Insulin controlled living is the biggest topic in fitness, nutrition and optimization right now. What are the dangers associated with not keeping your insulin intake under control? What is the biggest mistake most intermittent fasters make when it comes to training? How are people wasting massive amounts of time at the gym? On this episode, Alexander Juan Antonio Cortes is here to share high-value wisdom on getting the most out of your workouts, and dialing in your insulin. If you want to have average health, have average health. If you want to have optimal health, you’re going to have to sacrifice something and/or go without it for sometime. -Alexander Juan Antonio Cortes Takeaways Insulin sensitivity is high in the morning and worse at the end of the day. There’s so many angles that a muscle can work against gravity, if you know those angles you know how to train those muscles. Where most intermittent fasters go wrong is training fasted. You adapt exercises to suit a person, you don’t try to make someone s

Outside of the UK, it’s pretty brutal for men to get hormonally optimized, and to even look into age management. What is the best way to go about getting the right help with TRT? Why is building muscle such a critical part of being healthy? Why does TRT work best when you’re actually exercising and taking good care of yourself? On this episode, we are joined by Michael Kocsis who shares on these topics, and on the work he’s doing. You cannot see the benefits of hormone optimization if you don’t engage in some form of exercise. -Michael Kocsis Takeaways There’s nothing greater than muscle to stop the aging diseases. The average guy has convinced himself that he can’t afford TRT but he can. You shouldn’t be going to the doctor under the age of 25 unless you have a serious health issue.

We also discussed why muscle is the greates

Most intermittent fasting gurus don’t know anything about training. What are the keys to training and fasting? What are the main benefits of the metabolic blowtorch diet? How does it impact your body’s disease resistance and give you better results? On this episode, Daniel Kelly’s back to share on his work on the Metabolic Blowtorch Diet, changing perspectives on testosterone and why being leaner is the secret to health. Some diet programs are so focused on actual weight at the expense of skeletal muscle mass. -Daniel Kelly Takeaways The question isn’t whether your testosterone is going to be lowered, it’s what you’re going to do about it. You deserve carbs after you train hard with weights. Average people who did alternate fasting lost 12,6 pounds of body fat and lost 0 skeletal muscle. You can fast two or three times a week and on the day you don’t fast, you train, lift weights and eat more carbs. At the start of the show, we talked about the decline of sperm production around the world, and how that is a

Preventative medicine is always a rearview mirror practice. What are things we have learned about aging and hormones? What are the necessary tests needed to determine how optimized your health is? Why is it beneficial to stop being controlled by food? On this episode we are joined by the great Dr. Ted Achacoso, who provides valuable insights on these matters. Medicine taught us that hormones decline because we age, but we actually age because hormones decline. -Dr. Ted Achacoso Takeaways Illness medicine diagnoses and treats disease, health optimization medicine detects and corrects imbalances. The most common cause of falls in adults is sarcopenia or lack of muscle tissue. If you can’t really control what you eat, control the time that you eat. All food and caloric intake should be determined based on activity level, insulin sensitivity and body fat. At the start of the show, we talked about what conventional medicine got wrong about aging. Next, we talked about the tests Dr. Ted runs to optimize his patie

Metformin is one of the oldest and most studied drugs on earth, but a lot of people in the medical community are still hesitant to prescribe it. What are the benefits of this drug for people with different health problems and needs? What does it do for weight, insulin levels and high blood sugar? Does it make people hypoglycemic? On this episode, Dr Nelson Vergel gives a presentation on different studies of metformin and why it’s a great drug to use. Testosterone-metformin combination therapy decreased total and LDL cholesterol, uric acid, hsCRP, homocysteine and fibrinogen, and it increased plasma testosterone. -Dr. Nelson Vergel Three Takeaways Metformin shifts gut bacteria and gives patients the gut biome composition of a leaner person.

The mainstream message is that you have to exercise to stay lean, but that’s a fallacy. What is truly needed to be healthy and avoid aging diseases? Why is metformin such a great supplement? What is causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? On this episode, we are joined by Dennis Mangan, who shares on these insights and provides high value data and recommendations. A training program integrated with intermittent fasting will get you insulin insensitive. Once you get insulin sensitivity, you’ll be a lot more adapted to fasting. - Dennis Mangan Three Takeaways The biggest hurdle to becoming fast adapted is psychological. Cancer feeds on insulin, sugar, and iron. If all these are under control you can lower your risk. Metformin applied topically speeds up the wound healing process.

As a species, men are 33 years from having no say in the population dynamics of this world. How can changes be made on a macro level to change the path we’re on? How are women being affected by modernization and contraception? What is synthetic estrogen doing to our environment?

We’re about to have a very uncomfortable conversation on a mass level about what our choices as humans have done to the environment and the direct effect it has on us. - Dr. Aaron Grossman Takeaways As a global population men are going to be infertile by 2050. Just because you’re fat and feeling blue that doesn’t mean you need TRT. You just might need to take better care of your body. Women are taking a synthetic drug to prevent pregnancy and it’s causing early menopause. All disease is just an inflammatory state. At the start of the show, Aaron gave us an update on chekd.com and trends he’s noticing with patients. Next we talked about the alarming s

Our routines are making us smarter and dumber at the same time. How can we challenge our brains to stay sharp and focused? How do you stimulate BDNF? How do you optimize your ketogenic dieting so that you get the very best out of it?

Having the ability to focus and filter out what’s not useful, and channel the best of your abilities to something is where you are highly productive. -Shawn Wells Three Takeaways Caffeine has diminishing returns, while theacrine gives you a smooth supply of energy without impairing sleep or needing increased doses. Crystallized intelligence gets better as we get older, but we lose fluid intelligence when we stop challenging our brains. Meditation and gratitude rituals help you get into the right state mentally to be able to focus and not be distracted. Wine: the more astringent the taste, the better. At the start of the show, Shawn shared how he got started and

The current healthcare system isn’t patient-focused, it’s revenue-focused. How is this current model putting patients at a disadvantage?

Propaganda has been weaponized to affect the mindsets of certain communities. How do we rise above this and connect with our own truth? How does living a positive life influence other people? Why is being fit a form of rebellion against the system? On this episode, Tobi Abegunde talks about how he turned his life around, and how he pursues his truth. I look at fitness as a scaffolding for my life. Once you have the discipline and the scaffolding, you don’t want to lose it. -Tobi Abegunde Takeaways The concept of meeting your mate in college and working at a company for 25 years doesn’t exist for millennials anymore. Doing positive things always has a circular effect because the people in your circle can influence other people too. Society is being conditioned to see masculinity as something to be demonized. With everything happening in this world, our greatest concern should be gathering resources and taking care of your tribe. At the start of the show, Tobi shared on his fitness and health journey, and how

There’s a quantum quality to interventional endocrinology that the numbers and how the guy feels don’t have to match up at all. - John Crisler Three Takeaways Endocrinology is the only field of medicine where they never naturally think of the half life of the medication.
