Ever since my first podcast on peptides, I have been getting a lot of questions about them. And now, with weight loss peptides circulating the media showing celebrities using them, hearing about their side effects, but also hear they are effective…people are confused. Do we try them or not?

I am really excited to finally have a cardiologist on the show talk about cholesterol. I found Dr. Mohammed Alo while listening to the Simon Hill podcast and was very intrigued by what he said.

I am introducing to you something that you either never heard of, or don't know much about. And that's blood flow restriction training also known as BFR training. It sounds scary, restricting the flow of blood in your body. Why would you do that? Well, the list is long. I personally do it, because as we lose our estrogen with menopause, we find it so much harder to build muscle as we age. And it's...
