If you're over 40 and feel like your energy, body, or confidence is slipping away—this is for you.
You don't need another diet. You don't need to "just try harder." You need a system that helps you lose fat build muscle after 40 in a way that fits your life.
This blog shows you exactly how I coach busy dads back to peak performance using the RESET Method.
Why It’s So Hard to Lose Fat Build Muscle After 40
Your metabolism slows. Your recovery gets worse. Your testosterone drops.
Add work stress, family duties, poor sleep, and zero structure... and your body shifts into survival mode.
Most men aren’t lazy. They're overwhelmed, under-recovered, and trying to follow outdated plans made for 25-year-olds.
The RESET Method: Built for Men Who Want to Lose Fat Build Muscle After 40
My 90-day RESET Method includes:
✅ 3–4x/week full-body strength training
✅ Carnivore-style nutrition (zero tracking, high impact)
✅ Mobility and injury-proofing for aging joints
✅ Sleep routines that actually work
✅ Daily sunlight + hydration
✅ Stoic mental training to rebuild habits
This isn’t about willpower. It’s about structure.
Boost Testosterone Naturally by Fixing These 5 Things
Strength Training: It sends the hormonal signal to grow, not shrink.
Red Meat: Loaded with saturated fat, zinc, and iron—T essentials.
Sleep: 7–8 hours or your T levels crash.
Sunlight: Morning sun = dopamine + testosterone.
No Seed Oils or Sugar: These destroy your hormones silently.
If your testosterone is low, your motivation, libido, energy, and recovery all suffer.
