Today's guest has a fascinating story and weight loss transformation and his reason for it was very interesting as you'll hear. While this is a wide ranging conversation, our central theme in this talk is how to find the right lifestyle for you after 45 and the big pillars that contribute to it.
Dr. Derek Alessi, Ph.D became interested in the field of fitness training at an early age when he was an obese teenager. Determined to change his health, body and ultimately his future, he began strength training and developed a system to modify his nutrition.
Derek dropped over 80-pounds in one year and later that same year, he entered his first and only body building contest. Disenchanted with the way body building tends to minimize health and well-being in order to encourage raw size, he left that arena and dedicated his career to helping individuals achieve better health and wellness through a program of planned exercise and practical nutrition.
At the age of 19, Derek passed a national fitness certification exam and began his career in personal fitness training. He furthered his quest for more information through education and received post-graduate degrees in health and physical education as well as a master’s degree in nutrition.
Dr. Derek is the author of The Bermuda Triangle Diet (October, 2009 Strategic Publishing), Lose Fat Forever (2003), and The Promise Health and Fitness System (2002 ). Derek has earned a doctorate degree in health and physical education and a master’s degree in nutrition.
He is also a National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) trainer. He owns and operates Dr. Derek Health & Fitness, a private practice, a personal training facility for adults in East Amherst New York. He has appeared on over 2100-TV and 400-radio programs throughout the country and has been featured in national print media including Maxim, Burn Fitness for Women and Iron-Man Magazines.
Dr. Derek is a health, fitness and lifestyle contributor for the USA Today and the host of weekly TV show on NBC Cleveland & NBC in Buffalo, New York called Live It Fit Now!
In addition, Dr. Derek conducts regular health and fitness seminars for the health care industry, Fortune 1000 companies, and small businesses where he combines his unique brand of humor, empathy and knowledge to communicate his positive, affirming message: Make the Most of Your Life… Live It Fit!™

If you've followed me or my story you know bodybuilding and competing have been a big part of my life for a long time. While I won't stop bodybuilding, I believe it's time to set away from the stage to focus on other things in my life.

Throughout my career working with so many women in their 40's and beyond, arguably the number one issue these women want to avoid is gaining body fat. Looking back at my 40's, I gain body fat around that time too and wasn't sure why at the time.

I'm not bringing this to your attention to fear monger you but to illuminate the truth when it comes to social isolation, healthspan, and lifespan. Not only does the data show the effects but I've seen it in my family as well which I'll share with you too. What I believe we've lost recently is human connection and while social media has given us more people to interact with, the depth of those interactions and relationships has been deeply effected.

Steve Q. Wiltshire has made fitness, health & mindset a priority for 3 decades! Shortly after winning the Mr. Oregon Body Building Competition, Steve developed an autoimmune disease that originated from a serious gut complication that almost ruined his health.
Most everything Steve learned from experts, radical meal plans and harsh chemicals in supplements compromised his gut health. 18 months after being diagnosed, Steve healed himself by following the philosophy and wellness practices taught by the Hypocrites Institute in Southern Florida.
Through Steve’s journey, he has developed a process that has led him to assisting thousands of people how to reclaim their health & power! Steve is a Keynote Speaker, Author and Mindset Coach and the founder of Body Temple Health & Wellness.

I recently send out an email to my newsletter subscribers specifically about how different levels require different levels of action and I referred to bodybuilding in this context.

The same goes in the gym and I want to explain how to consistent improve and progress and thrive in your 40's, 50's, 60's, and beyond.

In this episode, my guest today Hannah Went dives into the fascinating world of methylation and how it relates to aging and overall health and wellness. Methylation is a process by which molecules called methyl groups are added to DNA, influencing the activity of certain genes. As we age, methylation patterns can change, potentially leading to a variety of health issues. By understanding more about methylation and the role of epigenetics, we can potentially take steps to promote healthy aging. Join Hannah and I as we discuss this intriguing topic and explore the latest research on methylation and aging.

I've recently changed my mind about intermittent fasting and I want to explain why. I didn't receive the whole story about it when I was first introduced to it and wrote it off for years. The more I learn about aging and longevity, the more I believe intermittent fasting has it's place. It's not for everyone (nothing is) but I want you to be equipped with the knowledge I didn't have earlier.

I see this so often now in the fitness and nutrition industry and I had to address it. Tracking macros is not a diet… it is a tool to use for awareness purposes. Unfortunately, there has become a stigma around macros and tracking them because it can be considered "restrictive". For most individuals, this isn't the case (unless it becomes an obsessive tendency which has the potential to happen). I'll share with you my thoughts around tracking macros and why they are important.

