Toxins are all around us—even where we least expect them. Our guest, Dr. Paul Savage, reveals that a staggering 80% of the 144,000 environmental toxins are inside our homes. From the cleaning products we use to our food and air, our daily lives are filled with exposure to harmful chemicals that can wreak havoc on our health.
Today, we explore how these invisible threats impact your well-being and what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones from their dangers. Dr. Paul shares his personal journey from being an overweight, unhealthy ER doctor to a leading voice in the fight against toxins.
We are talking about the true impact of toxins on testosterone levels and the risk of chronic diseases, the myth of commercial detox programs, and the revolutionary PlasmaXchange therapy that can remove almost every toxin from the body. We’ll also discuss my toxin test results to show you why getting tested is crucial.
Tune in for immediate steps you can take today to reduce your exposure to toxins and protect your physical and mental health.

Unaddressed trauma can hinder personal growth and fulfillment, especially for men over 40. From childhood events and family struggles to emotional pain, these burdens often resurface later in life and can lead to self-sabotage, poor health, and strained relationships.

Many men think yoga is primarily for women because most participants are female, and classes often cater to women's needs. My guest, Dean Pohlman, explains that men and women have different flexibility requirements, making traditional yoga more challenging for men. However, yoga has evolved to include elements like British gymnastics, making it more accessible for everyone.
Dean, founder of Man Flow Yoga, shares his journey into men’s yoga and how it transformed his approach to fitness by improving his flexibility, core strength, and body awareness. He addresses other common misconceptions, such as yoga for men being too spiritual or not physically challenging enough.
Dean explains how men’s yoga workouts can be adapted to meet their specific physical needs, with a focus on balance, posture, and injury prevention yoga. He emphasizes the lifelong benefits of yoga, not only for increasing strength and flexibility but also for overall well-being, particularly for men over 40.
You'll learn how morning yoga flow can relieve common issues like lower back pain, knee pain, and shoulder stiffness. Dean also highlights how strength-focused yoga helps build core and hip strength to reduce strain on overworked joints.
If you're ready to build strength, balance, and overall fitness, tune in to this episode and discover how Man Flow Yoga can help men over 40 stay active, pain-free, and in peak physical condition.

Funk’s book ‘Nutrition for Men Over 40’ - www.over40meals.com
The "dad bod" has gained popularity as a relatable and attainable body type for men, especially fathers, who lack the time or energy to maintain a toned physique. While often embraced as a symbol of comfort or a badge of honor, my guest, Dane Palarino, opines that it is a destructive myth that normalizes unhealthy habits, poor health, and low energy.
Dane, the founder of Dad Bod Sculptors, shares his journey as a successful entrepreneur who faced a major turning point when he realized his health was deteriorating. He had to make a change, not just for himself, but for his family.
He shares how accountability and the right mindset were crucial in his transformation and how finding a coach can provide the guidance and structure many men over 40 need to stay on track with their fitness goals. Dane explains how setting daily non-negotiables helped him become a better husband, father, and leader.
