Total newb to all this and need some practical advice.
Have a retired military working dog, lots of injuries...
OK. Nevermind... It is actually me AND a dog. We're a effed up pair.
Joints, back, hips, some muscle loss. Eyesight is bad. Hearing is bad due to regular close prox to small arms fire and all things that go boom. Blood sugar is now controlled with meds but is still fat even with spot on diet and very little supplementation or meds. Might have Gulf War Syndrome but Vet Always refuses to diagnose.
Want to give him back some pep he had while he served in the military. Re-set the clock so to speak. He was "Dog-bo" and I was "Doug-bo" to say the least. Wear everyone else out and keep trucking. Agile, fast, strong and lean, and all the injuries were yet in the future.
Have him and myself on a good exercise regimen (mainly tactical stuff) along with the diet but you can tell the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Endurance is nowhere near what it was because of pain, weight, age and injury.
I don't have access to Doc Brown's Time Machine so that isn't an option, so I'm throwing this out there.
I want to do a boom pin (single nightly injection due to inability to use medications away from the home) if possible, to address injuries, fat loss, endurance and recovery. Total rejuvenation if possible. I know there is a long ramp time and Rome wasn't built in a day and this ol'dog wasn't brought to his knees in a day either.
Thanks in advance!
