Podcasts about anabolic

They say it's not possible... To grow muscle while living a fasting focused lifestyle.   Well, my experience over the years has proven the Fake Fitness Experts wrong.   In this episode, I go deep on how muscle growth happens and how it plays beautifully alongside the Panda Diet.   I call it the Sling Shot Effect; essentially losing fat and getting leaner over time while also building some raw, powerful muscle.   This one is a little longer than most, but I think you'll enjoy the education and knowledge that you will gain from it! Enjoy and if you do enjoy, leave a review or share it for me.   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - Ripped Dads, an all inclusive 6-week program, begins Monday, June 23rd.  If you want to pack muscle on and drop some serious bodyfat over the next 6 weeks, while dialing in your mind so you soar to new levels of confidence, then hit the link below.  Ripped Dads Challenge

Body of episode: FATHER'S DAY  MEN'S HEALTH  So, well before President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, I had planned on discussing men's health for this year's Father's Day episode. In particular, I wanted to discuss causes of male childlessness, such as Azoospermia.  I've decided to put links in the show notes in regards to Azoospermia. Please check out the links for further information.  The basic definition of Azoospermia per The Cleveland Clinic website is:   ‘Azoospermia means there's no sperm in your ejaculate. Its causes include a blockage along the reproductive tract, hormonal problems, ejaculation problems or issues with testicular structure or function. Many causes are treatable. For other causes, it may be possible to retrieve live sperm to be used in assisted reproductive techniques like IVF.‘    As I think back through my episodes, I don't believe I've ever discussed men's health, or medical reasons men may be childless.  We've discussed fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, miscarriage, running out of time, aka the biological clock, MRKH, etc.  But I've never gone into much detail regarding issues surrounding the causes of childlessness in men.    I have had the great opportunity to interview several men about their experiences with childlessness, including how they have dealt with it. I will put links in the show notes on interviews I have conducted over the years with these wonderful men. Be sure to take a listen!    I also believe male childlessness is not as openly discussed as female childlessness because men and their spouses may find the issue embarrassing, shocking to their ego in a different way than a woman may feel about her childlessness, or maybe in much the same way.  In either case, there can be emotional and mental pain.    Some of the things that can cause infertility in men include:   AI Overview Male infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, including problems with sperm production or quality, hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, infections, and environmental factors. Additionally, lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and certain drug use can also contribute to infertility.  Here's a more detailed look at some of the key causes: 1. Sperm Problems: Low sperm count (oligospermia): A low number of sperm in the ejaculate. Absent sperm (azoospermia): No sperm in the ejaculate. Poor sperm motility: Sperm are unable to swim properly. Abnormal sperm morphology: Sperm are abnormally shaped, making it difficult for them to fertilize an egg.  2. Hormonal Imbalances:  Reduced testosterone: Low levels of testosterone can affect sperm production.  Hyperprolactinemia: Elevated levels of prolactin can interfere with sperm production.  Hormonal disorders affecting the pituitary gland or hypothalamus: These glands regulate hormone production.  3. Genetic Disorders: Klinefelter syndrome: A genetic condition affecting males. Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disorder that can cause blocked reproductive ducts. Myotonic dystrophy: A genetic disorder that can affect sperm production.  4. Infections and Inflammation: Epididymitis: Inflammation of the epididymis, the tube that carries sperm from the testicles.  Orchitis: Inflammation of the testicles.  STIs: Sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea or chlamydia can cause inflammation and damage to the reproductive organs.  5. Environmental and Lifestyle Factors: Smoking: Smoking can reduce sperm count and quality.  Alcohol consumption: Excessive alcohol use can lower testosterone levels and affect sperm production.  Certain drug use: Anabolic steroids and other drugs can negatively impact sperm production.  Exposure to toxins or chemicals: Exposure to certain toxins, like pesticides, can affect fertility.  Obesity: Being overweight or obese can impact sperm quality.  6. Medical Conditions: Diabetes: Diabetes can affect sperm production and quality. Kidney failure: Kidney failure can also impact sperm production. Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disorder that can cause blocked reproductive ducts. Autoimmune diseases: Some autoimmune diseases can attack sperm.  7. Other Factors: Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, which can raise testicular temperature and affect sperm production.  Testicular trauma: Injury to the testicles can damage sperm production.  Previous cancer treatment: Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can affect sperm production.  Undescended testicles: Testicles that don't descend into the scrotum.  Blockages or absences of tubes: Blockages in the reproductive tract can prevent sperm from being released.  This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional. AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more Whether you have children or not, your health is important. Be sure to go to all of your check-ups, especially if there is a family history of health issues. Get checked, don't wait.   Be OK with advocating for yourself. The healthcare industry may say no, you are too young for a particular test. But if you want that test, be insistent. Keep in mind that if your insurance does not cover the test because you are not of a certain age or whatever their parameters are, you may have to pay out of pocket.   Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful men out there who do the work of raising great people for this world.  Happy Father's Day to those of you who did not birth children, but are contributing to a child's life in beautiful and lasting ways.         Research links:   https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15441-azoospermia Articles/links of interest: https://ifstudies.org/blog/pronatalism-is-not-popular-yet Episode links to conversations with men: https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-143-the-things-men-talk-about-my-conversation-with-dr-robin-hadley/ https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-116-my-conversation-with-dave-jackson/ https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-141-downriver-nomad-my-conversation-with-rob-hutchings/ https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-130-about-fathers-day-and-childlessness/ https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-57-men-men-men-men-3/ My contact information: Website: www.childlessnotbychoice.net and www.civillamorgan.com Facebook: booksbycivillamorgan Instagram: @joyandrelevance Pinterest: Civilla M.

