Author: Funk Roberts February 4, 2023 Duration: 1:00:59
When men over 40 want to change their habits, they start strong. They go to the gym and commit to losing weight. But then they end up falling off, quitting, and not getting the expected results. This happens because they make specific mistakes. I also made these mistakes while struggling to burn my belly fat. Today I will share with you the characteristics of those mistakes and how to prevent them from derailing your goals.
The most important thing about your nutritional plan and exercise routine is that they must be sustainable. You want to eat the same thing now until the end of your life. Or, at least, for five years. You want to follow a simple diet. You want a nutritional lifestyle that you can implement into your life. And to achieve sustainability, balance is critical.
In this episode, you will learn how to eat, exercise and sleep to support your body over 40. My recommendations will help you build muscle, have more brain power, increase your testosterone level, and feed your thyroid. This will inspire you to care for your body, kingdom, and whole self. Let's go.

“You’ve got to follow a plan that’s gonna help with your testosterone, it’s gonna help bounce your hormones, it’s gonna help decrease estrogen, it’s gonna help increase your metabolism by eating foods that are gonna support your thyroid.” —Funk Roberts
