Read this on Dango.co Mike sat across from me on the Zoom call in frustration. "Dan, I'm working out 6 times a week. I'm losing weight. I'm doing everything right, but the visceral fat is not budging", he told me. Mike was successful by most accounts. Great business. Amazing family man.

"Losing...

8 numbers that tell you exactly how fast you'll age

Read this on Dango.co A friend of mine told me something about longevity that many people have stated on social media: He doesn't care about living to 100. And I told him that is the WRONG way to think about it. Most people picture longevity in terms of quantity. They're asking how many years I can rack up, but that's not actually what's at stake. What nobody talks about is how the last 10 to 20 years of life can be quietly taken away from you. I talked about this in my last newsletter, that...

If I wanted to lower my inflammation in 30 days, I'd copy this:

Read this on Dango.co Past week, I've been on vacation, living in an Airbnb. In this condo, there are a lot of 60 and 70-year-olds. Retired execs and a couple of entrepreneurs who have built and sold companies. Great people and lots of interesting conversations at the pool.

Belly fat that won't budge, skin issues, and people having difficulty walking due to chronic pains that will only get worse as they get older. Last week, I...

I wouldn't put a family member on Ozempic (unless they did this)

Read this on Dango.co A client came to us last year after being on Ozempic for eight months. He'd lost 35 pounds. His doctor was happy. His wife said he looked slim. On paper, everything was working. Then he stopped taking it. Within a year, he'd gained back 30 of those pounds. And when we ran a DEXA scan (body fat test), the picture was worse than the scale showed: He'd lost a significant amount of lean mass while on the drug and never rebuilt it. So the weight he gained back was almost...
