Shop: The Gear I Actually Use

I don’t recommend things I haven’t used. Everything on this page is in my own routine right now, and most of it shows up in the numbers on my Scorecard. As the site grows, this is also where Function Over 50 merchandise will live.

Wearables & Testing

The whole premise of this site is measuring instead of guessing. These are the tools that generate the data.

Daily driver

This is how I track my sleep, my workouts, my steps — basically my life. It’s on my wrist 24/7, and it’s the source of most of the daily data behind my experiments. If you’re going to buy one piece of tech to start measuring instead of guessing, this is it.

Nutrition & Fuel

Hitting a protein target after 50 is harder than it sounds. This is what fills the gaps.

Rise Protein Powder

My favorite

My absolute favorite-tasting protein, and I’ve tried a lot of them. No artificial flavors, colors or preservatives; sugar-free, gluten-free and soy-free. This is what goes in the post-workout shake most days.

RiseBar Protein Bars

Clean protein on the go

This is how I get extra clean protein on the days food alone doesn’t get me there. Low on ingredients, high on protein — you can read the whole label without a chemistry degree. I keep them in the truck and the gym bag.

More gear is coming as I add it to the routine. Prices and availability are on Amazon — I don’t list them here because they change.
