I’m always talking about cortisol and testosterone. But there’s one hormone that doesn’t get enough love from me. This is human growth hormone.
According to Dustin Baker, today’s guest, human growth hormone is the body's master hormone for both men and women.
HGH is responsible for many metabolic functions, and it declines naturally with age, starting after puberty, leading to issues like loss of muscle mass and quality.
Fortunately, some natural and synthetic ways can help you increase your HGH levels, and Dustin explains them all.
In this episode, Dustin shares his origin story of falling in love with health and fitness in his early 20s and the journey that led him to acquire BioProtein Tech and create their flagship product, Bio Pro Plus.
We get into the stigma around HGH treatments and why they've earned a bad reputation. Dustin explains how peptides came as a replacement but are now facing regulation. This is where Bio Pro Plus comes in as a natural alternative.
Dustin answers questions about potential benefits for both men and women, including joint health, fat loss, muscle growth, recovery, and more.
If you want to learn how to age better, boost your performance in the gym, and feel your best, this episode is the way to go.

“My own personal tip [to increase HGH naturally]? Invest in some sort of tracking system and some sort of professional to tell you what to do, get a good schedule together, and just execute it. Don’t make it hard.”

—Dustin Baker
In This Episode:

  • What is Human Growth Hormone?
  • The connection between sarcopenia and HGH
  • What is insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and why is it relevant?
  • The #1 natural strategy for increasing your levels of HGH
  • The history of HGH synthetic treatments
  • How can you find the right HGH treatment for you

The Over 40 Alpha Podcast - Episode 139 - 10 Commandments of Supplementation for Men Over 40
play

05/11/24 • 91 min

Most of us understand that nutrition is a critical pillar of health and wellness. But sometimes, despite our efforts to eat a balanced diet daily, we still have dietary deficiencies, partly because food quality has changed over the years.
Nutritional supplements help us compensate for the deficiencies and improve our overall health. So, today, I'm going to take you behind the scenes of one of our coaching calls, where I talked about the top 10 to 15 supplements for men over 40, why you need them, and how to use them for the best results.
We talked about the role of supplements like creatine, whey protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3 and K2, magnesium, zinc, HMB, probiotics, CoQ10, Vitamin B12, ashwagandha, and saw palmetto in combating age-related muscle loss, promoting gut health, supporting hormonal balance, boosting testosterone, and improving mental, prostate, and overall health.
I also emphasized the importance of sleep in maintaining health and suggested a six-week challenge to enhance sleep quality.
Some of the recommended supplements are available at Funk Supplements Shop. Remember to use the code “Podcast15” to get a 15% discount on your order.
Most importantly, tune in to the episode for the complete list of supplements you need to stack immediately.

The Over 40 Alpha Podcast - Episode 65 - Sleep Is A Skill with Mollie McGlocklin
play

06/02/21 • 76 min

Since when did sleep become a skill? It’s when man’s physiology and the environment turned sleep into a privilege over necessity! Men in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond have so much going for their lives, their careers, and their families, that sleep has slowly taken a backseat. It’s only when health starts to decline that suddenly, a shift is needed to fine-tune this skill and re-establish the key to recovery. Mollie McGlocklin, the creator and lead behavioral change coach for Sleep Is A Skill, joins Funk in this episode to teach the skill of deep sleep and how to rewire the behaviors and lifestyles of today that are causing sleep disturbances.
“Circadian rhythm can become a superpower if we lean into this. So part of our intention with clients is to create a circadian lens by which they view the structure of their day.” —Mollie McGlocklin
In This Episode:
- Discover the skill called “sleep” and how it came to be a new skill essential to life and health.
- Recognize the behaviors and lifestyles that are impacting the body’s natural capacity for recovery.
- What the circadian rhythm is all about and how it plays a role in our state of health, mood, sleeping patterns, and weight changes.
- The 2 key parts that are huge triggers for the circadian rhythm and the way a good, restful sleep is directly connected to the hormones in our body, especially the testosterone.
- Reset your circadian rhythm by designing your day through the circadian lens and how this process is extremely helpful to shift workers.
- 2 frameworks people need to look at that shapes the skill of achieving a deep state of sleep and the things that exist on a spectrum that will help ensure a strong circadian rhythm.

play

10/21/23 • 73 min

You may think that you will stop feeling stress once you retire or change your job or the kids go live by themselves. Hate to break it to you, but stress just won't disappear.
The secret is that you don't have to let it wreck your peace of mind.
Sure, meditation, hiking, and sunlight are great stress-busters. However, there's a game-changer that often gets overlooked: nutrition.
Today's guest will speak about the right nutrition to fortify the body so we can have a strong immune system to fight stressors.
Dr. Cori Stern has been on a mission since 2001 to help people reclaim their health naturally.
Her journey started in a childhood characterized by a poor diet, chronic infections, and endless antibiotics. At 15, she took matters into her own hands, delving into the mysteries of the gut-brain connection and the impact of diet on well-being.
At 37, she emerged as a chiropractor, helping people globally overcome health challenges and advocating for their well-being.
Dr. Stern is here to guide us, unveiling the power of eating the proper foods to fortify our bodies, bolster our immune systems, and face stressors.
Today isn't about blame. It's about taking that first step toward a healthier, stress-resistant you. Tune in and discover where your journey to well-being begins. Let's do this.
“Nutrition, as I have discovered, is the basis of health. So many chiropractors like myself have found that if people are not eating properly, if they have nutritional deficiencies or imbalances, all the chiropractic in the world doesn’t fix them.”
—Dr. Cori Stern

In This Episode:

  • Connection between natural healing and chiropractic medicine
  • Key nutrients your body needs
  • The impact of pathogens and heavy metals on your health
  • Symptoms of a weak immune system
