"Exercise is by far the most potent longevity 'drug' " - Peter Attia

I'm going to pitch some supplements below but wanted to share a reminder that the #1 drug we can all be taking is that little thing called exercise. Even in this manic month of May when things are insane :)

Running a gym is hard. What we've discovered is staying somewhat happily married while raising 3 boys - It's even harder.

Last month Brit and I snuck away for our 40th's / 15 year anniversary and rediscovered that we actually really enjoy being together. YEAH! :)

I try to sneak credit in where credit is due a time or two per year and given that it's Mother's Day this weekend, I want to give a shout out to the person behind the scenes for if it weren't for her, 2020FIT would not exist. Nor would the Rowley family. And I really mean that.

Not to mention she just got a promotion! Boss Brit.

So next time you see her, please thank her for putting up with my dream of trying to make the world a healthier place and all the hours that come along with it.

To all our Mom's - We would be a complete disaster without you as you put other's before yourselves constantly. This weekend I hope you're able to prioritize yourselves as it's more than deserved.

Have a great weekend!

Jon

Some Health Things:

• Brit and I are trying a parasite detox right now. Can't report a full testimonial but my findings are at least interesting being a couple weeks in.
• Are you on creatine? If you're not, it's an easy gap to fill in your health routine. Good for muscles and mind.
• Reading wise - Not health related but business focused - 'Reset' by Dan Heath. Helping you look at things you've seen forever through fresh eyes.
• Hydrogen water? Yes please. Here are the tablets Brit has had me taking the last couple years.
• Come workout outside with the family this June! See below.

A note from Kelly on nutrition:

"Last week's bone health seminar by 2020 member Dr. Shannon Carpenter had me wondering, "Am I getting enough calcium in my diet?" I decided to check my food tracking app, Cronometer, and I wasn't exactly thrilled with what I found. It was a real eye-opener!

How much do I need?

Women, aim for 1000mg/day of calcium if you are under 50 years old and 1200mg/day if you are over 51.  Men, aim for 1000mg/day under age 70 and 1200mg over age 71.  Best practice is to get as much calcium as you can from a variety of food sources, and then supplement if needed.

How do I know if I'm meeting the need?  Look at the list below and see if you are getting a variety of foods high in calcium.  Track your intake over several days in a food tracking app.  Get a DEXA scan.

Cronometer is offering a special deal this month. Their in-depth Nutrition Score assessment, usually reserved for paid subscribers, is available to everyone for the month of May. It’s a great opportunity to get a detailed look at your nutrient intake.  Read more here.
