TPE Blueprint Ep. 10: Funk Roberts on Toxins, Testosterone, and Transforming Men’s Health after 40

Home / The TPE Blueprint Podcasts / TPE Blueprint Ep. 10: Funk Roberts on Toxins, Testosterone, and Transforming Men’s Health after 40

Do you do all the “right” things—eat well, exercise, sleep—yet still struggle with stubborn belly fat, low energy, or feeling “off”? In this eye-opening episode, host Joe Fier talks with Funk Roberts—YouTube fitness sensation and over-40 men’s health authority—about how unseen toxins are often to blame.

After decades in elite fitness, Funk took a deep dive with Dr. Savage’s toxin testing. The shocking results: even top performers aren’t immune to plastics, heavy metals, mold, and environmental chemicals lurking in our everyday routine. Funk shares his personal test results, the lifestyle upgrades he made (including sauna use and shifting to glass storage), and the science of why toxins quietly crush testosterone, slow recovery, and make real transformation harder.

Whether you’re a gym regular or just starting to care more about longevity, this episode is packed with actionable, real-world insights:

  • How to spot hidden toxin sources in your home, food, and air
  • Why men over 40 (and their hormones) suffer most from everyday exposures
  • How small, sustainable habits around food, plastics, air, and supplementation add up to big changes

Discover how “knowing your own data” beats generic advice—and get inspired by Funk’s roadmap to reclaim your energy, restore T, and lead your family by example.

Key Takeaways & Highlights

1. Everyone Has Toxins—Even Top Athletes
If a lifelong pro like Funk was surprised by his own toxin load, chances are you’re exposed too. Toxins are in plastics, water, air, even body products. Regular testing is an eye-opener for true health optimization.

2. Toxins Tank Your Testosterone
Plastics (like BPA), heavy metals, and xenoestrogens from personal care products disrupt hormones and lower T—leading to belly fat, mood swings, low energy, and even poor sexual health.

3. Small, Sustainable Swaps Are Key
Funk didn’t overhaul his life overnight. He swapped plastic containers for glass, built sauna sessions into his weekly routine, upgraded his body care, and tackled toxins one habit at a time. Sustainable change beats all-or-nothing thinking.

4. Know Your Numbers and Personal Triggers
Generic “health” advice can only go so far. Personalized data (toxin and testosterone tests) highlight which habits to target and keep you motivated, informed, and on track.

5. Building Community Makes Change Easier
Whether it’s your partner or a group like Funk’s Over40Alpha community, sharing the journey keeps you accountable, supported, and inspired—because no one goes it alone.

6. Food Quality & Supplementation Matter
Eliminate processed foods and poor-quality proteins. Prioritize organic veggies, grass-fed proteins, omega-3s, vitamin D3, magnesium, and zinc. Clean inputs mean cleaner, higher-performing bodies.

7. Progress Stacks, Not Snaps
Real change is about breaking old habits and stacking new ones, month by month. Focus on one swap (like ditching plastic) for 30 days, then add the next. Results and routines build over time—give it at least 90 days for true transformation.
