend ditching barbell lifts like squats and deadlifts (if you do them), focusing relentlessly on practicing good form, and ensuring your lower back remains protected.

You should also have healing peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 on deck in case an injury strikes (the sooner you catch it, the quicker you can heal up).

That’s about it!

Now, for those of you reading this, what’s your takeaway?

Focus on the fundamentals.

Reread this woman’s question:

She’s hormonally optimized, active, and eating a quality diet.

As a result, she needs VERY little work to take things to the next level and optimize herself.

Now compare that to the questions I often get…

Questions from people who:

❌ Are not hormonally optimized

❌ Don’t train or exercise

❌ Consume the standard American diet

Think about how much more work it is for someone like that (especially when you’re fighting against suboptimal hormones).

It’s like pushing a boulder up a hill…

Verses rolling it downhill.
