Summary
Behold the dadbod. How did we get this way? The stubborn belly fat that doesn't go away no matter how hard we work. The muscle mass that's harder to maintain than it used to be. We don't have the same energy and stamina we used to. Maybe things have even cooled off in the bedroom.
Alex Van Houten is the founder of Defining Dadbod. He's going to talk about how our chemistry changes after we become fathers and how to define the dadbod by optimizing our male hormones for fat loss, energy, and libido.
