This enchanted stream of life is the hope that pushed me through the darkest times, and now I champion every step of preventive medicine like I'm keeping the lights on. What's the real fountain, if not the will to rise again? "I don't need the actual Fountain of Youth—I found it in my morning affirmations and green juice."
A poetic name for that mythical protein shake we hope actually bulks up lean body mass while turning back the clock. Who needs warm-ups when you've got a magic potion and a few reps left in the tank? "Let's hope the Fountain of Youth tastes like creatine because gains shouldn't age."
It's essentially a metaphor used by people who haven't yet quantified the optimal number of milliliters they think it takes to reverse aging, probably because they got distracted reading meta-analyses. Expect to see it on the cover of your next supplement targeting a 'youthful inner glow.' "I wonder what the Fountain of Youth's effect size is in double-blind studies. Am I right?!"
