Ep 35: Maximize Your Mojo: 3 Hormone Hacks to Keep Father Time at Bay w/ Dustin Baker

The ResistingBeta podcast discusses human growth hormone (HGH) with guest Dustin Baker, president of BioProtein Technology, focusing on the effects of low HGH levels and the difference between HGH and steroids, as well as Dustin's passion for safely maximizing physiological and cognitive function. 

Dustin expresses his gratitude for being on the show and appreciates the opportunity to talk about a topic that he can relate to as an aging male. 

Dustin relates to the average successful man as he is one of them, and he wants to offer the best for his family, friends, and people who depend on him by being the best version of himself. 

Dustin describes the state of masculinity as atrocious, citing studies that show men today have the lowest rate of hormonal decline in modern history, with the average human male in his twenties having the hormone level of a man who's 67. 

Andrew dislikes the narrative that getting old sucks and wants to explore what choices are causing physical issues instead of attributing them solely to aging. He seeks advice on how to approach this with older men in his life. 

Dustin suggests that changing the mindset and addressing personal purpose, physical obstacles, and basic needs can help alleviate the negative effects of aging, and that mindset is imperative when it comes to the stories we tell ourselves about aging. 

Andrew challenges the idea that age should limit one's ability to pursue activities one enjoys, using Tom Brady as an example of defying age expectations. 

The speakers discuss the importance of lifestyle choices in regard to aging and hormone production. Tom Brady is used as an example of someone who prioritizes his health and aging process through strict diet and exercise. However, the speakers note that anyone can make an effort to improve their health through better lifestyle choices, including getting adequate sleep, which is free and easy to achieve with dedication. 

Dustin and Andrew continue their discussion on health optimization. Dustin emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated and being adequately nourished, stating that most Americans are chronically dehydrated and nutritionally deficient, which puts the body into fight-or-flight mode. 

Dustin and Andrew discuss diet and nutrition, emphasizing the importance of individualized goals and calorie intake, and recommend using apps or online tools to help track and calculate nutrient needs. 

Dustin emphasizes the importance of exercise in optimizing the effects of food, water, and sleep, and recommends high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for its ability to increase growth hormone production. Andrew and Dustin acknowledge that these are basics that many people know but may not be doing. 

Dustin and Andrew discuss the importance of consistency and discipline in achieving success, emphasizing the accumulation effect of small daily actions. 

To Dustin, being a man means taking responsibility for those around you, providing for their needs, serving and working for others, and being disciplined in self-sacrifice and dedication to a specific worldview. It is also important to know how to take care of oneself before caring for others. 

Andrew advises listeners to reflect on Dustin's message and its application in their lives and suggests focusing on simple actions to gain momentum rather than trying to do too much at once. 

Dustin suggests setting a finish line and starting the day with a workout to accomplish a specific goal, improve confidence, and have a successful day. 

Andrew and Dustin discuss the importance of self-confidence and discipline in achieving fitness goals. They also mention Bio Pro, a product that helps people with their fitness and wellness goals. 

Bio Pro is a non-synthetic alternative to growth hormone treatments that provides the same benefits without side effects, aimed at helping men feel their best and be the best version of themselves. 

Dustin promotes his product, BioProtein Tech, to Andrew, mentioning its benefits for sexual performance, energy, and sleep. He recommends following their Instagram account for more information and customer service. He also mentions that they have physicians who can provide their products and potentially set up appointments for customers. Andrew praises Dustin for the information and product. 

Andrew and Dustin discuss the importance of healthy masculine energy, the impact of positive male role models, and the need for men to become more present in their day-to-day lives. They scratch the surface of why men feel the way they do and how they can make a change for themselves and future generations.
