In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I sit down with Tommy Dolan, a former elite rugby athlete, husband, and father who has survived multiple near-death experiences, including a melanoma diagnosis and sudden cardiac arrest.

This conversation is not about fear. It is about perspective. We talk about discipline, training, health, and responsibility. We also brought up what really matters when your body reminds you that control is limited. If you train hard and take your responsibilities seriously, this episode will resonate.

Most men past their 30s aren’t broken. They feel depleted, but their doctors point to normal labs and move on.

In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I sit down with Nico Misleh, Clinician, Nurse Practitioner and Founder of HRT University who trains medical providers in hormone optimization and works directly with patients in practice.

We break down the impact of hormones to overall wellness, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and why diet and lifestyle alone eventually stops being enough for a lot of men. This is not about shortcuts or chasing numbers. It is about understanding when biology becomes the limiting factor and responding appropriately.

If your labs look normal but your symptoms show otherwise, this episode will resonate with you.