Let's unpack something most midlife women are totally missing – protein for Menopause Hormone Support. Are you feeling moody, low-energy, or constantly craving carbs in midlife? It might not just be your hormones—it could be your protein intake… and its effect on your hormones.  In today's episode, know how protein connects hormones and why your daily meals might be the hormonal tune-up you didn't know you needed. Cortisol & Protein: The Stress-Balance Dance Cortisol levels increase in response to low blood sugar or stress, which are common when meals are high-carb and low-protein. A high-protein diet blunts cortisol spikes post-meal and improves the body's stress response.   Insulin: Protein's Role in Glucose Control Protein stimulates insulin—but in a modulated way that helps with blood sugar stability, not spikes. In midlife and beyond, protein helps preserve insulin sensitivity, especially when combined with resistance training.   Ghrelin & Leptin: Protein vs. Cravings Ghrelin = your hunger hormone. Protein is the most effective macronutrient at suppressing ghrelin. Leptin = satiety hormone. Protein helps regulate leptin sensitivity over time. The Protein theory goes that if the body doesn't get enough protein it will message you it wants more. The problem is the message is not clear. It's just a hunger signal. You're left to figure it out or deal with the tempting cookies, cakes, and chocolate hidden in the icebox.    Estrogen: From Muscle Protector to MIA Estrogen is an anabolic hormone—it supports muscle maintenance, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic efficiency. As estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause, its natural support of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) disappears. With estrogen no longer stimulating MPS, women must now rely on two primary tools to stimulate it: Resistance training Adequate high-quality protein (especially leucine-rich) “Estrogen enhances the anabolic response of skeletal muscle to both feeding and resistance exercise, and its loss results in anabolic resistance.”   More Truths About Protein for Menopause Hormone Support Muscle Protein Synthesis declines with age—and even more so without estrogen.  This is why RDA-level protein (0.8g/kg) is not sufficient in midlife - a statement agreed on by Registered Dietitians, longevity and geriatric experts alike.  Experts (ISSN) recommend ≥1.6–2.2g/kg of body weight for active women in midlife to maintain muscle, metabolism, and hormonal resilience.   The Anabolic vs. Catabolic Hormone Framework Anabolic Hormones = Build & Repair These are hormones that stimulate tissue growth and regeneration: Testosterone – promotes muscle growth, strength, libido Growth Hormone (GH) – supports repair, recovery, and fat metabolism Estrogen – helps preserve lean mass, regulates insulin sensitivity Insulin – can be anabolic by shuttling nutrients into cells, especially post-exercise Protein intake supports all of these by providing the amino acid building blocks needed for anabolic activity. Catabolic Hormones = Break DownThese are hormones that promote the breakdown of muscle, tissue, and energy stores: Cortisol – breaks down muscle for glucose during stress Epinephrine/Norepinephrine – mobilize energy in fight-or-flight Chronically elevated catabolic hormones + low protein = muscle loss, cravings, fatigue. Fat Storage Insulin isn't actually a catabolic hormone but it does increase fat storage. You can't be burning fat if insulin is high, as is true for many women. Focusing on boosting the anabolic hormones is the game-changer.    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Can We Just Stop the Self Sabotage to Feel Your Best Ever  Next Episode - How and Why to Consider Meditation in Menopause More Like This - Where Protein Recommendations for Women Come From?   Resources:  This episode is brought to you by Flipping 50 Longevity Pro Protein & Fiber, the simplest ingredient, cleanest, third-party-tested protein powder formulated specifically for midlife metabolism.

Nelson Vergel's story is one of resilience, perseverance, and an unrelenting drive to defy the odds. In the mid-1980s, he was handed what many would have considered a death sentence—an HIV diagnosis at a time when there were no effective treatments, no clear answers, and little hope. Today, he is a beacon of knowledge and empowerment for those seeking to take control of their health, whether they are dealing with wasting conditions, hormone deficiencies, or simply aiming for peak performance. Nelson has spent decades researching and advocating for hormone health, muscle preservation, and medical autonomy, particularly for those facing wasting conditions like HIV and cancer. His work has helped shape the conversation around androgen therapies, the role of anabolic agents in aging, and the intersection of GLP-1 medications with muscle loss.We cover:Nelson's personal journey from an HIV diagnosis to hormone optimizationThe history, misconceptions and stigma surrounding anabolic agentsThe differences between various anabolic agents and how they work The impact of GLP-1 medications on lean mass and how to mitigate muscle lossBest practices for hormone monitoring and optimizationIf you want to hear an inspiring story of overcoming the odds to take control of your own health or you're curious about anabolic therapies and longevity, you can't miss this one. Who is Nelson Vergel?Nelson Vergel is a chemical engineer, author, and health advocate who has made significant contributions to men's health and hormone optimization. His most recent book, Beyond Testosterone, provides a detailed color guide to educate clinicians and patients about the latest advances in the use of testosterone, anabolics, and other therapies to maximize health and productivity.This episode is brought to you by:LMNT - Code DRLYON for a free LMNT Sample Pack! – http://drinklmnt.com/drlyoOur Place - Code DRLYON for 10% off – https://fromourplace.comTimeline - Code DRLYON for 10% OFF – https://timelinenutrition.com/DRLYONOneSkin - Code DRLYON for 15% off! – https://www.oneskin.co/Find Nelson Vergel at:DiscountedLabs.com – Offers affordable blood tests for monitoring hormones and overall health.
