The #1 Supplement Every Man in Midlife Should Be Taking
If you asked most men in midlife what the most important supplement is, they’d probably say fish oil, a multivitamin, protein powder, or maybe creatine.
All reasonable answers. All wrong for the top spot.
Because none of those matter much if your body can’t relax, recover, produce energy, or adapt to stress, and that’s exactly what magnesium controls.
If your sleep is lighter, your stress hits harder, your recovery takes longer, and your energy isn’t what it used to be, this isn’t random. It’s often the result of years of quiet depletion, not sudden decline.
Playing It Safe Is Costing You More Than You Think
There have been many times in my life where I’ve played small. Not because I lacked ambition. Not because I wasn’t capable. But because I settled for comfort and slowly lost touch with my purpose. It didn’t look like failure. It looked like success.
The #1 Nutrition Mistake Men in Midlife Make And Why It’s Not Your Fault
Most men don’t talk about the moment it hits them, the quiet, private moment when they look in the mirror and think, “Why isn’t this working anymore?”
You’re eating less than you used to. You’ve tried cutting carbs… then counting calories… then trying to “be good” during the week. Maybe you even followed the advice: move more, eat less, track your macros.
And for a while, it worked.
But now?
Your energy is unpredictable. Your gut feels off. Your strength isn’t what it used to be. Your patience is thinner, your sleep is lighter, and your weight seems to move in only one direction, no matter how disciplined you are.
Train Like a Man With a Plan: Why Your Next 12 Weeks Matter More Than Your Next Year
Most men train the way they live, with good intentions, scattered focus, and too many priorities pulling them in different directions.
I know this because I’ve done it myself.
There were seasons where my training was all over the place, trying to build muscle, drop fat, get stronger, unlock skill work, improve mobility… all at the same time. And if you’ve ever trained that way, you already know when everything is a priority, nothing becomes a result.
6 Traits of Successful Midlife Men
There comes a moment in midlife when a man looks around at everything he’s built, the career, the house, the reputation, the responsibilities and quietly wonders “Why doesn’t this feel the way I thought it would?”
Most of us spent our twenties and thirties following the same script:
Work harder. Climb faster. Earn more. Get the title. Get the respect. Buy the house.
Be the man who “has it together.”
And for a while, it works. It gives direction and energy. It feels like progress.
But at some point, the ground shifts.
How Midlife Men Can Thrive in Relationships Beyond Productivity Culture
Often the only time a couple has to truly connect is at the end of the day. In the morning we’re up getting the kids (if we have them) ready for school or daycare, getting ourselves out the door for work. Or maybe one partner is heading off to work while the other is preparing for a full day of caring for children. Either way, there’s simply no time for deep conversation.
So what do we get? At the end of a busy, stressful day, whether it’s from our workplace or the home front, we come home tired, hungry and ready to numb out with Netflix or doom-scrolling. And yet it feels like this is the only time we have to talk and connect.
Eat Like a King: Why Most Men in Midlife Are Under-Fuelled
Most men in midlife think their problem is aging. That slow drop in energy. The softness around the midsection. The workouts that don’t hit like they used to. But what if it’s not aging at all? What if your body’s just missing the one thing it truly needs to rebuild itself....
Stronger for Life: Why Strength in Midlife Builds Freedom for the Future
What you do in your 40s and 50s doesn’t just shape your body today, it shapes your independence, energy, and confidence for decades to come.
The science is crystal clear: muscle and strength built in midlife are some of the strongest predictors of health, freedom, and longevity later in life.
Let’s break down what that really means (and how to make it happen without training like a 20-year-old).
Stronger at 40+. How to Take Back Control of Your Hormones
I used to think feeling tired, losing muscle, or carrying extra belly fat in my 40s and 50s was just “aging.” That it was out of my control. But the more I dug into the science, the more I realised that hormones aren’t fixed by age. They respond to how you train, eat, sleep, and recover. That was a game-changer. It meant decline wasn’t inevitable. It meant I had tools to reset my body and feel strong again.
Here’s how strength training + recovery can reboot your hormonal engine.
