These constant messages are telling us that it's ok to not be our best selves. We don’t have to try or stay hungry as we once did when we were young. We no longer have anything to prove to ourselves. These messages are also contributing to a larger problem we are not addressing. Obesity. In the U.S., today, nearly 50% of all men over 40 are obesity. Being overweight and out of shape is the number one contributor to early death. And today more men are passing away at younger ages than ever before. Cancer diagnoses in men are escalating.

While most men think healthy eating starts and ends with protein, calories, and carbs, this conversation explains why compounds found in olive oil, berries, cacao, coffee, tea, apples, onions, walnuts, pomegranates, and spices may be one of the real keys to long-term health. Dr. A explains how polyphenols help support healthy blood vessels, metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, gut function, brain health, and lower inflammation. He also makes the topic practical by walking through 10 of his favorite polyphenol-rich foods and simple ways to start using them in real life. If you want a smarter, more powerful way to think about healthy eating after 40, this episode will help you build your nutrition around foods that do more than fill you up.
