5 controversial things I do to look and feel my best at 50 🔥
After 20 years in clinical practice as a functional Nutritionist….the trainers will come for me in the comments. Sharing the SCIENCE anyway.
1. I take digestion seriously. I’m not what I eat, I’m what I digest and assimilate.
Enzyme and acid production slows as you age. So the protein you weigh out so carefully never gets broken down or built into anything. It ferments instead. That’s your bloating.
Digestive bitters, plus enzymes or HCL when I need them. You can eat perfectly and still run on a fraction of your plate.
2. I’m obsessed with WHEN I sleep.
Eight hours in bed to get seven of actual sleep. You don’t sleep every minute you’re in there.
10pm to 6am is non-negotiable. The hours before midnight are metabolic GOLD for growth hormone and cellular repair. After 4 years of Oura data and constant travel, my wake time still holds inside an hour.
3. I eat at maintenance 90% of the time. I’m not in a deficit.
