Why Women Need to Fast Differently Than Men Feb 12, 2024

Intermittent fasting—restricting your eating into a set block of time each day—has risen in popularity thanks to celebrities like Andrew Huberman and Mark Wahlberg. They claim that this practice improves weight loss, blood sugar markers, and brain health—just to name a few of the impressive longevity-boosting benefits.

There’s just one thing: many proponents of intermittent fasting are men. But intermittent fasting works differently depending on your sex, according to Cynthia Thurlow, N.P. Dialing into male-centered advice might not lead to the results you’re looking for.

On this episode of the Hone In with Saad Alam podcast, Thurlow explains why intuitive fasting—a type of time-restricted eating that's individually tailored to your goals, stress, hormones, and sleep—is optimal for women. She also explains how different hormonal states, like menopause and menstruation, can impact the effectiveness of intermittent fasting, exercise, and diet.

But what and when NOT to eat is only half the fun. Thurlow also shares what she adds to her grocery list to optimize her hormone health.

WE DISCUSS:

Why longer fasting produces greater benefits
The link between intermittent fasting and longevity
How intermittent fasting impacts your hormones
Why women and men should try different fasting protocols
How time-restricted eating may offset the negative effects of modern day lifestyles

6 steps to avoid a midlife CRISIS and live better AFTER 40 Jan 22, 2024

The punchline of any sitcom—a man going through a midlife crisis. He’s gained weight. Maybe he’s irritated and distant from his spouse. He spends money frivolously on sports cars and tech gadgets. And maybe he lacks the energy and motivation to engage in the hobbies he once enjoyed.

But the midlife crisis isn’t just a plot point or stereotype. Research shows that it’s a real, debilitating experience for nearly 20 percent of men over age 40 (x). According to Greg Scheinman, the creator of The Midlife Male, a weekly newsletter and podcast designed to help men navigate and maximize middle age, this shift in middle age mindset can be attributed to several factors, like hormone changes, lack of energy, and sky-high expectations for success.

On this episode of the Hone In podcast, host Saad Alam and Scheinman discuss their journies with midlife crises, including how testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) helped them get back on track. They also dive into strategies for reframing success personally and professionally, prioritizing happiness, and staying accountable.

Plus, why small daily wins—like kissing your spouse when you get up for work or swapping just one of your daily sodas for water—can make a huge difference in how you feel.

We Discuss:

-How your hormone health can contribute to midlife mental health

-When to reframe mistakes as successful failures

-How TRT improved Scheinman’s energy levels

-The importance of figuring out your daily bandwidth

-The secret to a healthy, long-term relationship

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

-How TRT can help men with low T break through a midlife crisis

-The “Six Fs” of living a balanced, successful life

-Small swaps that can improve your mental health

-The power of doing three personal and three professional tasks daily

-The one no-equipment-needed workout you need to stay fit and energized

The Health Issue No One Is Talking About—Until Now: Welcome to Hone In with Saad Alam Sep 12, 2023

Welcome to Hone In, the podcast that cuts through the noise to bring you actionable advice you can use to improve your health, today. Here, we believe in the power of open dialogue—a judgment-free zone where curiosity marries clarity. You'll find it's not just a podcast; it's a sanctuary where you can gather insights to live your best life. In our inaugural episode, meet your host, Saad Alam, the founder of Hone Health. Delve into Saad's personal journey with a health scare stemming from low testosterone—a condition too quickly dismissed by doctors as mere "normal aging." Unfortunately, his experience isn’t an isolated one. Many men resonate with such stories, faced with the challenge of an aging body, and the often-dismissive attitude of the medical community. However, the core belief driving "Hone In" is that while aging is inevitable, our approach to it can be transformative. Hone In is more than a podcast; it's an arsenal of tools, tips, and insights to deepen your understanding of both physical and mental health. With this knowledge, we empower you to make informed decisions about your wellbeing. The magic? It's not just in our content—it's in the brilliant minds we host. In upcoming episodes, you'll be privy to: Dr. Frank Lipman, a New York Times bestselling author and renowned health and longevity expert Sahil Bloom, an inspirational content creator who is deeply passionate about personal growth and spending your time wisely. Dr. Laura Purdy, a board-certified physician who bridges the gaps between psychology and sexual health. Charlie Curtis, a celebrity trainer who has built some of the fittest bodies in Hollywood. Join us on this enlightening journey—a promise of genuine conversations, priceless insights, and perhaps a sprinkle of fun. Welcome to Hone In. ABOUT HONE HEALTH: https://honehealth.com/
