Life After 40

Philip Blackett

Why I Started Life After 40

Hello there, I’m Philip Blackett.

And on Thanksgiving Day in 2024, I turned 40. What should’ve felt like a celebration ended up sparking something entirely different.

A mid-life reflection — or let’s be real, almost a crisis.

That day, while everyone else was focused on turkey and pumpkin pie, I found myself staring into the second half of my life, unsure of what it was supposed to mean. The ambitions that used to drive me in high school, college, and even early adulthood — money, status, recognition —  just didn’t hit the same.

My body was changing, my priorities were shifting, and I realized that what mattered to me now was much deeper:
Legacy. Longevity. Family. Purpose. Wellness.

And so began a new journey...

I made a decision that day to redefine what life after 40 could look like — not just for me, but for anyone who’s ready to take control of their health, energy, and mindset for the next 40 years.

Life After 40 is the platform I wish existed when I hit that turning point.
It’s a place for people like you and me — people who want to make the second half of life their best half.

Not by chasing fads or unrealistic goals, but by mastering four essential pillars of enjoying more of life after 40:

  • Nutrition that fuels us, not frustrates us.

  • Exercise that builds strength, not exhaustion.

  • Mindset that keeps us going when motivation fades.

  • Recovery that restores us physically, mentally, and emotionally.


Here, you’ll find real-world, actionable strategies — backed by science and lived experience — to help you:

✅ Boost your metabolism and energy naturally
✅ Build muscle and mobility without burning out
✅ Create sustainable routines and systems that actually stick
✅ Prioritize mental clarity and emotional wellness
✅ Invest in tools that help you recover, rejuvenate, and thrive

I’m not here to preach or pretend that I’ve figured it all out.

I’m here to walk this journey with you — to share what I’m learning, what’s working, and what’s possible when we stop settling and start living on purpose.

This isn’t just about wellness. It’s about designing a life you love.

Whether you're 39 and approaching the big 4-0 or 55 and ready for a fresh start, you're in the right place.

Let’s make the second half of life the most energized, joyful, meaningful chapter yet.

Welcome to Life After 40.
