Summary

Host Brad Kearns talks about the all-important topic of testosterone optimization—preserving health, vitality, focus, and motivation as we age.

Male hormone status is a slippery slope because when you start to accumulate a bit of a spare tire, testosterone can decline at an accelerated rate. This begets the accumulation of more spare tire, and more decline in testosterone. It’s time to fight the battle against accelerated aging! Accordingly, Brad has created the “MOFO Mission,” (more at BradKearns.com) a series of 10 assignments designed to cover all aspects of healthy living to be the best you can be. This show covers the first five assignments, so get ready to take simple, sustainable action toward naturally boosting your internal testosterone production. Here are the first five assignments: Prioritize sleep, Clean up your act (mostly food, but also other stuff), Eat ancestral foods, consider supplementation to replenish cellular energy, and move frequently at a slow pace. Part 2 will recover five additional assignments that will rock your world.

0:30.0	Let's have some fun in the sun and talk about testosterone on the phone, or at least on the podcast.
0:44.9	Yes, what a favorite and terribly important subject, especially for males as they pass the prime time of life, let's say up to age 30, where you're not too
0:57.2	worried about your male hormone status. And then as the years and decades accumulate, we want to
1:03.3	age gracefully. We want to maintain some of that fighting spirit, go out there and have fun,
1:09.0	being able to perform athletically, physically,
1:11.4	and not be on the couch recovering for days afterward. Keep that spare tire off the body,
1:17.1	still look pretty good, still feel good, still perform in and out of the arena, the bedroom,
1:22.6	everywhere. And that is highly dependent upon testosterone, the ultimate performance anti-aging hormone.
1:31.4	And as Ashley Merriman points out so beautifully in her research and her books like Top Dog,
1:39.6	The Science of Winning and Losing, our common notion of testosterone is a little bit narrow. We think of it as the
1:45.6	male aggression hormone and the guy who lifts the weights has more testosterone, but really it
1:52.7	should be better characterized as a social status hormone. So it enhances your peak performance,
2:00.8	both cognitive and physical, in whatever
2:03.3	endeavor you pursue. And so the main goal or the main function of testosterone is to elevate
