Questions:
Senior Fitness?
Gwyneth says:
I'm binge watching, listening, taking notes on all the Robb Wolf I can while waiting on your books to arrive. (Sacred Cow arrived, midway through it) I'll be 70 in 6 months and am wanting to learn the best approach to making changes in my gut health via nutrition that isn't bullshit-based (like fasting), strength training to build muscle and strengthen my bones. Oh, I'm overweight as well, have some arthritis, sciatica and other run-of-mill age related breakdowns. Where do I start with strength training? I hesitate going to gyms and trying to find a personal trainer who I can trust. I have followed HasFit for a while now and recently found Balanced Home Fitness which is right up my alley as they offer beginner workouts with a huge variety.
All I want to do is 'move some dirt'.
Thoughts & ideas?
Thanks!
Tofu effect on testosterone
Charlie says:
Hi Robb and Nicki!
I recently moved to Asia for work and I've been eating a lot of tofu here. The rest of my diet is mostly unchanged with a lot of meat, fish, and eggs.
There are studies saying the phytoestrogens in tofu lowers testosterone, but there are also some saying it has no effect.
I'm not sure what to believe.
How much would you avoid eating it, if at all?
Thank you!

Hi Robb, I met you in person at my CrossFit cert. in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on September 14th, 2008 when I was 29 years old.
We talked about how may eating habits were ok and suggested I follow the CrossFit meal plan.
It worked well for me up until 2017(38 yo). I'm turning 43 now and I have started to gain unwanted weight. I have slowed down on CrossFit training due to injuries but still continue to train athletically 3 days a week (2 lifting days- 1 swimming/cycling day) and still eat relatively clean however, being Italian I like my pasta and bread, especially when I visit my parents.
Should I still be following the crossfit meal plan?
How do I get my body back to a relatively lean state without training so hard?
Should Intermittent fasting be something I should start doing?
I appreciate your time and experience.
Thank you
