8 Golden Rules for Losing Fat & Building Muscle Over Age 40 | Bedros Keuilian 

If you get an annual exam, just request to have your testosterone checked. It's often standard to have this tested at least once a decade when you get older. I'm 60 and my total testosterone was at 618 ng/dL last November. These guys are both in such poor health considering the effort they put into optimizing their fitness and nutrition. Thomas said that his testosterone is in the 300s and he gets lethargic if he consumes 30 grams of carbs in the morning (outside his workout window). He seems to be glucose intolerant. Thomas recently interview Byran Johnson, then Bedros. You think he would start putting two and two together.

@@jakubchrobry3701 I mentioned it to my PCP last time, only because of watching these fitness influencers talk about it, but he kind of sloughed it off. I'm moving to a new state (this week actually!) so I will ask my next doctor to test it just for the knowledge. Thanks.

Dude! Thank you! Feel like I’m the only one pointing this out all the time. They don’t sound optimal, they sound sick! Heard Jordan Peterson state he tried eating a mandarin after being carnivore, and it almost killed him. Then touted how amazing carnivore is. Don’t sound good to me! Sounds like he’s way out of wack.

labcorp has mens test panel for $69 or full male blood work for $199 just walk in or book online

No one asked.

Right. I’m a 58 year old female. I’ve never trained professionally; I’ve made clean living my lifestyle. I’ve only supplemented a bit in the last 5 years or so- using natural minerals and proteins, collagen, etc. I’ve carried and naturally brought 7 children into the world. They’re all adults, and some have children. Aging is a nuanced chapter. As you said, every body is unique, and the journey is as personal as we persons are unique.

Bedros is in bad shape for a 49 year old. I don't have his problems and I'm 60. Steroids and an extremely high protein diet will do that to you.

@@jakubchrobry3701what? Lmfao

​@@jakubchrobry3701possible but it is what it is. We are not here for a long time so best to just live a happy life each day, then die quickly in our sleep with peace of mind the family will inherit the money. Awesome. Far too many people live to 80 but are weak, obese, poor, unhappy. That is not living a quality life, that is barely survival

​@jakubchrobry3701 your genetics =/= anyone else's. But whatever.

It's not really honest. The TRT and HGH are responsible for all this guy's progress. The other stuff is extremely minor.

54 here too. Always been natural but starting to feel a slight drop in test. Ain't got it checked though. Using LJ100, fenugreek and Turkesterone atm. Did you use a PCT after your cycles?

@@everready800 No need for PCT if you are on TRT. I would avoid anything that promises an increase in testosterone. Studies show they initially increase your T levels but you have to keep using them. Once you stop, your T levels actually have been shown to drop even lower. And with continued use of those supplements, your T levels also return to what they were before you started. There are things you can do naturally to increase your T such as losing fat, eating healthier but at some point, you will need TRT. Unless you are one of the lucky few.

@@steven_dekok Ohh that's true because it's not a cycle. I've cycled those supplements before. They don't offer huge changes tbh. I've upped my protein as I've gotten older. I have kept the fat off and my training is low rep strength training which it think is best for muscle retention. I've heard trtr can thinken your blood. Is it necessary to get your bloodwork done regularly on trt?

His face looks very tired.

Source his Podcasts, Fire.

incredibly honest except for his age.. He looks at least 60. And it is in his attitude is more like way over 50.

Sure but... not having the energy you used to... sucks. Nothing about cheating, just wanting to be functional and feel your best. Hard to critique if you aren't living through it.

And thickens the blood I believe.

Except he's not being honest with himself. Injecting growth hormone everyday is not "optimizing your health".

My exact thoughts 👏

I put a light black t-shirt over my eyes. Quicker lol

Nice to see older people being interviewed. I just turned 70. The struggle is real😞. Lucky to have reached this age and still be able to play on the floor with my grandbabies

I'm 54 too and been lifting since 17. Still natural. I do take LJ100, Fenugreek and Turkesterone.

Good point..Recovery is so important! I wonder if he'd need less growth hormone if he gave himself more of a rest period.

@@LunethAkumajo and that’s another great point. I don’t take any HRT so that’s why I need the recovery days. Thanks for the reply!

He is still abusing steroids, just not as much. Not a very good example.

Agree. To each their own. You do you. Millions are sick and obese. Billions of people are poor, or living paycheck to paycheck, divorced, hate their jobs, not happy with their spouse, leading a pathetic life. He is doing great and doesn't care what others think.

