Welcome To Second Half Strong Weekly
Welcome to another week of the Men Over 40 Health Summit newsletter.
First, thank you for being part of this community. Whether you're here to improve your energy, build strength, optimize your hormones, lose weight, or simply stay healthy for the long haul, you're in the right place.
One thing we've learned through years of coaching and interviewing leading health experts is that most men don't need more information; they need the right information. The health landscape is full of conflicting advice, quick fixes, and empty promises. Our mission is to help cut through the noise and bring you practical, evidence-based strategies that actually work for men over 40.
Each week, we'll share insights from our summit speakers, actionable health and fitness tips, expert guidance on hormones, nutrition, recovery, longevity, and the tools you can use to take control of your health today, not someday.
This week's issue focuses on helping you become stronger, healthier, and more resilient as you age. Getting older doesn't mean accepting lower energy, declining performance, or poor health. It means becoming more intentional about how you train, eat, recover, and live.
We're excited to have you on this journey with us.
Here's to building strength, vitality, and longevity one week at a time.
Stay strong,
Funk & Nick

Meet Some of the Experts Joining Us
If you've spent years jumping from one workout program to the next, trying to find the "perfect" training plan, Luka Hocevar has a message for you: stop trying to optimize a broken foundation.
Luka believes that too many men get distracted by complex training splits, advanced techniques, and endless supplement stacks while overlooking the fundamentals that actually drive results. The truth is that strength, health, and longevity aren't built through complexity—they're built through consistency.
In his session, you'll discover why mastering the basics of training, nutrition, recovery, and daily habits creates far greater results than constantly chasing the latest fitness trend. You'll learn how to simplify your approach, focus on what matters most, and build a strong foundation that supports your goals for years to come.
Because after 40, success isn't about doing more. It's about doing the right things consistently.
You may spend a lot of time thinking about your muscles, hormones, heart health, and nutrition—but what if the system controlling all of them is being overlooked?
In her session, Dr. Sherry McAllister will show you why your nervous system is the ultimate command center for your health, longevity, and performance as you age. Every movement you make, every signal your body sends, and every function that keeps you healthy begins with communication between your brain and body.
You'll learn how nervous system health impacts energy, mobility, recovery, resilience, and overall well-being, and why optimizing this critical system can help you stay active and independent for years to come.
If your goal is to perform at a higher level and age with strength and vitality, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
If you've started feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like your best years are behind you, Phil Daru has a different perspective: stagnation is the real enemy.
In his session, you'll learn why maintaining your edge after 40 requires more than just physical training. It demands action. True fulfillment, confidence, and purpose come from challenging yourself, continuing to learn, having meaningful conversations, and consistently taking steps toward your goals.
Phil will share why growth isn't optional if you want to thrive in the second half of life. By pushing both your mind and body beyond their comfort zones, you can build resilience, stay energized, and continue performing at a high level for years to come.
Because the men who age best aren't the ones who avoid challenges—they're the ones who never stop growing.
Workout of the Week: Build A Stronger Core In Just 20 Minutes
Your core is the engine behind nearly every movement you perform. It helps maintain proper posture, supports spinal health, enhances stability, and allows you to generate strength and power both in the gym and throughout your daily life. As you get older, a weak core can lead to poor movement mechanics, chronic discomfort, and a greater risk of injury.
This workout is designed to train your entire core through functional, purposeful movements that build strength, endurance, and coordination. Whether your goal is to strengthen your midsection, improve athletic performance, or move with greater confidence and ease, this 20-minute routine provides an efficient and effective solution.

Funk’s Podcast Pick of the Week: 7 Ways To Naturally Boost Testosterone
In Episode 191, Funk Roberts breaks down seven powerful strategies men over 40 can use to naturally support healthy testosterone levels without relying on shortcuts or quick fixes.
The reality is that testosterone decline isn't just about age. Lifestyle habits play a major role. Poor sleep, chronic stress, excess body fat, lack of strength training, and nutrient deficiencies can all contribute to lower testosterone levels.

4-Week Alpha Sleep Challenge: Fix Your Sleep, Fix Your Results
“You can’t out-train bad sleep.”
That’s why when you upgrade to VIP Experience, you also get our 4-Week Alpha Sleep Challenge.
Most men over 40, 50, and 60 are trying to fix fat loss, low energy, and declining testosterone…
But they’re ignoring the one thing driving all of it.
Sleep.
Poor sleep isn’t just about feeling tired—it’s directly linked to weight gain, muscle loss, low testosterone, poor recovery, and even long-term disease risk.
That’s why Nick Lambe and I created the 4-Week Alpha Sleep Challenge.
This is a step-by-step system designed to help you improve your sleep immediately—so you can recover faster, burn more fat, boost testosterone, and feel like yourself again.
Inside the challenge, you’ll go through a proven 4-phase system that helps you:
-
Improve your relationship with sleep (this is where most men struggle)
-
Fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer
-
Recover deeper so your body can rebuild and recharge
-
Restore hormone production, including testosterone and growth hormone
This isn’t about “sleep hygiene tips.”
It’s about fixing the root problem.
Because when you fix your sleep…
👉 Your energy comes back
👉 Your workouts improve
👉 Your fat loss accelerates
👉 Your hormones start working for you again
And the best part?
You’ll start feeling the difference fast.
And remember, you get LIFETIME ACCESS to all the SESSIONS!
During the summit, each session is only available for a limited time.
With 100+ experts, there’s no way you’re going to catch everything live.
Miss it… it’s gone.
That’s why VIP changes everything.
You get lifetime access to every single talk, so you can watch on your schedule, go back to what matters most, and actually apply what you learn instead of trying to keep up.
