Fret not, Funk has prepped up these 10 commandments to guide you and help you from falling into the wrong routines that not only are ineffective but may also even cause you injury and serious harm.

Let's admit it. The alpha men need help. Yes, there's the mindset, nutrition, exercise, recovery, and sleep, but sometimes, there's also the supplementation. Today, we have Dr. Stephen Anton joining us to talk about the Alpha Max Test 3D, an all-natural testosterone booster. Dr. Stephen Anton is a Professor and Chief of Clinical Research in the Department of Aging and Geriatric Research at the University of Florida. He is a well-established expert on the role that lifestyle factors have in influencing obesity, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disease conditions. He co-authored the book, The Man Diet, a science-based guide to optimizing health and vitality for men. If you’re over 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 and are looking for the best supplement to help complete your overall health needs, tune in to find out what his recommendation is and why it’s the best you can take for your age.
“So many people are living with chronic stress that leads to elevated cortisol. When we stay in this chronic stress, that decreases the ability of the body to create testosterone and keep the testosterone levels lower than they need to be.”
—Dr. Stephen Anton


In This Episode:
How men's testosterone levels are different today from 2 decades ago
What led Dr. Anton into the field of research, especially on the study of the best supplement for men over 40

Here’s another alpha episode that I wish to share with the brotherhood. It’s a classic story we all can relate to because, at one point in time, we’ve been through it and overcame it. Joining me is one of our brothers, Paul Proctor, who’ll be sharing an alpha success story that is close to my heart. It’s his story of redemption and survival, a story of losing hope in life and faith in himself, and the journey he has taken to find them again. It’s a story of courage and strength, of starting over and coming out better, wiser, and stronger like a typical alpha should. At the end of this episode, you’ll come to realize that, truly, what didn’t kill you will only make you stronger.

“I never trained at a gym to look good, I always trained in the gym for a reason.” —Paul Proctor


In This Episode:
- Behind every championship is an athlete who struggled, who trained hard, and sacrificed so much just to bring honor. Beyond that, here’s a horror story you’d wish to never hear
- Find out how a young man in his 20s lost the sport his life revolved on, what happened to his body after that loss, and how he struggled to get back up for another shot
- Realize how your “comfort zone” could be stealing your life away, slowly, without even realizing it and how to snap out of it before it gets too late
-Understand what happens to the human brain after constantly being fed with s**
- Learn how Paul regained everything he’s lost and how a chance encounter with the $1 offer to become a part of a brotherhood changed his life, for good
-This should be the only reason why you work on your health and nutrition, why you go to the gym, and why you get into a relationship…

When we talk about men’s health, we readily conclude it’s the current state of their physical, mental, and emotional conditions.

He explains why a comprehensive approach is necessary to achieve high performance and address erectile dysfunction for the long term.

“There are lots of potential causes of ED and TESTOSTERONE can play a BIG part there. You need healthy, optimal hormone levels to achieve a good erection.” —Dr. Tracy Gapin

In This Episode:
-Explore the 2 different approaches in addressing erectile dysfunction and find out which approach is more beneficial to the alpha male.
-Understand how erectile dysfunction can impact men’s overall health and how the proactive, comprehensive approach can improve sexual performance and sexual health.

Wednesday November 17 is Testosterone Awareness Day brought to you by Funk Roberts and Over 40 Alpha.

As we anticipate the first-ever World Testosterone Awareness Day celebration happening on November 17, Funk presents another episode of the testosterone series. We often hear people say, “ignorance is bliss,” or “what you don’t know can’t hurt you”. But when it comes to ignorance about the role of testosterone in men, that is an entirely different story. As a matter of fact, it can be such a tragic story because, without testosterone, men can never be who they wish to become. Once and for all, have a better understanding of what testosterone is, what benefits it has to offer to mankind, and how to boost testosterone production for optimal benefits.

“We are in a pandemic of low amounts of testosterone and millions of men are clueless about the benefits of testosterone.” —Funk Roberts

In This Episode:
- Learn exactly how much testosterone has declined from the past 30 years versus how much estrogen levels have increased in men, and why these statistics are quite alarming.
- Identify the correlation between low testosterone and the struggles that men in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond are currently facing.
- Understand the difference between the number of bioavailable testosterone from testosterone that is not free or non-bioavailable.
- Figure out the disconnect between losing fat and weight to getting healthy, and building muscles and testosterone.
- Determine the amount of testosterone level men should be striving for and the natural ways to boost and maintain it.
- Understand the flow of testosterone production and the 7 major reasons why men need to increase their testosterone levels.

We’re always putting a lot of stress on the T-word in previous episodes, but we never seem to get the emphasis across - or at least, not as strong as we need to. To all the men out there, especially those who are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, your TESTOSTERONE is KEY if you want to keep on being the ALPHA male that you are. If you want to live on with your mental, emotional, and physical health in tip-top shape, you need to keep that testosterone level from declining. To do that, you have to recognize the early signs that tell you when it’s in a normal ratio against your estrogen level or when it’s critically low. Listen in to find out what those signs are and what you can do to naturally reverse the numbers before they start becoming a threat to your manhood.

“Testosterone means you are going to be the man you were put on this earth to be: to provide, to protect, to procreate.” —Funk Roberts

In This Episode:
- Uncover the reason that’s keeping you from hitting your weight goals despite all the efforts you’re putting in with your workout.
- Why testosterone earned a terrible reputation this 2021 and the truth that men have to pay attention to, instead.
- Adverse effects of low testosterone levels that are causing men who are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s to feel helpless and less of a man.
- The kind of diet and lifestyle recommended for the alpha male to naturally increase their testosterone levels.
- Understand the role of aromatase in the decline of testosterone levels and how aromatase inhibitors are activated to suppress this decline.
- Bonus: A phenomenal event happening on November 16 that is sure to get the alpha brotherhood reeling with excitement!

If you’re wondering why you’re not getting results, maybe it’s because you’re eating foods that you should be avoiding – food that’s killing your testosterone. And we know that everything that we men want, whether it’s burning belly fat, increasing energy, improving your nervous system, better libido, more comfort, or whatever it is, comes from our testosterone levels. So today, I’m going to reveal the ten foods men over 40 should avoid.

“You can’t outsmart a bad diet.” - Funk Roberts

In this episode:
