This year, I checked off my final “physical” goal for 2025: get my VO₂ Max tested.
YIKES.
I’ll be honest I was nervous. VO₂ Max measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise, and it’s one of the most predictive indicators of longevity. Studies show that higher VO₂ Max scores correlate with lower risk of heart disease, dementia, cancer, and early mortality. Basically, it’s your “how long and how well you’ll live” number.
For women my age 50 the categories are:
My score? 60.9!!!
I think I cried. That’s not just superior it’s elite. It’s also validation that every detox, peptide, scan, supplement, and hormone optimization over the past year has been worth it. I’m literally aging in reverse and I have the data to prove it. See my results below.
This was step one clearing out the toxins that silently sabotage metabolism and hormones. The program targets “forever chemicals” (PFAS), heavy metals, glyphosate, and mold biotoxins that can accumulate in tissues for decades. Once my drainage pathways opened, inflammation dropped, my energy returned, and my skin completely changed. Think of it as hitting the body’s reset button before optimization.
This was the game changer. I used to think fatigue, moodiness, weight fluctuations, zero libido and restless sleep were “just part of aging.” Wrong. Through advanced hormone and thyroid testing, we optimized my estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all of which directly influence metabolism, muscle retention, and mood. The shift was immediate: sharper focus, steady energy, and finally sleeping through the night. When hormones are in sync, everything else follows.
Instead of obsessing over the scale, I track my lean muscle, visceral fat, and bone density every quarter. These scans don’t lie they reveal the silent wins, like when I gained two pounds of muscle and dropped three of fat without changing my weight. It’s biofeedback that keeps me accountable.
My current MVPs:
These tiny proteins act like biological texts telling your body what to fix whether it’s repairing tissue, building muscle, or recharging your cellular batteries.
Most people supplement blindly. I used precision testing to uncover exactly what I was missing magnesium, zinc, copper, and CoQ10. Once I replaced those, my sleep deepened, hormones stabilized, and recovery time dropped.
No magic pill replaces deep, consistent sleep. It’s when your body releases growth hormone, repairs cells, and resets the brain. I treat mine like medicine dark room, magnesium glycinate, no screens after 9 p.m.
When people joke that I’ve been “drinking the Body Tonic Rx Kool-Aid,” I just smile because the proof is in the numbers. My inflammation markers are down, my muscle mass is up, my hormones are balanced, and my cardiovascular fitness is higher than it was twenty years ago.
At 50, I’m not chasing youth I’m building longevity.
And if you’re ready to transform your own data into your superpower, maybe it’s time you had a sip of the Kool-Aid.
