If you’re feeling sluggish, dealing with creeping weight gain, or seeing numbers in your blood work you don’t like, it might be time to examine a few common diet habits. I’ve noticed three major dietary red flags in men’s diets that can lead to early aging, higher cholesterol, and increased inflammation.
In my latest video, I break down these mistakes and offer practical solutions.

Quick Overview:
Relying on Processed Meat for Protein
Quick and easy sources of protein like deli meats and sausages might seem convenient, but they often come with high levels of sodium and unhealthy fats.The issue? Low-quality protein sources won’t support your muscle and metabolic health as well as whole, lean protein options will. For optimal health, aim for more natural sources, like chicken, turkey, fish, and quality cuts of beef.
Too Many Refined Carbs
Men’s diets are often heavy on quick, refined carbs, which spike blood sugar and contribute to fat gain around the midsection. High blood sugar over time is linked to inflammation and other metabolic issues, making it harder to maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Switching to whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can help stabilize blood sugar and energy levels.Low Omega-3 Intake
Essential for brain and heart health, Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and support healthy cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, many men don’t get enough Omega-3s, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular issues down the road. Boosting Omega-3s through fatty fish or a quality supplement can make a big difference.
