Losing weight is not the whole story.

On Ozempic or Mounjaro, ask a second question:
what are you preserving?

Protect muscle. Track strength. Prioritize protein. Resistance train.

Because longevity is not just about weighing less. It is about staying strong for longer.

At 50, I don’t just want to know if I feel healthy. I want to know what my numbers are saying.

These are some of the markers I’m checking:

ApoB — tells you how many cholesterol-carrying particles can potentially enter your artery walls and contribute to plaque.

Lp(a) — a largely genetic risk factor for heart disease that many people have never tested.

Triglycerides — can give important clues about metabolic health and cardiovascular risk.

Fasting insulin — can help reveal insulin resistance early, sometimes before blood sugar becomes abnormal.

VO₂ max — measures how well your body can use oxygen during exercise. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is strongly linked with lower cardiovascular and mortality risk.

Grip strength — a simple measure of overall strength and physical function, both of which are strongly associated with healthy ageing.

No single test tells the whole story. But together, they give a much clearer picture of risk, fitness and how well you may be ageing.

I’m getting mine checked because at 50, I would rather know early and act early than wait for symptoms.

I covered 1.79 km in 12 minutes.

That estimates my VO₂max at 28.7—around the 48th percentile for men in their fifties.

Almost exactly average.

But when cardiorespiratory fitness is linked with lower mortality risk, average is not where I want to stay.

Cardio is now specific: Zone 2, VO₂max intervals and a retest.

Are you measuring your fitness—or just doing cardio?

Training for healthspan is not the same as just training.

It is not only about how the body looks today.
It is about how well it performs, recovers, adapts, and protects your future capacity.

Strength. Heart health. Mobility. Recovery. Biomarkers. Energy.

That is the real training goal now.

I trained for years to change how I looked.

Now I’m training to understand how I age.

This is my healthspan journey — measured through strength, heart health, biomarkers, recovery, and the habits that decide how we live later.

Metabolism is at the heart of 2 very important aspects of weight loss:
➡ healthful weight loss meaning no side effects like cravings, hair fall, weakness etc.
➡ prevention of weight regain so your efforts are not lost

Most weight loss programs, diets, pills, exercise programs may deliver weight loss but will fail to comply with the above 2 points mainly because metabolism is ignored or better, the symptoms of metabolism are ignored. In this video I talk about the symptoms of metabolism and as you begin to become mindful - you will boost metabolism.

Research shows that 70% to 90% cases are of Hashimoto’s not Hypothyroidism. Thus one of the main reason can be misdiagnose between Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism. There is a probability that you have Hashimoto’s but you are taking medications for Hypothyroidism.

➡Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the plant Stevia but unlike sugar, stevia contains no calories.

➡If you have Hashimoto’s, you likely have some degree of adrenal dysfunction

➡The main factors that can cause or exacerbate adrenal dysfunction are stress, inflammation, lack of sleep, and blood sugar imbalances, especially hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Because stevia can lower blood sugar, this could potentially exacerbate blood sugar imbalances, and in turn, lead to hypoglycemia.

➡Some research has even concluded that stevia and other calorie-free sweeteners could lead a person to consume more calories throughout the day.
