The Over 40 Alpha Podcast

Coffee and a bagel.That's how most men start the day—and it's also how they start gaining belly fat, storing toxins, crashing their energy, and tanking their testosterone without even realizing it.Here's the truth: your body is running on autopilot, and that autopilot is programmed to make you fat.In this episode, I'm joined by transformation expert and my good friend Coach Dimitri Giankoulas, as we break down exactly how glucose, insulin, food timing, and hidden sugars are quietly sabotaging your results.We get into how processed carbs rewire your metabolism, how eating “wrong” in the morning can wreck the entire day, why most men are insulin resistant by 40, and what to do about it, starting today.We also challenge the idea of “body types” and talk straight about what's really behind the so-called “endomorph excuse.”If you're over 40 and can't figure out why the fat won't come off, even when you train, this episode is your wake-up call.Let's lock in.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction01:02 - What really happens when you eat processed foods?06:37- The vicious cycle of poor eating habits10:42 - Glucose 101: Why your cells need it15:50 - Meal timing: when to eat carbs and when to avoid them22:45 - The somatotype approach to nutrition31:17 - Hidden sugars destroying your progress35:55 - Healthy foods to eat38:10 - Things to do to lose belly fat48:44 - Making it a lifestyle, not a diet

It reflects your confidence. It amplifies your presence. It speaks before you ever open your mouth.In this episode, I'm joined by Antonio Centeno, founder of Real Men Real Style, former Marine Corps officer, and one of the most respected men's style coaches in the world.Antonio breaks down the exact steps to upgrade your wardrobe without wasting money, losing your identity, or looking like you're trying too hard.We talk suits, shirts, pants, and shoes... but more importantly, we discuss how style shapes your mindset, your marriage, your career, and your ability to lead.Let's dive in.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction05:00 - From Marine to style mogul: Antonio's origin story18:12 - Biggest wardrobe mistakes after 4025:38 - Must-have suits and why every man needs one37:45 - Shirts: from T-shirts to button-downs48:55 - Pants: jeans, chinos, and finding the perfect fit53:54 - Shoes: The shoes make the man1:02:32 - Where to start and how to level up your style

Think 10,000 steps is just a trendy number? It might be the missing piece that's holding you back from dropping stubborn fat, balancing your hormones, and staying strong well into your 60s and 70s.In this episode, I'm breaking down why daily walking—yes, walking—is one of the most powerful tools for men over 40 to transform their bodies, improve energy, and stay out of the danger zone of chronic disease.This one's straight from one of my Friday coaching calls inside the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood, where I go deep into the REAL science behind step counts, metabolic health, testosterone, recovery, and fat loss. I'm sharing how I use daily walking to combat back pain, boost recovery, and burn hundreds of extra calories every day—without more workouts or stricter dieting.This one's practical, science-backed, and 100% doable.

Low energy, stubborn belly fat, weak workouts, poor sleep, no sex drive? That's not normal. It's low testosterone, and it's a silent epidemic affecting millions of men, especially over 40.In this episode, I'm breaking down the 10 Commandments of Naturally Increasing Testosterone—the exact framework I've used to help thousands of men inside the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood reclaim their strength, their confidence, and their manhood.We're not talking about TRT, steroids, or any quick-fix BS. This is all about dialing in your lifestyle, so your body starts producing more testosterone naturally, the way it was always meant to.I'm going to show you why belly fat is your enemy, how poor sleep crushes your hormones, what kind of training actually boosts your T, and why most guys are unknowingly flooding their bodies with estrogenic toxins. We'll also talk about porn, alcohol, junk food, and the weak habits that are straight-up sabotaging your masculinity.These 10 commandments aren't just tips. They're non-negotiables. And when you lock them in, you'll not only increase your testosterone, but you'll feel more alive, more powerful, and more you than you've felt in years.Let's get after it.Timestamps:01:54 - The real epidemic06:20 - The Alpha Zone: What optimal testosterone looks like07:26 - Carl's transformation story at 4710:44 - Commandment #1: Thou shalt lift weights (the RIGHT way)17:20 - Commandment #2: Prioritize deep sleep for testosterone production23:05 - Commandment #3: Master your nutrition with balanced meals27:43 - Commandment #4: Eliminate belly fat 31:02 - Commandment #5: Crush chronic stress with proven daily habits37:11 - Commandment #6: Ditch estrogenic toxins (and reclaim your hormones)39:12 - Commandment #7: Move daily beyond workouts40:37 - Commandment #8: Supplement wisely43:37 - Commandment #9: Fuel the Alpha mindset46:47 - Commandment #10: Thou shalt reject all low T lifestyle choices

You don't wake up 300 pounds overnight. But one day, you walk into a store, try on a triple XL shirt… and it doesn't fit. That was James Rice's moment. The moment he realized his health had quietly spiraled out of control.But what followed wasn't just a weight loss journey—it was a complete reinvention.In this episode, James opens up about what really led to his transformation at 52 years old.

