"Exercise is by far the most potent longevity 'drug'" - Peter Attia
Exercise remains the primary "medication" people can access for health, even during May's hectic schedule.
Running a gym proves challenging, though staying happily married while raising three boys presents even greater difficulty. Brit and I recently celebrated our 40th birthdays and 15-year anniversary by taking time away together, rediscovering our enjoyment of each other's company.
Without Brit's support and behind-the-scenes work, 2020FIT would not exist. She recently got a job promotion and I want to thank mothers generally for constantly prioritizing others' needs -- hoping they can prioritize themselves during Mother's Day weekend.
Health Recommendations
Personal Health Initiatives:
- Brit and I are currently using a parasite detoxification product from Manaluna Labs (Renovate), with interesting findings after a couple weeks
- Creatine supplementation is recommended for muscle and cognitive benefits
- Currently reading "Reset" by Dan Heath (business-focused, not health-related) about examining long-standing situations with fresh perspective
- Hydrogen water tablets are being taken regularly
- Family outdoor workouts coming in June
A Note from Kelly
Kelly (nutrition coach) discusses calcium intake adequacy after attending a bone health seminar by 2020FIT member Dr. Shannon Carpenter.
Calcium Requirements:
- Women under 50: 1000mg daily
- Women over 51: 1200mg daily
- Men under 70: 1000mg daily
- Men over 71: 1200mg daily
Best practice involves obtaining calcium from varied food sources first, supplementing as needed.
Assessment Methods:
- Review food sources against high-calcium lists
- Track intake over multiple days using food tracking applications
- Obtain DEXA scans
Cronometer is offering complimentary access to their in-depth Nutrition Score assessment (normally subscription-exclusive) throughout May.
