hello everyone we are back at it so we hello everyone we are back at it so we hello everyone we are back at it so we actually had to cancel our webinar last actually had to cancel our webinar last actually had to cancel our webinar last week but I am back and I'm here to week but I am back and I'm here to week but I am back and I'm here to finish out the month of April all about finish out the month of April all about finish out the month of April all about hormones so most of the month I have hormones so most of the month I have hormones so most of the month I have been really focusing on hormones from a been really focusing on hormones from a been really focusing on hormones from a female perspective but today I'm female perspective but today I'm female perspective but today I'm actually talking more about hormone actually talking more about hormone actually talking more about hormone imbalances in men and one of the biggest imbalances in men and one of the biggest imbalances in men and one of the biggest being testosterone decline and this is being testosterone decline and this is being testosterone decline and this is something that unfortunately is coming something that unfortunately is coming something that unfortunately is coming up more and more and it's thought to be up more and more and it's thought to be up more and more and it's thought to be somewhat benign that there's really you somewhat benign that there's really you somewhat benign that there's really you know no rhyme or reason as to why know no rhyme or reason as to why know no rhyme or reason as to why testosterone is low hello testosterone is low hello testosterone is low hello those of you on Instagram and the most those of you on Instagram and the most those of you on Instagram and the most typical fix for a male with low typical fix for a male with low typical fix for a male with low testosterone is just to take some type testosterone is just to take some type testosterone is just to take some type of testosterone if that's going to be in of testosterone if that's going to be in of testosterone if that's going to be in a form of a pill if it's going to be in a form of a pill if it's going to be in a form of a pill if it's going to be in the form of a lotion or if it's going to the form of a lotion or if it's going to the form of a lotion or if it's going to be in the form of an injection so when be in the form of an injection so when be in the form of an injection so when it comes to the use of testosterone that it comes to the use of testosterone that it comes to the use of testosterone that kind of has its own side effects which kind of has its own side effects which kind of has its own side effects which we're going to talk about tonight but we're going to talk about tonight but we're going to talk about tonight but more importantly is to help you more importantly is to help you more importantly is to help you understand a little bit more about why understand a little bit more about why understand a little bit more about why testosterone might be declining number testosterone might be declining number testosterone might be declining number one number two is what are some of the one number two is what are some of the one number two is what are some of the things that are connected to it that things that are connected to it that things that are connected to it that might not be necessarily coming up in might not be necessarily coming up in might not be necessarily coming up in your run-of-the-mill testing and then your run-of-the-mill testing and then your run-of-the-mill testing and then what are some of the things that we can what are some of the things that we can what are some of the things that we can do about it to not only correct it but do about it to not only correct it but do about it to not only correct it but sustain that correction because sustain that correction because sustain that correction because unfortunately I think that that's one of unfortunately I think that that's one of unfortunately I think that that's one of the biggest problems when it comes to a the biggest problems when it comes to a the biggest problems when it comes to a lot of approaches in conventional care lot of approaches in conventional care lot of approaches in conventional care is that we're usually just trying to is that we're usually just trying to is that we're usually just trying to correct something in the moment or we're correct something in the moment or we're correct something in the moment or we're usually trying to just band-aid symptoms usually trying to just band-aid symptoms usually trying to just band-aid symptoms and we're not necessarily trying to and we're not necessarily trying to and we're not necessarily trying to correct the root cause number one but correct the root cause number one but correct the root cause number one but also we're not necessarily creating also we're not necessarily creating also we're not necessarily creating changes that can last and what I mean by changes that can last and what I mean by changes that can last and what I mean by that is if you are a male that comes up that is if you are a male that comes up that is if you are a male that comes up for low testosterone you know you take for low testosterone you know you take for low testosterone you know you take the pill or you get the injection and the pill or you get the injection and the pill or you get the injection and you feel better doing that but then it's you feel better doing that but then it's you feel better doing that but then it's as you come off of that pharmaceutical as you come off of that pharmaceutical as you come off of that pharmaceutical you go right back to where you were so you go right back to where you were so you go right back to where you were so it's really just trying to help you it's really just trying to help you it's really just trying to help you understand how you can create understand how you can create understand how you can create sustainability when it comes to fixing a sustainability when it comes to fixing a sustainability when it comes to fixing a hormonal problem and again you know we hormonal problem and again you know we hormonal problem and again you know we talk all month about female hormones so talk all month about female hormones so talk all month about female hormones so for those of you that are jumping on for those of you that are jumping on for those of you that are jumping on that are females if you go to our that are females if you go to our that are females if you go to our website you can actually learn a little website you can actually learn a little website you can actually learn a little bit more from the past webinars about bit more from the past webinars about bit more from the past webinars about female hormones but tonight specifically female hormones but tonight specifically female hormones but tonight specifically we're diving into testosterone and this we're diving into testosterone and this we're diving into testosterone and this epidemic of low testosterone and men so epidemic of low testosterone and men so epidemic of low testosterone and men so for those of you that are on instagram for those of you that are on instagram for those of you that are on instagram definitely feel free to populate some definitely feel free to populate some definitely feel free to populate some questions and the same thing for those questions and the same thing for those questions and the same thing for those of you on the webinar populate questions of you on the webinar populate questions of you on the webinar populate questions into the chat box or in the comment area into the chat box or in the comment area into the chat box or in the comment area but also those of you on Instagram if but also those of you on Instagram if but also those of you on Instagram if you are looking to have the full webinar you are looking to have the full webinar you are looking to have the full webinar because Instagram just cut me off after because Instagram just cut me off after because Instagram just cut me off after a little while just shoot me a direct a little while just shoot me a direct a little while just shoot me a direct message with your email and I will make message with your email and I will make message with your email and I will make sure that you get this information and sure that you get this information and sure