Strong By Design Podcast

Men, the ‘Real Reason’ you’re getting fatter, struggling to build muscle, constantly tired and you can’t get aroused.

By the time you hit 35, your testosterone production naturally drops by 25%.

Coach Chris Wilson and Tonya Fines share the mic in today’s episode to speak openly, honestly and passionately about how men can naturally boost T levels.

The 24-Hour Testosterone Fix is a blueprint for men at any age to begin fixing their broken T levels. Whether it’s a lack of sleep, over consumption of processed foods or drinking down energy drinks just to feel awake…. men have more control than they think to begin optimizing their natural testosterone production.

Find out ways to have more energy, slow down the aging process, increase sex drive and boost those T-levels just by changing your lifestyle.

“In your 30's or 40's you might still have plenty of that natural testosterone in your body but because of your diet, because of your lifestyle you might be actually elevating those estrogen levels..."
“You can fix YOU! Your body is an amazing creation and if you treat it the right way, you can overcome a lot of things."

-Chris Wilson

Ep 58 Save Your Marriage with Todd & Allison Kuslikis May 15, 2019

Show notes

Todd & Allison had it all but overtime things slowly took a turn for the worse... and it left them on the edge of divorce, nearly shutting down their multi-million dollar business. But that all changed after God intervened.

Tune in to this Strong By Design episode as co-host Brian Klepacki sat down with Todd & Allison Kuslikis in San Diego and talked about all things from muscle building to marriage healing.

The pair are now teachers at the School of Kingdom Coaching helping others realign their marriages so husbands and wives can experience the more abundant life as Jesus promised in John 10:10b.

They also equip other Christians to be used by the Holy Spirit to bring freedom and transformation to people’s lives. Todd and Allison have been married for 7 ½ years and live with their four children in Grand Rapids, MI.

"I think the reason people are blind to these issues is they just don't know about them, they're intertwined with the world and they're seeking after things of the world but Jesus says to set your mind on things above.."
"..A lot of things in their past are now dictating their future, things that they're struggling with, it's really a process of uncovering, it's like digging deeper and deeper, instead of addressing just the superficial things.."
