My wife and I habitually get up early in the morning, around 5 or 5:30. On the weekend, we sleep in until about 6 or 6:15. We have our little routine. We get up, we chat a little bit, I brew coffee and we take care of the two dogs. We watch a little news and check the weather, then I go exercise.†
I have a recumbent bike up in the bedroom. I ride the bike for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how much time I have any given morning. I do a lot of stretching, as well as pushups and weight lifting, so it’s a nice morning workout.†
After that, I have my morning concoction. It’s a health blend made up of several powders that I mix together. For me, the best time to take it is after exercise.†
Why your body needs this concoction
With age, we have this natural loss of tissue, strength and even memory functions. This concoction addresses everything in my body. It’s not my vitamins. I take my vitamins and other more obscure supplements later with my breakfast.†
When you hit 50 or so, you really want to know about this blend. When we hit our mid-20s, our collagen production begins to decline. That’s an issue because this is the second most common ingredient in the human body. 67% of your joint cartilage is collagen, 70% of your skin is collagen and most of the tissue in your hair and nails is collagen. Your bone is 36% collagen and collagen also makes up the blood-brain barrier that keeps toxins out of the brain. With age, as your body makes less collagen, your body suffers. If you take collagen, it helps rebuild your bones, safeguard the health of your joints and supports your hair, skin and nails.†
COLLAGEN LOSS MAY ACCELERATE AGING – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 226. Listen Now>>
With age, we also make less of the peptides that make our ligaments and tendons, so they tend to stiffen, dry out and develop microtears. This is the most common injury in aging people because they cannot maintain the structure of these tissues.†
We go through a situation with age which is called sarcopenia, where we have an age-related drop in muscle and strength. Nobody wants that because nobody wants to fall down and break their hip or hit their head. If you have more muscle, that doesn’t happen, plus you’re stronger and you survive better.†
The important nutrients found in my morning concoction
One way I push back on aging is by taking a scoop of Collagex HA. This formula provides collagen, as well as glucosamine and hyaluronic acid. Collagex HA is addressing my bones, my skin, my joints, my hair, my nails and my spinal tissue.†
Then I add a scoop of Flex HxⓇ. Flex HxⓇ is engineered to help with your ligaments and tendons. This formulation has the peptides specific for ligaments and tendons, otherwise you can end up with golfer’s elbow or tennis elbow.†
I also take Active HxⓇ, which is beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB). We used to say that you should take whey protein for your muscles, and it’s still a great option, but researchers have found that it’s the branched-chain amino acid leucine that is important because it turns into HMB. This helps prevent muscle loss in older people.†

I add half a scoop of Bone Powder to my morning health concoction to provide my body with the nutrients needed to engineer bone. Finally, I top it off with a scoop of Cocoa HxⓇ. This is real chocolate that offers support for the brain. That’s my morning concoction and I strongly recommend it for older people who want to maintain their health.†
In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. shares his morning routine for keeping his body functioning as he ages. He discusses the different ways the human body can change with age and provides the recipe for his daily morning concoction, made with InViteⓇ Health products.†
Key Topics:
- Why does collagen production decline with age?
- The role of ligaments and tendons
- Research on HMB

Maintaining Muscle Mass with HMB – InVite Health Podcast, Episode 442
As we age, our muscles can begin to lose strength, leading to issues such as frailty syndrome. HMB is a powerful nutrient that has been shown for its ability to support muscle mass in people as they age, as well as in athletes.
Dealing with Age-Related Muscle Loss, Part 1 – InVite Health Podcast, Episode 408
Muscle loss is thought to impact more than 50 million people worldwide. This is problematic because it can lead to additional health issues including diabetes, physical disability, frailty syndrome and more.

Declining muscle mass is a part of aging, but you can help stop it with the help of fatty acids found in fish oils.†
Age-related loss of muscle mass is called sarcopenia. It’s a natural consequence of aging and actually starts in our 30s. We begin to lose as much as 3% of our muscle and strength per decade and that accelerates to about 5% as we get older.†
The implications of muscle loss
Less muscle mass means you’re getting weaker, which can affect your mobility. This can lead to an increased risk of falls and fractures. A 2015 study from the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research found that older people with muscle loss had over twice the risk of breaking a bone with a mild fall. It could be a broken hip, leg, wrist or arm.†
REDUCE YOUR RISK OF HIP FRACTURES & SUPPORT BONE HEALTH – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 295. Listen Now>>
Muscle can help reduce your risk of injury and your risk of developing diabetes, as it is a storage site for sugar that traps the sugar there and prevents it from reentering the system. Muscle loss can impact your gait, mobility, bone health and posture. Losing muscle can also lead to frailty syndrome, which is terrible because you become inactive and begin to shrink. This often leads to older people losing their independence. Muscle loss may also lead to the development of some age-related conditions such as heart disease, arthritis and dementia.†
Fish oils and muscle health
Fish oils can affect muscle health. Studies have shown that fish oils can help with muscle loss in aging people and people who are ill. Experts think that this might be linked to a reduced level of inflammation in aging muscles. Inflammation increases as we age.†

A study published in the journal Nutrients done by researchers at McGill University found that fish oils, amongst other nutrients, are needed for muscle mass, strength, mobility and physical function in older adults. This can help them to maintain their independence. These researchers recommended approximately 3000 mg of fatty acids from fish oil daily for physical function, muscle mass and strength in aging people. If you take a krill oil supplement like Krill Oil Advanced, you can take less because these fatty acids are absorbed better from krill oils than from fish oils.†
In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. speaks about the power of fish oils when it comes to rebuilding muscle. He shares several studies indicating that the fatty acids in fish oils can benefit muscle strength and mass, while also explaining the dangers of losing muscle.†
Key Topics:
- Research on rebuilding muscle in older men
- How testosterone levels impact muscle health
- The importance of muscle in the body
- Protein’s role in muscle health
- Muscle health in women
