Are you wondering how you can live a longer, more fulfilling life?

Many of us resort to external means, like testosterone replacement therapy, in hopes of achieving this. What we fail to realize is that with a little discipline, we work to can extend our lives ourselves.

In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Howard Aaron shares his tips, tricks, and knowledge on how to extend your life by simply maintaining an active lifestyle. You’d never be able to tell he’s turning 70 — what’s stopping you from being the same?

Howard also talks about blocking out the “noise between your ears” and how, by doing this, you can achieve so much more.

  • Exercise is important, but rest and recovery are just as crucial to increasing testosterone levels
  • By blocking out the “noise between your ears”, you can allow yourself to reach higher heights
  • There are many natural alternatives to testosterone replacement therapy available
  • Consistency trumps infrequent activities that only bring mental satisfaction
