One day, you forget where you put your keys. Next, you're walking into a room and can’t remember why. And maybe the worst part? You start to wonder if this is just part of getting older.But what if it’s not?In this episode, Dr. Josh Helman explains why brain fog, forgetfulness, and mental fatigue hit harder after 40 and what you can do to fight back.He’s not just an MD. Dr. Josh is a Harvard-trained biochemist and emergency medicine physician who now helps people reverse Alzheimer’s and reclaim their mental clarity. His message? It’s not too late. And the decline isn’t inevitable.We talk about why your sleep quality, not just the number of hours, quietly shapes your brain’s future. We get into the sneaky role of inflammation and gut health, why environmental toxins are slowly hijacking our minds, and the powerful but often overlooked link between stress and dementia risk.And Dr. Josh doesn’t stop at theory. He gives you the exact supplements he recommends (including creatine), the detox routines that actually work, and why donating blood might just save your brain.Whether you’re worried about your own cognitive health or caring for a parent who’s slipping, this episode is your action plan.Because aging doesn’t mean losing who you are.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction05:23 - Dr. Josh's background and journey to brain health06:30 - What is Alzheimer's, and why is it reversible?11:01 - How sleep quality impacts brain health15:54 - Exercise and its connection to brain function18:11 - Nutrition for brain health and the gut-brain connection22:17 - Stress management for cognitive performance29:53 - Environmental toxins and cognitive decline32:38 - DDT and its lingering impact on brain health35:35 - How to detoxify your brain and body41:46 - Early warning signs of cognitive decline44:14 - Dr. Josh’s process for reversing Alzheimer’s49:02 - The importance of reducing medications50:34 - Top brain-boosting supplements56:08 - Final thoughts on reclaiming brain health💥 Want to reclaim your energy, memory, and mental sharpness after 40?🧠 JOIN THE TRIBE 🧠Inside the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood, you’ll get:- Follow-along workouts to boost testosterone and sharpen focus- Anti-inflammatory meal plans designed for men over 40- Weekly live coaching with Funk + expert guests- Brain-boosting tools and recovery strategies that actually work👉 Start your 30-day trial for just $1: www.over40alpha.com 🧬 Supplements Mentioned in This Episode:- Creatine Monohydrate (not just for muscle—helps brain recovery too)- Glutathione (your body’s master detoxifier)- Lion’s Mane Mushroom (stimulates new brain growth)- NMN (precursor to NAD for energy and longevity)- Nitric Oxide Boosters (for blood flow and cognitive support)- Omega-3s from Algae (anti-inflammatory brain food)- Honokiol (supports plaque removal from the brain)🚨 LIMITED-TIME OFFER! 🚨 Alpha Max Test 3D Plus is back—better, stronger, and in high demand.

Think 10,000 steps is just a fad? It might be the key to shedding stubborn fat and enhancing vitality for men over 40. Walking combats sedentary habits, reduces chronic disease risk, and boosts recovery without the need for intensive workouts. Discover how a simple daily routine can improve metabolic health and testosterone levels. Learn about the origins of this magic number, the science behind step counts, and practical ways to integrate walking into your daily life for lasting health benefits.

