Dr. Anthony Balduzzi Ph.D and former national champion bodybuilder, is the founder of the wildly popular 'Fit Father Project’ which blends physical culture and science based medicine. with focus on hormones, nutrition and exercise.

 

An early interest in health and fitness stemmed from watching his own dad get very sick, working himself to the bone to put food on the table for the family which meant missing out on healthy eating, skipping exercise, eventually getting a cancer diagnosis, and passing away at 42. Anthony was nine at the time and it was devastating to the family. He began studying everything he could about nutrition, exercise, sleep, the immune system, how to build muscle, and eventually was propelled forward into fitness, competitive bodybuilding, and then medical school.

 

The Fit Father project helps busy guys in their forties, fifties, and sixties achieve and manage sustainable health routines where they can lose the fat, extend their lifespan, build muscle, maintain a healthy metabolism and just feel better as they age; even along side their hectic career. His team has helped over 50,000 families in over one hundred countries and they’re just getting started.

 

“This is my life passion, I love sharing with people because this is the stuff that can really change your life.”

 

Balduzzi stresses the value of progressive resistance training, which increases androgen receptor biogenesis. He considers it a form of medicine. He talks about age-related muscle mass sarcopenia, which causes us to start losing our metabolic engine. He discusses the role of the energy producers in our muscles; our mitochondria, explains how strength training exercise affects mitochondrial biogenesis; actually causing the mitochondria to regenerate, meaning more cellular energy and more.

 

"We need to keep our mitochondria young, get our machinery working, then we can turn back the clock.”

 

"I believe for longevity we need to maintain balance in our systems between anabolism and catabolism. We need both and they need to work together."
