I wanted to feel like I did when I was in my 20s.
I wanted to be able to build muscle the way I used to.
I wanted to be able to stay up all night if I wanted, and not have to feel it the next day.
I wanted to sleep the night and not have to get up to urinate several times.
I wanted to have the mind and the brain and the speed of thought that I used to. In the confidence in all situations.
But the problem was, I was already in my 50s and how many men in their 50s feel like they did in their 20s?
I started the research what happens when a man ages. It helps that I'm a full-time health researcher and have a newsletter with almost 400,000 subscribers.
I'm spending hours every day researching health and aging and after a few years, I'm coming to a very interesting conclusion.
It has to do with something that may shock you. It's the difference between a man who is 50 with the body of a 20-year-old, and a man was 50 with the body of an 80-year-old.
Hint: it is a lot to do with the balance of hormones in a man's body and if you look at one hormone in particular, you may want to look closely at testosterone.
