MY KNEES HAD AN OPINION ABOUT MY WEIGHTThere was a time when I weighed 244 pounds. And my knees reminded me whenever. I stood after sitting. Now, in my seventh decade, I weigh the same as I did in high school. I can work in my yard. And I've become much more interested in what my body will allow me to do in my 80s than what it looks like in my 70s. Oh, and by the way, I am stronger today than I was at 50 Because somewhere along the way, I realized something: Losing weight wasn't really my goal.Yes, I want to look good as I age, but what I really want is to be able to LIVE well. I want to get down on the floor with my grandchildren. More importantly, I want to get back up. π That's what Age Less means to me. It isn't pretending I'm not getting older. It's refusing to surrender to getting older when you don't have to. And that's where today's supplement comes into my story. CURCUMINYou've probably heard of turmeric. It's the yellow spice commonly used in curry. Curcumin is one of turmeric's active ingredients that helps us Age Less. What caught my attention years ago was the research into curcumin and the body's inflammatory response. Inflammation itself isn't bad. It's part of the body's normal response to injury and stress. The problem is when inflammation becomes chronic. Curcumin helps us keep inflammation out of the chronic category.When I look at supplements today, I ask a different question than I did when I was younger. I don't ask: I ask: "Does this support me aging well?β THE CURCUMIN RECOMMENDED BY THOSE WHO KNOWThe supplement company that health practitioners have recommended for years is Thorne. We chose this brand exclusively for our clinics, and we still use it personally today.
If curbing how quickly you age is a priority, this is the formula we recommend. βπ THORNE CURCUMINβAnd because you're one of our readers, you can purchase through our Thorne store and receive our 15% discount that only you can receive by clicking the link we have here. But I don't want the discount to be the reason you buy it. At 80, I want to be doing pretty much what I'm doing at 70. And I'd like my knees to keep their opinions to themselves. So I'm going to keep doing everything reasonably within my control to give that 80-year-old guy a fighting chance by using supplements selectively when I believe they support the body I'm trying to preserve. That's my strategy. Not just to Weigh Less. To...Weigh Less & Age Less.βπ SUPPORT YOUR INFLAMMED JOINTS--CURCUMIN + GET 15% OFFβLive Younger, Longer, Doc & Vicky Mac P.S.

I have practiced hormone and weight optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 10 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated several medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. We discovered that as a woman enters menopause, her hormones become disrupted, causing many women to gain weight rapidly, and no matter what they do, not be able to lose it. If that has happened to you, text me at 209-345-9799. I have found that those who text me are serious about creating the body they desire. Once I receive your text, I will find a convenient time for you to speak with me. During our conversation, I will customize a gourmet weight loss menu for you, and tweak it until it works. Our menus have no caloric restrictions or frequency of meals. There is no charge! π Doc
INSULIN 1 THING YOU SHOULD KNOW When you eat carbohydrates, your digestive system breaks them down into glucose. Glucose enters your bloodstream. Your pancreas responds by releasing insulin. Insulin opens the doors to your cells, allowing glucose to enter your cells and exit your bloodstream. That's a good thing. High blood glucose is toxic to your body. One of the most dangerous health conditions I see today is insulin resistance. That's when your body doesn't respond to insulin as...
THE MIDLIFE REALIZATION She stood sideways in front of the bathroom mirror and lifted her shirt's hem. Then she let it fall. She turned forward again. Sideways. Forward. She wasn't exactly sure what she was looking for. Maybe evidence that yesterday's reflection had been wrong. Her face was still hers. Her eyes were hers. But somewhere between her shoulders and thighs, her body had begun telling a different story. She put both hands around her waist, pulling slightly at the skin as though she...
