Talking Nutrition

In this episode of Talking Nutrition, Johan is joined by Mike Kesthely. Mike is a firefighter paramedic and a functional health, performance, and nutrition coach. You'll learn about the challenges of shift work, the effects on health, circadian rhythm, and longevity, and how to optimize your health while working irregular hours. Mike and Johan also discuss the effects of sleep deprivation on insulin sensitivity and testosterone levels in both men and women, basic habits and practices that can help mitigate the damage, and the truth about supplements that supposedly 'boost' your testosterone. And lastly, you'll learn why blood work and checking your hormones as a preventative health measure is key for long-term health, and who would be a proper candidate for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
