Modern men are facing a silent epidemic — plummeting testosterone, chronic stress, and bodies that can no longer recover or perform like they should. In this raw and tactical episode of the Growth Through Adversity Podcast, we expose the hard truths about the modern male hormone crisis and break down cutting-edge strategies to reclaim your strength, vitality, and resilience.

Here’s what Dr. Cody Crockett (https://www.youtube.com/@codycrockett) and I cover in this episode:
✅ The testosterone collapse — why men today have 30–40% lower T than their grandfathers
✅ How stress, obesity, toxins, and poor sleep are destroying your hormones
✅ How TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) and natural methods can restore your warrior chemistry
✅ The power of peptides — BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, MOTS-c — for accelerated healing, recovery, and performance
✅ How peptides work at the cellular level to repair tissue, enhance fat loss, and slow aging
✅ The exact protocols elite men are using to become biologically hard to kill

We’re not here to sell magic bullets. This is about stacking protocols to build a body that is strong, powerful, and fully optimized for modern life.

Tired of overcomplicated diet advice that never works long-term?

In this episode of Growth Through Adversity, I break down the real science of fat loss in the most brutally simple way possible — no fluff, no fads, just facts.

You’ll learn:

• Why caloric deficit is the ONLY path to fat loss
• How macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) actually work in your body
• Why clean eating isn’t enough — numbers matter more than "good" or "bad" food
• What flexible dieting really means (and how to apply it even if you eat out daily)
• Why you don’t need keto, intermittent fasting, or 6-meal plans to lose fat
• How to track your food and still have a life
• The exact priority pyramid I teach all my clients
• Practical substitutions that help you eat better without feeling restricted

If you’re a busy man trying to drop fat without giving up beer, burgers, or your social life — this episode will change the way you think about food.

📲 DM me “LEAN” on Instagram if you want my free fat loss calculator and meal builder.

And remember — every diet is just a tool. The only thing that works is a consistent calorie deficit + protein intake.

In this no-bullshit episode of Growth Through Adversity, I pull back the curtain on how I scaled my online coaching business from $400/month to over $140K/year — without selling out, without faking it, and without losing my soul.

This podcast is about more than macros and gym routines — it's about transformation in every arena: physical, mental, spiritual, and financial.

I share:

• My origin story: landscaping by day, coaching by night
• Why failure isn’t fatal — stagnation is
• How in-person coaching became a trap
• Why service, results, and mission will always beat hype
• What going “all in” really looks like (I spent $15K on coaching when I barely had it)
• Why I believe your income is a reflection of your impact
• How I’ll scale from $150K to $250K+ without losing alignment

Whether you’re a coach, a fighter, or a man trying to reclaim his fire — this episode will light a match under your ass.

Injecting testosterone changes everything — but most guys have no idea what’s really happening under the hood.

In this episode of Growth Through Adversity, we break down the science of exogenous testosterone and its impact on your body, hormones, brain, fertility, aggression, strength, and health.

You’ll learn:

• How injecting testosterone shuts down your natural production
• What happens to your testes, sperm, and libido
• How testosterone fuels muscle growth, fat loss, mood, and dominance
• Why it raises hematocrit, impacts your brain chemistry, and boosts red blood cells
• The dangers of testicular atrophy, infertility, and estrogen dominance
• When to use hCG, aromatase inhibitors, and routine labs to stay dialed in

This isn’t bro-science or cookie-cutter TRT advice — this is the real, raw truth about hormonal warfare and building a body that’s not just jacked… but optimized, aggressive, and fucking dangerous.

⚠️ Whether you're on gear, considering TRT, or just want to know how the male endocrine system actually works — you need this episode.

If you’re on TRT or thinking about it, share this with a brother who needs to know the truth. And DM me ‘OPTIMIZED’ on Instagram to get a free hormone checklist and blood panel guide.
