If you’re 50s and up, how many meds are you on?

Longevity doc Peter Attia (seen on Oprah, CBS etc) recommends many drugs as essential but since he didn't finish his residency, not board certified and did 8 year gap with consulting companies, hard to take his advice without few grains of salt. Wealthy health nut are paying him 6 figures for concierge medicine.

Walk, weights, low carb and protein+fiber rich diet, hydration, sleep, sunlight, flossing, wide brim hat and healthy social bonds are probably best medications for people over 50.

So many of these lifestyle docs take kickbacks from companies whose products they promote. David Huberman is another non-practicing longevity doc.

56 - blood pressure meds, and recently an SSRI to help me sleep

high blood pressure and cholesterol runs in my family, so at some point, I will also need to take chol meds.

DH is 61 and takes nothing, though his cholesterol is going up.

I do all that but still need blood pressure meds due to family genetics.

64 and been on GLP1 for 3 years, initially for weight loss, but has been helpful for inflammation and other things.

Just started a statin although did a calcium test that show 0 buildup. But I have had high cholesterol since I was young that isn’t responsive to diet.

So 2 meds, both of which are optional.

All the meds. Got the pillbox at 50. HBP, Cholesterol, biologic for inflammatory disease.

Prediabetic managed by diet but only a matter of time.

I dont eat junk food or drink soda or any of that, but all my family has a deep well of alcoholism and eating disorders and I do eat too much “healthy” food like nuts or chicken or whole grains.

All my relatives dead by 70, so I feel very mortal.

I want to invest in hard core exercise, but we have working parents with school age children, and Im wiped out every night by 1030pm.
