Health Week Begins Today

Health Week Begins Today

Stardate 04.19.2026

Two days ago, a small package arrived from DoNotAge, my international blog sponsor. I’ve shared my personal experience with their research-backed supplements for years. If you’ve read Live Long and Prosper, you already know what my daily routine looks like. If you’ve followed these daily stories, you’ve watched the changes unfold in real time.

There was a season when I realized just how unhealthy I had become. The standard American diet had quietly taken its toll. Left unchecked, I’m not sure where that path would have led, but I knew it wasn’t somewhere I wanted to go.

So I made changes.

I stepped away from processed foods. I began eating in a way that resembled how our ancestors once did. I searched for credible research in the world of health and longevity. That search led me to DoNotAge.

Today, at 65, I can play tennis for hours without fatigue. I can work on detailed projects for an entire day without losing focus. I feel a steadiness in my body and mind that I didn’t have years ago.

My only real challenge was managing the number of supplements I was taking each day.

That’s what changed with the package that arrived this week.

You’re getting a first look at a new product before its worldwide release. What makes it remarkable isn’t that it introduces something entirely new. It’s that it simplifies what many of us have been doing for years. Instead of multiple capsules and powders, this refined formula comes in a single daily sachet mixed with water.

Simple. Practical. Thoughtful.

While researching for my book, I discovered something that bothered me deeply. The supplement market is largely unregulated. There are sellers who offer products that don’t contain what the label claims. If you’re like me, when you try something and it doesn’t work, you assume the idea itself is flawed and you move on.

That’s why it matters who you trust.

I found DoNotAge through a health community that followed respected scientists in the longevity field. What stood out to me is that DoNotAge began as a research company created to support scientists and their studies. Their work grew from the laboratory outward.

Last September, I was invited to attend their first international conference in New York City. I met doctors, researchers, and people from all over the world who shared a common desire: to live healthier, longer lives with intention. We were offered samples of a product still in the final stages of human testing and kindly asked to keep it confidential until the research was complete.

That veil has now been lifted.

This week, I’ll be dedicating each day’s story to health and wellness — sharing what I’ve learned, what I practice, and why it matters. Not as an expert, but as someone who needed a change and found a path forward.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit… therefore honor God with your bodies.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20

For me, this journey has never been about appearance or performance. It’s been about stewardship. Taking care of the body I’ve been given so I can continue serving, writing, building, and showing up for the people around me.

Captain’s Addendum

Spock tilted his head. “Captain, it appears you are suggesting that small daily disciplines produce long-term outcomes.”

Bones smirked. “Imagine that. Take care of yourself, and you feel better. Who would’ve thought?”

I nodded.

Health didn’t change my life overnight. It changed because of quiet, consistent choices repeated day after day. One percent better. One day at a time.

I’m grateful you’re here for this week’s journey.
