The Over 40 Alpha Podcast

Part of the changes that happen to men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s is the struggle for a speedy recovery. Our bodies are not as responsive as they used to be when we were younger but that doesn't mean we can no longer optimize our recovery process. In this episode, I’ll be sharing my coaching call with the brotherhood to give you a glimpse of the things you can do to speed up recovery, even when you are in your 40s and beyond. I’ll talk about the importance of giving yourself some recovery days and the things you can do to stay active while recovering. If you’re in need of tips and strategies to help you win back your health and strength the fastest way possible, there are plenty of things on my list that you can try and all you need to do is pick which one sounds more doable and more suitable to your lifestyle. “Bad nutrition leads to inflammation.

As we get older, our bodies require special types of training that can address prevailing health concerns that are more evident in the 40s to 60s and above bracket. The best one that tops my list when it comes to training for men over 40 is kettlebell training. It has proven to be beneficial to muscle building, endurance training, and boosting the male hormones, particularly testosterone. Doing this type of training is not an easy feat though, it requires guidance from a certified trainer to make sure you’re doing it properly without putting your body at risk of injury. Join me for another episode of Over 40 Alpha as I demonstrate some of my favorite techniques, the best types of kettlebells I recommend, and how to “respect” and connect yourself with the kettlebell.“With kettlebell training, especially as we get older, it's probably the best for us because there are so many benefits that roll over to our everyday life and roll over to longevity.” —Funk RobertsIn This Episode: Funk shares the story that started his 15 years of kettlebell journey as a Certified Kettlebell Training Specialist“Kettlebell is a skill and with every skill, there is a drill.” Here are the drills you need to master to reap the 9 benefits of kettlebell trainingTop reasons why you should train with kettlebells and what makes the kettlebell powerfulThese are the struggles men are facing as they get older and how kettlebell training can help themThis exercise boosts testosterone, promotes fat loss and increases Growth Hormones in just 12 minutesCheck out these common kettlebell training mistakes that lead to serious injuries, and who to reach out to if you want to do it rightLearn how kettlebell training positively impacts your testosterone and growth hormone levelsResources: Fitness Program: Join over 15,000 men in my Over 40 Alpha Workout, Nutrition and Program for just $1 and start building your foundation for amazing health – click here to start todayKettlebell Spartan Online Workshop and Course for Beginners – https://over40shred.com/KBWorkshopDo You Need Kettlebells?

Are you ready for the next generation in weight loss? The Over 40 Alpha’s secret is out! In this episode, Funk talks about the HUGE role that hormones play in weight and fat loss. For them, it’s not the hyped restrictive diets that are too stressful that work but the religious tuning into the body’s hormonal levels and following a diet that listens to the body’s needs in specific circumstances.

Here’s another alpha episode that I wish to share with the brotherhood. It’s a classic story we all can relate to because, at one point in time, we’ve been through it and overcame it. Joining me is one of our brothers, Paul Proctor, who’ll be sharing an alpha success story that is close to my heart. It’s his story of redemption and survival, a story of losing hope in life and faith in himself, and the journey he has taken to find them again. It’s a story of courage and strength, of starting over and coming out better, wiser, and stronger like a typical alpha should. At the end of this episode, you’ll come to realize that, truly, what didn’t kill you will only make you stronger.“I never trained at a gym to look good, I always trained in the gym for a reason.” —Paul ProctorIn This Episode: - Behind every championship is an athlete who struggled, who trained hard, and sacrificed so much just to bring honor.

When we talk about men’s health, we readily conclude it’s the current state of their physical, mental, and emotional conditions. But there’s a very important aspect that is not so openly explored, which is their sexual health. It’s a physical condition by nature, but it also governs the alpha male’s mental and emotional wellbeing. Funk is joined by another alpha in his field, Dr. Tracy Gapin, to share his expertise on how alpha males can achieve optimum health. He explains why a comprehensive approach is necessary to achieve high performance and address erectile dysfunction for the long term. “There are lots of potential causes of ED and TESTOSTERONE can play a BIG part there. You need healthy, optimal hormone levels to achieve a good erection.” —Dr. Tracy GapinIn This Episode: -Explore the 2 different approaches in addressing erectile dysfunction and find out which approach is more beneficial to the alpha male.-Understand how erectile dysfunction can impact men’s overall health and how the proactive, comprehensive approach can improve sexual performance and sexual health.-Dr. Gapin explains what erectile dysfunction is all about and cites the importance of “treating with intention” and “diving deep into the roots,” especially where testosterone is involved. -Get to know the different treatments and tools available today that can give speedy solutions to sexual problems and why these technologies only work for the short term.-Find out why “we are all guinea pigs” and how we can apply the N1 performance health into the core of how we work out our health issues.Resources: -Join over 5000 men in the Over 40 Alpha Workout and Nutrition Program for just $1 and start building your foundation for amazing health - https://www.over40alpha.com/over-40-alpha-short-sales-page1600540776041#row-163-Men’s Precision Medicine - https://gapininstitute.com/-N1 Performance Health Approach - https://gapininstitute.com/individual/-Exclusive offer to Funk’s Listeners: text HEALTH to 26786 to avail of these FREE gifts:a FREE copy of Dr. Gapin’s ‘10 Secrets to Men’s High-Performance Health’a FREE digital copy of Dr. Gapin’s bestselling book MALE 2.0 that dives deeper into some of the cutting-edge strategies on high performancean exclusive link to book a complimentary discovery call with Dr. Gapin’s medical team to discuss the brotherhood’s health challenges and goalsSubscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favorite Podcast Channelhttps://over40alphapodcast.com/episode-80-dr-tracy-gapin-erectile-dysfunction-and-how-to-bio-hack-male-sexual-performance/Connect with Dr. Tracy Gapin:-Website - https://drtracygapin.com/-LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracygapin/-Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/drtracygapin/-Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drtracygapin/-Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ8U-xLrHqccWvnVYU2Ci_A/-Twitter - https://twitter.com/DrGapinConnect with Funk Roberts: -Website - https://www.over40alpha.com -Podcast Blog- https://over40alphapodcast.com/episode-80-dr-tracy-gapin-erectile-dysfunction-and-how-to-bio-hack-male-sexual-performance/-Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/funkrobertsfitness/-Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitness/-Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/FunkRoberts
