8 walking cheat codes I know at 46 that I wish I knew at 26:

1. Japanese Interval Walking

Alternate 3 min brisk / 3 min slow × 30 min. This HIIT-style walk reduces blood pressure, stroke risk, and boosts VO₂ max while burning fat and improving heart health.
2. Walk on an Incline

Incline walking activates more glutes, hamstrings & core, boosting calorie burn by 50–100% vs flat walking.

Bonus: Uphill is easier on your knees, making it a safe way to strengthen legs & shred fat.
3. Weighted Vest or Rucksack

Adding 5–15% of your bodyweight increases calorie burn 10–30% while building bone density, posture, & core stability.

Studies show weighted walks reduce fat mass faster than bodyweight alone.

Your doctor says your bloodwork is "normal" but that word has probably cost more years of healthy life than any disease.

Normal doesn't mean optimal.

Here are 8 blood markers that predict your future better than your waistline (most doctors don't track #2):
1. HbA1c

This measures your average blood sugar over 2 to 3 months.

Your doctor says under 5.7% is fine. Longevity research says under 5.3%.

Fix it: Cut refined carbs, walk after meals, lift 3x/week, sleep 7 to 9 hours, optional: berberine 500mg 2 to 3x daily.
2. Fasting Insulin

The test most doctors never order.

Normal glucose with high insulin means your pancreas is compensating. You want under 7.

Fix it: 8 to 10 hour eating window, cut liquid calories, 30g+ fiber daily, magnesium before bed.

I'm 46.

These are 5 stretches I do every day to feel like I'm 26:
#1 - Couch stretch

The couch stretch is the king of all desk stretches.

It unfucks your tight hips and improves your posture while helping you relieve lower back pain.

It's simple, effective, and hurts so good.
#2 - 90/90s

These are like giving lube to your creaky joints.

They improve lower body flexibility and internal & external rotation while increasing the range of motion in your hips.

A great bonus is that it helps prevent muscle imbalances caused by sitting for too damn long.

You've been lied to.

They said hamburgers was junk food, but the truth is they are one of the healthiest foods on the planet.

You only need 5 key ingredients.

Here's how to make it: Image
1. The Bun

Sourdough is the healthiest bread on the planet.

The fermentation process breaks down gluten and phytic acid for easier digestion while lowering the glycemic index, unlocking more nutrients and minerals for your body to absorb. Image
2. The Pattie

Grass fed beef is a superfood.

It's rich in heart-healthy Omega-3s, antioxidants like Vitamin E, CLA (which is a cancer-fighting fat), and key nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Image

There's a diet proven to cut visceral fat by 14%, even if you don't lose a single pound on the scale.

It's not keto. It's not carnivore. And it's not counting calories.

It's called the Optimized Mediterranean Diet. Here's how to do it: Image
Visceral fat is the fat you can't pinch. It wraps around your liver, pancreas, and intestines, pumping inflammatory compounds into your bloodstream 24/7.

People in the top quartile have 10x higher odds of hypertension, 6x higher odds of diabetes, and 81% higher all-cause mortality.
The scary part is midlife belly fat predicts Alzheimer's markers 20 years before symptoms appear.

Higher visceral fat correlates with poorer executive function independent of total body fat. Your brain is paying the price before you notice anything wrong.

These supplements have had the biggest effect on my health:

1. Creatine
2. Glycine
3. Psyllium husk
4. Magnesium glycinate

Here's why 👇
1. Creatine

Most people think it's a steroid, but it's not. It's a natural compound found.

- 5 g helps you build muscle and recover faster.
- 10 to 15 g helps your brain work better.

Also been shown to reduce depression & protect against Alzheimer's.
2. Glycine

It helps your body make collagen, produce antioxidants & improve deep sleep by cooling your body.

Also supports joints, gut & liver.

I take 5g before bed. I fall asleep faster & wake up more recovered.
