Episode 145 - Total Recovery Tactics: From Physical Healing to Mental Resilience

The Over 40 Alpha Podcast

Age-related physiological changes, such as decreased testosterone, muscle loss, and slowed metabolism, are inevitable. However, we can adapt to these changes with comprehensive recovery routines for a longer, healthier life.
This episode lets you in on a coaching call during which I shared the best strategies for optimizing physical and mental recovery to repair damaged tissues, prevent muscle loss, reduce inflammation, prevent injuries and overtraining, and sustain peak performance.
We’ll also explore techniques for managing physical strain, optimizing hormone levels, and maintaining peak mental health, including workout recovery tactics, lifestyle adjustments, and mental recovery techniques for stress reduction.
I talk about the best supplements to add to your diet for faster mental and physical recovery and the benefits of seeking therapy to address unresolved issues and trauma.
Tune in for physical and mental resilience tips that will transform your health and performance.
