Are you stuck in the fat-burning zone but still not seeing results? Many people think burning fat during exercise equals fat loss, but the truth is more complex. In today’s episode, we’ll discuss the difference between fat burning and fat loss—and why understanding this can transform your fitness journey. We’ll debunk the common myth that staying in a low-intensity "fat-burning zone" is the best way to lose fat. You’ll understand why your body burning fat doesn’t necessarily translate into fat loss. We’ll also discuss how your body uses calories for energy, how to track your caloric intake and burn, and the importance of quality nutrition in maintaining a calorie deficit. I also highlight the dangers of restrictive diets and share efficient ways to burn calories throughout the day. I address the widespread myth of targeting belly fat and offer a comprehensive fat-loss approach, combined with regular monitoring of body composition and overall progress, which is far more effective than belly fat exercises. So, whether you’re struggling with stubborn belly fat or looking to kickstart your fat-loss journey, this episode is packed with actionable insights that will help you create a sustainable daily routine for lasting fat loss. Tune in to learn how to optimize your workouts, nutrition, and lifestyle for better results.Timestamps:07:01 Fat loss versus fat burning09:57 What is fat burning?12:14 The myth of the “fat-burning zone”16:24 What is fat loss?17:32 Why calorie deficit is crucial for fat loss21:34 What is a calorie?

In 2021, over 38 million Americans (11.6% of the population) had diabetes, mostly type 2, while 97.6 million adults had prediabetes, a precursor to type 2 diabetes.

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

It feels like a slap in the face, and suddenly, you're plunged into a sea of confusion.You, the fixer, started the quest for answers. Therapists, marriage books, advice from everyone you know... but instead of clarity, you found yourself drowning in more questions:Should I pursue or give her space?Is it time for legal help or counseling?How do I regain her trust and respect?Why is she labeling me as a narcissist or a gaslighter?How do I meet her endless needs? (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. Let's dive in!“I’m gonna suggest to you that you can find motivation in discipline because if you rely on motivation entirely, you’re just gonna get tired, right? It’s not gonna work.” —Funk RobertsIn This Episode: What is motivation?

You probably have heard the phrase “knowledge is power.” Although there’s some truth to it, knowledge is not all. You may know what to eat and how to train, but if you don’t follow those instructions or if you don’t apply that knowledge consistently, you won’t achieve any results. You know that struggling with consistency and motivation in your fitness and nutrition journey is hard. So if you’re one of those people who can start something, studies all the facts, get results, and then suddenly get off, this episode is for you. If you’re sick and tired of starting and stopping, this is your opportunity to learn why you behave like this and change this pattern for good. Today I’ll share the number one reason why you can’t get motivated and can’t keep a regular schedule when it comes to fitness and nutrition. But besides sharing the reason, I will give you the solution you need to implement to fix this problem and change your life.

Are you a man in his 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond who is getting back into the dating scene? Maybe you’re newly divorced. Maybe you’ve never had a partner and are looking for someone to share your time with. Or maybe you are single, have just transformed your body, and want to experience a new relationship. Is that you? If I were you, I didn’t even know where to start. I’m happily married, but there were no online apps when I was dating. I used to meet women at the club or at a beach. Now, the landscape is entirely different. And if you haven’t been in the game for a long time, you will be lost. So much has changed. But fear not! Today I have a guest, Koen Geron, who’ll help you learn the ins and outs of online dating, especially for men in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond. Koen Geron spent more than a decade studying communication, psychology, how relationships work, and what makes a person attractive, among other things. He has become an expert in finding partners and has created an online business called Hovalo. Hovalo focuses on online dating for executives, entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals who struggle to find the connection they deserve. I had so much fun talking with Keon. I hope you enjoy it, too, while you learn some tips and strategies to embark on online dating with confidence. “See it as a process, just like fitness. Try to make your gains, try to make your reps, do all the things that you would do for fitness. Also realize that you kinda need to do those things as well for dating profiles. You need to spend hours on swiping, matching, texting, and on your profile.” —Koen GeronIn This Episode: Why would you choose online dating?Type of photos you should put on your profilePicking clothing that makes you attractiveShould you show your body in your pics?What should you write in your description?How to talk about your exes with new datesYou’re not your online dating profileTexting tips and strategiesDon’t worry if your first date sucksOnline dating platforms for older folksSubscribe 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 leaving 5 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 fitness.Please review and one share at a time.Drop that 5 star review.Connect with Koen Geron:Website - www.Hovalo.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@koen-HovaloInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/datingadvicedaily/Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitness

