Josh Whalen, CEO & Founder of Blokes, thought there had to be a better way than sterile clinics and subpar services in order to optimize men's health. Blokes connects you with licensed providers and provides customized treatments to support better focus, strength and recovery so you can feel like you again.His journey to creating Blokes started a few years ago when he started feeling, well, old. He's talking low energy, lack of focus, a dwindling drive, and yep, some failure to launch. Every treatment he sought either gave him a one-size-fits-all approach or told him to accept this new normal. As you can imagine, he didn’t.Failing to accept the norm wasn't new for him. When he was starting out, he was fired from more jobs than he could count. He was always pushing himself hard with larger-than-life goals for his life and career. So early on, he decided to become an entrepreneur and drive his own destiny. Now with Blokes, they're creating the future of men’s health care.Josh shares valuable insight into what's missing for men's health today and how personalized medicine is key. He strives to help men through lab testing, healthy lifestyle changes, optimized dietary changes, hormone replacement therapy and peptides.SHOW NOTES: 0:51 Welcome to the show!3:30 Josh Whalen’s Bio5:02 Welcome him to the podcast6:24 How Josh got into this men’s health optimization8:08 His first step to moving the needle9:04 The effect on relationships12:10 How he knew there was something wrong14:15 Owning your own health journey14:50 What is the barrier for men?16:18 Main symptoms that bring men to Blokes?17:34 Avoiding the “quick fix” mentality19:07 Variables for optimal health20:07 Why women make changes more easily21:48 The Blokes Experience23:05 *Coast Ad*24:50 All about Peptides26:37 SEMAX for Brain Fog & Immune Recovery28:46 BP-157 for Inflammation30:38 Thoughts on Semaglutide32:39 Why you should work with a professional35:13 Titrating & timing for peptides37:38 Issues with regulating product40:11 Josh’s story about colon cancer41:23 His final piece of advice42:57 Where you can find him43:59 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES: Blokes.coChooseJoi.coLinkedInInstagramArticle: Online Peptide SuppliersSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donations
