HOG FIELD GUIDE

A short health book for men over 50 who want to stay strong, steady and live longer and healthier!

HOG Field Guide is about the everyday choices that become more important with age: muscle, food, fasting, metabolism, balance, sleep, brain health and meditation.

It is written for men who do not want a giant health manual, a complicated routine or a lecture. It gives them a place to start. Now. In this moment.

WHY CHARLIE WROTE IT 

Before it became a book, HOG Field Guide began as a series of short notes Charlie shared with male friends who did not have time for long reports or complicated health plans. The list grew, the subjects widened, and the notes became a compact guide to strength, food, sleep, balance, brain health, meditation, consistency, and community.

A NOTE FROM CHARLIE

My name is Charlie Oliver. I'm not a doctor or a professional elite athlete. I'm a man who reached 50 and realized that the standard health advice wasn't working for me. I wanted something practical, honest, and slightly irreverent. So I wrote the book I needed. I hope it helps you find your One Thing.
