This podcast is about hormones and aging, and specifically, how much hormones affect body composition as you get older.

In it, I\u2019ll go through the most important hormones as they relate to body composition, how they change as we get older, and what we can do to maintain optimal hormone profiles relevant to our age.

There\u2019s no question that we can\u2019t maintain as optimal a hormone profile at 45 as we can at 25, but as you\u2019ll learn here, we can still maintain good enough hormones to gain muscle, lose fat, stay lean and fit, and feel great.

The idea that our hormones crate as we get older and make it impossible to get and stay fit is very discouraging to many people. The good news is that\u2019s mostly untrue. If we\u2019re willing to do a few things consistently and do them well, we can keep our hormones in very healthy and effective ranges.

Listen to this podcast to learn about hormones and how they affect body composition, especially as we age.