that you get this information and you get the replay of the full webinar you get the replay of the full webinar you get the replay of the full webinar so again guys as we go feel free to pop so again guys as we go feel free to pop so again guys as we go feel free to pop in those questions so that I can answer in those questions so that I can answer in those questions so that I can answer them as we go but I'm going to kick off them as we go but I'm going to kick off them as we go but I'm going to kick off by kind of just really setting the by kind of just really setting the by kind of just really setting the foundation for what we're talking about foundation for what we're talking about foundation for what we're talking about which is low testosterone and men giving which is low testosterone and men giving which is low testosterone and men giving you insight as to why understanding the you insight as to why understanding the you insight as to why understanding the limitations with the testing that exists limitations with the testing that exists limitations with the testing that exists and then obviously most importantly and then obviously most importantly and then obviously most importantly giving you solutions to understand how giving you solutions to understand how giving you solutions to understand how we can resolve this but also to sustain we can resolve this but also to sustain we can resolve this but also to sustain that so a little bit about kind of the that so a little bit about kind of the that so a little bit about kind of the concept or the mindset for our specific concept or the mindset for our specific concept or the mindset for our specific practice is that we always kind of practice is that we always kind of practice is that we always kind of challenge do the things that we were challenge do the things that we were challenge do the things that we were being taught and all of the norm of how being taught and all of the norm of how being taught and all of the norm of how conventional medicine functions and conventional medicine functions and conventional medicine functions and really what I mean is that I just found really what I mean is that I just found really what I mean is that I just found that the approach was always about that the approach was always about that the approach was always about mandating the symptom there was very mandating the symptom there was very mandating the symptom there was very little sustainability when with the little sustainability when with the little sustainability when with the approaches meaning you take a approaches meaning you take a approaches meaning you take a testosterone injection or a testosterone testosterone injection or a testosterone testosterone injection or a testosterone pill and you feel better in the moment pill and you feel better in the moment pill and you feel better in the moment and then as soon as you come off of it and then as soon as you come off of it and then as soon as you come off of it you go right back to where you were you go right back to where you were you go right back to where you were so with always kind of challenging this so with always kind of challenging this so with always kind of challenging this and finding the voids with care we kept and finding the voids with care we kept and finding the voids with care we kept evolving our own approach and we kept evolving our own approach and we kept evolving our own approach and we kept really just trying to think beyond this really just trying to think beyond this really just trying to think beyond this segregation of systems and we stopped segregation of systems and we stopped segregation of systems and we stopped looking at the hormones as just being looking at the hormones as just being looking at the hormones as just being the hormones and really started to try the hormones and really started to try the hormones and really started to try to uncover what is causing the hormones to uncover what is causing the hormones to uncover what is causing the hormones to be imbalance to be imbalance to be imbalance why do some men have low testosterone why do some men have low testosterone why do some men have low testosterone and some men could have completely and some men could have completely and some men could have completely normal testosterone why do some men have normal testosterone why do some men have normal testosterone why do some men have a reptile dysfunction why do some men a reptile dysfunction why do some men a reptile dysfunction why do some men not have a rec tyldus function so it not have a rec tyldus function so it not have a rec tyldus function so it always you know poses that question and always you know poses that question and always you know poses that question and I think a lot of us are taught to I think a lot of us are taught to I think a lot of us are taught to believe that it's just genetics or it believe that it's just genetics or it believe that it's just genetics or it runs in the family or it's bad luck and runs in the family or it's bad luck and runs in the family or it's bad luck and that's not really the case it really that's not really the case it really that's not really the case it really comes down to a foundational reason and comes down to a foundational reason and comes down to a foundational reason and when you do better testing and you ask when you do better testing and you ask when you do better testing and you ask better questions you can actually better questions you can actually better questions you can actually uncover the reason why so for myself I uncover the reason why so for myself I uncover the reason why so for myself I know that some men might be listening know that some men might be listening know that some men might be listening and thinking like who is this girl and thinking like who is this girl and thinking like who is this girl that's you know sitting here trying to that's you know sitting here trying to that's you know sitting here trying to talk to us about abscess óscar own talk to us about abscess óscar own talk to us about abscess óscar own issues obviously you know as a female issues obviously you know as a female issues obviously you know as a female I'm not dealing with low testosterone I'm not dealing with low testosterone I'm not dealing with low testosterone I'm not dealing with you know erectile I'm not dealing with you know erectile I'm not dealing with you know erectile dysfunction and those types of things dysfunction and those types of things dysfunction and those types of things but when it comes to my specialty but when it comes to my specialty but when it comes to my specialty my specialty is being able to look at my specialty is being able to look at my specialty is being able to look at the body as an integration of systems so the body as an integration of systems so the body as an integration of systems so that I can really focus on what is that I can really focus on what is that I can really focus on what is causing your imbalance what is causing causing your imbalance what is causing causing your imbalance what is causing your hormonal issue and because of your hormonal issue and because of your hormonal issue and because of leveraging better testing and leveraging leveraging better testing and leveraging leveraging better testing and leveraging more advanced medical diagnostics I have more advanced medical diagnostics I have more advanced medical diagnostics I have the ability to work with so many the ability to work with so many the ability to work with so many different populations and that is different populations and that is different populations and that is females with hormone imbalance as well females with hormone imbalance as well females with hormone imbalance as well as males with hormone imbalance as well as males with hormone imbalance as well as males with hormone imbalance as well as autoimmune conditions and as autoimmune conditions and as autoimmune conditions and neurological conditions because it's not neurological conditions because it's not neurological conditions because it's not about the symptoms and it's not about about the symptoms and it's not about about the symptoms and it's not about even necessarily the diagnosis it's even necessarily the diagnosis it's even necessarily the diagnosis it's about what is the cause what is the about what is the cause what is the about what is the