There's a solution to achieve this goal, but you must be patient and consistent. Put your head down for six months, and you won't believe how that fat just seems to disappear overnight. Today's episode is an internal coaching call. I decided to make it a podcast episode because we did a survey about the number one struggle men over 40 have when it comes to fitness. And the number one answer was getting rid of belly fat. I'll guide you on your journey to a healthier, fitter you. This is straight talk here, and most guys simply do not want to hear it. Why? Because it means they will have to make drastic changes in their diet, workouts, and lifestyle. Getting rid of belly fat means you must commit, take your ego and yourself out of the game and follow instructions. It also means you must stop making excuses and blaming other people or your circumstances.You must be in it 100%, or it will never happen!So today, I'm debunking some myths, pointing out the mistakes many men over 40 make, and sharing strategies to eliminate belly fat.Are you ready?

A strong pelvic floor can help with tight hips, back pain, and erectile dysfunction. As a former professional athlete, I know about the importance of it. But only a few guys realize they even have a pelvic floor. Most men think that women are the only ones with a pelvic floor and that it becomes relevant to them when they give birth. Although guys may have heard about kegel exercises or Pilates to strengthen that area of the body, they don’t believe these exercises apply to them. But I have news for you. That little area between the anus and the scrotum is your pelvic floor. You need to strengthen it to improve your sexual drive, the functionality of your bladder, and your performance when you train at the gym or practice sports.So today, I have a guest that is a pelvic floor expert. She is Jana Danielson, a Pilates certified instructor, studio owner, and Amazon Best Selling Author. She has spent many years now educating and training people to make them aware of their pelvic floor and how strengthening it will improve their well-being exponentially. Besides, she’s the creator of the Cooch Ball, the world’s first patented pelvic floor fitness tool for women. She also has some solutions for men, so you don’t want to miss out on her wisdom.Jana introduced me to a three-minute routine I now do daily to strengthen my pelvic floor. After listening to this episode, I’m sure you’ll start doing it too. “You can be rocking a six-pack. That does not mean that the rest of your core is strong, right? So understand that the pieces of the core, if they are not, you know, functionally working together, part of it can be functional, but part of it can be very dysfunctional.” —Jana DanielsonIn This Episode: Jana Danielson’s backgroundPilates as a tool for healingDefinition and function of the pelvic floorWhat happens when your pelvic floor is weak?Erectile dysfunction and its connection to the pelvic floorThe Gooch Ball and how it can help youWhy do we spend 20 hours a day sitting?Resources mentioned: Gooch Ball - https://goochball.com/Connect with Jana Danielson:The Cooch Ball Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thecoochball/Personal Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Jana.danielson/Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessSubscribe 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.Get it done - Funk

But even though we want to keep it under wraps, we need to own the fact that these things are happening to us. Most importantly, we need to learn how to solve them. Today’s guest, Dr. Cory Torgerson, is a leading Canadian plastic surgeon and the developer of The Big Shot, a revolutionary new treatment for erectile dysfunction and penile growth.

Building muscle is one of the things we struggle with as we get older. This happens because we start to suffer from sarcopenia, the natural muscle loss due to aging. So if we are not consistently in the gym (or at home) engaging in resistance training or building muscle, we will lose our muscles even faster. Unfortunately, the loss of muscle leads to many illnesses and ailments. Some of them are decreased bone density, elevated risk of falls, and slower recovery times. We need to know how to build muscle the right way, which is why I created Muscle Talks and invited coach Flex Marks to this section of the podcast. Coach Flex Marks really brings a different perspective and out-of-the-box training. When he trains people, he gets them results. In this episode, Flex explains his reverse pyramid training, also known as 5/4/3/2/1 training. IT BLEW ME AWAY when I first heard about it in one of our private Facebook groups. And he’s breaking it down for you today. Get ready to understand the philosophy, principles, and programming behind this shocking training. Flex gives you tips and tricks to start implementing it immediately. Take control of your destiny, one muscle at a time.

When it comes to naturally increasing your testosterone levels, alcohol is one of the first things you need to cut off. Alcohol increases estrogen, the female hormone. We need to have a little bit of estrogen in our blood, but too much of it causes belly fat storage and man boobs and keeps us counterbalanced. Sleep is essential, too, for the production of testosterone. This hormone is produced in the morning, but deep sleep is crucial. Since alcohol compromises the quality of your sleep, its consumption compromises your testosterone levels.Today’s guest, James Swanwick, is an expert in both alcohol and sleep.James Swanwick is a former SportsCenter anchor on ESPN, CEO and founder of Swanwick Sleep and Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, and host of the podcast Alcohol-Free Lifestyle. His teachings on sleep and alcohol have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur magazine, and Psychology Today.Swanwick Sleep makes stylish blue light-blocking glasses known as Swannies. These products help people avoid the harmful effects of exposure to blue light and improve their sleep quality.Besides, he’s the author of “The 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge”, a book that helps people let go of alcohol, even if they are only social drinkers, to take their performance from average to the highest level!As you can tell, I had enough reasons to bring James to the show. Tune in to discover amazing hacks you can utilize to quit alcohol for good, improve your sleep and feel even more SuperHuman. “If you’ve got those five pillars (fun, community, accountability, coaching, and skin in the game), you’ll stop drinking.

