I turned 60 today.

[Mr. Wizard]

0 and 40 are supposed to be the hardest on your body. I have a miracle sleep pill. (Seroquel) I have a miracle liver pill (concentrated milk thistle) I have a miracle high BP medicine. (Amlodapine benazopril) Thinking about trying something for mental health.(????) Dont need much for pain so far.

thoughts?

TRT if you can get your doctor to write you a scrip. It'll improve your physical and, as a byproduct of that, your mental.

Stay active. Try to socialize and spend time outside. Hopefully there are a few people in your life who you can confide honestly in and be yourself around.

If you own your home and plan to stay in it as long as you possibly can, think about modifications that you can do now while you have good physical ability that will let you stay independent as you age (e.g. if you're remodeling a bathroom don't put in a deep tub, put in a shower, install wooden bracing behind the wall at 33" to 36" height so you can install grab bars eventually, or just put them in now, there are decorative ones that match your hardware and don't look like a hospital.)
Switch to low maintenance outdoor things like yard, landscape, decks etc. unless you can pay forever for someone to maintain them. Simple outdoor things like flowers or garden or that stuff, keep doing that, it's good activity and therapeutic. fuck shoveling snow unless you want a back injury. Stay off ladders and the roof. Address slippery or dark areas in the home, or hard to open doors or cabinets. etc. Things you're strong enough to yank open or shut you won't be able to do it forever.

Congrats, Mr Wizard. You have me by a few decades so I’ve got no advice for you, but hope you enjoy your day.

As in something to help with anxiety/depression, or do you mean something to keep your brain from turning into mush due to something like Alzheimer's?

Elmer Heinrich swears by his product, Immuno 150

At 90 years of he age, he still has mental clarity, focus, no aches or pains of any kind... and can still do all the things he did 30 years ago

I turned 60 last February… I do notice some changes from 50s to now.. Lower stamina aches and pains.. I’m pretty healthy though..
I seem to be more emotional for some reason too.. Really reflective on my life and how much time I may have left.. I take time to enjoy things like my grandkids, family and friends… My wife is 4 years younger, still beautiful our marriage is the best than it’s ever been…I don’t sweat the small shit like I did when I was younger..
I can still drive a golf ball past my golfing buddies who are about 5 years younger than me.. I tell them maybe when they grow up they can hit it as far..
