Are you working harder than ever on your health… but seeing fewer results? You're not alone—and it's not your fault.

In this week's episode of Pod of Inquiry, Dr. Stephen Barrett sits down with Ben Brown, a clinical nutritionist, exercise physiologist, and functional health expert with two Master's degrees, to break down what really drives muscle growth, longevity, and sustainable health after 40.

This conversation rewrites the rules on metabolism, exercise, dieting, and long-term health.

⭐ In This Episode, You'll Learn:

✔️ Why eating MORE may be the real key to building muscle after 40
✔️ How overtraining destroys your immune system (and the signs you're doing too much)
✔️ Why restriction-based diets fail 99% of the time
✔️ The longevity supplement protocol Ben actually uses
✔️ How to dose exercise like medicine for optimal results
✔️ Why most professionals in their 40s–60s sabotage their own health without knowing it
✔️ Ben's personal journey through gut issues, H. pylori treatment, and functional medicine
✔️ How to create a sustainable health operating system that fits your life—not the other way around

🧠 Who This Episode Is For:

• Anyone 40+ trying to maintain or rebuild muscle
• High-performers struggling with energy, gut issues, or burnout
• People who keep falling off diets or training plans
• Anyone wanting longevity without extremes
• Busy professionals or executives who want to feel good and perform at a high level
