Show notes
In today's era, where most men, especially the youth, only know how to eliminate fat, where they should be building muscle and focusing on their testosterone levels, there is a lot of misinformation spread around. In today's episode, Ali, the queen of men's health, shares her amazing insights about the health benefits of building muscles and how to optimize their testosterone. Also, she will give us true information about cholesterol and TRT.
Ali helps busy men get jacked, look great naked, optimize testosterone, and conquer nutrition by providing structure and a plan that works for their lifestyle. She has coached thousands of attorneys, doctors, other coaches, CEOs, executives, veterans, current military, and any dude looking to optimize their health.
Key Highlights:
[00:01 - 11:56] Focus On Adding Muscle, Not Losing It
● Ali explains that people have different ideas about what they want to look like when they build muscle.
● We focus too much on losing body weight and not enough on adding muscle, making us more resistant to osteoporosis, metabolic diseases, and other diseases.
● The goal is to grow muscle, not look sloppy, and end up with good body composition.
● Almost everyone has a genetic potential to gain muscle that can carry them into their elder years, making them more resistant to osteoporosis, metabolic diseases, and other illnesses.
[11:56 - 15:45] The Rate of Muscle Decline, Accelerates as We Get Older
● A healthy body fat range is unknown, and having more muscle tissue does not burn more calories at rest but rather more calories in motion.
● Having more muscle tissue helps us burn more calories and become more sensitive to glucose, reducing our risk of diabetes.
● The more muscle mass we have, the healthier bones and muscles will be.
[15:45 - 24:03] Closing Segment
● A large muscle mass doesn't necessarily burn more calories at rest, but when you move, you burn more calories from glycogen, carbohydrates, and other sources.
● Ali talks about The Silverback Summit, which was created to create a safe environment for men to talk about anything and not be judged.

"If somebody says, I wanna get jacked, what does that mean to you? Because to me, it's a whole different definition." - Ali Gilbert
