My mission is to help 30+ aged men get a second lease on life by restoring their God-given health using pragmatic evidence-based information. DM me.

One thing I’ve been reminded of lately is that strength isn’t just about building muscle.

I’ve been working through some new technology with my son.

Years ago, I worked in technology every day, but the language, the tools, and the systems have changed.

More than once, I’ve caught myself getting frustrated—not because I can’t learn it, but because I don’t like feeling like a beginner again.

Then it hit me.

This is no different than walking into the gym after years away.

The mind needs progressive overload just like the body.

If you stop challenging it, it gets comfortable. If you keep using it, it adapts.

Your brain isn’t meant to become rigid with age. It’s meant to keep learning, questioning, and evolving.

This doesn’t just happen at 75. It can happen at 25, 45, or 60. Every stage of life will eventually ask you to become a beginner again.

The goal isn’t to avoid that feeling.

The goal is to keep showing up until what was unfamiliar becomes part of your system.

That’s how we build strength—in our bodies and in our minds.

It just hit me why some people on GLP-1s say junk food suddenly tastes disgusting.

It’s not that the food changed.

It’s that the dopamine is gone.

No reward. No artificial high. Just… chemicals.

Without that hit, you finally taste the truth, and it’s empty.

That was exactly how food felt to me during cancer treatment when I lost my sense of taste. No pleasure. No compulsion. Just disinterest—even disgust.

That experience taught me something I’ve never forgotten:

Most “cravings” aren’t about hunger.
They’re about brain chemistry.

Real food nourishes.
Fake food seduces.
And once you break the spell, you can’t unsee it.

I never thought much about turning 70. Somehow 70 seemed so far out there, so distant into the future that I never paid attention. I guess I was too busy living my life.

Well, that day has arrived.

@tyromper Ditched cable years ago and I heavily curate what I watch or listen to.

@sovereigntylea1 It’s essential for learning and making progress at something new to you

[P.D. Mangan Health & Freedom Maximalist 🇺🇸 @Mangan150]

Working out for just 20-25 minutes will do more for your mental and physical health than meditation ever will.

[Chris Vandewetering @TheRealCVDW]

@Mangan150 Wise advice. Save your energy for your immune system to clear out the infection.

[Chris Vandewetering @TheRealCVDW]

@sovereigntylea1 From yourself and others. Be especially mindful of the former.

[Chris Vandewetering @TheRealCVDW]

Workouts don’t need to be complicated and take a long time.

1) Focus on compound moves.
2) Split workouts for upper and lower body.
3) Master pushups, pull-ups, squats and dips and you’re on your way.

Yesterday I did body weight squats and variations of them. Lots of people focus on upper body work but don’t neglect your legs.

[Chris Vandewetering @TheRealCVDW]

@MattXFitness Very true. I also find myself extra hungry after a leg workout

@MattXFitness Don’t neglect working on legs. There are studies that link leg strength and muscle mass as reducing the chances of dementia.

@SebBrands This kind of reminds me of the time when personal computers became mainstream. AI like computers are a tool that workers use.