I have a confession to make about why I haven't covered this topic as a solo podcast yet… I as a podcast listener would typically skip this episode. I believe I've heard all there is to hear about self-care and didn't want to waste my time listening to another podcast about it. I want to redefine what self care looks like for women in 2022. We are under so many different stressors that it is imperative you schedule time for yourself into your calendar.

Reflecting on a life threatening situation back in my teen years till now in my 60's, it really got me thinking about the concept of longevity and aging optimally.

I left personal training because I became sick and tired of a fatal flaw that online coaching corrected. My clients would show up for their workouts for that hour but I had no way to help them with their nutrition, sleep, or stress. Once I started to learn more, I also figured out what works best as far as workouts for women over 40 and beyond to retain muscle and keep the figure they want. I'll share all that and much more with you on today's show!

The more experience I gain as a coach, the more I am able to peel back to true issues women in their 40's and beyond struggle with when it comes to their health and another one of those issues that goes overlooked is the subject of estrogen dominance. I've talked about the relationship between estrogen and progesterone many times on this show and there's a balance that needs to occur or issues will arise. Some women deal with estrogen dominance and several factors come into play why and I want to explain those reasons in today's episode.

I am not a sommelier or sponsored by a brand I highly recommend but I think this topic is important because I get asked all the time if I allow my clients to drink wine. The answer is yes but the more I've learned about the wine industry and the process under which it is made especially in the United States, I'm pickier about the type or company I recommend. Even if you don't drink wine, I think you'll find this episode interesting.

One of the biggest challenges I see for women, especially over the age of 40, might surprise you. It's not getting to the gym or getting enough sleep.

There's a dark side to pursuing your dreams and that's what I want to talk about on today's episode. When it comes to relationships, not everyone will support your desire to improve.

This is a sensitive topic for some and I have seen it with my clients and those I hop on the phone with and that is emotional eating and binge eating.

A recent interaction with a business marketing group I was rejected from spurred some research on my end and thought would make a great podcast topic. I knew a bit about the "fact activism" movement and obviously I know a lot about the "diet" culture and I am not in either camp. I believe there is an area in between where we can live our best lives and love ourselves and our bodies. I want to share with you what I agree and disagree with when it comes to what I learned about the "fat activism" culture.

We all start out intimidated at the gym, not knowing how any of the machines work, let alone the free weights area. Worse as women, we feel intimidated to even step foot into the free weights section. It has gotten better over the years but I'm here to tell you that you have every right to use all of the equipment in the gym just like the men do. Today's episode is all about the different types of intimidation you could or have felt and what to do about it so you can reach your goals.

Fad diets are named the way they are for a reason... they don't last. Much like bell-bottoms in the 70's and 80's, fad diets are in style one day and out the door the next. If you are listening to me, I want you to enjoy your food and prepare a plan you can stick to long term. Today's episode is all about why I never work with anyone who wants to use a fad diet and tips for my "all or nothing" crowd that wants to make a change this year.

The people around you love you and want what's best for you but understand this... your big goals and aspirations are your own. Those around you probably won't understand why you want what you want and want to keep you comfortable and safe. It's human nature.
Defying human nature like competing in a show or losing weight takes discipline and grit your family might not understand. It's important to know to keep going despite the influence of your surroundings. Today, I want to share with you a personal story about this topic and how you can keep going in the face of judgment and adversity.

"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference" is the serenity prayer that incapsulates this episode well. I want to share with you a story from my past about adopting our first child and the rollercoaster of emotions I went through at that time and then explain how I best learned to control what I have control over and leave the rest up to fate.

I just returned from one of my client's bodybuilding shows and the reflection allowed me to bring this topic to you for this week's episode. Not only do I want to explain the process and journey my client went through to be on stage but how the role of failure plays a pivotal part in our lives. We've been taught to be afraid of failure but finding failure, like in fitness, shows us what we need to work on to get better or to give it another attempt with a newfound perspective.

To get anything we want in life but especially our dream bodies, we psychologically go through 5 phases on the journey to that end result. Along the way is where most people fall off and if you're listening to this podcast, I don't want you to fall off your goal and regret what could have been. I want to share with you a powerful book "The 12 Week Year" and explain the phases so you can understand which phase you are in and how to best overcome the challenges that phase presents.

I want to share with you a valuable insight I had while reflecting on my last bikini show a couple of weekends ago and how this insight and lesson can be helpful in your life. I know most of my clients and listeners have little to no desire to step on stage so this isn't about competing but more about motivation, habits, and what I had to rely on when my motivation wasn't there. For you, there will be times your motivation isn't there and you still want to show up for yourself so this episode is my reflections on exactly how to do that.
