MAN ALIVE with Dr Jeff Foster | Men's Health Podcast

Show Notes

Alex Beevis is a best-selling author (Realistic & Sustainable: A Guide To Permanent Weight Loss) and specialist fat loss expert for men over 40 years old. Alex joined leading men’s health specialist Dr Jeff Foster in the Man Alive studio to destroy the myths that hold men over 40 back from being the fittest they ever have been. Often middle-aged men think that they have to commit to an intensive bootcamp or an unrealistic diet to make significant health changes, but what if there were realistic and sustainable things men could do that would have lasting impact on their health and wellbeing? In this episode, we learn how men over 40 can train for overall health, Alex’s emotional moment when he realised he needed to change, the thing men can start doing today to begin the process of focusing on their health more, what men need to focus on to avoid frailty down the line, Alex’s opinion of Bryan Johnson’s longevity efforts, and much more… - Timestamps: 00:00 MAN ALIVE Minute 01:38 Misconceptions of Health Over 40 05:05 The First Step to Take Control of Your Health 08:00 Alex’s Oldest Clients 09:51 Thoughts on Bryan Johnson & Longevity 14:05 Top Three Ways to Reduce Belly Fat 17:11 How Important Are Running & Walking? 21:33 Being Safe While Training Over 40 23:43 Differences Between Training At 40 vs 20 26:05 Underrated Exercises for Men Over 40 28:16 Most Effective Warmups 31:32 Impact of Low Testosterone on Training 35:17 Men’s Biggest Obstacle to Getting Fitter 38:20 The Moment Men Think More About Health 43:14 Is It Ever Too Late to Take Control of Your Health? 44:40 Alex’s One Message to Men Over 40 46:14 Where to Find Alex -
