In this episode of Don't Pick the Scab Podcast, host David interviews Derek Hoffman, co-founder of Ignite Performance and Health, a company revolutionizing the hormone replacement, weight loss, and fitness industries. The discussion centers on helping men over 40, particularly those recovering from divorce, regain control of their physical and mental health. Derek shares his personal journey, including his experience with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and how it inspired him to create a medically directed, care-based model for sustainable health transformations.

Derek emphasizes the challenges men face post-divorce, such as neglecting self-care, physical decline, and emotional struggles. He explains how Ignite Performance and Health combines hormone therapy, nutrition, and strength training to help men achieve life-changing results. The program focuses on personalized care, including regular blood work, tailored nutrition plans, and strength training to build muscle and confidence. Derek also debunks common misconceptions about TRT, such as "roid rage" and fertility issues, and highlights the importance of proper nutrition and exercise for long-term health.

The episode concludes with Derek encouraging men to prioritize their health and take advantage of the free resources available on Ignite's website. His ultimate goal is to help men feel confident, strong, and ready to tackle life with a "strut in their step."
