A lot of people just can’t face the fact that they’re getting older, and their bodies are not the same. Many respond by training too hard. Why is this so dangerous and how does it threaten your long-term health? What is the mental shift from competitor to normal gym bro? Why is telemedicine the future? On this episode, fitness expert Jay Ashman shares the importance of playing the long game with your training and talks about bouncing back after a major health scare.
Three Takeaways
At the start of the show, Jay shared on his upbringing and what it was like working as a bouncer. Next, we talked about the right way to approach training as you age. We also talked about why so many impressionable kids have the wrong idea of fitness and weight training, and why it’s so important to take the slower process to strength.
We also discussed:
It’s necessary to train with longevity in mind-- not just the short term gains of pumping as much iron as possible. The right way to do it is slow and steady, not hard and fast. The wrong approach will destroy your body and only lead to pain. Why wouldn’t you consider a progressive dosage of testosterone in addition to mitigating other risk factors? The ultimate goal is to build muscle, because muscle is the greatest deterrent to aging.

Testosterone levels for the average man begin to drop about 10% per decade. What are some of the misconceptions and misnomers that are getting in the way of people using it? Why is the idea that testosterone causes prostate cancer such a huge myth? How do side effects come about when you’re on TRT? On this episode, we talk all things TRT with fitness expert and best-selling author, John Romaniello.
"For the vast majority of individuals, testosterone supplementation is not a question of "if", but of "when". Once you look at it through that lens, you ask yourself: 'Why am I waiting?'." -John Romaniello
Takeaways
- Establish a testosterone baseline by getting tested every 2 years in your mid-twenties onward. Only when you establish a baseline can you really know when things start to drop.
- There’s a very good chance that an overweight person can have elevated estrogen symptoms because fat tissue is where the aromatase enzyme hangs out.
- Sleeping 6 hours or less per night for 14 days can drop testosterone levels by up to 15%.
At the start of the show, we talked about the importance of establishing your testosterone baseline and how low you should let it get before looking into doing TRT. We also talked about why biochemical uniqueness is the ultimate determinant, and the importance of finding the right needle size to reduce scar tissue. John also talked about mitigating fluctuations, and why getting less than 6 hours of sleep for as little as 14 days can have a catastrophic effect on your natural testosterone levels. Towards the end, we talked about the use of peptides.
We also discussed:
- Testosterone and increased quality of life in the short term vs. decreased longevity in the long term
- The difference between sexual dysfunction and decreased libido
- Why TRT does not cause cancer
- TRT and depression
From age 30, physically speaking, everything is on a downward slope. All you’re doing by optimizing is decreasing the grade of that slope. If you do testosterone right, there are no side effects and you won’t need other medications unless there’s a medical need. Testosterone in high amounts exacerbates things to which you were already prone, which can explain the side effects.
Some of the benefits you’ll experience are reduced “brain fog”, increased cognition and clearer thought patterns-- and this is just the beginning. The correct testosterone optimization protocol can correct many issues. So get your blood work done, and find the right doctor to support you.

Less that 1% of all federal funding is dedicated to studying, preventing and addressing the underlying causes of disease. Why is it so crucial for us to solve this problem? How do you boost fertility without compromising life span? Why is the sick care system making optimization difficult? On this episode, Managing Director of the Inovium Ovarian Rejuvenation Trial, Aaron Traywick is here to share on his work in age management, fertility and his views on the current state of health care.
The truth is always a lot more clearer when it’s decentralized. -Aaron Traywick
Takeaways
At the start of the show, Aaron shared on his work with politicians on the Hill, and why it’s so necessary for us to work on preventing the causes of the diseases of aging. Next, we talked about how Crispr Cas9 can be used to augment, change and edit a disease state. Aaron also talked about how the government is making the consumer pay for the investments of healthcare companies. Towards the end of the show, he shared on his fertility work.
We also discussed;
The only thing we can do to fight the ills of today’s medical system is take to matters into our own hands and be proactive. One of the most powerful ways we can be proactive is by sharing data and information, so we can overwhelm the current system to change it. The powers that be can’t suppress information at the rate and speed that it’s evolving. Healthcare providers don’t have a way of paying for the cure of diseases, all they can do is cover chronic illness, which is keeping us stuck in this paradigm. If we can take optimization to the next level, we can preventatively tackle the world’s top killer diseases.