cause what is the route to it all because as complexes you route to it all because as complexes you route to it all because as complexes you may feel that you are and you feel like may feel that you are and you feel like may feel that you are and you feel like you're fatigued you're fatigued you're fatigued and your sleep is bad and your energy is and your sleep is bad and your energy is and your sleep is bad and your energy is low and you know your your testosterone low and you know your your testosterone low and you know your your testosterone is low and your gut is off all of those is low and your gut is off all of those is low and your gut is off all of those things are connected despite what you things are connected despite what you things are connected despite what you are being told so it's just a matter of are being told so it's just a matter of are being told so it's just a matter of figuring out what's the route and how figuring out what's the route and how figuring out what's the route and how many of those symptoms are actually in many of those symptoms are actually in many of those symptoms are actually in effect to the route so for my cell all effect to the route so for my cell all effect to the route so for my cell all the getting's I didn't get into this the getting's I didn't get into this the getting's I didn't get into this field because I had a testosterone issue field because I had a testosterone issue field because I had a testosterone issue per se but I didn't even really get into per se but I didn't even really get into per se but I didn't even really get into this field because I was really really this field because I was really really this field because I was really really sick and nobody was able to figure it sick and nobody was able to figure it sick and nobody was able to figure it out and then eventually a functional out and then eventually a functional out and then eventually a functional integrative doctor helped me I was kind integrative doctor helped me I was kind integrative doctor helped me I was kind of the opposite and I feel like this of the opposite and I feel like this of the opposite and I feel like this really resonates with a lot of of people really resonates with a lot of of people really resonates with a lot of of people but including men and females that are but including men and females that are but including men and females that are listening right now and maybe you're listening right now and maybe you're listening right now and maybe you're listening on behalf of your husband who listening on behalf of your husband who listening on behalf of your husband who maybe has a testosterone issue maybe has a testosterone issue maybe has a testosterone issue how many men don't we have symptoms and how many men don't we have symptoms and how many men don't we have symptoms and for the longest time I actually wondered for the longest time I actually wondered for the longest time I actually wondered do men ignore their symptoms do men ignore their symptoms do men ignore their symptoms do they just kind of power through and do they just kind of power through and do they just kind of power through and you know do what they have to do and you know do what they have to do and you know do what they have to do and work and and you know provide for the work and and you know provide for the work and and you know provide for the family and do they just ignore their family and do they just ignore their family and do they just ignore their symptoms and what's really interesting symptoms and what's really interesting symptoms and what's really interesting about men is men even versus females is about men is men even versus females is about men is men even versus females is that men have higher blood volume than that men have higher blood volume than that men have higher blood volume than females which that alone will make them females which that alone will make them females which that alone will make them less symptomatic so when I've dealt with less symptomatic so when I've dealt with less symptomatic so when I've dealt with families that we're dealing with a mold families that we're dealing with a mold families that we're dealing with a mold situation they ended up having toxic situation they ended up having toxic situation they ended up having toxic mold in their homes I know that I've had mold in their homes I know that I've had mold in their homes I know that I've had to have many conversations with men to have many conversations with men to have many conversations with men because the male in the family would say because the male in the family would say because the male in the family would say I don't understand how there could be I don't understand how there could be I don't understand how there could be mold in my house because I feel fine but mold in my house because I feel fine but mold in my house because I feel fine but my wife and kids are sick so how would I my wife and kids are sick so how would I my wife and kids are sick so how would I feel sign if it's truly something wrong feel sign if it's truly something wrong feel sign if it's truly something wrong in our home and that really came back to in our home and that really came back to in our home and that really came back to this conversation of blood volume as this conversation of blood volume as this conversation of blood volume as well as the constituents of blood so men well as the constituents of blood so men well as the constituents of blood so men tend to have higher amounts of iron in tend to have higher amounts of iron in tend to have higher amounts of iron in their blood as well as other minerals their blood as well as other minerals their blood as well as other minerals but iron being the key one and that's but iron being the key one and that's but iron being the key one and that's because females will because females will because females will and to lose a lot of iron through their and to lose a lot of iron through their and to lose a lot of iron through their menstrual cycle so yes men it is not our menstrual cycle so yes men it is not our menstrual cycle so yes men it is not our hormones it is actually our blood volume hormones it is actually our blood volume hormones it is actually our blood volume as well as the constituents of our blood as well as the constituents of our blood as well as the constituents of our blood that make us more symptomatic so the that make us more symptomatic so the that make us more symptomatic so the point of me even saying this really has point of me even saying this really has point of me even saying this really has more to do with the fact that I know for more to do with the fact that I know for more to do with the fact that I know for myself before I did testing I felt fine myself before I did testing I felt fine myself before I did testing I felt fine I felt fine in my mind at least I kind I felt fine in my mind at least I kind I felt fine in my mind at least I kind of settled for fatigue and poor sleep of settled for fatigue and poor sleep of settled for fatigue and poor sleep you know imbalanced hormones and you know

comes up in your lab work you can have a comes up in your lab work you can have a comes up in your lab work you can have a low functioning thyroid you could have low functioning thyroid you could have low functioning thyroid you could have low testosterone and you know one of low testosterone and you know one of low testosterone and you know one of your friends can have the same exact your friends can have the same exact your friends can have the same exact thing but you need a completely thing but you need a completely thing but you need a completely different approach every single person different approach every single person different approach every single person is extremely extremely different and it is extremely extremely different and it is extremely extremely different and it really comes down to everyone deserves a really comes down to everyone deserves a really comes down to everyone deserves a personalized approach because your DNA personalized approach because your DNA personalized approach because your DNA is different than my DNA and our is different than my DNA and our is different than my DNA and our genetics are different and our bodies genetics are different and our bodies genetics are different and our bodies are different and our mood is