EP 10 Testosterone. Yes, I said it.

Testosterone. As men, we need to change the narrative. Yes, testosterone is a sex hormone, but it is fundamental for many processes in the body of both men and women. We should embrace it, talk about it and most importantly ensure our T or testosterone levels are sufficient.

Why?

Our T levels do get impacted by a number of lifestyle factors. Find out what these are, how you can try to boost your testosterone levels naturally, if regular sex helps, and what supplements may help, supported as usual by various studies.

Ep 8 Why YOU just might need some PROTEIN!

We have long been believers in protein supplements, especially for aging bodies not just for teenage gym goers. As you age, muscle mass can reduce due to conditions such as Sarcopenia. A lean whey protein can provide all the essential amino acids, helping retain or gain muscle mass, and most importantly support muscle recovery after exercise. 

Find out more about the types of protein available, isolate, concentrate, and hydrolyzed. When it makes sense to use it, before or after exercise? Or just in the morning to start the day?  Some of the key reasons you may want to use it are to help manage weight or retain muscle mass. Finally, think about your current daily nutrition, and just how much protein you are actually taking in as you age.

Ep 7 Exercise Motivation

Prioritize and make time for exercise. We plan most things in our lives, and yet many of us take our own health for granted. We neglect our own quality. Quality of life. Quality of us. 

There is always time for working out, training, and exercising. You just need to recognize it, prioritize and then do it. Exercise and health go hand in hand as you get older. The evidence is in. 

How do you want to feel? How do you want to feel about yourself? Time, Exercise, and Recovery are key. Exercise may be inconvenient but illness and disease are more inconvenient. Start moving today. Listen for more insights and detail.

Episode 4: Benefits of Weight Lifting and Resistance Training

Are you lifting weights above your head? If not, why you should be? How much should you be doing? What muscle groups should you be training? Why is this even more important as you get older? Lots of good questions.
 
If you don't use them you lose them. Muscles that are.  Sarcopenia is a condition that results in muscle loss and is driven by age. Lifting weights or resistance training can help avoid sarcopenia, and even help grow muscle mass. But the key is also avoiding injury.  Listen to find out more or visit oldbullhealth.com.