Medical marijuana has been a game changer for people with conditions like insomnia, anxiety and chronic pain. Why properties make it such a powerful antidote? How do you use it without getting high on it? Why is correct dosing so critical? On this episode, The Medical Marijuana Expert, Dr. Rachna Patel joins us to discuss her work.
You have to use medical marijuana within certain parameters to get the benefits of it but not the adverse effects. -Dr Rachna Patel
Takeaways
At the start of the show, Dr. Rachna shared how she got started, and how her frustration with opiate addiction and overdoses led her to her work with medical marijuana. Next, she shared on the conditions she most commonly treats, as well as the people who shouldn’t use marijuana. We also discussed how marijuana affects sleep and concentration levels. Towards the end of the show, Dr. Rachna shared how she’s taking her business virtual.
We also discussed;
Chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia are the most common conditions that medical marijuana treats. These are also the conditions for which pharmaceutical medications are most prescribed. This means that if the use of medical marijuana became more widespread, it could potentially replace all of those medications. This could literally wean millions of Americans off addictive and lethal opiates, and this would completely transform the current medical system. Marijuana has a biphasic effect, too little won’t do anything and too much will make your pain worse. That’s why it’s so important to get the dosing on point, so that your intake falls within the optimal dosing range. Ultimately, you want to fall in the therapeutic window so you’re not experiencing side effects.

Since the 1950s, a silent warfare has been waged on the masses, and it has reached its most critical level now. Who is pulling all the strings and injecting the Progressive Virus into the population? What is the ultimate goal of the system that’s dumbing down humanity? What do we need to do to reclaim our power? On this episode, bestselling author of the book Of Tyrants and Tellers, Sonny Arvado, shines a light on the systems that are enslaving us, and how we can protect ourselves.
A lot of people think when it comes to any type of warfare, you need to brainwash an entire population. You just need to strategically get the established individuals under your wing. -Sonny Arvado
Takeaways
At the start of the show, we talked about the evil and darkness we are seeing in the world and who is behind it. Next, we discussed the American university system and why it’s nothing more than a scam. Sonny went on to share what made him write Of Tyrants and Tellers, and he gave tips to help men take ownership of their lives. Towards the end of the show, he talked about why smart, strong men are so necessary, now more than ever.
We also spoke about;
The world needs smart, strong masculine leadership, and it’s no coincidence that there’s a mission to dumb us down and make it impossible for us to stand up for ourselves. The media and the elites pulling the strings want us to live in fear and stay enslaved to the system. If you put all the pieces together, their ultimate goal is depopulation and eugenics. So how do we defend ourselves in this war? The number 1 thing you can do is take care of your health and fitness so you can become bigger, stronger and healthier. It’s all about regaining strength across the spectrum, in mind, body and spirit. Everything we need to survive will flow from that.

Insulin controlled living is the biggest topic in fitness, nutrition and optimization right now. What are the dangers associated with not keeping your insulin intake under control? What is the biggest mistake most intermittent fasters make when it comes to training? How are people wasting massive amounts of time at the gym? On this episode, Alexander Juan Antonio Cortes is here to share high-value wisdom on getting the most out of your workouts, and dialing in your insulin.
If you want to have average health, have average health. If you want to have optimal health, you’re going to have to sacrifice something and/or go without it for sometime. -Alexander Juan Antonio Cortes
Takeaways
At the start of the show we talked about insulin control, and how insulin production contributes to the diseases of aging. Next, we talked about how bad our social ignorance of our own biology is, and why most people don’t need as many carbs as they eat. We also discussed why you shouldn’t train fasted, “we don’t want to train a muscle under conditions of low glucose and low circulating glycogen.” Alex also shared how the environment is slowly distilling poison in us, and the factors we can control on a daily basis to mitigate it.
We also spoke about;
People have no conceptualization of how holistically whole their health is, they tend to have a compartmentalized attitude. Everything you do is connected and self-determined, so optimizing your hormones, insulin controlled living and exercising are all in your hands, not a doctor’s. The people who are living their best lives have taken personalized control of their health, and that’s the best approach. As you age, your body will change and you have to ask yourself these objective questions, what do you want your quality of life to be, and how optimal can you keep your health? Base all your methodologies on those two questions.

