Hello, please do enrol yourself with a good wellness/health coach who can guide you holistically.
You may need some therapeutic yoga, some natural supplements like triphala, ashwagandha, noni juice, etc.
You may require some form of mindfulness/meditation techniques, some breathing exercises and some massages to aid you towards wellness.
If it is not happening only with diet, then you have to be under daily guidance for 4-6 months.
I feel if you work with a good wellness coach, you should start improving greatly. Even your joint pain should start reducing.
B: Can you recommend any particular workout for all parts of body. Asking for a 55 year old male.
Hello B, every body is different. It will be best if you can go to a physiotherapist or a gym trainer.
