What are some of the worst diets out there for men over 40? I'm Funk Roberts and my goal is to empower you with knowledge and tools to make informed dietary decisions that will positively impact your life. Sure, perhaps a Paleo diet worked for cavemen – but they only lived to 30, right? The negative impact of specific diets on your health and well-being, diets that are hyped up as quick fixes on social media, cannot be underestimated for men over 40. We're at that stage when we need to take our hormonal balance and cortisol levels into serious consideration as we aim for a diet that becomes a lifestyle. And so in this episode I'm critiquing some of the more popular diets out there and looking at them from the perspective of a man in his 40s, 50s, 60s, or even 70s. A man who needs nutritional support to provide for his family. I understand that navigating the world of nutrition can be overwhelming, but I'm here to guide you every step of the way. In this episode I also offer the ultimate solution to optimizing your nutrition for long-term lifestyle success. Please join us."I just need to follow a nutrition lifestyle that supports my hormones, my metabolism, my overall health, my energy, my mind, my brain. And it's easy to follow because I don't have to count calories. I don't have to weigh my food. I don't have to restrict complete food groups. It's all balanced." ~ Funk RobertsIn This Episode: Addressing the harmful diets for men over 40Understanding hormonal changes and metabolism in midlifeWhat most fitness trainers DON'T understandThe consequences of unhealthy dieting habitsBalanced meal planning for men over 40What nutrition for men over 40 should actually involveSubscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channelwww.over40alphapodcast.comYour support of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast helps to spread the word and ultimately,change the lives of men all around the world over the age of 40, 50 and 60 that struggle with health and fitnessI want to give a MASSIVE thanks to all who are stepping up and leaving5 star reviews.Please review and one share at a time.Drop that 5 star review.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessFunk’s new book ‘Nutrition for Men Over 40’ - www.over40meals.com

I’m always talking about cortisol and testosterone. But there’s one hormone that doesn’t get enough love from me. This is human growth hormone.According to Dustin Baker, today’s guest, human growth hormone is the body's master hormone for both men and women.HGH is responsible for many metabolic functions, and it declines naturally with age, starting after puberty, leading to issues like loss of muscle mass and quality.Fortunately, some natural and synthetic ways can help you increase your HGH levels, and Dustin explains them all.In this episode, Dustin shares his origin story of falling in love with health and fitness in his early 20s and the journey that led him to acquire BioProtein Tech and create their flagship product, Bio Pro Plus.We get into the stigma around HGH treatments and why they've earned a bad reputation. Dustin explains how peptides came as a replacement but are now facing regulation. This is where Bio Pro Plus comes in as a natural alternative.Dustin answers questions about potential benefits for both men and women, including joint health, fat loss, muscle growth, recovery, and more.If you want to learn how to age better, boost your performance in the gym, and feel your best, this episode is the way to go. “My own personal tip [to increase HGH naturally]? Invest in some sort of tracking system and some sort of professional to tell you what to do, get a good schedule together, and just execute it. Don’t make it hard.” —Dustin BakerIn This Episode: What is Human Growth Hormone?The connection between sarcopenia and HGHWhat is insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and why is it relevant?The #1 natural strategy for increasing your levels of HGHThe history of HGH synthetic treatmentsHow can you find the right HGH treatment for youSubscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channelwww.over40alphapodcast.comI want to give a MASSIVE thanks to all who are stepping up and leaving5 star reviews.Your support of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast helps to spread the word and ultimately,change the lives of men all around the world over the age of 40, 50 and 60 that struggle with health and fitnessPlease review and one share at a time.Drop that 5 star review.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685Resources mentioned: BioProtein Technology - https://bioproteintech.com/Connect with Dustin Baker: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bioproteintech/Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitness

You may think that you will stop feeling stress once you retire or change your job or the kids go live by themselves. Hate to break it to you, but stress just won't disappear. The secret is that you don't have to let it wreck your peace of mind.Sure, meditation, hiking, and sunlight are great stress-busters. However, there's a game-changer that often gets overlooked: nutrition.Today's guest will speak about the right nutrition to fortify the body so we can have a strong immune system to fight stressors. Dr. Cori Stern has been on a mission since 2001 to help people reclaim their health naturally. Her journey started in a childhood characterized by a poor diet, chronic infections, and endless antibiotics. At 15, she took matters into her own hands, delving into the mysteries of the gut-brain connection and the impact of diet on well-being.At 37, she emerged as a chiropractor, helping people globally overcome health challenges and advocating for their well-being.Dr. Stern is here to guide us, unveiling the power of eating the proper foods to fortify our bodies, bolster our immune systems, and face stressors.Today isn't about blame.

(It feels impossible!)Does it sound familiar? Guess what? I've got answers.In this episode, we've got the experts: Endre Gabori and Dr. Jonathan Welton.

Most days, the gym is the last place I want to be. I'm talking about an 80% dread rate and a 20% enthusiasm rate.But you know what? I put on those sneakers and hit the gym anyway. No excuses, no complaints, just action.The problem is that many folks out there are chasing external motivation. They think they need a personal trainer screaming in their ear, or they're working out just to show off to that ex who couldn't see their worth. Truth be told, that's not the right path. Relying on external motivation is like building a barrier to hide from accountability. Today, I will tell you the essence of motivation and why it's the heartbeat of your fitness journey and life.It's as simple as this: Without motivation, you're running on empty. You won't find the energy to tackle those things you know you've got to do.We're going to school on motivation—what it really is, how to nurture it, and how it dances hand-in-hand with discipline and habits. This episode is your motivation masterclass, and by the end of it, you'll be ready to conquer the world.
