About Look Good, Feel Good

Welcome to Beyond the Labs — we’re Matt and Amy, husband and wife, clinicians, business partners, and big believers that feeling “fine” isn’t good enough. We’ve both lived it. The brain fog. The exhaustion. The frustration of being told, “Everything looks normal.” But normal isn’t the goal. Feeling strong. Feeling connected. Feeling confident in your own body again — that’s the goal. On this podcast, we share what we’ve learned from treating thousands of patients — and from walking this journey ourselves. Because true health isn’t about perfect labs. Let's go beyond the labs together!

   Episode 9: Sex After 50

   Sex after 50: does it get worse with age or could it actually get better? In Episode 9 of Beyond the Labs, Matt and Amy McKinlay have one of their most candid conversations yet about sex, hormones, intimacy, and relationships as we age. After more than 33 years of marriage, they talk openly about their own ups and downs—including Amy’s experience with extremely low libido, medications that affected sexual function, changing hormones, and what they’ve learned about maintaining intimacy throughout their relationship. They tackle questions like: Do men really want sex more than women? Does menopause mean the end of a good sex life? Is testosterone the secret to libido? Does erectile dysfunction always mean low testosterone? And what actually makes intimacy better after decades together? Matt and Amy also discuss vaginal dryness and discomfort, erectile dysfunction, circulation, testosterone, communication, romance, distraction, and why sexual health should be treated as an important part of overall well-being. And yes, they also debate morning vs. nighttime sex, phones in the bedroom, kissing, weekend getaways, and who is actually more romantic. 😂 Their biggest takeaway: Getting older doesn’t mean intimacy has to disappear. Your body changes, your hormones change, and your relationship evolves, but some of your best years may still be ahead of you. 🎙️ Episode 9: Sex After 50 — Beyond the Labs with Matt & Amy McKinlay For educational purposes only.

   Episode 8: GLP1's Breakthrough or Problem?

   Are GLP-1 medications one of the biggest breakthroughs in weight management—or are we creating a new problem by focusing only on the scale? In this episode of Beyond the Labs, Matt and Amy McKinlay take a deeper look at GLP-1 medications, including how they work, why they can be useful tools, and why the medication alone shouldn’t be the entire plan. They discuss muscle preservation, body composition, protein, resistance training, hormones, insulin resistance, thyroid health, appropriate monitoring, and the importance of having a long-term strategy instead of chasing rapid weight loss. Matt and Amy also share their own experiences with GLP-1 medications and explain why they view them as a tool—not a magic weight-loss solution. If you’re considering a GLP-1, this episode gives you five important questions to think about before starting, including what success actually looks like, how you’ll protect muscle and nutrition, how your progress will be monitored, and what the long-term plan will be. The goal isn’t just losing weight. It’s improving your health in a way you can maintain. For educational purposes only. Individual results vary, and GLP-1 medications should be used under appropriate medical supervision.

   Episode 7: You're Never Too Old For Hormones

   Beyond the Labs — Episode 7: You’re Never Too Old for Hormones Are you ever too old to talk to your healthcare provider about hormone therapy? In Episode 7 of Beyond the Labs, Matt and Amy McKinley tackle one of the most common misconceptions they hear from patients: “I’m in my 60s, 70s, or even 80s—is it too late to do anything about my hormones?” Matt and Amy discuss why age is only one part of the bigger picture and why factors like energy, sleep, mood, mental clarity, muscle, libido, symptoms, medical history, and overall quality of life deserve to be part of the conversation. In this episode, they cover: • Why some people have been told they’re “too old” for hormones • The history behind some of the fear surrounding hormone therapy • Why symptoms and individual health history matter alongside lab results • Hormones, libido, intimacy, and relationships as we age • Maintaining energy, strength, confidence, and quality of life • Real patient experiences from people in their 40s, 60s, 70s and beyond • Why a thorough evaluation and ongoing monitoring are so important Matt and Amy also share several powerful patient stories—including people who came in feeling like they had simply accepted getting older, only to begin asking whether feeling that way really had to be their “new normal.” Growing older is inevitable. Giving up on feeling your best doesn’t have to be. 🎙️ Tune in to Episode 7 of Beyond the Labs: “You’re Never Too Old for Hormones.” Learn more about Optimal Hormones Plus and our approach to individualized hormone health at OptimalHormonesPlus.com.
