The Path to Men Healing Faster, Improve Recovery, and Reducing Inflammation featuring Dr. Adam BoenderIf you feel inflamed, exhausted, stuck in recovery mode, or like your body just doesn't bounce back the way it used to, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Adam Boender, chiropractor-turned-peptide educator, to unpack how men can reclaim their health, energy, and recovery—without shortcuts or hype. Dr. Adam shares how peptides actually work at the cellular level, why most men don't have a deficiency problem but a communication problem inside their bodies, and how strategic tools like peptides, nutrition, and movement work best when paired with discipline and intention. We go deep on recovery peptides, fat loss versus weight loss, GLP-1 medications, food quality, inflammation, and why no supplement or peptide replaces doing the hard work. This episode is a masterclass in health, responsibility, and long-term performance for men who want their bodies—and lives—back.

Inflammation and poor recovery are often communication problems, not deficiencies. Fat loss is not the same as weight loss 2. , and preserving muscle must be the priority. Genetics load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger, especially with health outcomes. True health is the body's ability to heal, not just the absence of disease.

Raising Teenage Daughters Without Losing Connection or ConfidenceConnecting with teenage daughters can feel like trying to break through a locked door—especially when rejection, distance, and silence start to replace the closeness you once had. In this Q&A episode, I'm joined by Uncle Joe as we tackle two deeply relatable questions from dads who are doing their best but feel stuck, unsure, and disconnected. We dive into what it really takes to win a teenage daughter's heart without forcing connection, why consistency matters more than instant results, and how dads can stop taking rejection personally while still staying emotionally available. We also address marriage and money decisions, showing how curiosity, values, and asking better questions can transform conflict into teamwork. This episode is packed with wisdom, reassurance, and practical strategies for dads who refuse to give up on their kids or their marriage.
