Retired From Your Service Job? 4 Anti-Aging Solutions to Help You Stay Vigorous, Fit, Strong, and En
After dedicating your life to serving your country, it makes sense that you still want to maintain the strength, energy, and resilience you had during your service years.
Staying young and vigorous after retirement doesn’t have to be a challenge — it’s about choosing the right strategies to keep you at your best.
Dr. Kirt Tyson and our men’s health experts team here at Performance Rejuvenation Center offer several anti-aging solutions to help you achieve those goals.
Here’s what you need to know.
Lifestyle habits to keep you strong in retirement
Just because you retire doesn’t mean you have to settle for fatigue and low muscle tone. Here are a few lifestyle modifications that can keep you feeling youthful:
Add resistance training to your weekly routine
Building and maintaining muscle is an essential part of aging without feeling like you’re aging. At-home resistance exercises like push-ups, squats, and resistance band workouts can help preserve muscle mass, improve bone health, and boost metabolism.
Keep it in your routine (if you were already doing it), or add it at least 2-3 times each week.
Prioritize your nutrition
Your nutrition is just as critical now as it was during your years of service, but keep in mind that your dietary needs change with age. For example, the National Resource Center on Nutrition & Aging recommends that older adults get more protein. Their recommendation is 0.45-0.55 grams of protein per pound of body weight; however, you may need more if you focus on building lean muscle mass.
Focus on high-quality proteins, healthy fats like omega-3s, and plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants.
Supplements like collagen, vitamin D, and protein powders can also support muscle repair, joint health, and energy.
Focus on mobility work
Mobility work is what keeps you feeling flexible. Regular stretching, yoga, or Pilates can improve flexibility, enhance mobility, and prevent injuries. These exercises also support muscle recovery and reduce stiffness.
You can incorporate 10–15 minutes of stretching daily to improve your range of motion and posture.
Keep your mind sharp
Keeping your mind sharp is as crucial as physical fitness. Challenge your brain with puzzles, reading, and learning new facts daily.
Four anti-aging solutions to help you stay vigorous, fit, strong, and energized
While healthy lifestyle habits like exercise and eating healthy are good, anti-aging solutions can take your energy and stamina to the next level.
At Performance Rejuvenation Center, our team offers:
1. Peptide therapy
Peptide therapy uses naturally occurring amino acids to boost specific bodily functions such as increasing growth hormone levels, improving sex drive, visceral fat loss, energy, and greater lean body mass. Peptides are chemical messengers for muscle development, fat metabolism, and energy.
Performance Rejuvenation Center recommends the best peptide based on your blood work and treatment goals. Available peptides include growth hormone peptide therapy, Semorelin, Tesamorelin, Pentadecapeptide Arginate (PDA), PT141, semaglutide and tirzepatide.
2. Testosterone therapy
Testosterone naturally decreases after age 30 — and continues to drop about 1-2% per year — so if you’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue, decreased muscle mass, and a reduced sex drive, you’re far from alone.
Testosterone therapy can help combat these symptoms so you can feel like yourself again.
3. Hormone replacement therapy
Testosterone isn’t the only hormone that becomes off balance as you age, and that’s where hormone replacement therapy comes into the picture. Hormone replacement therapy can restore balance to your hormones.
If you're experiencing fatigue, low libido, or muscle loss, this anti-aging solution can help rebalance your hormone levels. Your Performance Rejuvenation Center provider reviews your blood test to determine the right type of hormone replacement for you.
Hormone replacement therapy is typically available as injections, topical creams, gels, and oral medications.
4. Growth hormone therapy
Growth hormone (GH) helps support muscle mass, bone density, and metabolism. If you have low GH levels, growth hormone replacement therapy can help regulate these processes. This therapy can, in turn, give you renewed energy, better muscle recovery, and improved body composition. Blood tests help determine if GH therapy is right for you.
