Journalist Stephen Armstrong, known for his insights on Generation X, shares his expertise on the unique challenges faced by Gen X men as they navigate midlife.

Send us a textToday we’re talking hormones, strength, and sustainable energy for midlife guys - with James.Six months ago James' bloodwork flagged borderline-low testosterone. He felt it too - sluggish mornings, stubborn belly-fat, zero motivation in the gym. Rather than jump straight to injections, he decided to run a personal experiment. Fast-forward to his latest lab results: his total T is up by almost 50 percent.So in this short episode James breaks down the exact six-pillar protocol that moved the needle: dialling-in sleep, lifting heavy, fuelling with the right fats and micros, trimming body-fat, taming stress, and clearing out everyday hormone disruptors. Each pillar comes with one action you can start today—no matter your schedule or budget.Quick caveat before we dive in: James is not a doctor, and this podcast is not medical advice. It’s based on his personal experience.Ready to turn the dial up on strength, focus, and drive? Grab your coffee—or maybe a glass of water—hit that ‘Do Not Disturb’ button, and let’s get into it!”If you’d like to join James' transformational in-person workshop for midlife men in central London in May where he’ll be covering this (plus a lot more) check out: jamespdavis.com/jumpsstart Support the showPlease remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.
