Welcome to Unstoppable After 40, my weekly newsletter where I reveal cutting-edge tips to get fit in your 40s & 50s while growing your business or career.
What’s in store for today:
- What you got wrong about heart disease
- The top supplement stack for turning back the clock
- A simple move to fix neck pain and posture
Today’s issue is brought to you by Unstoppable After 40 Coaching Program. We help entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners to get fit in their 40s & 50s while growing their businesses and enjoying their lifestyle (in less than 2 hours per week).
Roses, chocolates, a fancy dinner for tonight?
Nice, but let’s be real.
You know what really keeps a relationship strong?
Not flowers. Not gifts. Not even deep talks.
It’s shared habits.
In my last relationship, we traveled to incredible places. We visited the Amalfi Coast in Italy and Paris, France together.
But you what I miss most?
Waking up, training together, then getting a coffee after before we started our day.
We didn’t just stay in shape…we stayed in sync.
And when things got tense? We handled it.
Better mood. Better communication. Better sex. (And yeah, research backs that up.)
But when we skipped workouts? Energy, libido, and patience tanked. It was night and day.
So here’s the truth: Attraction gets you in the door. Shared habits keep you there.
So on this Valentine’s Day, don’t just celebrate love.
Invest in it. Train together. Walk together. Move together.
Because the couples who stay strong—physically and emotionally—are the ones who put in the reps.
Here is your Unstoppable After 40 Friday Digest:
1- Is your metabolism actually slow…Or broken?
If you think your metabolism is broken, you’re not alone.
I hear this all the time:
“I used to eat whatever I wanted in my 20s, but now I just look at food and gain weight.”
But here’s the thing…
Research shows your metabolism doesn’t slow significantly until your 60s.
So what’s really going on?
In this week’s podcast, I sit down with Dr. Mike T. Nelson to break down the truth about metabolism, fat loss, and strength training for longevity. We talk about why most people think their metabolism is slow, how to actually test it, and the best ways to speed it up (spoiler: it’s not magic supplements).
We also dive into:
• The biggest metabolism myths holding you back
• Why strength training is non-negotiable for longevity
• How to increase calorie burn without suffering
If you’re struggling with fat loss or worried your metabolism isn’t what it used to be, you need to hear this.
2- The best supplement combo for reversing your biological clock
If you’re serious about slowing aging, here’s a powerful combo: Omega-3s, vitamin D, and exercise.
A new study found that omega-3s alone reduce biological age and slow the pace of aging.
But when combined with vitamin D and regular exercise?
The anti-aging effects were even stronger. The biggest impact—a nearly 4-month reversal in biological age—was seen when all three were used together. (They used an epigenetic clocks that measure DNA methylation…a topic for another time.)
We already know these interventions work on their own:
Vitamin D: Plays a critical role in slowing cellular aging.
Exercise: The single most powerful way to extend healthspan.
Omega-3s: Low levels are a major risk factor for early death—comparable to smoking when it comes to heart disease.
But here’s the key takeaway: They work even better together.
So, if you’re already exercising? Add omega-3s and vitamin D.
If you’re already supplementing? Make sure you’re moving too.
Because healthy aging isn’t just about what you avoid—it’s about what you do consistently.
3- A simple move to fix neck pain and posture
Most people ignore neck training—until pain and posture problems show up. I started doing Reverse Neck Curls to strengthen my neck extensors for Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
It’s been a game-changer for reducing neck pain and improving posture.
How I Use It: I do these between sets of bench presses or dumbbell chest presses to build neck strength without adding extra time to my workout.
How to Do It:
- Lie face down on a bench, head off the edge.
- Hold a light plate behind your head.
- Lower your head slowly, then extend back up in control.
Sets & Reps:
3 sets of 10-15 reps, 2-3x per week (start with 5-10 lbs).
If you want better posture and a stronger neck, don’t skip this one!

Unstoppable After 40 Client Highlight: David N.
Meet David, a 51-year-old executive from Canada who had a health scare and decided to take back control of his health.
He is like most of my clients; he is successful in his career but has struggled with his weight for almost two decades.
Despite facing a major work event and the heartache of losing a loved one to cancer, he chose to prioritize his health. “Life is happening now,” he said, and he joined my program. Proving that there’s never a perfect time to start—only the present.
In 5 months, David:
- 20 lbs down with a flexible approach
- Follows a custom travel fitness routine
- Enjoys guilt-free vacations
- Got his confidence back at work
- Became a role model for his kids
He needed a program that fit his age, work schedule, food preferences, and lifestyle, and not the other way around.
