From the cleaning products we use to our food and air, our daily lives are filled with exposure to harmful chemicals that can wreak havoc on our health.
Today, we explore how these invisible threats impact your well-being and what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones from their dangers. Dr. Paul shares his personal journey from being an overweight, unhealthy ER doctor to a leading voice in the fight against toxins.
We are talking about the true impact of toxins on testosterone levels and the risk of chronic diseases, the myth of commercial detox programs, and the revolutionary PlasmaXchange therapy that can remove almost every toxin from the body. We’ll also discuss my toxin test results to show you why getting tested is crucial.

Many men think yoga is primarily for women because most participants are female, and classes often cater to women's needs. My guest, Dean Pohlman, explains that men and women have different flexibility requirements, making traditional yoga more challenging for men. However, yoga has evolved to include elements like British gymnastics, making it more accessible for everyone.
Dean, founder of Man Flow Yoga, shares his journey into men’s yoga and how it transformed his approach to fitness by improving his flexibility, core strength, and body awareness. He addresses other common misconceptions, such as yoga for men being too spiritual or not physically challenging enough.
Dean explains how men’s yoga workouts can be adapted to meet their specific physical needs, with a focus on balance, posture, and injury prevention yoga. He emphasizes the lifelong benefits of yoga, not only for increasing strength and flexibility but also for overall well-being, particularly for men over 40.
You'll learn how morning yoga flow can relieve common issues like lower back pain, knee pain, and shoulder stiffness. Dean also highlights how strength-focused yoga helps build core and hip strength to reduce strain on overworked joints.
If you're ready to build strength, balance, and overall fitness, tune in to this episode and discover how Man Flow Yoga can help men over 40 stay active, pain-free, and in peak physical condition.

The "dad bod" has gained popularity as a relatable and attainable body type for men, especially fathers, who lack the time or energy to maintain a toned physique. While often embraced as a symbol of comfort or a badge of honor, my guest, Dane Palarino, opines that it is a destructive myth that normalizes unhealthy habits, poor health, and low energy.
Dane, the founder of Dad Bod Sculptors, shares his journey as a successful entrepreneur who faced a major turning point when he realized his health was deteriorating. He had to make a change, not just for himself, but for his family.
He shares how accountability and the right mindset were crucial in his transformation and how finding a coach can provide the guidance and structure many men over 40 need to stay on track with their fitness goals. Dane explains how setting daily non-negotiables helped him become a better husband, father, and leader.

Are you stuck in the fat-burning zone but still not seeing results? Many people think burning fat during exercise equals fat loss, but the truth is more complex.
In today’s episode, we’ll discuss the difference between fat burning and fat loss—and why understanding this can transform your fitness journey. We’ll debunk the common myth that staying in a low-intensity "fat-burning zone" is the best way to lose fat. You’ll understand why your body burning fat doesn’t necessarily translate into fat loss.
We’ll also discuss how your body uses calories for energy, how to track your caloric intake and burn, and the importance of quality nutrition in maintaining a calorie deficit. I also highlight the dangers of restrictive diets and share efficient ways to burn calories throughout the day.
I address the widespread myth of targeting belly fat and offer a comprehensive fat-loss approach, combined with regular monitoring of body composition and overall progress, which is far more effective than belly fat exercises.
So, whether you’re struggling with stubborn belly fat or looking to kickstart your fat-loss journey, this episode is packed with actionable insights that will help you create a sustainable daily routine for lasting fat loss. Tune in to learn how to optimize your workouts, nutrition, and lifestyle for better results.

In 2021, over 38 million Americans (11.6% of the population) had diabetes, mostly type 2, while 97.6 million adults had prediabetes, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. Although millions of new cases are diagnosed yearly, particularly in those over 45, the condition is often reversible with lifestyle changes.
In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the severe health risks associated with untreated diabetes and the need not only to understand and manage diabetes but also to take proactive steps to reverse it by adopting healthier habits. I’ll share my journey of helping my father control the condition, which has led to significant improvements in blood sugar levels.
Additionally, we’ll discuss three common dietary mistakes many people with diabetes make and the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management, and sufficient sleep, in controlling blood sugar levels.
If you or someone you know is dealing with type 2 diabetes, listen to the episode and check out our diabetes program to learn how you can potentially reverse diabetes rather than just manage it.

The Lancet Commission on Prostate Cancer projects that annual global cases will double from 1.4 million in 2020 to 2.9 million by 2040. Additionally, annual deaths from prostate cancer are projected to increase by 85%—from 375,000 in 2020 to nearly 700,000 by 2040.
These statistics are part of the reason why I did a coaching call in the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood specifically addressing prostate cancer. Today's podcast episode is based on that coaching call. I’ll share my experience and the reasons for getting a PSA test.
We’ll talk about the importance of early detection, regular PSA testing, and how to interpret PSA levels. I’ll also introduce you to the Prostate Power Program, which I co-developed with fitness icon Clark Bartram to help men navigate prostate health challenges.
In addition, I mention seven foods beneficial for prostate health and tips for incorporating these foods into your daily diet.
Given the inevitable global surge in prostate cancer for men in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, you need to check your prostate health now. Listen to the episode to learn how to implement proactive measures and reduce your risk of prostate cancer.

Studies have shown that controlled breathing strengthens the respiratory muscles and increases lung capacity. Deep breathing improves cognitive functions and testosterone levels, which decline as men age. Breathwork has additional physiological and mental benefits that we will discuss in this episode.
I’ll share my experience with breathwork, including how power breathing techniques helped me recover from cryptogenic organizing pneumonia that had me on a deathbed. I’ll explain the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how breathwork can help activate the body's natural parasympathetic response.
We’ll focus on diaphragmatic and deep breathing techniques and their benefits. I will also provide practical tips on incorporating these breathing techniques into your daily routine. However, the best way to learn and implement breathwork properly is through guided breathing sessions.
My 21-day breathwork program will help you implement breathing techniques consistently for optimal health and recovery. Tune in to learn the full benefits of breathwork and for further details on the breathwork program.
