#225: The Four Pillars of Longevity Every Man Over 40 Needs to Know

In this episode, Aido breaks down the four non-negotiable pillars of longevity for men over 40  and how you can optimise all four areas so you can look, feel and perform your utmost best. Key Takeaways: * After 35, men lose 1–2% of muscle mass per year without structured resistance training. You can't supplement your way out of it and you can't cardio your way out of it. You train for it or you lose it. * VO2 max is the most powerful predictor of cardiovascular mortality in the research — more predictive than smoking, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Most men over 40 don't train it at all. * Body fat percentage — specifically visceral fat — is what drives disease risk, not the number on the scale. Two men can weigh 90kg and be in completely different health categories. * Your GP is checking you're not dying. That's different from checking you're actually thriving. The five markers to ask for: fasting insulin, HbA1c, CRP, testosterone (free and total), and Vitamin D. Apply for 1:1 Coaching If this episode resonated with you, the next step is a conversation.

#224: Why the Last 10lbs Won't Come Off

The last 10lbs can be harder to shift. Here’s why: * Smaller body = lower calorie needs → deficit shrinks * Metabolic adaptation → body burns fewer calories than expected * NEAT drops → less movement without realising (−200–400 kcal/day) * Hormones shift → ↓ leptin, ↑ hunger, ↓ thyroid/testosterone * Closer to set point → stronger resistance to fat loss Follow the steps in this episode if you would like to shift it!
