“A decrease in insulin sensitivity and an increase in insulin resistance is often seen in aging and is the main feature of type 2 diabetes, but it doesn’t have to be this way. An attention to diet and exercise can maintain youthful levels of insulin sensitivity.” Those are the words of Dr. Mowll’s guest today — scientist, author, and blogger, P.D. Mangan. With his scientific background, P.D. writes about health, fitness, and anti-aging through lifting weights, maintaining a paleo diet, and intermittent fasting. He’s written six books on health and fitness, including Muscle Up and Dumping Iron. In their interview today, Dennis discusses how he uses his background in clinical biochemistry to understand diabetes and how to regulate blood sugar; why he gave up being vegetarian in favor of a low-carb, high fat diet; and how he cured his chronic fatigue. He also talks about why meat and saturated fats have very little — if anything — to do with our current health problems, the big problem with seed oil (most typically called vegetable oil) and what they do to our health, how high iron levels can be dangerous to our health, the importance of calorie restriction, how to slow the aging process, and prevent and reverse chronic disease. He also shares his journey of switching from being a marathon runner to giving up running in favor of resistance and strength training, as well as “vegetarian dark secrets,” and how the main contributors of the diabetes and obesity epidemic are actually plant foods.

A lot of people believe that testosterone causes heart attacks, and that they need to spend hours in the gym to have a great physique. How have some doctors and practitioners managed to show the fallacies of these ideas? What are the keys to staying dialed-in as you get older? On this episode, Dennis Mangan is back to talk about TOT and health for men in their 50s and older. For both men and women, muscularity and low body fat are associated with good health. -Dennis Mangan Three Takeaways Most people have no idea how to train at an intensity necessary to augment or modulate their bodies. A lot of men falsely believe going on TOT means they won’t have to make any other changes to lifestyle. The lifestyle changes should actually come first. Many doctors don’t order testosterone tests because they don’t actually know how to read the panel. At the start, Dennis shared why it’s so important to make necessary lifestyle changes before you go on TOT. Next, we talked about how testosterone keeps your coronary risk factors in check, and how it reduces inflammation. We also discussed why you don’t need to be in the gym for hours to look good, and why women should lift weights. We also spoke about: The effects of AIs on long-term mineral bone density The difference between resistance training and aerobic training The negative effects of veganism There is no magic bullet to longevity and age management. It comes down to living an insulin-controlled lifestyle, optimizing testosterone, maintaining a low carb diet and intentional, focused training. Therapeutic testosterone is a huge part of reducing the risk of heart attacks, and keeping you healthy overall, but the very first thing that needs to be done is getting your lifestyle dialed-in.

The mainstream message is that you have to exercise to stay lean, but that’s a fallacy. What is truly needed to be healthy and avoid aging diseases? Why is metformin such a great supplement? What is causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? On this episode, we are joined by Dennis Mangan, who shares on these insights and provides high value data and recommendations. A training program integrated with intermittent fasting will get you insulin insensitive. Once you get insulin sensitivity, you’ll be a lot more adapted to fasting. - Dennis Mangan Three Takeaways The biggest hurdle to becoming fast adapted is psychological. Cancer feeds on insulin, sugar, and iron. If all these are under control you can lower your risk. Metformin applied topically speeds up the wound healing process. At the start of the show, Dennis talked about intermittent fasting, and why it’s so important to get good nutrition. Next, we talked about gut biome and how easy it is to get fast adapted. We also talked about the consequences of poor insulin sensitivity, poor food choices, sugar and GMOs. The importance of food and meal prep. We also discussed; The difference between metformin and berberine Why all disease will be proven metabolic Whole foods vs junk foods Why people fear hormonal optimization If you don't eat right, any amount of exercise will be meaningless. If you want to keep the weight off and avoid aging diseases, you have to watch what you eat. It’s also important to improve your insulin sensitivity, and limit all the inflammatory factors causing these diseases. It’s very simple to reduce risk factors just avoid sugar, processed foods and GMOs, exercise, get enough sleep and consider a supplement like metformin. If you dial in your insulin, controlled living, hormonal optimization, and lifestyle factors, you change health habits, increase longevity, and feel good.

