going to need some type of that they're going to need some type of that they're going to need some type of help from conventional medicine like help from conventional medicine like help from conventional medicine like that is such utter [  ] and that's that is such utter [  ] and that's that is such utter [  ] and that's if anything that's defying science if anything that's defying

understanding of the [  ] human body don't even get me started you can don't even get me started you can don't even get me started you can clearly tell I'm heated right now but clearly tell I'm heated right now but clearly tell I'm heated right now but the point is is that fertility or no the point is is that fertility or no the point is is that fertility or no fertility men are walking around with fertility men are walking around with fertility men are walking around with silent issues and what I find so silent issues and what I find so silent issues and what I find so interesting is that a lot of men and interesting is that a lot of men and interesting is that a lot of men and it's happening younger and younger you it's happening younger and younger you it's happening younger and younger you know let's call it five years ago 10 know let's call it five years ago 10 know let's call it five years ago 10 years ago men were getting diagnosed years ago men were getting diagnosed years ago men were getting diagnosed with prostate issues you know above the with prostate issues you know above the with prostate issues you know above the age of 50 above the age of 55 and most age of 50 above the age of 55 and most age of 50 above the age of 55 and most men that you talk to above that age are men that you talk to above that age are men that you talk to above that age are on some type of prostate watch or on some type of prostate watch or on some type of prostate watch or prostate medication it it's they're also prostate medication it it's they're also prostate medication it it's they're also on blood pressure medication and they're on blood pressure medication and they're on blood pressure medication and they're on cholester medication that is the on cholester medication that is the on cholester medication that is the trifecta I've done a whole separate trifecta I've done a whole separate trifecta I've done a whole separate podcast about that so do we really think podcast about that so do we really think podcast about that so do we really think that men just hit 50 and the problem that men just hit 50 and the problem that men just hit 50 and the problem started no they were all of those started no they were all of those started no they were all of those problems existed and they just finally problems existed and they just finally problems existed and they just finally got bad enough in the labs or they never got bad enough in the labs or they never got bad enough in the labs or they never got Labs until they were you know oh I'm got Labs until they were you know oh I'm got Labs until they were you know oh I'm getting old now because a lot of men getting old now because a lot of men getting old now because a lot of men will tend to just ignore things or will tend to just ignore things or will tend to just ignore things or normalize things that they have going on normalize things that they have going on normalize things that they have going on or just not even talk about it and then or just not even talk about it and then or just not even talk about it and then they hit this point you know in their they hit this point you know in their they hit this point you know in their late 40s 50s they're like I don't know late 40s 50s they're like I don't know late 40s 50s they're like I don't know what it is I don't know if it's like what it is I don't know if it's like what it is I don't know if it's like some little voice that comes and they're some little voice that comes and they're some little voice that comes and they're like oh you're getting [  ] old you like oh you're getting [  ] old you like oh you're getting [  ] old you should probably get some testing done should probably get some testing done should probably get some testing done and then it's inevitable oh you need and then it's inevitable oh you need and then it's inevitable oh you need blood pressure medication cholesterol blood pressure medication cholesterol blood pressure medication cholesterol medication and you need flow Max for medication and you need flow Max for medication and you need flow Max for your prostate and urinary flow it is your prostate and urinary flow it is your prostate and urinary flow it is like I see it all the time and this like I see it all the time and this like I see it all the time and this isn't just clients because I I always isn't just clients because I I always isn't just clients because I I always end up in conversations with people end up in conversations with people end up in conversations with people about their health and wellbeing and it about their health and wellbeing and it about their health and wellbeing and it is it is so so so common so let's is it is so so so common so let's is it is so so so common so let's backtrack here okay so cholesterol is backtrack here okay so cholesterol is backtrack here okay so cholesterol is rooted in a liver issue if you've rooted in a liver issue if you've rooted in a liver issue if you've listened to any other podcast liver it listened to any other podcast liver it listened to any other podcast liver it does a lot of different things but liver does a lot of different things but liver does a lot of different things but liver is going to be one of the master is going to be one of the master is going to be one of the master controllers of hormones testosterone controllers of hormones testosterone controllers of hormones testosterone included