different are different and our mood is different are different and our mood is different there are so many different factors to there are so many different factors to there are so many different factors to be considered and we really need to be considered and we really need to be considered and we really need to start demanding more out of our approach start demanding more out of our approach start demanding more out of our approach to health care because it really comes to health care because it really comes to health care because it really comes down to knowing that it can be really down to knowing that it can be really down to knowing that it can be really really specific if you use the right really specific if you use the right really specific if you use the right type of testing and the right type of type of testing and the right type of type of testing and the right type of approach so right before we really dive approach so right before we really dive approach so right before we really dive into this testosterone topic the first into this testosterone topic the first into this testosterone topic the first thing that I want to have you guys thing that I want to have you guys thing that I want to have you guys understand is that one of the biggest understand is that one of the biggest understand is that one of the biggest detriment to how medicine is being done detriment to how medicine is being done detriment to how medicine is being done right now is that we are thinking that right now is that we are thinking that right now is that we are thinking that everything is separate and we are everything is separate and we are everything is separate and we are seeking out the specialist or the sub seeking out the specialist or the sub seeking out the specialist or the sub specialist for whatever our ailment our specialist for whatever our ailment our specialist for whatever our ailment our problem is and we are assuming that all problem is and we are assuming that all problem is and we are assuming that all of our systems are segregated and are of our systems are segregated and are of our systems are segregated and are not interacting to each other with each not interacting to each other with each not interacting to each other with each other so we are assuming that our gut other so we are assuming that our gut other so we are assuming that our gut has nothing to do with our testosterone has nothing to do with our testosterone has nothing to do with our testosterone levels and we are assuming that our levels and we are assuming that our levels and we are assuming that our cardiovascular system has nothing to do cardiovascular system has nothing to do cardiovascular system has nothing to do with our neurological system and this with our neurological system and this with our neurological system and this brings me to the very basic point of the brings me to the very basic point of the brings me to the very basic point of the lack of understanding base lack of understanding base lack of understanding base physiology so 90 to 95% of your physiology so 90 to 95% of your physiology so 90 to 95% of your serotonin which is your feel-good serotonin which is your feel-good serotonin which is your feel-good hormone is made in your gut so if you hormone is made in your gut so if you hormone is made in your gut so if you are battling depression but you are also are battling depression but you are also are battling depression but you are also dealing with irritable bowel syndrome dealing with irritable bowel syndrome dealing with irritable bowel syndrome how are you treating maybe your how are you treating maybe your how are you treating maybe your depression with an antidepressant when depression with an antidepressant when depression with an antidepressant when the root cause of it can potentially be the root cause of it can potentially be the root cause of it can potentially be the fact that you're irritable bowel the fact that you're irritable bowel the fact that you're irritable bowel syndrome is not being managed properly syndrome is not being managed properly syndrome is not being managed properly and the same thing goes for addiction and the same thing goes for addiction and the same thing goes for addiction and addicted behaviors and testosterone and addicted behaviors and testosterone and addicted behaviors and testosterone and this is one of the things we're and this is one of the things we're and this is one of the things we're gonna dive more into but when you have gonna dive more into but when you have gonna dive more into but when you have low testosterone you actually are gonna low testosterone you actually are gonna low testosterone you actually are gonna have low dopamine levels so if you have have low dopamine levels so if you have have low dopamine levels so if you have low dopamine levels you're gonna have a low dopamine levels you're gonna have a low dopamine levels you're gonna have a tendency to have more addictive tendency to have more addictive tendency to have more addictive behaviors or compulsive behaviors so you behaviors or compulsive behaviors so you behaviors or compulsive behaviors so you might be a big gambler you might always might be a big gambler you might always might be a big gambler you might always be daredevil you may be speeding be daredevil you may be speeding be daredevil you may be speeding constantly you may be really angry and constantly you may be really angry and constantly you may be really angry and irritable and this comes back to your irritable and this comes back to your irritable and this comes back to your testosterone imbalances so we want to testosterone imbalances so we want to testosterone imbalances so we want to sit here and think that our neurological sit here and think that our neurological sit here and think that our neurological and mental health has nothing to do with and mental health has nothing to do with and mental health has nothing to do with our hormones but they are extremely our hormones but they are extremely our hormones but they are extremely extremely tied together so we could be extremely tied together so we could be extremely tied together so we could be treating two different things treating two different things treating two different things independently when they're actually a independently when they're actually a independently when they're actually a hundred percent correlated so one of the hundred percent correlated so one of the hundred percent correlated so one of the big things I always get asked is okay big things I always get asked is okay big things I always get asked is okay that makes sense that makes sense that makes sense why doesn't everybody think like that or why doesn't everybody think like that or why doesn't everybody think like that or why hasn't my primary care doctor told why hasn't my primary care doctor told why hasn't my primary care doctor told me that or why doesn't my me that or why doesn't my me that or why doesn't my endocrinologist told me that and the endocrinologist told me that and the endocrinologist told me that and the biggest thing you have to understand is biggest thing you have to understand is biggest thing you have to understand is that most of our testing that we do that most of our testing that we do that most of our testing that we do traditionally and conventionally is traditionally and conventionally is traditionally and conventionally is going to be a very chemistry base going to be a very chemistry base going to be a very chemistry base typical thing that you do on an annual typical thing that you do on an annual typical thing that you do on an annual basis is going to be blood work blood basis is going to be blood work blood basis is going to be blood work blood work is a biochemical based test so if work is a biochemical based test so if work is a biochemical based test so if there is a change or an alteration in there is a change or an alteration in there is a change or an alteration in your chemistry or your chemistry levels your chemistry or your chemistry levels your chemistry or your chemistry levels then we are going to manipulate that and then we are going to manipulate that and then we are going to manipulate that and the way we're going to manipulate that the way we're going to manipulate that the way we're going to manipulate that is through chemistry is through chemistry is through