The Truth About Getting Fit After 40: Jason’s We Hack Health Journey

Hacking Your Health

We sit with Jason to unpack how a lifelong lifter shifted from volume and “eat everything” to patient nutrition, better sleep, and smarter training, dropping from 277 to under 200 without losing himself. Strength holds, health markers improve, and the mindset around age flips from limit to leverage.
• moving from bro splits and high volume to higher frequency with lower volume
• focusing on body composition instead of scale-only goals
• building a sustainable deficit with high protein and precise tracking
• prioritizing sleep, sobriety, therapy, and stress management
• reframing plateaus as data and progress as long-term
• keeping strength while cutting and why definition looks “bigger”
• challenging age myths and choosing daily standards
• using community, curiosity, and coaching to individualize plans
