Summary

If you’re a man over 35 looking for a simple, effective and personalized plan to help you look, feel and perform better than you did in your 20s, head to https://muscleintelligence.com/mipapply to learn more about our upcoming programs.

The high performers I work with aim to not only optimize their lives around training, nutrition, and business, but also around their relationships. Our personal relationships play a huge role in quality of life, output, and ultimately, success.

Today's interview with human behavior and relationship expert Alison Armstrong dives deep into how our biology influences decision making, the hormonal differences that manifest in behavior, and the MOST important things for men and women to be aware of in one another.

Alison Armstrong is a sought-after speaker and thought-leader amongst people with the desire to live empowered lives. Her philosophy and approach are referenced and taught by other authors, speakers, business consultants and therapists.

Alison’s exploration of human behavior began in 1991, with her decision to study men: “To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best.” Her success in understanding men naturally led to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two. As her work has evolved, Alison now illuminates human characteristics that precede and express themselves regardless of gender, age and upbringing.

You'll learn:

How Human Biology Impacts your Decision Making
Personal Development Tools to Strengthen Relationships
The Hormonal Differences that Affect Behavior in Men & Women

0:14.7	organized for that, and the brain naturally screens out everything that's irrelevant to whatever that focuses.
0:22.9	And this is one of the things that causes a lot of trouble between men and women.

0:52.3	I work with a lot of professional athletes, I work with high-end executives, entrepreneurs, really anyone who wants to push their physical

1:26.8	these guys will come to me and say,
1:27.9	you know, man, I wish my relationship was better. I wish I could feel more connected to my wife.
1:31.6	I wish maybe, or my partner, and I wish maybe that we had a little bit more connection