chemistry aka drugs pharmacology so the foundation aka drugs pharmacology so the foundation aka drugs pharmacology so the foundation of our testing is going to then create of our testing is going to then create of our testing is going to then create the solution to be pharmacology based the solution to be pharmacology based the solution to be pharmacology based so when you start to dabble in this so when you start to dabble in this so when you start to dabble in this world of alternative medicine you world of alternative medicine you world of alternative medicine you realize that chemistry is such a small realize that chemistry is such a small realize that chemistry is such a small part of the puzzle so even if we want to part of the puzzle so even if we want to part of the puzzle so even if we want to go natural and we want to use say a go natural and we want to use say a go natural and we want to use say a supplement or an herb to manipulate the supplement or an herb to manipulate the supplement or an herb to manipulate the testosterone we still might fall flat testosterone we still might fall flat testosterone we still might fall flat because maybe that's not what that because maybe that's not what that because maybe that's not what that person needs maybe they're having issues person needs maybe they're having issues person needs maybe they're having issues with their testosterone levels because with their testosterone levels because with their testosterone levels because they have a prostate issue or maybe they they have a prostate issue or maybe they they have a prostate issue or maybe they have issues with testosterone levels have issues with testosterone levels have issues with testosterone levels because they had a head injury so because they had a head injury so because they had a head injury so there's a lot of things to be considered there's a lot of things to be considered there's a lot of things to be considered and this really brings me to the last and this really brings me to the last and this really brings me to the last point on this slide is that it's not point on this slide is that it's not point on this slide is that it's not about having this one pill or about having this one pill or about having this one pill or one-size-fits-all treatment when we're one-size-fits-all treatment when we're one-size-fits-all treatment when we're trying to correct a hormone we really trying to correct a hormone we really trying to correct a hormone we really need to look at what is the root cause need to look at what is the root cause need to look at what is the root cause of the hormone being off because most of of the hormone being off because most of of the hormone being off because most of the time you will take something to fix the time you will take something to fix the time you will take something to fix that hormone or boost that hormone level that hormone or boost that hormone level that hormone or boost that hormone level and as soon as you come off of it or and as soon as you come off of it or and as soon as you come off of it or stop your injections you're gonna go stop your injections you're gonna go stop your injections you're gonna go right back to where you were so it's right back to where you were so it's right back to where you were so it's very rare that chemically manipulating a very rare that chemically manipulating a very rare that chemically manipulating a hormone pathway or a hormone level is hormone pathway or a hormone level is hormone pathway or a hormone level is going to stick long-term so this thinner going to stick long-term so this thinner going to stick long-term so this thinner brings me to one of my recent case brings me to one of my recent case brings me to one of my recent case studies so I had a 37 year old male he studies so I had a 37 year old male he studies so I had a 37 year old male he came to me because he was dealing with came to me because he was dealing with came to me because he was dealing with um some different imbalances his biggest um some different imbalances his biggest um some different imbalances his biggest complaints was he was dealing with complaints was he was dealing with complaints was he was dealing with fatigue he was definitely feeling like fatigue he was definitely feeling like fatigue he was definitely feeling like his mood was really off and his his mood was really off and his his mood was really off and his performance was off not sexually but his performance was off not sexually but his performance was off not sexually but his performance was off from a physical performance was off from a physical performance was off from a physical fitness standpoint so he was like listen fitness standpoint so he was like listen fitness standpoint so he was like listen I just want you to you know I'm gonna I just want you to you know I'm gonna I just want you to you know I'm gonna really ate my diet I want you to look at really ate my diet I want you to look at really ate my diet I want you to look at the supplements um that I'm taking and the supplements um that I'm taking and the supplements um that I'm taking and my pre and post workout and I really my pre and post workout and I really my pre and post workout and I really want you to you know just kind of tweak want you to you know just kind of tweak want you to you know just kind of tweak these things so that I can build more these things so that I can build more these things so that I can build more muscle I can you know be better with all muscle I can you know be better with all muscle I can you know be better with all of the activities and the sports that of the activities and the sports that of the activities and the sports that I'm doing so anytime I do my I'm doing so anytime I do my I'm doing so anytime I do my consultation I'm gonna dig deeper I want consultation I'm gonna dig deeper I want consultation I'm gonna dig deeper I want to understand the bigger picture because to understand the bigger picture because to understand the bigger picture because so many of us have normalized things so so many of us have normalized things so so many of us have normalized things so I ask questions I ask questions I ask questions it's always so funny to me because it's always so funny to me because it's always so funny to me because people are like no no no and I asked the people are like no no no and I asked the people are like no no no and I asked the same question like 7 different ways and same question like 7 different ways and same question like 7 different ways and they're just like oh well yeah but they're just like oh well yeah but they're just like oh well yeah but doesn't everybody have that and and it's doesn't everybody have that and and it's doesn't everybody have that and and it's always so interesting too because when I always so interesting too because when I always so interesting too because when I asked about injuries and especially with asked about injuries and especially with asked about injuries and especially with males they usually blow it off because males they usually blow it off because males they usually blow it off because they only think that if it was a they only think that if it was a they only think that if it was a concussion it's serious but really any concussion it's serious but really any concussion it's serious but really any head injury and any car accident above 5 head injury and any car accident above 5 head injury and any car accident above 5 miles an hour is all significant but in miles an hour is all significant but in miles an hour is all significant but in the conversation it turned up that this the conversation it turned up that this the conversation it turned up that this this guy he actually had a concussion this guy he actually had a concussion this guy he actually had a concussion and he definitely felt that he was never and he definitely felt that he was never and he definitely felt that he was never fully I was a normal but he just didn't fully I was a normal but he just didn't fully I was a normal but he just didn't feel a hundred percent himself since he feel a hundred percent himself since he feel a hundred percent himself since he had the head injury so of course I asked had the head injury so of course I asked had the head injury so of course I asked well where where was the injury you know well where where was the injury you know well where where was the