estrogen included so a lot of included estrogen included so a lot of included estrogen included so a lot of people talk about this with women that people talk about this with women that people talk about this with women that women have estrogen overload and this women have estrogen overload and this women have estrogen overload and this could be playing a role in fertility but could be playing a role in fertility but could be playing a role in fertility but guess what men can also have estrogen guess what men can also have estrogen guess what men can also have estrogen overload when they have taxed out livers overload when they have taxed out livers overload when they have taxed out livers if your liver is taxed out if you know if your liver is taxed out if you know if your liver is taxed out if you know it or you don't you're going to have it or you don't you're going to have it or you don't you're going to have excess estrogen and so what happens with excess estrogen and so what happens with excess estrogen and so what happens with men is their testosterone goes down and men is their testosterone goes down and men is their testosterone goes down and most of the time they're either going to most of the time they're either going to most of the time they're either going to the doctor and saying test my the doctor and saying test my the doctor and saying test my testosterone or the doctor is only testosterone or the doctor is only testosterone or the doctor is only testing the testosterone and not testing testing the testosterone and not testing testing the testosterone and not testing the estrogen and they're just saying oh the estrogen and they're just saying oh the estrogen and they're just saying oh you have low you have low you have low testosterone why do you have low testosterone why do you have low testosterone why do you have low testosterone testosterone testosterone because there's a variety of reasons because there's a variety of reasons because there's a variety of reasons Mercury toxicity aluminum toxicity or Mercury toxicity aluminum toxicity or Mercury toxicity aluminum toxicity or excess estrogen there's other issues but excess estrogen there's other issues but excess estrogen there's other issues but let's just focus on those and so if you let's just focus on those and so if you let's just focus on those and so if you have excess estrogen men will have um have excess estrogen men will have um have excess estrogen men will have um belly fat they can have uh more fat in belly fat they can have uh more fat in belly fat they can have uh more fat in their PEC area they could almost have their PEC area they could almost have their PEC area they could almost have like a little bit of a curvy figure um like a little bit of a curvy figure um like a little bit of a curvy figure um in their hips area um or they can have a in their hips area um or they can have a in their hips area um or they can have a very difficult time with building muscle very difficult time with building muscle very difficult time with building muscle and they just end up having more they and they just end up having more they and they just end up having more they have a higher BMI they have higher fat have a higher BMI they have higher fat have a higher BMI they have higher fat than they do muscle and that's because than they do muscle and that's because than they do muscle and that's because of the estrogen overload and of course of the estrogen overload and of course of the estrogen overload and of course there could be uh issues with uh retile there could be uh issues with uh retile there could be uh issues with uh retile dysfunction and things like that that's dysfunction and things like that that's dysfunction and things like that that's usually a combination of things blood usually a combination of things blood usually a combination of things blood flow included but different topics okay flow included but different topics okay flow included but different topics okay so if you have high so if you have high so if you have high cholesterol you have a [  ] up liver cholesterol you have a [  ] up liver cholesterol you have a [  ] up liver it's inevitable they work together it's inevitable they work together it's inevitable they work together strong probability you have excess strong probability you have excess strong probability you have excess estrogen which is lowering your estrogen which is lowering your estrogen which is lowering your testosterone that alone can be an issue testosterone that alone can be an issue testosterone that alone can be an issue when it comes to fertility quality of when it comes to fertility quality of when it comes to fertility quality of sperm then there are so many men that sperm then there are so many men that sperm then there are so many men that are walking around with silent are walking around with silent are walking around with silent infections in their urinary system infections in their urinary system infections in their urinary system ejaculatory duct prostate because ejaculatory duct prostate because ejaculatory duct prostate because they're all connected if you want to get they're all connected if you want to get they're all connected if you want

is an indicator number the top number is an indicator number the top number is an indicator for inflammation in the peripheral for inflammation in the peripheral for inflammation in the peripheral arteries so that means there's issues arteries so that means there's issues arteries so that means there's issues with inflammation that are constricting with inflammation that are constricting with inflammation that are constricting the blood vessels and it's affecting how the blood vessels and it's affecting how the blood vessels and it's affecting how well blood cont travel the bottom number
