Aging well is not about merely adding years to your life but adding quality and vigor to those years. The STRIDE Adult Program is designed for individuals in their mid-40s and beyond who want to optimize their health, strength, and endurance through evidence-based testing, training, and supplementation. Drawing from the latest science in longevity and performance, here’s why STRIDE stands apart and how it can transform your approach to wellness.

Strength Testing: The Cornerstone of Longevity

Strength is more than muscle—it’s a critical marker of your biological age and predictor of long-term health outcomes. Within STRIDE, we emphasize monthly strength assessments across foundational lifts and movements such as the hexbar deadlift, squat, bench press, pull-ups, and farmer carry. The goal? To hit target benchmarks like 1.5 to 2 times your body weight on deadlift and squat, a solid bench press equal to your body weight, and maintaining functional capacities such as 10 pull-ups and a one-minute farmer carry with your body weight. These metrics don’t just build muscle—they guard against frailty, support metabolic health, and reduce risk of chronic disease.

The Critical Role of VO2 Max and Zone 2 Training

Cardiorespiratory fitness remains one of the most potent predictors of mortality. STRIDE integrates VO2 max testing, aiming for a score above 40, which correlates with robust heart and lung function. Complementing this, Zone 2 training—the sweet spot of moderate intensity aerobic work—trains your mitochondria to efficiently use oxygen and fat as fuel, improving metabolic flexibility and endurance without undue stress on your body. Regular Zone 2 sessions build resilience, improve recovery, and serve as a foundation for high-intensity efforts.

Strategic Supplementation for Optimal Health

Science-driven supplementation can fill nutritional gaps and support key physiological functions. The STRIDE program includes a suite of necessary supplements such as Omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular and brain health, Vitamin D3 with K2 to support bone density and cardiovascular integrity, Magnesium Glycinate for muscle relaxation and metabolic health, CoQ10 as a powerful mitochondrial antioxidant, Creatine to maintain muscle mass and energy production, and Zinc for immune function.

Additionally, there are optional supplements that provide targeted benefits: NAD+ precursors for cellular energy and longevity, Magnesium L-Threonate to enhance cognitive function, Baby Aspirin for cardiovascular protection, Turmeric for inflammation modulation, and Quercetin as a potent antioxidant.

Comprehensive Doctor Checklist: Proactive Health Surveillance

Optimal performance and longevity require understanding your internal landscape. STRIDE recommends regular, thorough health screenings to catch potential issues early and track biomarkers critical for aging well. These include essential tests such as colonoscopy to screen for colorectal cancer, calcium scoring to assess cardiovascular risk, hormone profiling for metabolic and reproductive health, and advanced imaging like DEXA scans for bone density and body composition.

Bonus tests like echocardiograms, sleep studies, cognitive baseline assessments, and microbiome analysis provide deeper insight into heart function, restorative capacity, brain health, and gut health respectively.

Routine blood work every six months monitors cardiovascular risk factors including ApoB, lipoprotein(a), triglyceride to HDL ratios, homocysteine, and fasting insulin—all key players in metabolic and vascular health. Optional blood tests for free testosterone, thyroid hormones (T3), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), HbA1c for glucose control, and methylation status provide a more nuanced view of your health and aging trajectory.

In Summary

The STRIDE Adult Program combines strength, endurance, thoughtful supplementation, and precision health monitoring to empower you to take control of your aging process. By adhering to targeted strength standards, optimizing your aerobic capacity through VO2 max and Zone 2 training, supplementing intelligently, and partnering with your healthcare provider for regular, comprehensive testing, you’re positioning yourself not just to live longer—but to thrive.

If you’re ready to move beyond just surviving and start thriving with a personalized, science-backed plan, STRIDE is here to guide you every step of the way.
