Biohacking at any age: Bruce and Robert’s story


Welcome to October, when the weather in Las Vegas truly begins to shift. This is a special month for me; my number turns 52, and I want to celebrate the truth that age is simply a number. Rather than focus on myself, I’d like to honor two people who have been powerful inspirations. Both believed in me enough to trust me with their biohacking journeys. I am forever grateful to these gentlemen because they prove my point: age is just a number.


First is my friend Bruce. He had seen Vegas Wellness with me on the cover and mentioned me to his friend Mike, who was already interested in biohacking and wellness. Mike reached out on Instagram and asked to visit my OsteoStrong center. On April 19, 2025, he and Bruce came in. I put Bruce through a session, as I have with hundreds of others. He was open to trying it and signed up. Meanwhile, something stood out immediately: he felt like a father figure, brother, and best friend all in one. I could see his genuine desire to learn and improve his health. I invited him to my biohacking meetings, where he quickly became a regular and is now a platform member. A few months ago, he purchased B3 BFR bands and uses them consistently with his vibration plate. I’m watching my friend’s life change. He is in better health than when we met last year. This is what it’s all about: the number goes up, but health does not have to decline.


Bruce has become a wonderful representative for biohacking. He remains open to suggestions, does his research, and puts what he learns into practice. It’s inspiring to see someone who understands that health is our most valuable asset. He has become family, not just a member of the center. I look forward to continuing to support his progress. A true biohacker story.


Next is my friend Robert. He was introduced to me by his daughter Michelle, an OsteoStrong member who wanted her dad to try the training. On April 26, 2025, Robert walked into the center, and I was immediately impressed by how he moved. When I saw “1935” on his paperwork, I assumed it was a typo for 1953. Robert was 89 at the time, and I was blown away by how strong and vibrant he looked. I wanted to know his secrets. They weren’t secrets at all: clean eating, spirituality, no pharmaceuticals, and consistent movement. He never sat still or made excuses. He simply kept his body moving so he could do more.


Over the past year-plus, our conversations have continually inspired me and given me hope. Robert is now a regular at the biohacking meetings. Recently, he added B3 BFR bands to his routine. After only a couple of weeks, he already feels the difference in his strength and mental clarity. Once again, I’m watching a friend grow stronger and feel better. As of August, his number is 91, and he is proving the point emphatically: getting older does not mean getting weaker. A few weeks ago he attended a camping retreat and outperformed people in their 60s. Watching the videos filled me with happiness and pride to play a small part in his journey.


As my own number prepares to climb again at the end of the month, I am deeply thankful for everything I’ve learned that helps both me and my friends feel better as the years advance. I believe everything happens for a reason and at the right time. I met Bruce and Robert exactly when I was meant to. I love them both for the inspiration they continue to give me.


I have come a long way in my effort to help this community and educate people about biohacking, yet I keep saying the same thing: I’m just getting started. I will always be grateful to everyone who supports this mission. Thank you all, and Happy 52 to me!
