Dr. Michael Guadagnino, a chiropractic physician, published his fitness guide “Fitness Over 50, 60, 70 and Beyond” on March 25, 2025. In the book, he shares more than fifty simple habits, backed by science and real-life examples, and guides your diet, exercise, mindset, and recovery.
Dr. Guadagnino has been practicing chiropractic care since 1991. He holds a B.S. degree in Biology. He also earned a black belt in karate at age 12. He served as a recreation commissioner for 20 years. Thus, he spoke from experience and evidence. He was also featured in News 12 NJ and several scientific journals. Above all, his credentials give weight to every tip.
First, he stresses mindset. He opens with a chapter on “Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.” he makes it apparent that having a positive attitude makes every meal and workout healthy. He also suggests that individuals should put down their objectives and read them every day for motivation. This little thing helps establish consistency and responsibility.
Next, he mentions nutrition. He talks about carbs, proteins, and fats simply and in detail. He also mentions popular diets like vegan, keto, and Mediterranean, and says that no one plan works for everyone. He encourages people to carefully read labels and choose meals with few ingredients that are easy to understand. In addition, he highlights fasting benefits and portion control.
Furthermore, he tackles supplements. He gives an “encyclopedia” of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. He tells people to talk to their physician before adding any new supplements to their regimen. He writes, “Some supplements may interact negatively with medications,” so readers avoid them.
He then turns to movement, outlining strength training, stretching, and dynamic warm-ups. He appeals to beginners by saying, “Start slow. Don’t compare yourself to others.” He also explains how to prevent injuries by strengthening supporting muscles.
He also shows inspiring examples. He shares about Joan Campbell, who started swimming at age 59 and finished a 1,500 m race at 92. He recalls Jack LaLanne pulling 70 boats at age 70. He quotes Chuck Norris saying, “You know I’m 84 today, but I feel like I’m 48.” These stories prove age is no barrier.
Moreover, he cites hard data. He notes that 41.9% of Americans are overweight, raising risks of heart disease and joint pain. He references a February 2024 JAMA study showing active seniors had lower odds of COVID-19 hospitalization. He writes, “Fitness over 50 means having your organs work as they did when you were young.”
He dedicates a chapter to hormonal health. He explains that testosterone declines 1% per year after 40 and gives natural strategies to combat it. He advises readers to test free and total testosterone via home kits or labs. He details diet, exercise, and stress-management tips to keep levels healthy.
In addition, he covers mind and social health. He talks a lot about talking to people, doing mental workouts, and having good connections. He says that being alone might make you depressed and make your brain work less well. He says that group sessions or working out with a friend might help you remain motivated and intellectually sharp.
He also highlights incidentals. He explains the role of rest, hydration, and stress control. He cites a 2023 Gallup poll where 43% of people reported poor sleep. He reminds readers that recovery is as vital as exercise.
Dr. Michael uses short, energetic words and good transitions. He doesn’t use jargon and writes in clear terms. He asks readers to underline important parts and write comments in the margins. He says that becoming fit is a long-term goal, not a fast cure.
Readers will find practical takeaways on every page. They learn to pick whole foods, move safely, and guard their mindset. They see that small changes add up to big gains in energy and confidence. They also see that age can bring strength, not decline.
