IMO (anon person who played collegiate sports) and in many of the credible online experts (Attia/huberman) Creatine should be in the 20 list. Been fudded for years, good for water retention, brain function, battles depression (see studies), recovery, muscle growth, and more. 5g a day, all you need

Nasal strips at night for nasal breathing are a game changer (I suspect I have a physiological issue)

Yoga is the way, even in your 20s but especially late 30s and 40s. You’ll get strong, lean and flexible and the women are always good looking.

Thoughts on using mountain biking for cardio? It’s more interesting than road cycling to me and uses up more of my legs while not being too much more dangerous as long as you’re not doing downhill

Very very nice summary!

Waking up frequently with a dry mouth can also be a sign of sleep apnea. If this happens often, ask your partner if you snore or stop breathing at night, or take a sleep study. You do NOT have to be overweight to have sleep apnea. Treating sleep apnea can dramatically improve your energy levels and quality of life while decreasing your long term risk of heart disease.

Mid 40's checking in - been successfully GRADUALLY building up a strength training routine (Stronglifts) and listening to my body. Capable of 5 - 6 days/week cardio OR strength. Not putting up giant numbers but don't care. Taking my older teens to the gym with me to help them learn the habit.

Didn't see it but nicotine can be a good choice for focus - Zyn and other synthetics help focus without the cancer risks of tobacco. If you're stuck on Adderal it might be worth it to switch (never touched Adderal myself). Yes, it is super addicting.

i'd encourage anyone in their mid-late 30s or older to try the carnivore diet for 1 month. it blows everything else out of the water. i started last july and am never going back. within 1 month i'd lost 30 lbs of fat and water weight. i started waking up at 4:30 am full of energy without an alarm clock. within 2 months i'd exceeded my personal bests in the gym from my early 20s (currently 38). all joint pain completely gone within days. i eat fatty meat (ribeye, ground beef, etc.) to satiety and supplement with salt in the first few weeks to get past the initial carb-deprivation weakness. i currently have more time than i know what to do with because i spend <5 min per day preparing food and only eat 1 or 2x per day max when i'm hungry. brain works better, dick works better, no amount of supplementation or 'fitness hacks' even come closs.

OGs remember the lemon water in the morning advice

If you’re not training for a specific goal with sprinting, do you just recommend 200s and 400s for general health purposes ?