Outside of the UK, it’s pretty brutal for men to get hormonally optimized, and to even look into age management. What is the best way to go about getting the right help with TRT? Why is building muscle such a critical part of being healthy? Why does TRT work best when you’re actually exercising and taking good care of yourself? On this episode, we are joined by Michael Kocsis who shares on these topics, and on the work he’s doing.
You cannot see the benefits of hormone optimization if you don’t engage in some form of exercise. -Michael Kocsis
Takeaways
At the start of the show, we talked about the state of hormone optimization medicine in other parts of the world. We also talked about the importance of not just focusing on sickness. We also discussed why muscle is the greatest deterrent to aging diseases and the importance of putting fitness and TRT together.
We also discussed;
There are so many pitfalls of the socialized medical care system. A lot of the physicians put more focus on sickness than they do on wellness, and doctors would rather prescribe a chemical than natural testosterone. To beat these pitfalls, you have to take charge of your own health and find a doctor who really understands what you need. It’s also important that you eat right and workout so that you’re getting the full benefit of your work with hormone replacement therapy. When you get the sweat and endorphins going, the testosterone works that much better and it will help with recovery.

Most intermittent fasting gurus don’t know anything about training. What are the keys to training and fasting? What are the main benefits of the metabolic blowtorch diet? How does it impact your body’s disease resistance and give you better results? On this episode, Daniel Kelly’s back to share on his work on the Metabolic Blowtorch Diet, changing perspectives on testosterone and why being leaner is the secret to health.
Some diet programs are so focused on actual weight at the expense of skeletal muscle mass. -Daniel Kelly
Takeaways
At the start of the show, we talked about the decline of sperm production around the world, and how that is affecting global conception rates. Next we talked about why obesity is the world’s greatest disease and why people lose so much body fat when they do alternate fasting. Towards the end of the show, we spoke about how fasting reduces your inflammatory factors and why carbs are something you earn from exercise.
We also discussed;
What most people don’t realize is that they are reducing their calorie intake so much that it is affecting their metabolism and working against their health. You end up hating yourself, hating the diet and perpetuating bad habits. When you diet and train the right way, you’ll get leaner and it will be metabolically okay for you to slack on your training days, your body will be able to handle carbs more, you’re more sensitive to insulin, and your muscle works like a really great pump. If you build as much muscle as possible as you age, you’ll be more resistant to disease, and the diseases of aging cannot show up if a person is well-muscled.

Preventative medicine is always a rearview mirror practice. What are things we have learned about aging and hormones? What are the necessary tests needed to determine how optimized your health is? Why is it beneficial to stop being controlled by food? On this episode we are joined by the great Dr. Ted Achacoso, who provides valuable insights on these matters.
Medicine taught us that hormones decline because we age, but we actually age because hormones decline. -Dr. Ted Achacoso
Takeaways
At the start of the show, we talked about what conventional medicine got wrong about aging. Next, we talked about the tests Dr. Ted runs to optimize his patients. We also talked about how medical advancements have allowed us to learn more about the human body, down to the cellular level. Dr Ted also shared the importance of dialing in what and how you eat and towards the end of the show, we talked about metformin.
We also discussed;
Advancements in medicine and research have taught us that getting a control on hormones gives us a handle on aging, not the other way round. By keeping track of food sensitivity, micronutrient and hormone levels and testing for gut barrier integrity, people can have a better understanding of what we need to dial in to stay optimized. The goal is to get so addicted to the feeling of wellness that you know when you’re off kilter.

