The Over 40 Alpha Podcast

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

Creatine might be the most powerful supplement you're not taking.

As men, we start losing muscle mass in our 30s, our energy levels drop, recovery gets harder, and even our mental sharpness begins to fade. But what if one simple supplement could help combat all these age-related challenges?

In this episode, I share how creatine is becoming recognized as a game-changer, specifically for men over 40. You'll learn how this naturally occurring compound can help preserve muscle, enhance recovery, boost brain function, and even support your heart health.

Plus, I'll cut through the marketing hype to reveal exactly how to use creatine for maximum results, debunk persistent myths about side effects, and tell you which type of creatine actually delivers on its promises.

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.

Are you tired of constant aches, limited mobility, and feeling like your best years are behind you? In this week’s episode, I chat with Jonathan Haas, who reveals how men over 40 can overcome such challenges by building functional strength, improving daily mobility, and adopting a warrior mindset.
Jonathan is a long-time fitness trainer, martial artist, and founder of the Warrior Health System. We dive into functional strength training, mobility routines, and mental resilience for older men. Jonathan describes how functional fitness, daily mobility workouts, and martial arts training can transform your health, boost your strength, and help you maintain vitality well into your later years.
He explains how dedicating just 10 minutes a day to joint mobility exercises can improve joint health, reduce pain, and enhance flexibility. He also suggests focusing on functional fitness through kettlebells, club bells, and bodyweight exercises, as it can build real-world strength that translates into better performance in daily activities.
Jonathan emphasizes the importance of recovery to stay injury-free and promote muscle growth. We explore the mental side of fitness and discuss how martial arts can benefit anyone, no matter their age or experience, by boosting their physical fitness and mental discipline.
