Fitness fuels your life.
Do you want to travel the world?
Do you want to play tennis or golf?
Do you want to grow your business?
Do you want to play with your grandchildren?
All these goals take energy.
What’s the source of your energy?
It’s your physical health.
As you age, your health declines.
You lose muscle.
Your heart gets weak.
Inflammation goes up.
On top of that, we’re busier and more stressed.
But we make more money.
So we use food and alcohol to make ourselves feel better.
Unfortunately, overeating and drinking too much makes your health decline even faster.
There’s great news, though. You can fight these age-related changes by doing the right things.
• Limit alcohol
• Workout weekly
• Eat the right amount
• Move your body daily
• Get at least 7 hours of sleep
• Choose nutrient-dense foods.
Your age doesn’t dictate how old you look and feel.
But your habits do.
Choose wisely.
Here is your Unstoppable After 40 Friday Digest:
1. The best strategies to optimize your health from a Doctor and former Navy Seal.
I recently interviewed former Navy SEAL and current medical doctor Krik Parsley.
While I’ve had many conversations with Kirk on my show over the years, I had him back on recently to talk about health optimization strategies.
Kirk and I both work with high-performing clients. But Kirk specializes in helping folks who have issues like traumatic brain injuries and other medical conditions.
We took a deep dive into: • How to change your behavior (especially when you feel stuck) • Biohacking protocols that are actually based on science • The role of psychedelic compounds in health and behavior change • The secret strategy that Kirk believes is the most effective at helping healing And more. Intrigued? Then give it a listen.

2. Eat these purple foods to lower blood pressure and reduces risk of heart disease.
Recent research have shown that anthocyanins can have powerful effects on inflammation and the function of your vascular system.
What are anthocyanins? They’re naturally occurring plant compounds that are responsible for the deep red, purple, and blue colors found in many fruits and vegetables.
For example, a study published in The Journal of Nutrition found that taking an anthocyanin supplement lowers oxidative stress, improves blood lipid levels and helps to reverse insulin resistance in diabetic patients.
While you may not be diabetic, if you’ve got more belly fat than you should, you can safely assume you have some level of insulin resistance happening.
While blueberries are usually mentioned when talking about anthocyanins, they came in last out of these 8 foods.
So, give elderberries and purple corn a try. Or you can also take a supplement.
Aim for 320 mg total per day.
3. Exercise of the week: Ring Rows.
Want an exercise that builds a powerful back that is also portable?
Then give ring rows a try.
Sure, pull ups and chin ups are great too. But ring rows can help you build the strength to do pull ups if you can’t them yet.
And they work your back with a horizontal rowing motion that is different than pull ups.
How many sets? Try 2-4.
For reps, try 5-20.
Need to make them harder? Then elevate your feet to bring your body more parallel to the ground.
Legendary Life Coaching Client Highlight: Scott
Meet Scott, a 49 y/o high performer who was training daily but sabotaging his fat loss over the weekends.
So after having a heart attack at age 46 and not being able to get sustainable results on his own, he decided to finally get serious about his health and joined my program.
In 4 months, Scott:
• Shed a whopping 35lbs, waving goodbye to that stubborn gut
• Stopped “eating and drinking his emotions” on weekends.
• Still enjoy fine dining and have an active social life
• Went from burnout to waking up energized every single day
• Improved his overall health, moving away from constant medical concerns.
Now, on the cusp of 50, Scott is more than just ‘fit’; he’s unstoppable!

Quote of the week:
“You will never find one answer to what makes you happy. There are many answers, and they change based on your current state.People need to relax, but if all you do is sit on the beach, it gets old. People find meaning in work, but if all you do is work, it gets exhausting. People benefit from exercise, but if all you do is exercise, it gets unhealthy.Happiness will always be fleeting because your needs change over time. The question is: what do you need right now?”— James Clear