Metformin is one of the oldest and most studied drugs on earth, but a lot of people in the medical community are still hesitant to prescribe it. What are the benefits of this drug for people with different health problems and needs? What does it do for weight, insulin levels and high blood sugar? Does it make people hypoglycemic? On this episode, Dr Nelson Vergel gives a presentation on different studies of metformin and why it’s a great drug to use.
Testosterone-metformin combination therapy decreased total and LDL cholesterol, uric acid, hsCRP, homocysteine and fibrinogen, and it increased plasma testosterone. -Dr. Nelson Vergel
Three Takeaways
At the start of the show, we talked about why metformin is such a hot topic right now, and Dr. Nelson began his lecture on metformin, starting with its history, benefits and some of the reasons why it causes patients to lose weight. We also discussed its benefit for people with cancer, and overweight people. Towards the end of the show we talked about what people get wrong about the ketogenic diet.
We also discussed;
Metformin is a hot topic right now, and with good reason. It has a lot of benefits, it is affordable and it has a great many studies backing it up. It dilates vessels, it decreases insulin and blood sugar, it improves metabolism of glucose, cardiovascular protection and it also decreases weight and lipids. Testosterone and metformin work very well together when it comes to body composition and inflammation. Metformin has also shown an ability to increase lifespan for people with cancer, and it helps people with HIV a great deal. There no risks with metformin unless you have some sort of renal issue, or take a drug with a contra-reaction. If you’re going to start taking, it start low, and go slow.

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
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;
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.

As a species, men are 33 years from having no say in the population dynamics of this world. How can changes be made on a macro level to change the path we’re on? How are women being affected by modernization and contraception? What is synthetic estrogen doing to our environment? On this episode, we are joined by Dr. Aaron Grossman and we discuss these insights.
We’re about to have a very uncomfortable conversation on a mass level about what our choices as humans have done to the environment and the direct effect it has on us. - Dr. Aaron Grossman
Takeaways
At the start of the show, Aaron gave us an update on chekd.com and trends he’s noticing with patients. Next we talked about the alarming study that said men are rapidly losing their ability to be productive. We also discussed how contraception is negatively affecting women, and towards the end of the show we talked about when you should start considering testosterone.
We also discussed;
Because of our environments and habits, men are rapidly losing their ability to be productive and women are experiencing menopause way too early. All the choices we’ve made have led us to where we are, and it’s important to understand that if something isn’t organic, it will have a macro effect on our health and the health of future generations. We have to remember, there really is no one size fits all approach, you really have to optimize based on what works for you. You only have one vessel, so guard the best version of you.

Our routines are making us smarter and dumber at the same time. How can we challenge our brains to stay sharp and focused? How do you stimulate BDNF? How do you optimize your ketogenic dieting so that you get the very best out of it? On this clip, we are joined by supplement expert, Shawn Wells who shares on what we need to become highly productive.
Having the ability to focus and filter out what’s not useful, and channel the best of your abilities to something is where you are highly productive. -Shawn Wells
Three Takeaways
At the start of the show, Shawn shared how he got started and we shared on the benefits of theacrine, and why it is way better than caffeine. Next we talked about BDNF and its role in improving nerve signaling. We also talked about why multitasking is a trap, and how to become more productive. We also talked about alcohol, and the right type to drink to maintain health. Towards the end of the show, we talked about the relationship between chronic diseases and blood glucose levels.
Shawn also shared on;
BDNF doesn’t just protect existing neurons and improve the functioning of nerve signaling, it stimulates & creates new ones. We get more BDNF by challenging our brains to learn new things and working on maintaining our fluid intelligence. It’s also important to feed our brains and bodies the ingredients that bring out the best in us like theacrine. Even though caffeine is powerful, it can become so addictive we need it to just function at a basic level. When you put care into what you put into your body, you will see incredible results.

