INCREASE YOUR MUSCLE MASS, DECREASE YOUR PAIN HOW OH!MINO HELPED DAN FISKE LEVEL UP HIS FITNESS AFTER SURGERY
of pain. Down and out I think I weighed 110 pounds. Now I weigh 165. The gym saved my life because I was a mess.” Dan leaned into fitness. He and his gym buddy Heath Cates started a partnership called The Pec Pop Bros (@pecpopbros. official on Instagram), and his fitness videos on TikTok (@riskyfiske) gained over 700,000 followers. But he still struggled with back pain. BCAAs and creatine didn’t help: The moment he stopped taking them the pain came back and his weight plummeted.
Ten years ago, Dan Fiske was snowboarding down a Colorado mountainside when the edge of his board hit a downed tree. The impact launched him into the air and he flipped down the hill, rolling dozens of times before coming to a stop. “For about three days my back was sore, and then two of the discs in my spine came completely out,” Dan remembers. “The bones just kind of crashed down on top of each other.” Before the accident, Dan was an amateur fitness expo competitor. But he needed three lower back surgeries to get back on his feet. He’d always had a tough time keeping up his muscle mass without regular visits to the gym, and after surgery his weight plummeted. “For years I was just out of the game completely, and I got super depressed,” Dan remembers. “Then about four years ago I started hitting the gym again and it was the one thing that kept me out
the gym,” Dan says. “It’s hands-down the best supplement I’ve ever taken. I don’t take creatine or anything else anymore, just Oh!mino.” Now, Dan is working out five days a week, training for a Musclemania competition in Miami this summer. He hopes that his story will inspire other people who have survived back surgery.
Then, last November, Dan found Oh!mino and started taking our
stimulant-free capsules. Within a few days, his back pain eased. The relief stuck around even when he took breaks between doses, and he actually gained weight instead of losing it! “I take my Oh!mino capsules about 30 minutes before my workout, and I notice about a 30% increase in the amount of stamina I have when I’m in
“If you want to keep mass on, Oh!mino is where it’s at,” he says.
COULD BE THE KEY TO THE COVID-19 VACCINE THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
that researchers think mTOR may contribute to failing immune systems in humans, so blocking the production of this protein could drastically improve the success rate of a COVID-19 vaccine in older adults. As promising as these results and many other studies are, medical experts are quick to remind the public that more research is needed to understand the possible link between anti-aging medications and their effects on the efficacy of a COVID-19 vaccine in older adults. These medications include treatments that indirectly affect aging like some diabetes medication. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for researchers to find a “miracle pill” to boost your immunity. Incorporate natural remedies into your routine instead! Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and other foods rich in vitamin D that boost your immune system — like salmon, mushrooms, and greens — and remember to drink plenty of water. While you’re at it, wear sunscreen to prevent the sun from aging your skin prematurely and increasing your chance of having other health issues. It’s important to stay optimistic and do what we can with what we know now while researchers work toward an effective vaccine.
Vaccines have been the light at the end of this long, dark tunnel we call the COVID-19 pandemic, but scientists don’t yet have a full picture of the virus or its treatments. In an effort to better understand the coronavirus, researchers are looking at how medical professionals can better treat our most vulnerable populations or prevent them from ever contracting COVID-19.
Experts have long feared that a COVID-19 vaccine may not help the older adults who need it most, as these
individuals are often more at risk of contracting the disease and having a weakened immune system. However, some researchers hypothesize that anti-aging medications may boost the effectiveness of the vaccine for older adults, and there are some promising results from early studies. One study published in Nature found that a drug that limited the creation of the protein mTOR lengthened the lifespan of fruit flies and mice. Anti- aging expert Jan Mannick explains
