If you’re in your 40s or 50s and you think it’s too late to be losing weight or gaining more muscles – hopefully, today’s guest, Howard Aaron, will give you that extra kick that you need today. In today’s conversation, Howard talks about how you can achieve optimal health through nutrition, lifting weights, and supplementation. Howard also gives his insights into testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which is becoming popular nowadays, and why he thinks it could actually trigger your system to shut down. Turning 70 years old this year, Howard is a competitive bench press champion with 4 world records to his credit; and he is benching more now than he did 30 years ago. And for those that don't think it's possible, Howard is here to tell you that it is! It's just a question of how you want to live and what your goals are.

You can hold muscle... but you have to live a certain lifestyle." "You get stronger when you know you feel stronger, and you feel stronger when it seems like the body is moving a little bit easier." “How people view food makes or breaks the success of somebody getting healthier.” "Food is fuel for your body. The better the fuel, the better you're going to run. The worse the fuel, the worse you're going to run.
