Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it. Hey friends, you're listening to Fitness Friday on the Habits and Hustle podcast where myself and my friends share quick and very actionable advice for you becoming your healthiest self. So stay tuned and let me know how you leveled up.
I'm all about finding sustainable ways to optimize performance. The kind of work that actually moves the needle on how you feel and function. And that's why I really need to tell you about Prolon's five-day program. Most of us are chasing quick fixes that never get to the root of the problem. And the result is sluggish energy, brain fog, and bodies running below its full capacity. But Prolon changes that by triggering your body's natural repair and renewal process at the cellular level. It's not a cleanse or crash diet. Prolon is the only patented fasting-mimicking diet developed at USC's Longevity Institute. It's a plant-based program with soups and snacks and drinks that nourish your body while keeping you in a fasting state.
The benefits are backed by science, deep cellular rejuvenation, fat-focused weight loss, no injections, and better metabolic health and energy. Plus, improved skin and even reduced biological age. And here's my favorite part. It's a complete reset in just five days. No willpower, battles, no extreme restrictions, just a structured plan to let your body do what it's designed to do. to do, repair, renew, and optimize. And right now, Prolon is offering 30% off site-wide, plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their five-day program.

Yeah, you look insanely good. I mean, I was going to ask you, are you on, like, are you doing HRT or something? You want steroids? Yeah, are you on something? Well, no, because you're so ripped. And if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
I'm 60 wonderful. 60 wonderful, okay. 60 wonderful, and I'm an open book. I'll tell you everything I'm doing. I've been on hormone replacement therapy from the moment. My hormones started to shift. And here's what was super cool about that. So when I was on Dr. Phil, he had a little chapter in his book called Weight Loss Resistance. And I thought that what a concept. I fell in love with this idea because working in real life, working in the wild, I saw people that worked. Eating, eating right, exercising and stuck, especially, you know, perimenopausal women. And this whole idea that nothing changes when you're perimenopausal, your metabolism stays the same is got to be men saying that. Not one perimenopausal woman will say that to you, I don't think.
Yeah. You know? And when did you start? Because I think that's a big question that people are very confused with. Yeah, you start when things start to shift. So that's different for everybody. That could be late 30s. It could be early 40s. For me... early 40s, I think I was around 44, I remember all of a sudden, I used to always be the sweaty one, like sweaty, sweaty, sweaty, you know? And all of a sudden I'm cold and I got a little constipated. I started to lose my eyebrow. And this happened like that. And one of my friends was an integrative med doc who was like, looked at my TSH, which was 2.25, I remember. Totally in the range. And I was hypothyroid. And the minute he gave me a little thyroid, it's like the lights came back on.
Everything normalized. The next thing that happened was I could not recover from my workouts like I used to. Now I know from, you know, Dr. Vonda Wright that this is musculoskeletal syndrome due to menopause. But back then I was like, I had no clue. I was just like, what is going on? And my gums started to bleed a little bit and my dentist was like, that's low estrogen. So the minute these things started to show up, I started to treat it. So I started first with thyroid. Then I did a little testosterone, which helped bring my estrogen back.