injury you know how did it happen was it severe etc so how did it happen was it severe etc so how did it happen was it severe etc so it turned out he fell off a bike I came it turned out he fell off a bike I came it turned out he fell off a bike I came as a cyclist he fell off a bike he hit as a cyclist he fell off a bike he hit as a cyclist he fell off a bike he hit the his forehead he actually had a the his forehead he actually had a the his forehead he actually had a pretty big scar he definitely had a pretty big scar he definitely had a pretty big scar he definitely had a concussion he wasn't hospitalized or concussion he wasn't hospitalized or concussion he wasn't hospitalized or anything for it but he was disoriented anything for it but he was disoriented anything for it but he was disoriented for about a day get a pretty bad for about a day get a pretty bad for about a day get a pretty bad headache and then you know about a day headache and then you know about a day headache and then you know about a day or two went by and he was you know he or two went by and he was you know he or two went by and he was you know he was better yeah like I said he wasn't a was better yeah like I said he wasn't a was better yeah like I said he wasn't a hundred percent himself but he felt hundred percent himself but he felt hundred percent himself but he felt definitely better and was able to definitely better and was able to definitely better and was able to continue on with his activities of daily continue on with his activities of daily continue on with his activities of daily living so the interesting part about living so the interesting part about living so the interesting part about this is that the front of the brain is this is that the front of the brain is this is that the front of the brain is where you have most of your testosterone where you have most of your testosterone where you have most of your testosterone receptors so these testosterone receptors so these testosterone receptors so these testosterone receptors are extremely important for receptors are extremely important for receptors are extremely important for your body to utilize testosterone number your body to utilize testosterone number your body to utilize testosterone number one number two is these testosterone one number two is these testosterone one number two is these testosterone receptors also play a very significant receptors also play a very significant receptors also play a very significant role in your dopamine production so I role in your dopamine production so I role in your dopamine production so I started to kind of piece the puzzle started to kind of piece the puzzle started to kind of piece the puzzle together for this guy and what the big together for this guy and what the big together for this guy and what the big culprit behind him not being able to get culprit behind him not being able to get culprit behind him not being able to get back to his physical fitness that he was back to his physical fitness that he was back to his physical fitness that he was hoping for he also was having some minor hoping for he also was having some minor hoping for he also was having some minor prostate issues and he also did report prostate issues and he also did report prostate issues and he also did report that he was having trouble finishing that he was having trouble finishing that he was having trouble finishing intercourse not always the most fun intercourse not always the most fun intercourse not always the most fun conversation that men would conversation that men would conversation that men would have with their female doctor but he was have with their female doctor but he was have with their female doctor but he was you know being really transparent about you know being really transparent about you know being really transparent about it after we were digging in and he was it after we were digging in and he was it after we were digging in and he was able to make more sense of this so able to make more sense of this so able to make more sense of this so really what it came down to is that it really what it came down to is that it really what it came down to is that it all started with a head injury so the all started with a head injury so the all started with a head injury so the head injury created a lot of head injury created a lot of head injury created a lot of inflammation in the frontal lobe which inflammation in the frontal lobe which inflammation in the frontal lobe which then compromised the testosterone then compromised the testosterone then compromised the testosterone receptors which then compromised the receptors which then compromised the receptors which then compromised the dopamine levels so he was having trouble dopamine levels so he was having trouble dopamine levels so he was having trouble with his fitness because of the low with his fitness because of the low with his fitness because of the low testosterone he was also having trouble testosterone he was also having trouble testosterone he was also having trouble with finishing intercourse because of with finishing intercourse because of with finishing intercourse because of the low testosterone and then on top of the low testosterone and then on top of the low testosterone and then on top of that he was also dealing with some minor that he was also dealing with some minor that he was also dealing with some minor headaches and he was also dealing with headaches and he was also dealing with headaches and he was also dealing with fatigue because he was not producing his fatigue because he was not producing his fatigue because he was not producing his dopamine properly so this is something dopamine properly so this is something dopamine properly so this is something that going to a traditional physician that going to a traditional physician that going to a traditional physician they would've said oh you have low they would've said oh you have low they would've said oh you have low testosterone here's a testosterone testosterone here's a testosterone testosterone here's a testosterone medication or here is an injection and medication or here is an injection and medication or here is an injection and let's you know call it a day but that let's you know call it a day but that let's you know call it a day but that would have been the guy who felt a would have been the guy who felt a would have been the guy who felt a little bit better on that you know little bit better on that you know little bit better on that you know medication or injection and then he medication or injection and then he medication or injection and then he would have came off of it and he would would have came off of it and he would would have came off of it and he would have went right back to where he was have went right back to where he was have went right back to where he was because that was not the route the route because that was not the route the route because that was not the route the route was never the testosterone the route was was never the testosterone the route was was never the testosterone the route was the head injury so some of the biggest the head injury so some of the biggest the head injury so some of the biggest things that come up when we're dealing things that come up when we're dealing things that come up when we're dealing with hormones is and this is females and with hormones is and this is females and with hormones is and this is females and males across the board so when we're males across the board so when we're males across the board so when we're dealing with some of the biggest things dealing with some of the biggest things dealing with some of the biggest things that are gonna compromise hormones that are gonna compromise hormones that are gonna compromise hormones including testosterone is a lot of the including testosterone is a lot of the including testosterone is a lot of the hormones were exposed to through the hormones were exposed to through the hormones were exposed to through the diets that we consume and a lot of the diets that we consume and a lot of the diets that we consume and a lot of the animal products because of industrial animal products because of industrial animal products because of industrial farming so I'm gonna briefly go through farming so I'm gonna briefly go through farming so I'm gonna briefly go through these right now because I'm going to these