How can you naturally build muscle after 40?
How do people as they're like middle-aged maintain and also still build muscle and look the same like you? Like you're 50 years old and you're still ripped. And I'm presuming you're not on any steroids since you are natural. No, HRT, nothing like that. Not even HRT? No. Because what I was going to actually ask you, and I didn't want to be rude, but now that you mentioned it, most of the people I know who are in their middle age, like 45, 50, even 55, whatever, who look really muscular, they're on... a lot of HRT.

Now they're just putting a bandaid on it. So I always look at the root cause first. Are they getting asleep? Are they getting sunlight? Maybe there are testosterone precursors that they need to take, such as vitamin D with K2, obviously, and creatine, progesterone, DHEA.
