#256 Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Optimization - Saad Alam

Welcome to the Siim Land Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and our guest today is Saad Alam. Saad is an entrepreneur from the US and the founder and CEO of Hone. Hone is an online clinic specialized in male hormone optimization and health. In this episode, we’re going to talk about how to improve your testosterone and vitality.

This episode is brought to you by Kaatsu Training. Kaatsu Bands incorporate blood flow moderation training that tricks the body into thinking it’s lifting heavier weights than it actually is. When traditional weightlifting requires you to reach 70-80% of your 1 repetition maximum to stimulate muscle hypertrophy, then Kaatsu bands achieve that effect only at 20-30%. So, it’s perfect for treating injuries or used when you don’t have access to heavier weights. Research about Kaatsu bands also shows it lowers blood pressure, speeds up recovery from injuries, releases stem cells, builds muscle, burns fat, and prevents age-related muscle loss. These things are amazing and I use them almost every day to recover from my heavier workouts. If you want to try out the Kaatsu bands, then use the code SIIM for a 10% discount at kaatsu-global.com. That’s SIIM at kaatsu-global.com.