Admitting he needed help.James went from nearly 300 pounds to stepping on stage at 150 pounds, shredded, and winning a national transformation contest affiliated with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

It was what he gained along the way: energy, purpose, confidence, and a reason to lead others.We talk about the raw realities of starting over in midlife, setting new boundaries, breaking a sugar addiction, and how becoming “selfish” with your health might be the most selfless thing you can do for your family.This one hits deep, especially for guys who think it's too late to turn things around.James proves it never is.Timestamps:08:05 - Childhood, sugar, and the slow creep of weight gain10:18 - The knee injury that became an excuse13:18 - Life at 23-4016:41 - Setting boundaries with work, family, and health22:10 - The Miami Beach wake-up call and a shirt that didn't fit28:10 - The sugar detox nightmare and early struggles35:07 - What the first 12 weeks of workouts really looked like38:50 - From gym member to bodybuilding competitor40:46 - How he lost weight during COVID46:14 - Competition day and the supportive community52:12 - Meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger and finding purpose56:17 - The importance of community in transformation1:01:06 - James's books: "Transform Yourself" and "The 100 Pound War"

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 also addresses other common misconceptions, such as yoga for men being too spiritual or not physically challenging enough.

Are you stuck in the fat-burning zone but still not seeing results? Many people think burning fat during exercise equals fat loss, but the truth is more complex. In today's episode, we'll discuss the difference between fat burning and fat loss—and why understanding this can transform your fitness journey. We'll debunk the common myth that staying in a low-intensity "fat-burning zone" is the best way to lose fat. You'll understand why your body burning fat doesn't necessarily translate into fat loss. We'll also discuss how your body uses calories for energy, how to track your caloric intake and burn, and the importance of quality nutrition in maintaining a calorie deficit. I also highlight the dangers of restrictive diets and share efficient ways to burn calories throughout the day. I address the widespread myth of targeting belly fat and offer a comprehensive fat-loss approach, combined with regular monitoring of body composition and overall progress, which is far more effective than belly fat exercises. So, whether you're struggling with stubborn belly fat or looking to kickstart your fat-loss journey, this episode is packed with actionable insights that will help you create a sustainable daily routine for lasting fat loss. Tune in to learn how to optimize your workouts, nutrition, and lifestyle for better results.Timestamps:07:01 Fat loss versus fat burning09:57 What is fat burning?12:14 The myth of the “fat-burning zone”16:24 What is fat loss?17:32 Why calorie deficit is crucial for fat loss21:34 What is a calorie?

In 2021, over 38 million Americans (11.6% of the population) had diabetes, mostly type 2, while 97.6 million adults had prediabetes, a precursor to type 2 diabetes.

Stem cell therapy has multiple benefits for older men, including regenerating damaged tissues, anti-aging, joint pain relief, and inflammation reduction.

What are some of the worst diets out there for men over 40? I'm Funk Roberts and my goal is to empower you with knowledge and tools to make informed dietary decisions that will positively impact your life. Sure, perhaps a Paleo diet worked for cavemen – but they only lived to 30, right? The negative impact of specific diets on your health and well-being, diets that are hyped up as quick fixes on social media, cannot be underestimated for men over 40. We're at that stage when we need to take our hormonal balance and cortisol levels into serious consideration as we aim for a diet that becomes a lifestyle. And so in this episode I'm critiquing some of the more popular diets out there and looking at them from the perspective of a man in his 40s, 50s, 60s, or even 70s. A man who needs nutritional support to provide for his family. I understand that navigating the world of nutrition can be overwhelming, but I'm here to guide you every step of the way. In this episode I also offer the ultimate solution to optimizing your nutrition for long-term lifestyle success. Please join us."I just need to follow a nutrition lifestyle that supports my hormones, my metabolism, my overall health, my energy, my mind, my brain. And it's easy to follow because I don't have to count calories. I don't have to weigh my food. I don't have to restrict complete food groups. It's all balanced." ~ Funk RobertsIn This Episode: Addressing the harmful diets for men over 40Understanding hormonal changes and metabolism in midlifeWhat most fitness trainers DON'T understandThe consequences of unhealthy dieting habitsBalanced meal planning for men over 40What nutrition for men over 40 should actually involveSubscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channelwww.over40alphapodcast.comYour support of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast helps to spread the word and ultimately,change the lives of men all around the world over the age of 40, 50 and 60 that struggle with health and fitnessI want to give a MASSIVE thanks to all who are stepping up and leaving5 star reviews.Please review and one share at a time.Drop that 5 star review.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessFunk's new book ‘Nutrition for Men Over 40' - www.over40meals.com

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 BakerIn This Episode: What is Human Growth Hormone?The connection between sarcopenia and HGHWhat is insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and why is it relevant?The #1 natural strategy for increasing your levels of HGHThe history of HGH synthetic treatmentsHow can you find the right HGH treatment for youSubscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channelwww.over40alphapodcast.comI want to give a MASSIVE thanks to all who are stepping up and leaving5 star reviews.Your support of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast helps to spread the word and ultimately,change the lives of men all around the world over the age of 40, 50 and 60 that struggle with health and fitnessPlease review and one share at a time.Drop that 5 star review.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685Resources mentioned: BioProtein Technology - https://bioproteintech.com/Connect with Dustin Baker: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bioproteintech/Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitness

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 SternIn This Episode: Connection between natural healing and chiropractic medicine Key nutrients your body needsThe impact of pathogens and heavy metals on your healthSymptoms of a weak immune systemWhat to do if you're healthy but still have symptomsStrategies for optimizing your immune systemSubscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channelwww.over40alphapodcast.comI want to give a MASSIVE thanks to all who are stepping up and leaving5 star reviews.Your support of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast helps to spread the word and ultimately,change the lives of men all around the world over the age of 40, 50 and 60 that struggle with health and fitnessPlease review and one share at a time.Drop that 5 star review.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685Resources mentioned: FarmMatch - https://www.farmmatch.com/drCori - Get 10 % in your first order courtesy of Dr. Cori!
