The information shared on this podcast is well-researched and based on the latest scientific findings, giving listeners a comprehensive understanding of the challenges they may face during this stage of life.

While this is a wide ranging conversation, our central theme in this talk is how to find the right lifestyle for you after 45 and the big pillars that contribute to it. Dr. Derek Alessi, Ph.D became interested in the field of fitness training at an early age when he was an obese teenager.  Determined to change his health, body and ultimately his future, he began strength training and developed a system to modify his nutrition.  Derek dropped over 80-pounds in one year and later that same year, he entered his first and only body building contest. Disenchanted with the way body building tends to minimize health and well-being in order to encourage raw size, he left that arena and dedicated his career to helping individuals achieve better health and wellness through a program of planned exercise and practical nutrition. At the age of 19, Derek passed a national fitness certification exam and began his career in personal fitness training.  He furthered his quest for more information through education and received post-graduate degrees in health and physical education as well as a master's degree in nutrition. Dr. Derek is the author of The Bermuda Triangle Diet (October, 2009 Strategic Publishing), Lose Fat Forever (2003), and The Promise Health and Fitness System (2002 ).  Derek has earned a doctorate degree in health and physical education and a master's degree in nutrition.  He is also a National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) trainer.  He owns and operates Dr. Derek Health & Fitness, a private practice, a personal training facility for adults in East Amherst New York.  He has appeared on over 2100-TV and 400-radio programs throughout the country and has been featured in national print media including Maxim, Burn Fitness for Women and Iron-Man Magazines. Dr. Derek is a health, fitness and lifestyle contributor for the USA Today and the host of weekly TV show on NBC Cleveland & NBC in Buffalo, New York called Live It Fit Now!   In addition, Dr. Derek conducts regular health and fitness seminars for the health care industry, Fortune 1000 companies, and small businesses where he combines his unique brand of humor, empathy and knowledge to communicate his positive, affirming message:  Make the Most of Your Life… Live It Fit!™   Time Stamps:   (2:40) Losing 80 Pounds To Be A Dentist (6:15) Nair and Finding Competing Wasn't For Him (11:10) Opinion on GLP-1's (13:20) Biggest Mindset Shift (21:40) First Steps For Weight Loss (22:38) The Right Diet (25:05) True Keto Salad Dressing (34:05) The Right Exercise (37:00) Training Heavy In Midlife and Beyond (42:10) Women vs Men  (53:16) Choosing Your Curious (54:10) Where To Find Strength Genesis and Dr. Derek -------------------- Strength Genesis - My affiliate link: https://strengthgenesis.com?sca_ref=8302855.oUM0WRDjy5yg https://alessifit.com/ https://www.instagram.com/alessifitness/ -------------------- Slim Stomach Solution Program: https://www.carolcovino.com/slim-stomach-solution/ -------------------- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolcovinofitness/ -------------------- My YouTube Channel: http://youtube.com/@carolcovinofitness
