After years of thinking that low energy, low libido, joint pain, and lackluster performance in the gym were just a part of the natural aging process, Adam didn’t realize that his hormone health was suboptimal and sabotaging his health and happiness.  His personal experience offers a unique point of view to holistic health and mindset that we are going to unpack in today’s show.  Through his work with Blokes Men’s Health and Joi Women’s Wellness, Adam is at the forefront of empowering individuals to take control of their health journey. He is passionate about helping others to understand the importance of hormone health and how it can impact every aspect of their lives. From energy levels to mood and performance, optimizing hormone balance can lead to profound transformations in overall well-being.   Here are some of the thing we talked about in today’s podcast:    Hormonal health is crucial for energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. Functional medicine takes a more comprehensive approach to hormone testing and treatment compared to traditional medicine. Nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle factors play a significant role in maintaining hormonal balance. Peptides like BPC 157 can be effective for joint pain and recovery. Peptide therapy can be an effective tool for joint recovery and repair, especially when combined with nutrition, cold exposure, contrast therapy, and sleep. Education and awareness are key in understanding the benefits of peptide therapy and overcoming the stigma associated with low testosterone in men. Understanding one's own body through diagnostic lab reports is essential for identifying deficiencies and taking targeted steps to improve hormonal health. Improving hormonal health can have a significant positive impact on energy levels, libido, and overall well-being, allowing individuals to show up as their best selves in relationships and other areas of life.   Today’s podcast is sponsored by my BKF Online Group Coaching Program  https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online     (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/   (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553118971640   (Associated websites) https://blokes.co/   https://choosejoi.co/ (Twitter/X) https://x.com/admandew   (Social media post on Hormone health-@getblokes) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/reel/C3OTUktuEgO/   (Social media post on Hormone levels) https://www.instagram.com/admandew/reel/Cz4jjxVuqQh/

Consuming highly processed foods can have disadvantages, such as impacting energy levels and nutrient intake, and it's crucial to prioritize whole foods and nutrient-dense options. Online nutrition information can contribute to health anxieties and misinformation, and it's important to critically evaluate sources and seek evidence-based guidance from qualified professionals.  Navigating nutrition information online can be challenging due to conflicting advice and unregulated sources. Understanding head, heart, and stomach hunger can help in making mindful food choices. Fasting may have different implications for women, and individual context should be considered. The power of food for skin health lies in nourishment and what is added to the diet. Approaching nutrition from a perspective of addition and abundance is more beneficial than focusing on subtraction and scarcity.   Today’s podcast is sponsored by my BKF Online Program:  https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online   (Website) http://nicsnutrition.com/   (Twitter / X) https://x.com/nicsnutrition   (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/nicsnutrition/   (Youtube) https://www.youtube.com/nicsnutrition   Her new book:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Not-Eat-Ultra-Processed-life-changing/dp/1529940117/ref=asc_df_1529940117/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697364111492&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15625223310232723756&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007864&hvtargid=pla-2332339303124&psc=1&mcid=0e105306ee49367ca7628c893e36e8cf&th=1&psc=1&gad_source=1

You can view my TEDx Talk regarding the challenge" Scott H.Young.  I’m currently learning Spanish (a mental challenge) and Muay Thai (a physical challenge) so this episode will be great for anyone looking to learn a skill; and the framework Scott created to do so.    Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:  How building permanent habits requires understanding the carrying cost and reducing the effort required to sustain them. The role motivation plays in pursuing difficult goals, and reducing friction can help sustain motivation. The misconception around traditional learning styles and why it has little evidence to support it. The secret with desirable difficulties, such as variable practice and retrieval practice; and how it can enhance learning and memory retention. Unlearning old skills and techniques may be necessary when learning something new. The principles of retrieval and retention in Ultra Learning have been particularly impactful for readers. Invest time in meta-learning before starting a new skill or subject. Why you need to expose yourself to your fears to overcome them and reduce anxiety.

  Solo mindset podcast You’re better to be at the bottom of the ladder against the right wall than halfway up the ladder against the wrong wall.  01:43 Comparison is a never-ending hamster wheel and it will spin out of control if you let it. 13:09 If you’re tired, learn to rest, not to quit. 28:55 If your reaction is hysterical, it's possibly historical. 36:54 What’s meant for you won’t pass you (even if it doesn’t feel like that at the time) and what didn’t work out, possibly did if you give it enough time. 44:11 Just be nicer to yourself, life is hard enough at the best of times, and beating yourself up rarely helps.  50:08 You can’t control anything that happens to you, but you can control how you react to it. 55:58   Today’s podcast is sponsored by my business mentorship and coaching program: https://briankeanefitness.com/mentorship-and-business-coaching     BKF Online Coaching Program:  https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online
