25 Questions I Got Asked To Help Men Over 40 Lose Fat Part 1 - 118
Most men I coach are eating half the protein they actually need, then wondering why they're starving by ten at night. If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or driven man running your day on coffee and willpower, this episode is built around the questions you've probably asked yourself but never had answered straight.
In this episode of Driven For Health, Coach Brian Parana works through ten of the most common questions he gets on fat loss, nutrition, and fitness from men in their 40s and 50s. These are real questions from coaching calls and client conversations, the kind that come up when a man's body stops responding the way it used to.
Men's health after 40 doesn't follow the rules that worked at 30. This episode covers how much protein actually supports fat loss, why diets that worked a decade ago stop working now, and how to handle work travel and client dinners without losing a week of progress every time you're on the road.
If you're running a business, including an online business, your schedule probably doesn't leave room for hours in the gym or a meal plan that needs a spreadsheet. The fitness and nutrition habits covered here are built for busy men, the kind that protect your energy, your focus, and your performance at work without taking over your day. Productivity and physical performance run on the same fuel, even though most men treat them as separate problems.
Brian also breaks down strength training after 40, muscle loss, and why the same effort stops producing the same results. Work-life balance only holds up when you have the energy to use it, and that starts with what's on your plate and how you train.
This is part one of a two part series. Part two, episode 119, covers blood work, chronic illness, stress management, travel, and staying strong as you age.