right now because I'm going to these right now because I'm going to dive deeper into them in just a minute dive deeper into them in just a minute dive deeper into them in just a minute the other thing that is very overlooked the other thing that is very overlooked the other thing that is very overlooked is all the chemicals that our hormone is all the chemicals that our hormone is all the chemicals that our hormone disruptors in our personal products and disruptors in our personal products and disruptors in our personal products and Men I know you're not you know wearing Men I know you're not you know wearing Men I know you're not you know wearing makeup and dousing yourselves in the makeup and dousing yourselves in the makeup and dousing yourselves in the half of the the products that females half of the the products that females half of the the products that females are but you're still using soap you're are but you're still using soap you're are but you're still using soap you're still using shampoo you're still using still using shampoo you're still using still using shampoo you're still using conditioner you're probably using some conditioner you're probably using some conditioner you're probably using some some type of hair wax gel whatever some type of hair wax gel whatever some type of hair wax gel whatever another big part of this is blood sugar another big part of this is blood sugar another big part of this is blood sugar instability I'm instability I'm instability I'm fortunately there is a massive fortunately there is a massive fortunately there is a massive population of men that are dealing with population of men that are dealing with population of men that are dealing with pre-diabetes or diabetes which has a lot pre-diabetes or diabetes which has a lot pre-diabetes or diabetes which has a lot to do with hormone imbalance and to do with hormone imbalance and to do with hormone imbalance and testosterone decline and another big testosterone decline and another big testosterone decline and another big thing is circulation men are not always thing is circulation men are not always thing is circulation men are not always super aware of their circulatory issues super aware of their circulatory issues super aware of their circulatory issues because what do they say the first sign because what do they say the first sign because what do they say the first sign of a heart attack is a heart attack oh of a heart attack is a heart attack oh of a heart attack is a heart attack oh no my Instagram just shut off on me all no my Instagram just shut off on me all no my Instagram just shut off on me all right so we're back live so I don't know right so we're back live so I don't know right so we're back live so I don't know why that cut me off but so talking about why that cut me off but so talking about why that cut me off but so talking about you know circulation one of the big you know circulation one of the big you know circulation one of the big things about circulation is that most things about circulation is that most things about circulation is that most men are not aware that they have men are not aware that they have men are not aware that they have circulatory issues because females are a circulatory issues because females are a circulatory issues because females are a little bit more aware because they have little bit more aware because they have little bit more aware because they have a tendency to either have cold hands and a tendency to either have cold hands and a tendency to either have cold hands and feet or they have a tendency to have feet or they have a tendency to have feet or they have a tendency to have varicose veins some men obviously do varicose veins some men obviously do varicose veins some men obviously do have main issues but not a ton of men have main issues but not a ton of men have main issues but not a ton of men are usually aware because it's usually are usually aware because it's usually are usually aware because it's usually not unfortunately until after the fact not unfortunately until after the fact not unfortunately until after the fact that they have some type of serious that they have some type of serious that they have some type of serious cardiovascular event that now they know cardiovascular event that now they know cardiovascular event that now they know that they are having cardiovascular that they are having cardiovascular that they are having cardiovascular issues another big thing too is stress issues another big thing too is stress issues another big thing too is stress men have a tendency to power through men have a tendency to power through men have a tendency to power through stress and stuff it down because you stress and stuff it down because you stress and stuff it down because you know they don't like to show that know they don't like to show that know they don't like to show that vulnerability or don't like to show that vulnerability or don't like to show that vulnerability or don't like to show that weakness but what's so interesting to me weakness but what's so interesting to me weakness but what's so interesting to me about stress is that so many people say about stress is that so many people say about stress is that so many people say oh I handle stress well or oh you know oh I handle stress well or oh you know oh I handle stress well or oh you know it's just life and I just have to power it's just life and I just have to power it's just life and I just have to power through and I just have to keep moving through and I just have to keep moving through and I just have to keep moving on and I have to put food on the table on and I have to put food on the table on and I have to put food on the table but the thing is is that genetically and but the thing is is that genetically and but the thing is is that genetically and you know genetically pretty much is that you know genetically pretty much is that you know genetically pretty much is that our bodies have not evolved that much so our bodies have not evolved that much so our bodies have not evolved that much so back in the day when we were back in the day when we were back in the day when we were hunter-gatherers and cavemen and we were hunter-gatherers and cavemen and we were hunter-gatherers and cavemen and we were put in a scenario that was life altering put in a scenario that was life altering put in a scenario that was life altering like we were you know being attacked by like we were you know being attacked by like we were you know being attacked by a tiger or we were running from you know a tiger or we were running from you know a tiger or we were running from you know some very scary situation some very scary situation some very scary situation that put our bodies into a fighter that put our bodies into a fighter that put our bodies into a fighter flight and what's interesting is flight and what's interesting is flight and what's interesting is nowadays most of us are living in nowadays most of us are living in nowadays most of us are living in fighter flight because we're dealing fighter flight because we're dealing fighter flight because we're dealing with the stressors of everyday life of with the stressors of everyday life of with the stressors of everyday life of having to get up and commute and deal having to get up and commute and deal having to get up and commute and deal with our crazy boss or dealing with with our crazy boss or dealing with with our crazy boss or dealing with family drama or dealing with our kids family drama or dealing with our kids family drama or dealing with our kids having issues and your body doesn't know having issues and your body doesn't know having issues and your body doesn't know the difference of fighting a tiger or a the difference of fighting a tiger or a the difference of fighting a tiger or a crappy email you've got from your boss crappy email you've got from your boss crappy email you've got from your boss so it's very uh it's very important for so it's very uh it's very important for so it's very uh it's very important for us to know that we all need to consider us to know that we all need to consider us to know that we all need to consider our stress levels and manage them in our stress levels and manage them in our stress levels and manage them in whatever way is appropriate you know I'm whatever way is appropriate you know I'm whatever way is appropriate