And so it's going to look like—giving your body the calories it actually needs, when you go to the gym, being there with intent and focus, not just dilly-dallying and lifting the five-pound dumbbells, but challenging yourself for that one hour a day, three days a week, prioritizing your sleep just like you told your kids to, and then doing that over and over again." – Joe Hoye "People should train bulk because different rep ranges are going to serve different purposes. Two things we do know is that as women enter midlife, their bone density is decreasing and their muscle mass is going away. And so lifting heavy with low reps is certainly going to tell your bones to stay strong. That's going to help you stay functional and safe as you age." – Joe Hoye   Links Mentioned: FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Midlife Makeover Summit: https://hoyefit.com/pages/midlifemakeoverregistration Enter to win 6 months of free fitness coaching!

Can you change the adult brain? Join Dr. Tommy Wood, as we delve deep into the nuances of cognitive health and the preservation of neurological vigor during the aging process. Dr. Wood challenges the prevailing notion that cognitive decline is an inevitable consequence of growing older, thanks to the remarkable adaptability of the adult brain. Comparing neuromuscular and cognitive development, we’ll talk about how the brain thrives on challenges or skill development like reading or dancing. We’ll also touch on the importance of comprehensive blood testing in assessing and maintaining neurological health, emphasizing the critical role of biomarkers such as HbA1c, iron status, vitamin D levels, homocysteine, and omega-3 index.

The way that we develop the brain in the first place is by trying things out. And that could be language skills, motor skills, social skills, and it's that effort and failure to learn new things that really drives and crafts the brain. But we stopped doing that as adults. So it's not that we can't do it, it's usually just that we don't do it.” -Dr. Tommy Wood    “You don't need to do everything so you can kind of focus on something that you really enjoy, and it's beneficial to you because each of those are actually ticking multiple boxes at the same time. Just start with one of those broad skills that we know uses large, numerous parts of the brain and start there, hopefully something that you enjoy as well, because then you're more likely to stick with it.” -Dr. Tommy Wood    About Dr. Tommy Wood, BM BCh, PhD: Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist, elite-level professional nerd, and performance consultant to world-class athletes in a dozen sports.

So, in a lot of cases, what we want is for those streams to be modulated. We want to make sure that they do the right thing, but they're not overly expressing themselves." – Betty Murray   "The lack of symptoms doesn't mean that there's not a problem. And that the simple fact is when we lose our hormones, we go through a significant period of change.
