Does this sound like you?

Health after 60 shouldn't feel like guesswork

"Every video says something different."

Every fact in these books was checked against published research or a named US health authority. Where the evidence is thin, the books say so.

"I'm never sure what my numbers mean."

How to check your blood pressure at home so you can trust the reading, and what your A1c, cholesterol and kidney numbers measure, in plain English. Your targets stay your doctor's call.

"I worry about my memory, my heart, a fall."

Chapters on keeping your brain sharp, strong legs and steady feet, and the signs that mean call 911, with a fridge card to fill in.

"I want to stay independent, in my own home."

Safe at home, even when you're alone: a safer bathroom, a lit path at night, choking first aid, and a daily check-in with someone who will act.

One Small Step a Day From Both Books

  • 32 pages
  • 30 day cards
  • 6 printables
  • Only in the Complete Set

The plan turns the Doctor's Notes from both books into one small step a day for a month. Every card says where it comes from, with the book, chapter and page, and most offer an easier option for days when a step feels like too much.

  • Week 1: Start with the basicsp. 5
  • Week 2: Your numbers and your platep. 9
  • Week 3: Senses, strength and the kitchenp. 13
  • Week 4: Signals, safety and your doctorp. 18

Every chapter, the same plan

Once you've read one chapter, you know how to use them all

Almost every chapter in both books follows the same steps, and every single one ends with a Doctor's Note. If you only read the Doctor's Notes, you will still have a plan.

  1. Why it mattersA short opening on why the topic matters after 60.
  2. What this is forPlain words, with a whiteboard lesson where a picture teaches faster.
  3. The stepsNumbered, with how much and how long.
  4. Easier and standard versionsSo bad knees or a walker never leave you out.
  5. Common mistakes, and the fixThe slips people make, and what to do instead.
  6. When to talk to your doctorA short box wherever the risk is real.
  7. Doctor's NoteThe single most practical thing to take away.

A letter from Dr. Cooper

Dear reader,

There is more to staying healthy after 60 than fits into any one video. So I put it all in one place, organized, deeper and more practical: what to do each day, how to read your numbers, which signs to watch, how to get the most from your doctor, and what to put on your plate.

You do not need to read the books in order. Start with the chapter that matters most to you this week. Each one ends with a Doctor's Note: the single most practical thing to take away.

Here is my promise about what these books are and are not. They offer no cures and no miracle fixes. Every fact in them was checked against published research or a named US health authority, and where the evidence is thin, the books say so. They will never tell you to stop or change a medicine on your own. And they keep your doctor in the conversation, because the best plan is the one the two of you make together.

Pick one thing, and start today.

Dr. Edward Cooper, MD

An honest word

What these books will and won't do

They will

  • Give you clear, numbered steps, with how much and how long.
  • Offer an easier version for days, or knees, that need one.
  • Tell you when to call your doctor, and when to call 911.
  • Help you walk into every appointment with your list and your questions.

They won't

  • Promise a cure or a miracle fix. There are none in them.
  • Tell you to stop or change a medicine on your own.
  • Set your blood pressure or blood sugar targets. Those are your doctor's call.
  • Replace your own doctor, who knows your health history.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this a printed book or a digital one?

Digital. You get PDF files to read on a tablet, computer or phone, and you can print the pages made for printing, such as the logs and charts, at home. Nothing is shipped.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay once, and the books are yours to keep. There are no monthly charges.

How do I download the books?

Right after you pay, Gumroad shows you a download button. You also get an email with the same link, so you can download the books again later.

What can I read them on?

Anything that opens a PDF: an iPad or other tablet, a computer, or a phone. A tablet or computer is the most comfortable. On any screen, you can zoom in to make the words bigger.

Is the print large? What can I print?

The books are set in large, clear type with wide margins, on standard US Letter pages. The 11 pages made for printing, such as the blood pressure log, the medication list and the charts, are designed for a home printer, and you may print them as often as you like for your own use.

I lost my file. What do I do?

Open the email from Gumroad that came with your purchase and click the link again. If you can't find it, email hello@dredwardsenior.com and we'll help.

What if the books aren't right for me?

Every product comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email hello@dredwardsenior.com within 30 days of your purchase, and you'll get a full refund. See the refund policy.

Is it right for my situation?

The books are general health education for adults over 60. They are not personal medical advice. If you have a heart, lung or kidney condition, diabetes, or a fluid limit, the books ask you to check with your doctor before you change how you exercise, eat or drink. When in doubt, take the book to your next appointment and ask.

Can I buy the 30-Day Plan on its own?

No. The 30-Day Plan draws on both books, so it comes only with the Complete Set.

Do I need to read them in order?

No. Start with the chapter that matters most to you this week. Each chapter stands on its own.

Who is selling this?

The books are written by Dr. Edward Cooper, MD, and sold through the Dr. Edward Senior store on Gumroad, which handles the payment and the download. Your receipt comes from Gumroad. Questions go to hello@dredwardsenior.com.

Before you go, a free tip

Rise slowly

Before you stand, sit on the side of the bed until you feel steady. Then rise slowly, with something to hold.

Easier option: Set up the bedside the night before. Put a sturdy chair or your walker within reach, a lamp you can switch on from bed, and your glasses and a glass of water on the nightstand.

Talk to your doctor: Dizziness or lightheadedness when you stand, especially if it happens often. Fainting is an emergency after 60. MedlinePlus, the National Library of Medicine's health site, says to call 911 when someone over 50 faints.