Eating a lot of fiber through vegetables, fruits, and nuts is an excellent component of your gut health. But sometimes, even though you eat balanced meals, you don’t get the fiber you need. So in this episode, we talk about some products that will help you take your health to the next level to get the nutrients you need. This is Part 2 of the episodes dedicated to gut health. In the previous episode, Dr. Chris Damman from Supergut explained the importance of gut health for the digestive system and overall well-being. This week, I have invited Marc Washington, the CEO of Supergut. We dive into what Supergut is, what its products offer to your body, and why all of us should be taking their shakes or bars. When I first heard about Marc’s background, I was blown away by all the incredible things he did. But I won’t tell you about it because I want you to listen to his story from the man himself. I know the supplements world. And when I learned about supplements like the ones offered by Supergut, I got very excited because I could see the passion behind what the company is doing and the focus on the consumer. Optimizing your gut is possible, and today you will learn one of the many ways to do it. “There’s no magic pill, there’s no overnight cure. It’s gotta be a habit.

Progressive overload is a fundamental training principle in strength training, muscle building, and athletic performance enhancement. Firstly, its base is that the human body adapts to stress. Therefore, to continually stimulate improvements in strength, muscle size, and endurance, you must progressively increase the stress on your muscles during exercise.Engaging in progressive overload ensures your body receives constant challenges, forcing it to adapt to higher stress levels. As a result, this adaptation process leads to increased muscle fiber recruitment and improved neural adaptations. Moreover, the adaptation process also generates physiological changes that contribute to greater strength, muscle growth and endurance.During this episode, I cover the many important aspects of this fundamental training principle. Implementing progressive overload will enhance your strength, muscle growth, and overall muscle performance. I hope this episode inspires you to try this fundamental training principle immediately. You won’t regret it. “Progressive overload is the science and the foundation of muscle growth and strength.” —Funk RobertsIn This Episode: How to find out your rate of perceived exertionConcept of progressive overload and its importance Benefits obtained thanks to this training principleThe science behind progressive overload, including General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) Breakdown of the 15 ways to implement this concept in your workouts Tips on incorporating progressive overload Resources: Join the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood for just $1 – click here to start todayConnect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessSubscribe 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.com

Hormones are chemical substances that coordinate several functions in the body. They deliver messages to cells, tissues, and organs so they can perform their regular operations. Besides, hormones control metabolism, growth and development, homeostasis, sexual function, reproduction, mood, and the sleep-wake cycle. Male hormones, including testosterone, play a significant role in a male’s reproductive and sexual health. Unlike female hormones, men’s hormones remain pretty steady from adolescence until far into their reproductive years. However, imbalances in male hormones still occur, which can negatively affect health and cause several disorders. Understanding how lifestyle factors influence hormone health can help reduce these imbalances. It’s important to realize that there are factors that influence male hormone health. Men often think that bodily changes, such as weight gain, body pain, and muscle stiffness, are part of aging. But most of these symptoms are usually caused by a hormone imbalance. Although aging naturally causes a change in male hormone levels, lifestyle factors often contribute to these changes. Moreover, these lifestyle factors can also affect testosterone levels in younger men. In this episode, I will focus on testosterone, as well as other hormones linked with its production. Besides, I will explain when is the only time you should embrace the dad body and why walking is not enough for training. Thank you for listening, have a good day, and get it done!“You need support because you can’t do this alone. As much as you think you can, you can’t. Open up for that support.

