The idea

Most of what we call "getting old" is a mix of things you can influence.

Muscle, sleep, blood pressure, blood sugar, connection and how well we use our medicines all shape how we feel after 60. None of it is magic, and all of it is learnable.

This playbook puts the best-supported ideas in one place — with checklists, logs and a day-by-day plan — and it tells you when to talk to your doctor, and when to call for help.

Dr. Alan Brooks
About the author

Hello, I'm Dr. Alan Brooks

I host the Vital After 60 channel, where I explain health topics for older adults in plain English: what the evidence says, what it doesn't, and what you can do about it.

This playbook collects the most useful ideas into one organized plan. It is educational and is not a substitute for your own doctor's advice.
