Why this book

A roadmap for your second half of life

Many people reach their 50s, 60s, and 70s assuming decline is inevitable. Roy’s journey shows a different story: you can change the trajectory—at any age—by changing how you eat, move, recover, and think about aging.

Beyond quick fixes

From “sick & tired” to Super Ager

After years of living on the Standard American Diet, Roy found himself headed toward the same chronic diseases that haunt many families. Instead of accepting it, he treated healthy aging like an engineering problem: research the variables, test the systems, document what works.

Science + lived experience

What actually moves the needle

Inside, you won’t find miracle supplements or biohacking extremes. You’ll find:

  • Why food quality and ultra-processed foods matter so much
  • Movement that supports joints, balance, and energy
  • Why stress, sleep, and relationships are “silent nutrients”
Make it personal

A book you can actually use

Each chapter ends with reflection prompts and simple actions you can take this week—whether you’re just starting or already on your healthy-aging path.

  • Quick wins for momentum
  • Deeper practices for long-term change
  • Space to think about your own “100-year life”
Inside the book

What you’ll learn as you read

Secrets of a Super Ager weaves simple science, stories, and practical tools into a roadmap you can revisit for years—like a user manual for the second half of life.

1. Rethinking food & fuel

Learn why nutrient-dense foods beat “energy-dense” junk, how to spot ultra-processed traps, and simple swaps that can quietly reduce inflammation and stabilize energy.

  • The “Food Quality First” framework
  • How to read labels without going crazy
  • Building a plate your future self will thank you for

2. Movement for the long haul

Forget punishing workouts. Think in terms of joints, balance, and circulation—so you can still travel, hike, and play with grandkids in your 80s and 90s.

  • Why “all-or-nothing” fitness keeps people stuck
  • Daily movement rituals you can start at any age
  • Rebounding, walking, and nature as powerful tools

3. Calm brain, steady spirit

Aging well isn’t just about blood tests. It’s also about your stress load, mindset, and the quiet joy you get from how you spend your days.

  • Forest-bathing, earthing, and time in nature
  • Stress, sleep, and why your nervous system matters
  • Building a life that feels worth living to 100

About the author

Meet Roy Blacksher

A lifelong engineer, Roy eventually turned his analytical mind toward the biggest design problem of all: how to build a long life that actually feels good to live.

Engineer, experimenter, Super Ager.

Roy doesn’t just write about healthy aging—he lives it.

After decades of conventional habits, Roy found himself facing the same patterns that show up in too many families: creeping weight, rising risk, and a calendar full of doctor visits. Instead of giving up, he went back to what he does best: studying systems, testing variables, and documenting the path forward.

Turned his own late-life health reboot into a clear, repeatable framework for others.
Blends research from public-health and nutrition science with decades of lived experience.
Passionate about giving people a hopeful, realistic path to becoming their own Super Agers.

Questions

Frequently asked

Answer the questions readers have before they buy—especially around age, starting point, and how this differs from other health books.

You can adjust these questions over time based on what people ask you in person, by email, or in Amazon reviews. Clear answers reduce friction and help the right readers say “yes.”

Is this book only for people over 60?
+
No. While Roy writes from his experience as a Super Ager, the principles apply to anyone who wants to age well—whether you’re in your 40s planning ahead, or in your 70s making changes right now.
Do I need a medical or science background to understand it?
+
Not at all. Roy uses simple language and everyday analogies. Think “conversation at the kitchen table,” not a medical textbook.
Is this about extreme diets or expensive supplements?
+
No. The focus is on food quality, simple movement, stress reduction, and mindset—changes that are realistic for ordinary people, not celebrities or elite athletes.
How is this different from other health books?
+
Secrets of a Super Ager combines public-health research with one person’s lived experiment. It’s not selling a single “program.” It’s showing you how to think, test, and design a long life that fits who you are.
