I got so many messages about Nonna’s 100th birthday and her life that I figured I’d make some space here for stories and questions about her remarkable life. I met Nonna 6 years ago and since then I’ve spent every Sunday morning that I’m in Lisbon with her. I’ve learned about her life and family, heard amazingg stories about dinners she’s had at maharajah palaces in India, games of bridge with Romanian King Carol II, encounters with the last Shah of Iran, and countless more anecdotes, one more fascinating than the next. So since I’m still hesitant to write a book about all of this, you can post your questions here in the comment section in the meantime. Ask me/Nonna anything! #100yearold #centenarian #centenariangoals #birthdayparty #quinta #party #portuguese #french #100birthdayparty #nonna #lisbon #portugal
I take health very seriously and I am committed to researching the most effective holistic health modalities that support mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health as well as cellular regeneration and ultimately longevity. Solar and wind dehydrated nutrient dense organic superfoods are the foundation of any holistic health transformation. This superfood nutrition supports digestive rest, nutrient absorption and detoxification to bring homeostasis back to the mind, body and soul. People don’t need to be suffering in this chronic disease epidemic we are living in. Dis-ease is nothing more than a lack of ease and flow in the body. There are only two sides to chemistry. Acids and bases. Human dis-ease is always rooted in the acidosis side of chemistry. It is this side of chemistry that is corrosive and dehydrating. It causes inflammation, destruction of tissue, stagnancy in the lymph, and blockages. Alkalinity is hydrating and healing. It cleanses all your tissues and cells and restores electrolyte balance and ATP potential. Reach out if you need support. 🙏💚💫🌱💪 YOU are WORTHY of HEALTH and ABUNDANCE #puriumlifestyle #puriumsuperfoods #cellularregeneration #detoxification #alkalize #centenariangoals #longevity #regenerativehealth
✨ 102 ✨ Yesterday we celebrated Opa’s 102nd birthday. In the morning he was visited by the mayor and old work colleagues (the younger few who are still alive) and in the afternoon we celebrated as a family (a champagne toast, traditional white asparagus & ham for lunch, more champagne, rhubarb cake & coffee). Every week, without fail, he walks the round trip kilometer to the nearby Lotto shop and back - to do his “Tippen.” He’s been betting on the same set of numbers weekly for over 60 years - and while it only costs a couple euros, it gives him something to look forward to every time those numbers are announced. He still does his exercises & reads the newspaper every morning... and does his grocery shopping on the days he’s feeling well enough. And while he refused to use a walker until he was 100, because it “made him look too old” he’s agreed to use one when he grocery shops now. Cheers to Opa and these next few years of an enriching life 🥂

Looking ahead, I’ve got this sneaky suspicion that 2078 will be my grand finale – I’d be hitting the grand age of 101! 🤯🎉 Imagine that! And who knows? Maybe there’s a luxurious twist in the afterlife, and I’ll come back as the rich girl I’ve always sung about in the shower. ‘Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah…’ So, here’s to a future of endless possibilities and a bit of Gwen-inspired flair! 💰🎤❤️ #CentenarianGoals #ReincarnationVibes #GwenStefaniKaraoke