The current healthcare system isn’t patient-focused, it’s revenue-focused. How is this current model putting patients at a disadvantage? What much-needed changes can be brought to medicine to make things better, and what kind of doctors do we need to fulfill this? On this episode, Dr Merrill Matschke shares on his transition out of the modern medical system.
True doctoring takes time, but there’s gotta be true compassion and true interest. -Dr. Merrill Matschke
Takeaways
At the start of the show, Dr. Merrill shared why he’s transitioning out of traditional medicine, and how he got into cenegenics. He also talked about the current issues with traditional medicine and what is needed to solve them. Next we discussed the two-tiered medical system, and what it will take for people to finally take their health seriously.
We also spoke about;
In the current state of healthcare, patients aren’t getting enough time with the doctor for them to be helped. The future of medicine is having doctors who care, who want to work with patients on an individual basis in the amount of time necessary to help them. Additionally, people have to take personal responsibility for their health to counter the biological assault being caused by our lifestyles. Without this we will continue to see a decline in health.

Propaganda has been weaponized to affect the mindsets of certain communities. How do we rise above this and connect with our own truth? How does living a positive life influence other people? Why is being fit a form of rebellion against the system? On this episode, Tobi Abegunde talks about how he turned his life around, and how he pursues his truth.
I look at fitness as a scaffolding for my life. Once you have the discipline and the scaffolding, you don’t want to lose it. -Tobi Abegunde

What are the benefits of compound movements when it comes to working out? How does optimization give you better balance in your life?

Testosterone helps you to make the most out of your life, and it can be instrumental in helping you see life on a more esoteric level. In life, there will always be duality and parity - and seeing pain as a gift will help you bounce back from challenges and difficulties. Everything in life is about being balanced, incredibly introspective and having a ruthless focus on specific areas of your life to get you where you want to go. Balance will give you more composure.

Our goal as a society is to build a firm foundation for our health and it starts with how you think. Things like mindfulness, inflammation control, nutrition, detoxification, sleep, exercise and total hormone balance are incredibly important.

The body has an unlimited potential to heal itself, and this is what we have to lean on.

It might just be one simple lifestyle change you need to make to improve your sleeping schedule, however you will start to feel the effects instantly.

In this episode, we sit down with George Cordova to talk about the power of a positive mindset and making it big in business with small steps.

Not everyone has the fortune of having a good start in life. Your childhood doesn't define you. Even if you haven't had a good role model at a young age, you can always look to become one yourself. Focus on your own personal strengths and on what makes YOU happy. Learn from your failures as well as your successes. Surround yourself with people who will motivate you, not ones who will try to discourage you at every step. Finally, focus on what's happening in the now. Improve your current situation, hold on to your values in the present day and that will make tomorrow much easier. Personal and professional successes are dependent on your own values, so as long as you uphold these and follow your beliefs, you will succeed.

Obesity is now a widespread global epidemic. How do you take the first steps towards weight loss? What are the main things to consider when you're trying to live a healthier lifestyle? Does having kids really mean you can never diet? In this episode, weight loss coach Mitch Calvert answers all these questions, share his own story, and gives professional tried-and-tested advice and much more.
I eat now to fuel my body, which is a good thing - it has created a much better person in the end. - Mitch Calvert

In this episode, we also talked about;
Weight loss is never an easy journey to set yourself on. Finding the right motivator is key in a successful transition to a healthier lifestyle. Your family and friends can help with that, however the change needs to come within YOU. Trick yourself into dieting and exercise, don't fall into temptation and the results will come soon enough. A good physician will know how to advise you on this, especially if your hormone levels are off. Mood-enhancing or weight loss medicine isn't always the answer - sometimes a bottle of testosterone can fix all the problems you've had until that point. Educate yourself and realize the need for a better, healthier lifestyle and that will help not just your body but your mind, too.
