Shredded Over-Forty

Funk Roberts is the owner of Funk Roberts Fitness Inc., the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood, and Funk Supplements Inc. On top of being a successful serial entrepreneur in the functional medicine field, Funk is also a certified metabolic trainer and former professional volleyball player. Funk is the author of Rapid Body Makeover, and also has a new book coming soon called “Over-40 Shred.” In this episode of The FM Shift, Funk joins us to share his journey and talk about what we can do to help our patients see the big picture when it comes to treatment.

In Layman’s Terms

Funk may not be a practitioner, but he employs many of the values and principles that we live by in the functional medicine field. He understands the clinical nature of functional medicine, but his main goal is to help men over forty get shredded. He has been successful in doing so by communicating complex medical information to average people so they can understand it and use it to their advantage. Clinicians have a lot to learn from the way Funk communicates with the male patient population, and they can apply the same tactics in their own practices.

Connecting the Dots

Through Funk’s journey, he made it abundantly clear that practitioners in the functional medicine field have to take a different approach to address the issues facing men over forty. There has to be a connection between the topic of testosterone and the issues the patients are coming in with. That way, the patients can understand the potential treatment options in a way that is more important to them. A lot of practitioners are big proponents of testing. But Funk offers an entirely new way to take that clinical data and make it meaningful to the patients.