A few months ago, I was down to 138lbs. I felt okay but I’m not sure stick man can last into his 100’s if he withers away. Working out and lifting weights is actually kinda easy. The constant intake of food is the real exercise 🥵 Anyway, this is my progress and I’m up to 146lbs. Maybe I’ll shoot for 165lbs and see how I feel. . . . . #weightgainjourney #healthylifestyle #centenariangoals #dontdie
Quick visit to the lab for another male hormone panel. As I congratulate myself for being in the 95th percentile for males 55+, let’s remember that norms and averages are so pathetic these days that you best strive to be at the top of the scale to even consider yourself healthy and protective against today’s epidemic accelerate decline into dysfunction and demise. Here are some of my favorite markers to track for longevity, vitality, and disease prevention *Bloodwork: Male hormone panels and general libido are a great proxy for overall health. If you are fat, tired, stressed, and unfit, your man numbers are going to suck. *Spare tire: The accumulation of a spare tire is the most obvious and destructive example of accelerated aging and hormone dysfunction. This is the ultimate battle to fight to preserve male hormone status instead of slide down a slippery slope to bigger spare tires and lower T *Fitness markers: Respected research reveals that things like mile-run time (Cooper Institute), VO2 Max result (@peterattiamd #Outlive book), the Maximum Aerobic Function test (PhilMaffetone.com), and competency in squats, pushups, and grip strength are great predictors of longevity. Me? I’m trying to raise the bar with masters track goals in high jump and 100, 200, and 400m. #masterstrackathlete #masterstrackandfield #masterstrackpractice #highjump #highjumptraining #mastershighjump #mastershighjumper #masters400meters #400meters #masters400m #masterssprinter #masterssprinting #usatfmasterstrack #primalhighjump #primalhighjumper #primalsprinter #primalsprinting
Honoured to be quoted in the Globe and Mail this week in Alex Hutchinson’s ‘Jockology’ column. 🙏 The article (link in bio) highlights the specific benefits of personal training for various age groups and ability levels. Being a great personal trainer means seeing each person with fresh eyes. In 20 years of training older adults (and others with special considerations), I’ve never given the same program twice. Everyone progresses differently, and a good trainer has to be cognizant of this at each step. Beginners sometimes need to be held back from ‘overdoing’ it, and experienced exercisers may need to change established ways to continue getting results. Seniors can benefit from a hands-on approach at first to build a foundation of alignment, balance and basic strength upon which we further build. Definitely keeps it interesting. 💪🏽 We all have blind spots, so don’t be shy to find out how you can optimize your routine. 🙌 Finding the right trainer for you is a game changer.

Another 3 day fruit fast is in the books. I was, at first, really sceptical about the healing power of fruit, but it just keeps making me look and feel better and better. I am hooked! I will continue to push the quality and quantity of my fruit consumption. Nothing changes for me from a physicality perspective when I do these fasts. I continue with my workouts as I normally would. I don’t concern myself with the protein reduction. After all, fruit does have protein. I just think the macro percentage ratios in fruit are more in line with the bodies requirements for longevity. Just remember though that I am no longer interested in body building, but I am very interested in health building. I implore you to experiment with fruit and see for yourself the health benefits. 🙏🍇🥭🫐🥝🍈🍉🍓🙏 Hey, in the end, if I just inspire you to eat a bit more fruit I will be happy and your health will thank you! 🙏😁 #fruitfastingforhealth #centenariangoals #fruitsugarisbest #fruitpower #cellularregeneration #frutarian #hydration #vegan #plantbased #fasting #detox #selflove #lymphaticcleanse #digestiverest #intestinalcleanse #skincleanse #proteinmyth

The moment you stop concerning yourself with protein is the moment you start taking your health to the next level. There I said it!! Health isn’t about how you look in the mirror, although that is a nice byproduct of a healthy lifestyle. Health is also about your mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. The next time someone asks you where you get your protein you should ask them where they get their fiber. Fruits, whole grains and plant based proteins are packed full of fiber and will help to support your intestinal health as well as make your gut microbiome flourish. 🌱💪💚✨ #proteinmyth #fiberfueled #plantbasedprotein #vegan #wholegrains #fruitarian #health #organic #higherconsciousness #frugivore #veganlifestyle #highcarblowfat #spirituality #diseaseprevention #highvibrational #fruitpower #selflove #naturalimmunity #holistichealth #lifespan #longevity #detoxification #centenariangoals #unlearner #rippedat50 #goals