I know first-hand the effects of how drinking and not drinking can do to your body. In fact, I used to be a big partier in my early 40s. But I have not had a drop of alcohol in over 8 years. And that is not because of an addiction. It is because I saw what it was doing to my body, health, and testosterone levels.NOW I know first-hand how incredible it is NOT to have alcohol in my system and its effects on my health. For me, it actually started with a DRY January challenge. You may be asking: “Dry January? What the hell is that?.” Dry January started in 2013, and more than 4,300 people pledged not to drink alcohol for the month. And yes, “dry” means abstaining from alcohol for a month—no cheat days. In 2017, that number spiked to more than 5 million worldwide, and today it’s grown exponentially. Dry January participants claim that giving up drinking for one month can reverse the negative health impacts of regular drinking, like fatty liver disease and elevated blood sugar. They also champion that not drinking can improve sleep and enhance energy.In this episode, we will talk about how alcohol affects your testosterone levels and your weight loss journey. Hopefully you’ll learn a lot here. “If you drink a lot of beer, and you stop drinking that beer, I’m telling you - In 60 days, not only you are gonna feel better, but you are gonna look better and you are just gonna feel like a man.” —Funk Roberts In This Episode: New guidelines for alcohol consumption in Canada Positive effects of Dry JanuaryProblems associated with low levels of testosteroneRole of the pituitary gland in hormone release What estrogen does in your body High-levels of cortisol and drinking alcohol Consequences of drinking alcohol every dayHow to re-introduce alcohol after losing weight Resources: Join the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood for just $1 – click here to start todayConnect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessSubscribe 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.com

Exercise is one of the pillars alpha men live by. It's an essential part to add to your routine, not only to look fit but also to stay healthy and maintain your energy as you age. But, we don’t follow just any exercise that we see from training videos or the workouts we used to do when we were younger. There are specific workouts designed for men over 40 that need to be followed, religiously. Problem is, how do we know what kind of exercise is safe and effective for our age? Fret not, Funk has prepped up these 10 commandments to guide you and help you from falling into the wrong routines that not only are ineffective but may also even cause you injury and serious harm. “As we get older, we're losing strength and muscles. We have to keep moving because if we stop moving, it's going to be harder to get back from injuries. What keeps the pain down is working out and mobility. —Funk RobertsIn This Episode: Funk talks about the major pains men over 40 have to deal with as they get olderThe workouts you absolutely should NOT be doing as you get olderDiscover the type of workout that allows you to lose belly and visceral fats while it builds your muscle and promotes functional strengthHow long you should be doing cardioHow to protect your body from injuries during a workoutA critical aspect that men often miss in their workoutsEquipment used for strength building BUT is extremely dangerous to men over 40Workout programs recommended for over 40 alphaSpecific things you need to honor in your workout…and MORE!Resources: Join the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood for just $1 – click here to start todaySave 10% on all Supplements, Fitness Equipment, and Programs at Funk Supplements and Fitness Shop (Use the discount code: PODCAST10) – www.funksupplements.comConnect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessSubscribe 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.com

Let's admit it. The alpha men need help. Yes, there's the mindset, nutrition, exercise, recovery, and sleep, but sometimes, there's also the supplementation.

Dr. Stephen Anton is a Professor and Chief of Clinical Research in the Department of Aging and Geriatric Research at the University of Florida.

As we get older, our bodies require special types of training that can address prevailing health concerns that are more evident in the 40s to 60s and above bracket. The best one that tops my list when it comes to training for men over 40 is kettlebell training.

Doing this type of training is not an easy feat though, it requires guidance from a certified trainer to make sure you’re doing it properly without putting your body at risk of injury. Join me for another episode of Over 40 Alpha as I demonstrate some of my favorite techniques, the best types of kettlebells I recommend, and how to “respect” and connect yourself with the kettlebell.“With kettlebell training, especially as we get older, it's probably the best for us because there are so many benefits that roll over to our everyday life and roll over to longevity.” —Funk RobertsIn This Episode: Funk shares the story that started his 15 years of kettlebell journey as a Certified Kettlebell Training Specialist“Kettlebell is a skill and with every skill, there is a drill.” Here are the drills you need to master to reap the 9 benefits of kettlebell trainingTop reasons why you should train with kettlebells and what makes the kettlebell powerfulThese are the struggles men are facing as they get older and how kettlebell training can help themThis exercise boosts testosterone, promotes fat loss and increases Growth Hormones in just 12 minutesCheck out these common kettlebell training mistakes that lead to serious injuries, and who to reach out to if you want to do it rightLearn how kettlebell training positively impacts your testosterone and growth hormone levelsResources: Fitness Program: Join over 15,000 men in my Over 40 Alpha Workout, Nutrition and Program for just $1 and start building your foundation for amazing health – click here to start todayKettlebell Spartan Online Workshop and Course for Beginners – https://over40shred.com/KBWorkshopDo You Need Kettlebells?

When we talk about men’s health, we readily conclude it’s the current state of their physical, mental, and emotional conditions. But there’s a very important aspect that is not so openly explored, which is their sexual health.

