Welcome to today's show. We have a very, very special guest today, somebody who has returned to the show, Dr Craig Conover.

Craig is known in many of the circles that I, well I don't want to say the circles I run with and try to come off chummy,

but the people that I look up to, let me put it that way, a lot of the people that I look up to from

Ben Greenfield to of course my brother and dear friend Aubrey Marcus, but right when I first got to on it about three years ago,

I was talking to Aubrey about functional medicine doctors and he brought up Dr.

Greg Conover's name and I hadn't heard of him and he said well Ben's

So I really wanted to take a deeper dive into all things optimization.

And the conversation that I had briefly with him before

was around hormone optimization, but we really take a deep dive into this.

We talk about TRT, we talk about peptides and all the new cool

shit that's coming out in addition to SARMS, which are selective androgen receptor modulators.

Pretty much what you would consider to be performance enhancing drugs.

There's a good chunk of the conversation that's around that.

And if you're not a professional athlete, this is definitely something you want to listen to.

If you are a professional athlete, this is still something you want to listen to because post-career,

you're going to have some bumps and bruises and some tick-tech injuries that a lot of this stuff can help you with and he's just got a wealth of knowledge and of course
