I'm TOO OLD to Build Muscle? with Dr. Sean O'Mara [Get faster at Any Age]

Building muscle is something you can do at any age. Many folks over 50 think it's too late for them to become physically fit and build strong, healthy muscle. This is not true. Dr O'Mara and I discuss all things fitness for those of us over 50 (I'm 55 and he's 61). You can start right where you are and become slowly stronger and faster each month by following these simple principles.

Dr. O'Mara works with business executives, professional performers and athletes motivated to optimize through innovative techniques of performance enhancement. Dr. O'Mara has over a decade of experience evaluating and, more importantly, reversing chronic disease. He provides his clients with practical solutions to optimize their overall appearance, performance, health, and quality of life. No risky pharmaceuticals, hormones, or surgical interventions are needed for better optimizing results. Dr. O'Mara and his team used cutting-edge data analytics to glean insights to both identify and leverage innovative biometrics/biomarkers of health, the human genome as well as the microbiome. This inventive research and decade of experience optimizing humans provides Dr. O'Mara the capability to optimize anyone — including you.

I am 85 and joined keto a year ago. Since then I have been visiting a gym twice a week. And yes, my muscles are bigger and stronger and my lifting prowess has almost doubled. So, never give up!

The only thing worse than getting old is letting yourself get old.

I'm 71 and split all our own firewood (we heat all winter with wood). Hubby and I retrieved over 6, 000 lbs this past weekend and this afternoon I split over 1, 000 lbs. Thank you carnivore for our strength, stamina and excellent health.

When I told my oncologist I was a carnivore he hid his disgust behind his N99 mask. After 2 years of therapeutic ketosis in conjunction with chemotherapy as a carnivore I am resolved of stage 3 metastasized endometrial cancer. Now he hides his glee behind his mask. He still will not acknowledge the health benefits of a carnivore diet. Thank you Prof Thomas Seyfried.

I have found a family farm that I get grass finished beef from at 5$ a lb and I am grateful

I am an 88 year old from the UK. 21 days on carnivore, and my ankle swellings have gone, a constant itchy skin rash has gone, arthritis in my fingers has gone, my finger nails used to be brittle are now normal and growing twice as fast, and I feel as good as I have ever felt.

I'm 53 and recovering from two horrible hospital admissions in May. When I came out of ICU I couldn't even stand upright without assistance. Was so many times I felt weak and helpless was not even strong enough to sit upright to hold my head up. Felt like a baby still learning to walk and at times like a new born baby couldn't even hold my head up. Now I can walk without my walking frame.

Ive had rheumatoid arthritis since 2011 and it progressively became worse, i lost my job in 2018 after 23 years.
In the December of 2023 i was diagnosed with a fibro liver score of 22 ( compensated liver cirrhosis) at that stage i was 122kg 5, 8" tall.
Well ive completely changed my diet, im on low carb keto and my liver readings have come way down, im not saying ive cured my cirrhosis but my quality of what ever life ive got left is now worth living.
Dont give up ( i know its easy to say) but you're worth it.
May Gods grace be with all of you.

I'm 69, carnivore 3 years, run up our staircase at home two at a time, play on the playground equipment & play tag with our tween grandkids, always run up any stairs, even escalators, boogie board in the ocean in the summer with the grandkids, love sprinting, etc. At my highschool weight of 135, 5'9", size 6, more energy than I know what to do with. Thank you Dr Berry, and Neisha!! 🥩🧈🥓🥚💪❤️

After my stint in the hospital I asked my doctor about the ketogenic diet and she shot that down in a heartbeat. She said to eat less meat and more vegetables and fruits. I knew I couldn't trust her about my health.

In 2020, at 57 and 215 lbs, I went keto (later carnivore), the weight (50 lbs) just kept melting off, even past my goal, down to 165. I decided that was too light, so I started lifting more heavily and supplementing protein.
It took a year+ but I put 5 lbs of muscle back on. My digital scale says I’m at 14% body fat. I look and feel decades younger.
Now at 62: zero joint pain, zero pharma, zero gut issues, zero hypertension, as well as some other benefits.

I turn 73 today and started sprinting about 6 months ago because of Dr. O'Mara. I love it! I hadn't moved that fast in over 40 years.

I am nearly 69 years of age a man in the Midwest. I’ve been mainly carnivore for three years I have never felt better in my life. Every medical marker is right on the money my health keeps improving daily thank you Dr. Ken Barry and Dr. Sean Omara, you saved my life and you’re saving many others keep up the good work.

[sueware]

Doctors do NOT get excited about my success on the carnivore diet even though my success is evident through blood work, weight loss, BP reduction, metabolic changes for the best results ever. They still tell me that what I did is impossible and that is followed by their comments of "here is a couple of medications I want you to take". REALLY?

Thanks, doctors...keep working on this and getting the word out to us. WE NEED YOU!

Got my blood panel results this week! My A1C was 5.6, Liver and kidney function was good, thyroid function was normal and my FIT test was negative! My cholesterol was a bit on the high side and the doctor wanted to put me on statins! I asked what my triglyceride level was and he informed me it wasn't done! Told him without those results the cholesterol level meant nothing! I told him Eskimos are healthy and have high cholesterol and that there was another study that showed all the test subjects were over 100 years old and they had high cholesterol so I will take my chances!

I'm 62 and I had to brag to my brothers (who are older) that I could run again! They laughed when offered to run circles around them 😂

I’m a 71 year old female and I have been building muscle just using my Total Gym 4 days a week. I’m also primarily carnivore but sneak in a few keto days here and there. Also do IF.

There are so many studies of elderly gaining strength and bone density in their 80's! We learned it in NASM training. Dr. O'Mara is doing the right thing! I told my doctor friend about what you're doing. He thought it was great! I'm now down 40lbs!! Thank you guys!