Low energy, stubborn belly fat, weak workouts, poor sleep, no sex drive? That’s not normal. It’s low testosterone, and it’s a silent epidemic affecting millions of men, especially over 40.In this episode, I’m breaking down the 10 Commandments of Naturally Increasing Testosterone—the exact framework I’ve used to help thousands of men inside the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood reclaim their strength, their confidence, and their manhood.We’re not talking about TRT, steroids, or any quick-fix BS. This is all about dialing in your lifestyle, so your body starts producing more testosterone naturally, the way it was always meant to.I’m going to show you why belly fat is your enemy, how poor sleep crushes your hormones, what kind of training actually boosts your T, and why most guys are unknowingly flooding their bodies with estrogenic toxins. We’ll also talk about porn, alcohol, junk food, and the weak habits that are straight-up sabotaging your masculinity.These 10 commandments aren’t just tips. They’re non-negotiables. And when you lock them in, you’ll not only increase your testosterone, but you’ll feel more alive, more powerful, and more you than you’ve felt in years.Let’s get after it.Timestamps:01:54 - The real epidemic06:20 - The Alpha Zone: What optimal testosterone looks like07:26 - Carl’s transformation story at 4710:44 - Commandment #1: Thou shalt lift weights (the RIGHT way)17:20 - Commandment #2: Prioritize deep sleep for testosterone production23:05 - Commandment #3: Master your nutrition with balanced meals27:43 - Commandment #4: Eliminate belly fat 31:02 - Commandment #5: Crush chronic stress with proven daily habits37:11 - Commandment #6: Ditch estrogenic toxins (and reclaim your hormones)39:12 - Commandment #7: Move daily beyond workouts40:37 - Commandment #8: Supplement wisely43:37 - Commandment #9: Fuel the Alpha mindset46:47 - Commandment #10: Thou shalt reject all low T lifestyle choices🚨 READY TO LEVEL UP? 🚨Join the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood for just $1 and get 30 days of workouts, nutrition plans, recovery protocols, and weekly coaching to jumpstart your testosterone and transform your body. 👉 https://www.over40alpha.com🚨 LIMITED-TIME OFFER! 🚨🔥 Supplement Like an AlphaGet Funk’s all-in-one testosterone booster Alpha Max Test 3D Plus—now stronger than ever.

You don’t wake up 300 pounds overnight. But one day, you walk into a store, try on a triple XL shirt… and it doesn’t fit. That was James Rice’s moment. The moment he realized his health had quietly spiraled out of control.But what followed wasn’t just a weight loss journey—it was a complete reinvention.In this episode, James opens up about what really led to his transformation at 52 years old. A career-ending injury. Divorce. Losing his business. Facing down diabetes. And the hardest part? Admitting he needed help.James went from nearly 300 pounds to stepping on stage at 150 pounds, shredded, and winning a national transformation contest affiliated with Arnold Schwarzenegger. But what made his story powerful wasn’t just the fat loss. It was what he gained along the way: energy, purpose, confidence, and a reason to lead others.We talk about the raw realities of starting over in midlife, setting new boundaries, breaking a sugar addiction, and how becoming “selfish” with your health might be the most selfless thing you can do for your family.This one hits deep, especially for guys who think it’s too late to turn things around.James proves it never is.Timestamps:08:05 - Childhood, sugar, and the slow creep of weight gain10:18 - The knee injury that became an excuse13:18 - Life at 23-4016:41 - Setting boundaries with work, family, and health22:10 - The Miami Beach wake-up call and a shirt that didn’t fit28:10 - The sugar detox nightmare and early struggles35:07 - What the first 12 weeks of workouts really looked like38:50 - From gym member to bodybuilding competitor40:46 - How he lost weight during COVID46:14 - Competition day and the supportive community52:12 - Meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger and finding purpose56:17 - The importance of community in transformation1:01:06 - James's books: "Transform Yourself" and "The 100 Pound War"💪 Want to lose 100 pounds—or just feel like yourself again?🚨 JOIN THE TRIBE 🚨You don’t need to figure it out alone.Join the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood and get:- Follow-along workouts for men in your 40s, 50s, and 60s- Easy, no-BS nutrition plans- Weekly coaching calls + private Facebook community- Mental health tools, mobility routines, and real accountability👉 Start your transformation for just $1: www.over40alpha.com 📚 James’ Books:- Transform Yourself: A Pump Club Story – How a regular guy stepped on stage after losing 100 pounds- The 100 Pound War – Lessons, mindset shifts, and raw reflections for anyone trying to take their life back🚨 LIMITED-TIME OFFER! 🚨 Alpha Max Test 3D Plus is back—better, stronger, and in high demand.
