Eating clean, daily exercise. Treating conditions with lifestyle changes instead of medication - where feasible. That’s it for most people. He’s not cracked some secret code, but he uses it to push his wacky beliefs

  "Physician heal thyself" should definitely be a baseline in the health and medical establishment -- but it aint. Being in the top 5% of healthy people for your age bracket should be table-stakes and we definitely do not have much of that.

    Since I stopped going to the doctor and instead started managing my own health, I have been worlds better. I order my own blood work, healed my Achilles tendonitis on my own instead of having surgery, order my own medication where possible, etc. I still go to a dentist, get a doctor for a colonoscopy, etc as there are obviously things that I cannot do on my own. Everything else though I handle, just pulling in specialists where required. Going to a regular doctor is a lesson in frustration, they don't care, just want to prescribe whatever drug their hot pharmaceutical rep is pushing and have zero interest in working in the grey.

        it takes a long time but if you stick with it, it works. Tendon stretches 2x a day with resistance bands. First thing in the morning and night before bed. 3 sets of ~30 - start light and move up. I just got a set of rubber bands off amazon for ~$25 Vitamin C - take at night Collagen supplement - I just got the powder and I mix it in water - take at night with the vitamin C Peptides TB-500 BCP-157 GHK-Cu Ask chatgpt about how much sterile water to mix with the peptides and for a dosing chart Peptides can be injected subq in belly fat or closer to the injury in the calf - don't inject into the tendon. GHK-Cu is also going to help your skin look good so a little bonus. Recommend doing the band workouts, vitamin c and collagen for a month to gauge progress. You can move on to the peptides after that, lots of people don't like shots so would recommend starting with the less invasive parts of the plan and scale accordingly. took 3 months but I went from getting out of bed and having to hop around for 2 hours until the tendon warmed up to getting out of bed and no pain. Its still not 100% but I can jog lightly now and do heavy calf raises without issue. Alternative was surgery. Note: my tendon did not rupture, that's a whole other ball game where surgery is pretty much a must.

        Thank you for that. For your consideration, I just ran across Dr. Keith Baar of UC Davis via Tim Ferriss' podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnFzjcPTSsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnFzjcPTSsc He is recommending isometrics for tendon health, which is something I'm also going to incorporate.

  I don't believe it's just that. I'm pretty sure he's taking testosterone as well
  - MarcelOlsz 1y ago
    He is absolutely on test.
  - karlgkk 1y ago
    Yes. Regular bloodwork is also important. Once a year or twice a year if you’re over 35
  - wonderwonder 1y ago
    Pretty sure he admitted to being on TRT. And good for him, do not go gentle into that goodnight.

  You know a lot of people that just eat clean and exercise daily that look like this in their 70s? I don't know any... For %99.999999 of the population looking like this and being as physically fit without drugs in their 70's is impossible. I would much prefer to take testosterone to look like RFK and be as physically capable as he is then age naturally like all of the 70+ year old people I know. Most of them have trouble pulling themselves out of a pool

He sounds like his brain has been fried Jordan Peterson-style multiple times and trembles like a hairless dog stranded on an iceberg. If this is what you think a strong 71 looks like you’ve been surrounded by bad examples your entire life and lack perspective.

  That's a disease called spasmodic dysphonia. Nice going.
  - os2warpman 1y ago
    If he claims to have that disease my instinct tells me he is lying. As a habitual liar the pendulum of doubt swung to “presume bullshit” with junior a long time ago.

      Honestly yeah, the guy's a bullshitter and he's got no business being near public office let alone being in charge of health policy.
