Welcome Kurt Havens to Dave Tate's Table Talk podcast for the 310th episode.

Kurt Havens, 48, is a fitness coach and father of two with a passion for fitness since age 12. A former athlete, he placed in the top 100 in the Body For Life challenge, which launched his coaching career with EAS Supplements. After a break from the gym for family and career, he returned to fitness in his late 30s, began testosterone therapy, and saw renewed success in competitions.

During the pandemic, he noticed the lack of reliable information on steroids and decided to pursue an MD/PhD in endocrinology to educate others. In 2023, he launched a social media presence, rapidly growing his coaching business. He continues to coach, create content, and study endocrinology.