I appreciate the importance of reflecting, rethinking and refining strategy to get best results, and strive to think critically and remain open-minded. For me, 2022 featured a big experiment to swap out my typical morning fasting period for a big bowl of fruit and a huge protein Superfuel smoothie. This is consumed at the completion of my 40-minute morning exercise routine, or after morning exercise plus formal workout. Before morning exercise, I’ll grab a couple bites of dried fruit. The idea with the increased (nutritious) carbs, increased calories, and decreased fasting is to focus my energies and stress hormone resources on performance, recovery, more performance, more recovery - and support that focus by striving for maximum cellular energy status at all times. I still validate the incredible health benefits of fasting and keto that I've written about and discussed extensively for years, but it's important to think of these strategies as tools to improve your eating choices, self-discipline, gut function, and so forth. Fasting, keto, low-carb, time-restricted feeding, etc. are most beneficial if you don’t move your body much and eat too much food, especially processed foods. If fasting keeps you away from a crappy All-American breakfast of processed carbs (toast with sugary jam, sugary cereal, sugary Starbucks, baked goods with refined grains and seed oils, etc. - big win! But these are indirect benefits, not inherent benefits. I challenge anyone to contend that my huge bowl of morning fruit and high-protein smoothie is not beneficial for my active, athletic lifestyle. In conclusion, eat nutriend-dense, easy-to-digest foods, move more in everyday life, go hard once in a while, and you will promote metabolic health, disease protection, and aging gracefully. #bradprotein #bradsuperfuel #longevity #longevitydiet #longevityfitness #longevitytraining #centenarian #centenariangoals #aginggracefully #antiaging #liveto123 #bradliveto123
Let the birthday weekend pics begin…we beat the bomb cyclone and made it to the East Coast to be part of three generations of family here to celebrate nana’s 100th birthday Sunday. Looking forward to a weekend of sharing stories of love and laughter with everyone all together. My grandmother has been a force of strength and support in my life for as long as I can remember. She is still an amazing inspiration, living independently in the home she built with her husband over 70 years ago. #centenariangoals #family
So I have been posting in my stories this week the progress of my 3 day fruit fast. This is a fast where I eat nothing but fruit for 3 days. I chose grapes, pomelos and cantaloupe as those are some of my favorites. Grapes, berries and melons are best. So before I started I weighed 176.2 lbs. After day 1, I weighed 171.6 lbs. After day 2, I weighed 167.6. After day 3, I weighed 165.8. That is over 10 lbs of weight lose in 3 days. That is a big drop and is mostly water weight due the the elimination of sodium. While the weight lose is nice the many other health benefits are the true reason why I do it: 🥭 Digestive rest 🍈 Mental clarity and focus 🍇 Lymphatic system cleansing 🫐 Cellular regeneration 🍑 Cellular hydration 🍉 Intestinal cleansing 🍓 Skin cleansing This is a beautiful magical experience I would recommend to anyone. I feel so good when I do this! My complexion radiates and my mental fortitude is enhanced. ✨🙏💚🌱 The power of fruit is so amazing!

So what’s the secret to a longer and healthier life? What are common factors among centenarians who lead healthy and fulfilling lives? We all want to live for as long as possible without being so frail or weak that we cannot enjoy life to its fullest. But what if the real “fountain of youth” lies in our consciousness? In a conversation with clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Mario Martinez, we discussed the insights he’s discovered after 30 years of research into healthy longevity. And surprisingly, genetics, lifestyle, environment, socioeconomic status, or even family health history are not the big movers of healthy longevity. The secret lies in something he calls centenarian consciousness. He argues that aging doesn’t necessarily lead to deterioration if you live a fully optimized lifestyle, nor do we have to be victims of our genetic profiles. Learn more about Dr. Martinez’s research into centenarian consciousness: https://loom.ly/35Hqbn0
Western culture tends to depict aging in a negative light. As if it is something to be ashamed of or looked down upon. But there’s more to aging than the biological process—and we need to question the cultural stigmas around old age. Elders or senior citizens hold a treasure trove of insights that we can use to enrich our lives for a more fulfilling existence. “For there is assuredly nothing dearer to a man than wisdom, and though age takes away all else, it undoubtedly brings us that. “ —Cicero, Roman philosopher Listen to Dr. Mario Martinez, a clinical neuropsychologist, leading expert in healthy longevity, and the founder of Biocognitive Science, as he shares the wisdom of the aged based on his 3 decades of research into healthy longevity: https://loom.ly/yGcRJBg
I’m four months into my “experiment” to consume more carbs, more total calories, and cease with fasting in favor of eating a huge bowl of fruit and a huge protein smoothie every morning. Listen to my two interviews with @jfwellness and my four podcast episodes on ‘energy balance reflections.’ My extra calories (similar training and lifestyle patterns) have resulted in improved body composition, improved fitness, better workoout recovery, and resolution of nagging injuries. Somehow I didn’t add body fat, and I’m still vain, I mean vein… I’m sold on the idea of “eat more, move more” in pursuit of longevity and peak performance. Note: I’m talking about eating nutritious foods only, and in fact my indulgences have minimized because I eat so much good food. I contend that my nutrient dense, fully fueled diet prompts a more active, energetic day. #energybalance #bradpodcast #longevity #longevitydiet #longevityfitness #longevitytraining #centenarian #centenariangoals #aginggracefully #antiaging #liveto123 #bradliveto123

