Episode 139 - 10 Commandments of Supplementation for Men Over 40

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.

Episode 140 - Redefining Latino Masculinity for Men Over 40

The traditional expectations of stoicism in Latino culture limit many men from expressing their true selves. Add to that, the societal pressure to achieve the American dream pushes about 4 million Latinos in the US into severe depression every year, with many opting to commit suicide instead of seeking help.

Dr. Paul Rivera (PhD), a Co-founder of Be Act Change, joins me today to discuss the unique challenges and empowerment paths for Latino men over 40. We discuss vital topics, including fitness, health, nutrition, mindset, and true masculinity, to help men escape the depression trap as they age.

We also share practical steps for overcoming cultural and intergenerational challenges, the significance of celebrating achievements, and the concept of Post Traumatic Growth.

Whether you're dealing with mental health issues, struggling with family dynamics, or looking to build a supportive community, this episode offers the guidance and inspiration you need.

Join us as we uncover the layers of Latino masculinity and explore how you can live a fulfilling, authentic life. And remember, redefining your masculinity is not a sign of weakness but a testament to your strength and resilience.
