Testing the 1% Rule: A Real-World Experiment

2026-08-0707:12

What if aging didn't have to mean decline? At 60, Dr. Brad Cooper is running a real-world experiment on himself: can he match—or even beat—his marathon and Ironman finish times from over a decade ago, without medications or TRT? In this episode, he lays out the data behind the "1% per year after 40" drop-off, why he's not willing to accept it as inevitable, and the two races that will put the theory to the test—the California International Marathon and Ironman Texas. He also shares the first ...

In this episode of Not Done Yet!, Dr. Brad Cooper unpacks exactly what it means to refuse that condition — and how to shift your personal algorithm from passive de...

2026-05-0513:04

Every January, the list comes out. Lose the weight. Read more. Finally get in shape. And by February, it's quietly filed away — until next year. If that cycle sounds familiar, Dr. Brad Cooper has a confession: he used to be the guy who had a spreadsheet of goals hanging above his bathroom sink. Goals were his identity, his career, his livelihood. And then he discovered something that changed everything. A clear personal vision is a far more powerful driver than goals. And here's the part that...

Turning 60: A Personal Manifesto for Life's Second Half

2026-04-2707:24

Turning 60 should come with a recliner and a slow fade into comfortable routine, right? Not a chance. In this episode of Not Done Yet, host Dr. Brad Cooper marks his 60th birthday not with nostalgia or reflection alone, but with a declaration — a personal manifesto of seven commitments heading into his seventh decade. Equal parts honest, energizing, and unapologetically forward-leaning, this episode is for anyone in life's second half who still has fire in them and refuses to let "fine" be th...