This week, I had the great privilege of personal training with 101-year-old Tom of Lake Tahoe. Yes people, it’s possible to be strong, healthy, vibrant, happy, alert, and energetic into triple digits. This guy CRUSHED two workouts featuring balance drills, bodyweight exercises, flexibility/mobility drills, and resistance cords - all while talking non-stop with precise memories and references about the old days of golf (he once tied Ben Hogan and beat Sam Snead at the Phoenix Open in the 40s). He claims to be lucky, but let’s be honest about his lifelong devotion to health. He has a history of long distance running and trains two days per week in the gym. He says he’s confident he’ll reach 102, but not sure about 103. On that note he says, “I don’t want to end up in a wheelchair” - what a line from a centenarian! Start now everyone - walk every single day, engage in regular resistance training (doesn’t have to be long or exhausting, just get going on something like micro-workouts at first!), sprint once in a while, and by all means be selective about what food you eat. #fitover100, #fitoverfifty #liveto123 #peakperformance #peakperformancepassion #primaltraining #primalfitness #primalfitnesscoach #microworkouts #longevity #longevitydiet #longevityfitness #longevitytraining #centenarian #centenariangoals #aginggracefully #antiaging #bradliveto123

Had a great day in London today. My highlight was lunch with Leslie Kenny. Founder of Oxford Healthspan. Leslie is a Southern Californian entrepreneur and Berkeley and Harvard Business School graduate, whose life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis in her 30s. When her doctors told her lupus had a life expectancy of 5 years and that rheumatoid arthritis could only be managed, not cured, she set out to optimize her health as best she could using safe, natural solutions. And look at her now! She is heavily invested and knowledgeable about longevity. Her company has launched this fascinating and science-backed product derived from spermidine. #Spermidine is a cornerstone in Japan's aging wisdom, known for boosting autophagy which is the body's cellular renewal and recycling process that slows as we age. Spermidine works to support brain and heart health. It also helps with age-associated sleep disruption. Japanese centenarians on the island of Okinawa consume a spermidine-rich diet. And we know the Okinawans are the longest-living centenarians in the world. Spermidine also improves hair growth and fullness (including eyelashes) and strength. Can’t wait to try it. #longevity. #wellness #live #centenarians #centenarian #centenariandiet #centenariangoals

Just had a great conversation with Primal Health Coach Ryan Baxter @rjbhealthcoaching to further discuss how diet can support peak performance, and the reflections on my shows with @jfwellness Jay Feldman of Energy Balance podcast. Podcast episode coming soon. I’ve been on a seven-week experiment to eat a big bowl of fruit and a whey protein superfuel smoothie every morning, and make a concerted effort to eat more calories overall. Ryan did a highly quantified experiment lasting one year where he ate 700 extra nutritious calories per day and didn’t add any body fat. Very interesting commentary prompting me to rethink some of the foundational elements of ancestral health, particularly whether ambitious fasting combined with an ambitious exercise program combined with being in the 55+ age division might be stacking too many stressors. Listen to the B.rad podcast hard in the coming weeks (and download the recent Jay Feldman interviews) to get deep into the matter of how nutrient-dense eating might help you turn up all the dials of metabolic, hormonal, immune function and overall wellness and peak performance. Check Ryan’s article asking “Should you skip breakfast?”: https://rjbhealth.coach/2021/03/08/should-you-skip-breakfast/ I’ve been doing so for many years and rethinking it lately.