Why is iron responsible for so many diseases and health problems in men? What habits and factors make it hard for people to attain health and excellent physique? On this episode, Dennis Mangan goes deep on his book Dumping Iron, the dangers of excess body iron, and how to stay in the best shape and health in your 50s. The person who wants to stay in good health as they get older needs to put forth the effort to do things that are going to help them. - Dennis Mangan Three Takeaways Blood donation is the easiest and fastest way for men to get rid of excess iron. Having good cardiovascular conditioning is an important determinant of health, but it’s incomplete without strength training. If you want to lose weight in your 50s try intermittent fasting. Have a cup of coffee for breakfast, eat at noon and avoid carbs, especially after 6pm. At the start of the show Dennis gave us a background of his career, his research in chronic fatigue and how Rogue Health & Fitness got started. We also talked about the current medical industry, and why some doctors are misinformed. In the next portion on the show, Dennis shared his research on iron and the effects it has on men. He went on to share how men can keep iron in check. Towards the end of the show we talked about the benefits of strength training and intermittent fasting. Dennis also shared insights on: Why men have 4 times the amount of iron women do The importance of working on your body composition How ferritin is used to check your iron Why women need strength training more than men The importance of putting effort into your health and educating yourself Iron is a very reactive metal, even in the body. Evolution has not optimized us to get exactly the right amount. Men are more susceptible to the dangers of iron, so controlling it is important. Most doctors are not informed enough to intelligently tell people how to reduce iron and improve lifestyle habits. The greatest responsibility for our health lies with us, our willingness to put effort and how much we educate ourselves.

High iron levels can negate your good diet and exercise habits while raising your risk of age-related diseases like cancer and heart disease. In our latest episode Dennis Mangan shares the best methods for testing for high iron and reducing iron to healthy levels in your system, plus touches on the benefits of intermittent fasting and his perspective on SARM’s. Dennis started with the basics of iron as a reactive element. Iron reacts with different constituents in our body, so the more iron in our body the more damage it causes. The #1 storage mechanism for iron in our bodies is our blood. Interestingly, Dennis points out than 10% of people in the US are truly iron-deficient, and those are mostly pre-menopausal women. The basic problem is this: Our bodies are evolutionarily conditioned to retain iron, so we have exquisite internal mechanisms for grabbing onto iron and no controlled means for getting rid of it. Over the years our bodies gradually accumulate iron and continue accumulating it beyond a healthy point. In fact, Dennis explained, “The average 35-yr old man has about 4-5x the amount of iron in his body as a woman the same age.” Our internal systems for mitigating the damage of iron aren’t perfect, resulting in age-related diseases like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, all of which afflict men at much higher rates. So you may have your diet and exercises and sleep dialed in, but an over-accumulation of iron may negate those good habits. Then Dennis went into detail on how to get your iron to healthy levels; “Know your ferritin levels – this test is the most common measure of the level of stored iron in your body...The #1 most effective way to get rid of iron is blood donation. The average man who donates blood once a year cuts his ferritin levels in half.” If you’re not qualified to donate blood you have other options for lowering iron levels, from exercise to supplements and diet habits that inhibit iron uptake. There are no iron-reducing pharmaceutical products, which explains why there’s no incentive to raise public awareness of the issue. We hear much more about cholesterol as the cause of age-related issues like heart disease, because there are so many cholesterol-reducing drugs being pushed on the public. We finish up by touching on the benefits of intermittent fasting and keto powders. Intermittent fasting puts you into a state when your body is burning fat for fuel, and keto supplement powders that help put your body into ketosis faster can help you fast longer and reduce hunger pangs. There is an important point to remember- Adding protein or BCAA’s during your fast will cause an insulin response and mitigate the benefits of intermittent fasting. All studies show that intermittent fasting does NOT burn muscle - provided you’re getting enough calories overall. To get the benefits of intermittent fasting, start by experimenting with minimizing your eating window – skipping breakfast and shutting down food intake at 8pm - to turn on your body’s fat burning furnace. Iron levels are so critical to aging that excess iron may negate all your good diet, exercise and sleep habits. So getting your iron to healthy levels should be an integral part of your self-directed health management. Start by working with forward-thinking doctors who can help analyze your lab tests and donating blood 1-2x per year.
