Welcome to the latest Midlife Minute.

Today, we’re exploring the benefits of creatine monohydrate, essential aminos, grass-fed beef liver, and Yolked (fortotropin). I explain how these products work together, the importance of resistance training and hormone optimization as foundational factors in midlife, and how supplements fit in.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:



The benefits of using creatine monohydrate when training




The value of essential aminos for muscle protein synthesis and reducing protein breakdown




The nutrients provided by grass-fed beef liver




What research suggests about how Yolked may relate to myostatin modulation, muscle hypertrophy pathways, and growth factor signaling




Why I recommend using creatine, essential aminos, beef liver, and Yolked together as a stacked approach




Why resistance exercise remains the primary signal for muscle growth




The importance of hormone optimization for energy, muscle building, executive function, motivation, and recovery
