And a real legacy that helped shape the online fitness world as we know it.In this episode, I sit down with Elliott as part of our new Funk Fitness Legacy Series, where we honor the pioneers, OGs, and trailblazers who laid the foundation for what we do today in this space. And there’s no better person to start this with than the man behind Strength Camp, the original “Yo Elliott,” and one of the first to ever build a real following with fitness content on YouTube.We get into it all — his early days growing up in Brooklyn, how his uncle unknowingly shaped his destiny, how a few YouTube videos turned into $30K months, and why he walked away from being one of the most recognizable faces in fitness to pursue something even bigger.This episode isn’t just a walk down memory lane. It’s a real look at what happens when you stay true to your calling — even when people don’t get it. Even when they label you. Even when they leave.And now? Elliott’s still standing. Still leading. Still telling the truth.Whether you remember the golden era of fitness online or you’re just hearing “Yo Elliott” for the first time, this one will hit different.Episode Highlights:00:00 - Introduction06:37 - Elliott’s upbringing and the uncle who shaped his journey13:30 - Dropping out of grad school and starting Strength Camp20:16 - The journey to YouTube and the birth of "Yo Elliott"32:43 - “Yo Elliott” origin story and the power of branding34:51 - The real story of the "Critical Bench"38:50 - Hard lessons from partnerships and staying solo44:14 - The good old days of affiliate marketing48:08 - Spiritual awakening: fasting, catholicism & backlash56:54 - Being misunderstood — and staying grounded1:03:20 - What’s happening to men and how to fight back1:11:03 - Elliott’s legacy and mentoring the next generation🔥 JOIN THE BROTHERHOOD 🔥If you’re over 40 and ready to reclaim your strength, purpose, and legacy, join hundreds of men transforming their lives with us.✅ Workouts built for men 40+✅ Nutrition plans that cut through the noise✅ Live coaching for real results✅ Mental toughness and masculine energy👉 Start for just $1 at: https://www.over40alpha.com 💪 ELLIOTT’S KEYS TO STRENGTH AND LEGACYElliott’s take on what it takes to be a man of impact:- Integrity – Stay true to your voice, no matter the cost- Faith – Let God guide your path and surrender the throne- Strength – Build it in body, mind, and soul- Mentorship – Pass the torch to the next generation- Purpose – Live for something bigger than yourselfSubscribe and Listen on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channel: https://over40alphapodcast.com/ Your support of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast helps to spread the word and ultimately change the lives of men worldwide over 40, 50, and 60 who struggle with health and fitness.I want to give a MASSIVE thanks to everyone stepping up and leaving 5-star reviews.Please Review and Share the Podcast Here:Drop that 5-star review.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685📲 Connect with Elliott Hulse:- Website – https://elliotthulse.com/ - YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@elliotthulse1/ - Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/ELLIOTTHULSE Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/funkrobertsfitnessFunk’s book ‘Nutrition for Men Over 40’ - www.over40meals.com | — | ||||||

| 5/10/25 | ![]() Episode 170 - Unlocking Brain Power Over 40: Dr. Josh Helman on Alzheimer’s, Cognitive Decline, Deep Sleep, Detox Protocols & Reclaiming Mental Clarity for Men | One day, you forget where you put your keys. Next, you're walking into a room and can’t remember why. And maybe the worst part? You start to wonder if this is just part of getting older.But what if it’s not?In this episode, Dr. Josh Helman explains why brain fog, forgetfulness, and mental fatigue hit harder after 40 and what you can do to fight back.He’s not just an MD. Dr. Josh is a Harvard-trained biochemist and emergency medicine physician who now helps people reverse Alzheimer’s and reclaim their mental clarity. His message? It’s not too late. And the decline isn’t inevitable.We talk about why your sleep quality, not just the number of hours, quietly shapes your brain’s future. We get into the sneaky role of inflammation and gut health, why environmental toxins are slowly hijacking our minds, and the powerful but often overlooked link between stress and dementia risk.And Dr. Josh doesn’t stop at theory.

It might be the missing piece that’s holding you back from dropping stubborn fat, balancing your hormones, and staying strong well into your 60s and 70s.In this episode, I’m breaking down why daily walking—yes, walking—is one of the most powerful tools for men over 40 to transform their bodies, improve energy, and stay out of the danger zone of chronic disease.This one’s straight from one of my Friday coaching calls inside the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood, where I go deep into the REAL science behind step counts, metabolic health, testosterone, recovery, and fat loss.

| 4/26/25 | ![]() Episode 168 – The 10 Commandments of Naturally Increasing Testosterone | Low energy, stubborn belly fat, weak workouts, poor sleep, no sex drive? That’s not normal. It’s low testosterone, and it’s a silent epidemic affecting millions of men, especially over 40.In this episode, I’m breaking down the 10 Commandments of Naturally Increasing Testosterone—the exact framework I’ve used to help thousands of men inside the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood reclaim their strength, their confidence, and their manhood.We’re not talking about TRT, steroids, or any quick-fix BS. This is all about dialing in your lifestyle, so your body starts producing more testosterone naturally, the way it was always meant to.I’m going to show you why belly fat is your enemy, how poor sleep crushes your hormones, what kind of training actually boosts your T, and why most guys are unknowingly flooding their bodies with estrogenic toxins. We’ll also talk about porn, alcohol, junk food, and the weak habits that are straight-up sabotaging your masculinity.These 10 commandments aren’t just tips. They’re non-negotiables. And when you lock them in, you’ll not only increase your testosterone, but you’ll feel more alive, more powerful, and more you than you’ve felt in years.Let’s get after it.Timestamps:01:54 - The real epidemic06:20 - The Alpha Zone: What optimal testosterone looks like07:26 - Carl’s transformation story at 4710:44 - Commandment #1: Thou shalt lift weights (the RIGHT way)17:20 - Commandment #2: Prioritize deep sleep for testosterone production23:05 - Commandment #3: Master your nutrition with balanced meals27:43 - Commandment #4: Eliminate belly fat 31:02 - Commandment #5: Crush chronic stress with proven daily habits37:11 - Commandment #6: Ditch estrogenic toxins (and reclaim your hormones)39:12 - Commandment #7: Move daily beyond workouts40:37 - Commandment #8: Supplement wisely43:37 - Commandment #9: Fuel the Alpha mindset46:47 - Commandment #10: Thou shalt reject all low T lifestyle choices🚨 READY TO LEVEL UP? 🚨Join the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood for just $1 and get 30 days of workouts, nutrition plans, recovery protocols, and weekly coaching to jumpstart your testosterone and transform your body. 👉 https://www.over40alpha.com🚨 LIMITED-TIME OFFER! 🚨🔥 Supplement Like an AlphaGet Funk’s all-in-one testosterone booster Alpha Max Test 3D Plus—now stronger than ever.
