178_Next Level Testosterone Optimization with Gil Tal

Are you feeling beat down, tired, lethargic, moody, have brain fog, aching joints, low libido, and have a hard time recovering from exercise?   How do we know if this is just the aging process in action or something more serious, like hormonal imbalances?   In today’s episode of The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I catch up with Gil Tal, a clinician specializing in hormones and men's sexual function.   In this conversation we discuss:   When it makes sense to get blood work run to assess hormonal function and how to know which labs to run The difference between reduced testosterone from aging and/or from our environment and lifestyle The role sleep and alcohol play in healthy hormone production And we dive into the timely nature of weight loss drugs like semaglutide and if and when its appropriate for use and how medical weight loss drugs should be supported by healthy and long-term behavior change   If you’re a man in your 30s, 40’s, 50s, or 60’s concerned about possibly having symptoms of low testosterone or the wife of a man who you think might be silently suffering, then this episode is for you.   As always, if you like what you hear on the show, then do me a favor and give us a 5-star rating and review so we can help more people make smart nutrition simple.   AND, if you want to talk about working with me personally, I’d love to chat, just schedule your free nutrition strategy call over at https://www.bslnutrition.com/free-strategy-call/   Connect with Gil: https://elevatewellnessgroup.com/ Nextleveldietetics.com   RESOURCES: Grab our FREE Fat Loss Fix Guide: https://www.bslnutrition.com/fat-loss-fix-guide/   Connect with Ben: Join our Nutrition Community: https://www.smartnutritionmadesimple.com Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: www.SmartNutritionMadeSimpleTV.com Connect with us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/bslnutrition
