Before I get old is a website that aims to help unravel the quandries of being a mid-life male. There will be no mentions of ‘crisis’ or maudling misery at getting chubbier, hairier and ever-more-forgetful.

Most of it is opinion, not fact. That’s because in many of the topics we discuss the absolute facts are still to be determined. Health, diet, exercise and mindset are all wonderfully complex matters and, prone to being presented with many different interpretations.

Which is why this site exists. Our aim here is to look at the information, take a view and present our occasionally left-field take on the subject.

We do this because sometimes the most important thing we do is make up our own minds. Our spiritual leader is a small dog called Titch, try not to wake him.
