Anti-Aging Interventions, TRT, Cortisol,...

BEN PAKULSKI
About this episode

Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy really a one-size-fits-all treatment?  How can you stabilize cortisol levels?  We cover it ALL in this episode.  In addition to a deep dive on hormonal health, you’ll also get a comprehensive look at cutting-edge longevity practices, and the big levers to repair a broken metabolism.

Today’s guest, Dr. Kyle Gillett, is an M.D. who emphasizes evidence-based treatment medicine, and who believes each patient should be treated holistically.  Dr. Gillett utilizes shared decision-making, and a patient-centered approach to meet the needs of each individual’s body, mind, and soul.

You’ll learn:

  • Common mistakes made in TRT regiments.
  • Six BIG lifestyle interventions that can be immediately implemented.
  • What defines cellular aging, and what you can do to optimize cellular health.
  • How to balance thyroid and adrenal hormones (plus…a debunk on cortisol confusion).
  • A protocol to repair a broken metabolism.

If I have to convince you to prioritize your health, Muscle Intelligence coaching isn’t for you…. If I have to convince you that the best investment you can make is in yourself…. That being fit is not a temporary decision, but a commitment…. That it’s not about MORE or what you do, it’s about BETTER and how you do it...  Or that your physical health impacts all areas of your life, keep scrolling.

I’m not in the business of convincing anyone.  I’m in the business of transformation.

The individuals who come to us are already high-performers.  They’re committed. Ready.

Don’t get me wrong - These guys come with challenges too. They typically have limited time to train, injuries, no gym access, busy families, no customized plans, no specific training knowledge, no coach and an inner fear that it’s going to be too hard.

But here’s the tough love you need to hear:  The only difference between these guys and YOU… is that they took action. They stepped in the ring anyway.

I’m looking for a few more men who want to transform in 2022. If you’re serious and you’re committed, I’d love to see if you’re a right fit for a program I’m starting in 2022.  Apply now at https://go.muscleintelligence.com/coaching-application/
