October 15, 2016. Ten years without a drink. I didn’t get healthy and then quit. I quit, and then — slowly, with help — I started doing things I never imagined: 29,029 vertical feet. A bike race across Iceland (crashed, but I started it). A marathon in two weeks. Loving someone. Loving myself — that one was the hardest. If you’re struggling to quit, or struggling to stay sober — day one or year twenty-five — DM me. I asked for help. It worked. #sober #sobriety #odaat #wedorecover #jasonat60 by @jrsfromnd

No silver bullets.

February 1, 2025: 197.3 lb, 20.3% body fat.
September 13, 2026: 175.1 lb, 13.3% body fat.
Same scale, both times.

That first photo doesn’t show the whole picture. In July 2024 I crashed halfway through The Rift, a bike race in Iceland. I didn’t finish, and my clavicle was broken in five places. Then both knees needed meniscus surgery. That’s three surgeries in about a year.

Since then: a 29029 in August 2025, 29,029 vertical feet, the height of Everest. Kilimanjaro this July.

Here’s what worked. Five things, done over and over:

1. Calories. Managed every day, not guessed.
2. Protein. My body weight in grams.
3. Heavy lifting. Real weight, four days a week.
4. Steps. Every day.
5. Sleep and recovery.

That’s the whole list. Anything else has to help me do those five, or I don’t do it:

→ A system. SupraHuman gave me a nutrition plan, a training plan, and a coach who holds me accountable. For years I tried to figure it out on my own. Having a system made the difference.
→ A low-dose GLP-1. It helps with calorie management. It doesn’t lift, walk, or sleep for me.
→ Enclomiphene and anastrozole. They help my body make its own testosterone and keep estrogen in range. That helps me get more out of lifting, lose fat, and sleep and think better. My doctor prescribes them and we check bloodwork regularly. This isn’t advice. If it interests you, start with labs and a real doctor.
→ Supplements, for metabolism and recovery. They help. They don’t replace anything.

I’m 56. On November 1 I run the New York City Marathon, my first, the day before I turn 57. By 60: 12% body fat, 15 strict pull-ups, and a deadlift twice my body weight.

I’ll keep posting real updates on my wellness story, the numbers and the misses. If you’re over 50 and wondering whether it’s too late, it isn’t. Come along.

If happy is as happy does, then today happy was a morning run near the Pacific Ocean with the surf and sun AND a first cup of coffee at our new business. #runnersover50 #melrobbins #jura #gettingstarted by @jrsfromnd

West Side Highway trail this morning. Grateful for it — and for the people of New York who keep those gardens along the path looking like fabulous .
Back in November. 56 years old, first marathon, world-class city. Let’s go.
(Full Sally O’Malley energy, minus the kicking and stretching.)

One of the best training days of the year— my son, beach, surf, and horse races after our run! Grateful to be a Dad, have a body that still moves, and a son who is patient enough to run at my pace! by @jrsfromnd
