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. Although millions of new cases are diagnosed yearly, particularly in those over 45, the condition is often reversible with lifestyle changes.&nbsp;In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the severe health risks associated with untreated diabetes and the need not only to understand and manage diabetes but also to take proactive steps to reverse it by adopting healthier habits. I’ll share my journey of helping my father control the condition, which has led to significant improvements in blood sugar levels.Additionally, we’ll discuss three common dietary mistakes many people with diabetes make and the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management, and sufficient sleep, in controlling blood sugar levels.&nbsp;If you or someone you know is dealing with type 2 diabetes, listen to the episode and check out our diabetes program to learn how you can potentially reverse diabetes rather than just manage it.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to the podcast and coaching call06:31 How I helped my father take control of his diabetes17:15 What is type 2 diabetes?22:53 How diabetes develops: the role of blood glucose27:31 The complexity of glucose regulation30:18 Why we should eat carbs after a workout33:40 How a healthy lifestyle helps in blood sugar regulation37:27 Symptoms and risks of type 2 diabetes44:24 Common mistakes in diabetes management50:20 Animal protein helps regulate blood sugar1:00:39 The risks of eating "naked carbs"1:05:16 Managing diabetes through diet1:12:41 Healthy carbs and fats for diabetics1:15:58 Portion control and meal planning1:18:12 Supplements and lifestyle changesResources Mentioned in the Episode:Over 40 Alpha Podcast Episode 142: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/episode-142-reversing-insulin-resistance-for-optimal/id1446632685?i=1000659092041Over 40 Diabetes Solution:https://over40shred.com/diabetesSubscribe and Listen on iTunes:&nbsp;https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685&nbsp;Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channel:www.over40alphapodcast.comYour support of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast helps to spread the word and ultimately change the lives of men worldwide over 40, 50, and 60 who struggle with health and fitness.I want to give a MASSIVE thanks to everyone stepping up and leaving 5-star reviews.Please Review and Share the Podcast Here:&nbsp;Drop that 5-star review.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685Connect with Funk Roberts:&nbsp;Website - &nbsp;https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram -<a...

The Lancet Commission on Prostate Cancer projects that annual global cases will double from 1.4 million in 2020 to 2.9 million by 2040. Additionally, annual deaths from prostate cancer are projected to increase by 85%—from 375,000 in 2020 to nearly 700,000 by 2040.These statistics are part of the reason why I did a coaching call in the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood specifically addressing prostate cancer.

Most of us understand that nutrition is a critical pillar of health and wellness. But sometimes, despite our efforts to eat a balanced diet daily, we still have dietary deficiencies, partly because food quality has changed over the years. Nutritional supplements help us compensate for the deficiencies and improve our overall health. So, today, I'm going to take you behind the scenes of one of our coaching calls, where I talked about the top 10 to 15 supplements for men over 40, why you need them, and how to use them for the best results.We talked about the role of supplements like creatine, whey protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3 and K2, magnesium, zinc, HMB, probiotics, CoQ10, Vitamin B12, ashwagandha, and saw palmetto in combating age-related muscle loss, promoting gut health, supporting hormonal balance, boosting testosterone, and improving mental, prostate, and overall health. I also emphasized the importance of sleep in maintaining health and suggested a six-week challenge to enhance sleep quality.

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.

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]?

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?Two different types of motivationHow to find your inner motivationThe connection between motivation, discipline, and habitsHow to become disciplined in nutritionWhy you shouldn’t focus on the scale to track your progressWhat to do once you reach your fitness goalsResources mentioned: - Previous episode about why you struggle with consistency (it’s connected with today’s topic) - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/episode-115-1-reason-why-you-struggle-to-stay-motivated/id1446632685?i=1000624226271 Subscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channe lwww.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/id1446632685Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram -<a href="https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitness/"...

It's about eating when you truly feel hungry and then stopping when satisfied.Intuitive eating also means choosing foods that make you feel good and energized instead of bloated, tired, or regretful afterward.It sounds so simple. But where do you start? How can you trust that your body knows what it needs? How do you tap into your body's cues?Today's episode is your road map.

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 - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/datingadvicedaily/"...

Getting rid of that stubborn belly fat is simple. Whether it's the last little bit of fat you need to get rid of or if you're "skinny fat" or obese, you can do it. 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?

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...

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.

If you want to naturally increase 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 importanceBenefits 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 workoutsTips on incorporating progressive overloadResources: 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.
