159: The Truth about Cholesterol and TRT Ft. Ali Gilbert


Listen Later

In today's era, where most men, especially the youth, only know how to eliminate fat, where they should be building muscle and focusing on their testosterone levels, there is a lot of misinformation spread around. In today's episode, Ali, the queen of men's health, shares her amazing insights about the health benefits of building muscles and how to optimize their testosterone. Also, she will give us true information about cholesterol and TRT.

Ali helps busy men get jacked, look great naked, optimize testosterone, and conquer nutrition by providing structure and a plan that works for their lifestyle. She has coached thousands of attorneys, doctors, other coaches, CEOs, executives, veterans, current military, and any dude looking to optimize their health.

Key Highlights:

[00:01 - 09:49] Opening Segment

● Ali introduces herself and explains why she was named the queen of men's health.

● She also explains that statins have not done much to lower cholesterol, and more insulin levels and inflammation contribute to heart disease.

● She also shares that there is no such thing as good or bad cholesterol. It's just cholesterol.

[11:39 - 18:01] What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?

● Erectile dysfunction results from three Bs, brain, biochemistry, and blood flow.

● Endothelial dysfunction equals erectile dysfunction, as per Dr. Michael Twyman.

● Stress affects the brain and signals that go down to the testicles and penis to procreate.

● Having unhealthy arteries, capillaries, and other things that contribute to healthy blood flow will also have an adverse effect on your penis.

[18:02- 25:09] TRT And Self-Medication

● Men are often stigmatized when discussing testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), leading to dismissal and self-medication.

● Ali advises that don't go to a GP for hormone replacement; go to someone with experience and a network of people.

● In Ali's opinion, insurance-based treatment presents a nightmare due to the arbitrary ranges that are deemed normal.

● Peptides are amino acids that can be used for fat loss, recovery, and other things and can be bought online as research chemicals.

Key Quotes:

"The rate of muscle decline accelerates as we get older." Ali Gilbert

"Everyone is going to react different, they have different needs and stuff like that. So sending somebody out the door with testosterone and other things that are not necessary, it's just malpractice, in my opinion." - Ali Gilbert

"If somebody says, I wanna get jacked, what does that mean to you? Because to me, it's a whole different definition." - Ali Gilbert

"The more body fat you have, the more inflamed you are because body fat is the most inflammatory tissue on the body." - Ali Gilbert