Funk is joined by another alpha in his field, Dr. Tracy Gapin, to share his expertise on how alpha males can achieve optimum health. He explains why a comprehensive approach is necessary to achieve high performance and address erectile dysfunction for the long term. “There are lots of potential causes of ED and TESTOSTERONE can play a BIG part there.

We often hear people say, “ignorance is bliss,” or “what you don’t know can’t hurt you”. But when it comes to ignorance about the role of testosterone in men, that is an entirely different story. As a matter of fact, it can be such a tragic story because, without testosterone, men can never be who they wish to become.

We’re always putting a lot of stress on the T-word in previous episodes, but we never seem to get the emphasis across - or at least, not as strong as we need to. To all the men out there, especially those who are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, your TESTOSTERONE is KEY if you want to keep on being the ALPHA male that you are. If you want to live on with your mental, emotional, and physical health in tip-top shape, you need to keep that testosterone level from declining. To do that, you have to recognize the early signs that tell you when it’s in a normal ratio against your estrogen level or when it’s critically low. Listen in to find out what those signs are and what you can do to naturally reverse the numbers before they start becoming a threat to your manhood.“Testosterone means you are going to be the man you were put on this earth to be: to provide, to protect, to procreate.” —Funk RobertsIn This Episode: - Uncover the reason that’s keeping you from hitting your weight goals despite all the efforts you’re putting in with your workout.- Why testosterone earned a terrible reputation this 2021 and the truth that men have to pay attention to, instead.- Adverse effects of low testosterone levels that are causing men who are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s to feel helpless and less of a man.- The kind of diet and lifestyle recommended for the alpha male to naturally increase their testosterone levels.- Understand the role of aromatase in the decline of testosterone levels and how aromatase inhibitors are activated to suppress this decline. - Bonus: A phenomenal event happening on November 16 that is sure to get the alpha brotherhood reeling with excitement!Subscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channelwww.over40alphapodcast.comResources: - Join over 5000 men in the Over 40 Alpha Workout and Nutrition Program for just $1 and start building your foundation for amazing health - https://www.over40alpha.com/over-40-alpha-short-sales-page1600540776041#row-163 Connect with Funk Roberts: - Website - https://www.over40alpha.com - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/funkrobertsfitness/- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitness/- Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/FunkRoberts

So happy to have Professor Mike Bidwell of www.BJJafter40.com talk with me about BJJ for men in their 40s, 50s and even 60s.It doesn’t matter if you’re 20 or 40.... The best is yet to come...(or the worst awaits) It starts by creating a sustainable BJJ / Martial Arts practice that serves YOU. That means addressing your mental, emotional and physical needs on and off the mats. Creating a ‘sustainable’ path means that whatever you do in the present moment must outlive this moment. In other words, if you train real hard today you need to be able to walk tomorrow. That means building a training regime that enhances your physical and mental life.... NOT destroying it. Train smart today and best you awaits!

The Surefire Way To Achieving Your GoalsThis is for those that want to break through to the next level!Goals are the backbone of any successful effort, be it your career, your education, financial goals, martial arts training and physical well being like losing weight and improving your overall fitness.

In this episode I chat with Chad Howse who is the author of the Book Man Diet, and Lost Art of Discipline and who is on a mission to help men become Alpha in this soft society that we live in.Man Diet - https://www.themandietbook.com/the-man-diet-bookdu06itf4?affiliate_id=1453844Lost Art Of Discipline - http://www.thelostartofdiscipline.com/discipline?affiliate_id=1453844Chad's the author of the Man Diet and The Lost Art of Discipline, and the founder of Average2Alpha.com. Through his books and courses he helps guys create optimal testosterone levels, and live better, stronger, more successful lives. You, like I, are on a mission to create something indelible. We’re not here for mediocrity. We’re not trying to blend in; to be amongst the crowd. We aren’t concerned with being average, with creating average lives, taking the easy path, or building average bodies.Manliness has taken a sharp turn within the last few decades. Before this turn it was what it is supposed to be, true to its nature, innate, earned, won through persisting with honor.Is this turn the result of a society so corrupted by ease that it forgets what brought about such prosperity and innovation?Manliness has always been clear. We knew what a man was. We knew it wasn’t something won by birth but earned. It has been earned by the man who claims responsibility, both for himself and his tribe, and carries their load successfully with honor.Honor, today, is far more rare than it’s ever been because the values and virtues we once prized and depended on are now being swept away by a tidal wave of the weak, the ignorant, and the vain.In this episode you will learn the hard-won virtues of manliness that bore great and free nations across the world.