Yes that’s a MISS on Instagram! Trying for 5’2” (1.57m) and will get it soon. #mastershighjumper Regarding my recent post on testosterone, I’m pleased to see my T numbers in the high zone, but don’t get me wrong - I am not gloating nor satisfied. I continue to be frustrated by recurring soreness, minor injuries, and delayed recovery from high intensity sprinting, high jumping and weight lifting workouts. As I share in my recent Energy Balance interviews and commentary, I believe that combining my extreme eating patterns (fasting/keto/low-carb), with high intensity workouts, and being in the 55+ age group has been too much stacking of different stressors. I seem to feel and perform pretty well in general, but as @carnivoremd2.0 Dr. Paul Saladino says, let’s always try to level up. I’d love to go from level 7 to level 9, while not even being sure I’m as high as level 7! Hence, I’ll continue to experiment, refine, remain open-minded and think critically. Thanks for being on this journey with me! Speaking of testosterone levels, the “standardized reference range” for testosterone in males under age 40 was recently downgraded to 264-916 (from the previous range of 348-1197.) This is widely believed to be a concession to rising rates of obesity globally (which tanks T levels), and modern stressors like environmental estrogens, poor diet, sleep, and exercise. If you are under 40 with T of 265 you are “normal,” but it might also be considered pathetic. I recently cringed listening to a hormone replacement therapy expert contend that you should start on a hormone protocol, “as soon as you start feeling like shit, because if you’re too tired to correct to change diet, exercise, lifestyle practices, you won’t succeed.” Fair point, but I think we can all focus on taking baby steps toward health and natural hormone optimization. I like how @LiverKing says to start hitting the nose-to-tail superfoods and supplements to re-energize your depleted cells and help you get up and out the door to a more active lifestyle. Set a simple goal of conducting a morning exercise routine (BradKearns.com for online course details), no matter how small you start,
It's time for another edition of #ThrowbackThursday with this week's newest Senior Social Star, Ms. Lois Jones! If you're a fan of our page, you may have recently seen that we celebrated Ms. Lois' 100th birthday this week, and with 100 birthdays under her belt, you can bet that Ms. Lois is full of great stories. We're particularly fond of hearing about her days working at the Maybelle Dress Manufacturing Co. in Gulfport where she served as a seamstress and supervisor for over 20 years. Legend has it that Ms. Lois was so good at her seamstress position that some of the other ladies in the factory could barely keep up with her. But to her, she just wanted to stay busy so she would sew as much as she possibly could each day. And that work ethic has stuck with her to this very day. She continues sewing various items for others in the Seashore community like masks, dinner bibs, and even crocheted hats. What may be even more impressive is that she's never used a pattern for any of her sewing. Talk about a Project Runway Designer OG! Ms. Lois Jones...Designer...Dependable...Senior Social Star! #60yearsofmss #thenandalways #centenariangoals
Ikigai is a Japanese ideal that describes having a strong life purpose - doing stuff in the intersection of the circles of this image! The longevity superstars of Okinawa (a region of Japan with Okinawa island and hundreds of smaller islands) have ikigai as a cultural centerpiece. Beyond your career pursuits, it’s valuable to establish purpose and meaning in all areas of life. This is especially true with diet, fitness, and health goals. Competitive athletic pursuits will keep you focused and motivated every day - even if you’re just competing with yourself. Eating to feel great, prevent disease, promote longevity, and also to send a message that you support health-conscious brands and reject the peddling of poisons to humans will keep you dialed in at all times. Supporting and encouraging others and setting a positive example makes it something bigger than you and a great way to nurture ikigai. #ikigai #okinawalongevity #okinawaikigai #lifepurpose #mofomission #longevity #longevitydiet #longevityfitness #longevitytraining #centenarian #centenariangoals #aginggracefully #antiaging #liveto123123 #bradliveto123
This past week, South African Johanna Mazibuko celebrated her 128th birthday.

