EP 49 Stop worrying about money - Part II
That is the title of Jacqui Clarke's new book. This is the second of 2 parts of our podcast "Stop worrying about Money" with Jacqui.
Donny and I talk to her not only about her book, but also about money, and share some practical tips and steps to help get you thinking about and managing your money, and how to avoid some of the traps that are trying to get you to spend more money. Also, the management of kids and money, and teaching them money habits and lessons, as well as financial infidelity and financial abuse, all of which are included in the book. Scary in places.
The book starts with getting your house in order, which I think many of us avoid, through to dealing with worry and planning for the future. A great read and a great listen for anyone of any age.
Jacqui has 30 years of experience, of which 20 were spent with Deloitte in Australia, and is a co-founder of Maxima Private, a boutique accounting and advisory firm.

EP 46 Intro to Online dating and the difference between new and "older" relationships
Found yourself single, fifty + and working out how to date? Facts, learnings, and poor humor as an introduction to the world of online dating, and the weird and wonderful out there, from hook-up sites to doms, to those serious sites for people serious about dating as they age gracefully.
Donny is clearly not very experienced here I will just say. A good thing I might add.
Learn from a survey on sex at 50+ years and the differences between new and "older" relationships when it comes to sex and other behavior. No further comment!

Ep 45. 14 Seal Team Sayings - Simple, clear, use them in the office, or at home...
14 Seal Team sayings you can use in the office or at home to motivate your teenagers and get things done. Just kidding, or are we?
Seal Teams are the US Navy's primary special operations force. SEAL stands for Sea, Air, and Land. There are also a number of TV shows about the Seals.
Watch 1 Seal Team show, and suddenly their sayings are finding a way onto your social media. Imagine that. Anyway, I have tested some of them at home with my teenagers and they work. sometimes. Not that we run a military base at home.
But they are clear, and focused, and you can imagine in a stressful situation being easy to grasp and remember. Increasingly they are being used in corporate environments to create focus and direction.
What do you think?

Episode 43 Young Bull Old Bull
Do you need to change what you do as you get older? Can you avoid it?
If you are male, over 45, or 50 this is a must listen. As they say, it's all fun and games in your fifties, on top of your career, earnings capacity, social life, and friends. Food and alcohol, social gatherings, and then bang! Are you thinking about this stuff now to manage and protect your quality of life later?
Muscle tissues do change with age. There is an involuntary loss of muscle mass of 3-8% a year after 30. Greater after 60. This can drive disability and frailty, falls, etc. accompanied by a progressive increase in fat mass and increase in insulin resistance. Bone density can decrease, and joint stiffness increases. How does this impact training?
At the cellular level, age-related changes include a reduction in muscle cell number, muscle twitch time and twitch force, and sarcoplasmic reticulum volume. Sarcomere spacing can become disorganized, the membrane of the muscle is less excitable, and there is a significant increase in fat accumulation within and around the muscle cells.
Biochemical and metabolic changes also occur in muscle with aging. Mitochondrial DNA deletion mutations after oxidative damage and reduced mitochondrial protein synthesis. These contribute to the overall physical fitness capacity of the elderly and are an important component of the reduction of around 30% in the ability to utilize oxygen during exercise (i.e. VO2max).
Besides the muscle-specific alterations, a reduction in endocrine function, physical activity, and appropriate nutrition are potentially treatable with behavioral interventions in certain cases.
Endocrine changes – hormonal – testosterone. Since testosterone increases muscle protein synthesis, muscle mass, and strength, it is been proposed that a decrease in testosterone may cause a decrease in muscle protein synthesis and result in a loss of muscle mass.
Exercise training and proper nutrition can have dramatic effects on muscle mass and strength, but what exercises should you try to avoid after 50? What exercises should you encourage, and what should you avoid? What precautions should you take?

EP 11 How is old? Your life may depend on it
Great question and not one we often think about other than to refer to "old " people. When you are 30, how old is old versus when you are 50? How does your perception of age affect your health? Are you a Baby Boomer, or Gen X? What does that even mean? This at times funny podcast takes you on a journey of age with Jem & Donny and will help you decide on hold you are. Well, sort of...
How old you are, in fact, depends on how old you are. Read that again. The older we are, the older we think old is. Perception varies by age, gender, ethnicity, and health. If you feel younger, according to research you are less likely to die. You are getting older as you read this, so rather get listening, and remember every day you will never be as young as you are again today. Make it count.

obhpodcast #testostosterone
EP 10 Testosterone. Yes, I said it.
Testosterone. As men, we need to change the narrative. Yes, testosterone is a sex hormone, but it is fundamental for many processes in the body of both men and women. We should embrace it, talk about it and most importantly ensure our T or testosterone levels are sufficient.
Why?
- Muscle mass
- Sex drive
- Heart & blood health
- Bone density
- Wellbeing and mood
- Reduced risk of depression
- Sexual features
- Energy
- Motivation
Our T levels do get impacted by a number of lifestyle factors. Find out what these are, how you can try to boost your testosterone levels naturally, if regular sex helps, and what supplements may help, supported as usual by various studies.

Ep 8 What is Protein? Do YOU need some?
We have long been believers in protein supplements, especially for aging bodies not just for teenage gym goers. As you age, muscle mass can reduce due to conditions such as Sarcopenia. A lean whey protein can provide all the essential amino acids, helping retain or gain muscle mass, and most importantly support muscle recovery after exercise.
Find out more about the types of protein available, isolate, concentrate, and hydrolyzed. When it makes sense to use it, before or after exercise? Or just in the morning to start the day? Some of the key reasons you may want to use it, is to help manage weight or retain muscle mass. Finally, think about your current daily nutrition, and just how much protein you are actually taking in as you age.

Ep 7 Making Time for Exercise - Prioritization
Prioritize and make time for exercise. We plan most things in our lives, and yet many of us take our own health for granted. We neglect our own quality. Quality of life. Quality of us.
There is always time for working out, training, and exercising. You just need to recognize it, prioritize and then do it. Exercise and health go hand in hand as you get older. The evidence is in.
How do you want to feel? How do you want to feel about yourself? Time, Exercise, and Recovery are key. Exercise may be inconvenient but illness and disease are more inconvenient. Start moving today. Listen for more insights and detail.

Episode 4: Benefits of Weight Lifting and Resistance Training
Are you lifting weights above your head? If not, why you should be? How much should you be doing? What muscle groups should you be training? Why is this even more important as you get older? Lots of good questions.
If you don't use them you lose them. Muscles that is. Sarcopenia is a condition that results in muscle loss and is driven by age. Lifting weights or resistance training can help avoid sarcopenia, and even help grow muscle mass. But the key is also avoiding injury. Listen to find out more or visit oldbullhealth.com.