It shows on his face . 😩

​@elduderino1329 there is a difference between abusing steroids (pro bodybuilder levels) vs taking TRT to optimize your health

​@emh8861 Yeah blood pressure gotta be high.

Relative for your age? Age is an excuse

​@@oceanriccardsenescence is a reality. There is a reason you don't see geriatric Olympic athletes man.

@@grumpyoldman6503 no doubt, but most of what’s out there is unsubstantiated and highly questionable. 47 is not old age. Your mindset and nutrition (and good genetics of course) play a huge role. I now several people around that age and much older who are on the best shapes of their lives.

@kellynovak9956 Well, it's supposedly 30% off ANY 1st time order... nevermind using a DeLauer - or any other disct. code. And, yah - They do seem a bit manipulative in their marketing strategies. Not at all surprised the real discount is limited to $20. The free $90 in groceries with membership - is ONGOING - but once they think you may be a potential 'biter' - their marketing emails try to imply URGENCY (to join) - they start sending marketing emails, like 'LAST CHANCE for $90 in groceries, with membership!😮 Or, this...$90 in free groceries ends soon!(there is never an end date, because it's standard with membership - and not a promo that's gonna end. I KNOW bc I questioned these emails with them - there IS no end date on $90 free groceries. So...that's as deceptive as a 'buy now!...only ONE left(!) - marketing strategy. I've been toying with the prospect of joining - but have found that the $90 in free groceries - are not really 'groceries' (not in my mind anyway), it's a bunch of snacks that they've decided are worth $90 - haha (to me their 'healthy snacks' are not really 'food') AND 'groceries', to me, means REAL food - not packaged snack foods. I've been seeing a rising trend in the food industry and grocery suppliers moving more toward this idea of 'healthy snacks'. But what they are pushing as 'healthy snacks' are packaged, processed foods that may not be filled with preservatives and/or hidden sugars or, maybe just not laden with high fructose corn sugar. This, imo, does not make them 'healthy' - or even real food! They are STILL packaged, processed non-food 'foods' snacks. Whereas, a 'healthy' snack, imo, would be a fresh, non-processed REAL food, like an apple, pear, kiwi, organge...a bit of quality cheese, a glass of milk - handful of nuts, and the like. 😊

He knows what he is doing….capitalistic mind.

No one cares mate

​@@michaelkim4703 Cold as ice. 😂😂

@@michaelkim4703 you cared enough to comment. You ok Mike?

Im 50 and look younger, biologist, and I would not do half of it at all.

@@UsYoungAgain good for you. What I’ve learned is that every body is different. Learning what works for you and what doesn’t is key. No cookie cutter approaches. Just turns out, his approach is similar to what makes me look and feel my best. PS. I have a Doctorate degree and am a physician!

You didn’t know immediately that your bicep tendon was severed ? I’ve seen severed biceps, I even had one. I knew immediately. Not really painful though. I had mine surgically repaired. Never really the same or good as new. But at least looks normal.

@@mycowboyways915 oh I knew something was very wrong immediately, but I just didn't know what...felt like a hot knife stabbed me on the upper outside of the bicep. I took 2 weeks off from lifting, seeing my Orthopedist and having an MRI within that 2 weeks. After the MRI, I found out. I talked to another guy at the gym who assists in surgeries all day, he told me the operation to cut this tendon / ligament that they performed to relieve pain in some people, but they then reattach it to the bone. He told me they normally repair it in young men, but men my age, they just let it go...my Orthopedist told me the same thing. I was very fortunate in that I don't have any physical evidence (weird bump or the "Popeye Bicep") of the tear. Oddly enough, I've been lifting virtually pain free and heavier weights. I've started the BPC-157 injections twice a day, AM & PM...just on day 2...I understand it may take 1-2 weeks to feel any difference...we'll see.

Natty?

@@jeniferjohnson374Natty = Natural = Not enhanced = Not using exogenous hormones.

@@miked9621 thanks!

Especially last interviews with Dr Mike and Bedros, two guys very open about the use of special sports supplements

@dirkjefferson6202lol no. Once your off the gear, you’re off the gear. It’s not AIDS 😂😂😂

Yea it's crazy how it comes back. Things like steroids and trt permanently damage your testosterone production.

@@andrewcarlson2178 huh? there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

@CarpenterHunts ...anyone's guess 😮 -?? He did not mention the brand.

Check your free testosterone rather than total testosterone. Free testosterone is the one you can actually utilise.

use defense soap and help clean the mats