The ONLY thing on the planet that makes Protein is PLANTS!! Anytime you consume an animal the only reason you receive Protein is because that animal has eaten plants OR that animal has consumed another animal that has eaten plants !! 🤔 So why get your protein from a secondary source?? 🤷🏽♂️ #100&Healthy #plantbased #centenariangoals #eattolive

Recent meals. Some points for creativity but perhaps not variety…I’m going for maximum nutrient density as top priority, and also maximum enjoyment. These seem to be my go-to meals, of course supplemented by tons of the highest quality dark chocolate, and my morning Superfuel whey protein smoothie (New product coming soon for your enjoyment!) pictured in the slideshow are things like: pastured humane certified eggs, grassfed steak and ground beef, grassfed liver and liverwurst, organic chicken hearts, sauerkraut/kimchi, Okinawa all-purple sweet potato, fried corn tortillas.

Opa turned 100 yesterday. While he refused the mayor's congratulatory visit to his home (a Bavarian tradition), we got the entire family here together to toast to a century of life. #centenarian
Start your week with intention! Intention to be healthier & develop a workout regimen that gets you moving. That may be a walk around the block after dinner 3 nights a week or a lunch walk around the parking lot with coworkers. It may consist of a short workout in your den floor with your children. For the gymers…If any of my Greenville peeps need help, Im glad to help you get started or just come workout with me!! 😃Extreme Fitness 24/7 is awesome. Gym life is addictive! #healthylifestyle #buildmoremuscle💪💪💪 #livingmybestlife❤️ #knowbetterdobetter # #gymlife #dothework #centenariangoals #nevergiveup #justgetstarted #youcandoit
If today you could do something to turn back the hands of time, would you do it? If you could take a deep dive into your health through bloodwork and learn what you could do to improve your performance, your strength, longevity, heart health or improve your stress levels why would t you take action NOW, instead of when it’s too late. Prevention is always the answer and being proactive is even better. I’ve got a limited time discount for you to get your own labs done and have me as your coach to help you understand your results. If you wanna learn more, message me and I’m happy to tell you all about it. This is one of my personal results and one of my clients just tested 5 years younger as well. I’ll recheck in about 6 months to see how my interventions have helped. #longevitylifestyle #turnbackthehandsoftime #biohacking #powerofplants #testdontguess #antiagingtips #increasedenergy #increasedsleep #increasedperformance #increasedcognition #livesmarter #livesmarternotharder #longevitymedicine #centenariangoals #insidetracker #heathyliving #nutritionideas #exerciseideas #nutritionprogram #workoutprogram #doctormoms #momswhoski #sciencemoms #momswholovecars

This fluffy girl just got done with a 4 mile training run. The body works so much harder with excess body fat outside and in. I can blame Covid. I can blame my gym shutting down. I can blame the amount of work hours I put into my job. But if you know me, I’m not even going to go there, because everything that takes place in my life is owned by me. And when you own up to things, you’ve got the greenlight to do everything possible to change it and make it what you want to be. Please give this a like to motivate me, inspire me and hold me accountable. And if you don’t, that’s OK, because this is 100% up to me. #CentenarianGoals #FitnessIsEverything #JustBeingReal
Medical Cannabis goes as far back as Ancient Kemet (Egypt) Egyptians exemplified a truly holistic use for the Plant. Some practical uses were for Glaucoma & feminine Health.. Cannabis or “Shemshemet” as it was called would be ground into Honey before being applied inside the Vagina to “cool the Uterus & eliminate its Heat”.. In the Odyssey Homer wrote “EVERYONE in Egypt is a skilled Physician”.. This was most likely due to women, as well as men, being able to practice Medicine. A privilege many women in other ancient societies did not share.. #healthiswealth #longevity #antiaging #centenariangoals #cannabis4cures

My favorite centenarian, WWII veteran, and dog lover, passed this morning less than 2 months from his 102nd birthday. He was a wonderful man, and thought I was such a pretty dog. #centenarian #worldwar2 #wwiiveteran #ww2vet #101yearsold #tacobell #centenariangoals #centenariandiet