you know I'm not gonna sit here and tell everyone to not gonna sit here and tell everyone to not gonna sit here and tell everyone to meditate but sometimes it's just going meditate but sometimes it's just going meditate but sometimes it's just going for a run I nor you know meeting up with for a run I nor you know meeting up with for a run I nor you know meeting up with a friend or having a good time another a friend or having a good time another a friend or having a good time another big thing that affects our hormones is big thing that affects our hormones is big thing that affects our hormones is gut issues but I don't want to just sit gut issues but I don't want to just sit gut issues but I don't want to just sit here and say gut issues I want to say here and say gut issues I want to say here and say gut issues I want to say immune system stress in general which immune system stress in general which immune system stress in general which I'm going to talk a little bit more I'm going to talk a little bit more I'm going to talk a little bit more about as we continue through this about as we continue through this about as we continue through this webinar so we're gonna skip over this webinar so we're gonna skip over this webinar so we're gonna skip over this one because I didn't delete this slide one because I didn't delete this slide one because I didn't delete this slide site um but first and foremost I've site um but first and foremost I've site um but first and foremost I've already kind of scratched the surface already kind of scratched the surface already kind of scratched the surface with this when it comes to testosterone with this when it comes to testosterone with this when it comes to testosterone testosterone in men plays a huge huge testosterone in men plays a huge huge testosterone in men plays a huge huge role in behavior and what I mean by this role in behavior and what I mean by this role in behavior and what I mean by this is if your testosterone has declined you is if your testosterone has declined you is if your testosterone has declined you are going to have a tendency to have are going to have a tendency to have are going to have a tendency to have lower dopamine levels so dopamine and lower dopamine levels so dopamine and lower dopamine levels so dopamine and serotonin are two feel-good hormones serotonin are two feel-good hormones serotonin are two feel-good hormones serotonin is more associated with joy serotonin is more associated with joy serotonin is more associated with joy and you know really feeling happy and and you know really feeling happy and and you know really feeling happy and content and getting joy out of life content and getting joy out of life content and getting joy out of life dopamine on the other hand is very dopamine on the other hand is very dopamine on the other hand is very interesting because dopamine is when we interesting because dopamine is when we interesting because dopamine is when we have a lot of lack of motivation we find have a lot of lack of motivation we find have a lot of lack of motivation we find it very hard to thin it or start and it very hard to thin it or start and it very hard to thin it or start and finish either projects or different finish either projects or different finish either projects or different types of goals and a lot of times like types of goals and a lot of times like types of goals and a lot of times like that's a complaint that we have as that's a complaint that we have as that's a complaint that we have as females with our spouses is that you females with our spouses is that you females with our spouses is that you know men don't have as much attention to know men don't have as much attention to know men don't have as much attention to detail or we detail or we detail or we feel like they're paying attention or we feel like they're paying attention or we feel like they're paying attention or we find that it's really hard for them to find that it's really hard for them to find that it's really hard for them to complete something they told us they complete something they told us they complete something they told us they were gonna complete and part of that can were gonna complete and part of that can were gonna complete and part of that can come back to these lower testosterone come back to these lower testosterone come back to these lower testosterone levels that are affecting the dopamine levels that are affecting the dopamine levels that are affecting the dopamine so some of the signs of this should be so some of the signs of this should be so some of the signs of this should be you know is your husband is your spouse you know is your husband is your spouse you know is your husband is your spouse is your son dealing with some like vices is your son dealing with some like vices is your son dealing with some like vices or addictive behaviors are they or addictive behaviors are they or addictive behaviors are they constantly wanting sugar are they constantly wanting sugar are they constantly wanting sugar are they constantly needing to work out are they constantly needing to work out are they constantly needing to work out are they constantly wanting to go gamble are they constantly wanting to go gamble are they constantly wanting to go gamble are they constantly speeding in the car are they constantly speeding in the car are they constantly speeding in the car are they like impulsively buying things online like impulsively buying things online like impulsively buying things online these are all signs of a dopamine these are all signs of a dopamine these are all signs of a dopamine decline which is going to be correlated decline which is going to be correlated decline which is going to be correlated back to testosterone so the other thing back to testosterone so the other thing back to testosterone so the other thing too with with dopamine is that this too with with dopamine is that this too with with dopamine is that this could be you know drinking problems not could be you know drinking problems not could be you know drinking problems not being able to give up cigarettes not being able to give up cigarettes not being able to give up cigarettes not being able to give up certain foods so being able to give up certain foods so being able to give up certain foods so it doesn't always have to it could be it doesn't always have to it could be it doesn't always have to it could be you know something along the lines of you know something along the lines of you know something along the lines of drugs and alcohol but it also can be an drugs and alcohol but it also can be an drugs and alcohol but it also can be an addiction to exercise and working out at addiction to exercise and working out at addiction to exercise and working out at the same time so when it comes to the same time so when it comes to the same time so when it comes to testosterone and all those receptors in testosterone and all those receptors in testosterone and all those receptors in the frontal lobe we can obviously have the frontal lobe we can obviously have the frontal lobe we can obviously have issues with our testosterone just based issues with our testosterone just based issues with our testosterone just based off of having a head injury as well so off of having a head injury as well so off of having a head injury as well so the thing that I want new females and the thing that I want new females and the thing that I want new females and males to know about your kids is that males to know about your kids is that males to know about your kids is that the frontal lobe is underdeveloped the frontal lobe is underdeveloped the frontal lobe is underdeveloped in boys and it takes longer to develop in boys and it takes longer to develop in boys and it takes longer to develop partly because of all the testosterone partly because of all the testosterone partly because of all the testosterone receptors so obviously your child is not receptors so obviously your child is not receptors so obviously your child is not going to go through puberty until you going to go through puberty until you going to go through puberty until you know they're a teenager so their frontal know they're a teenager so their frontal know they're a teenager so their frontal lobe is not fully developed and it does lobe is not fully developed and it does lobe is not fully developed and it does not develop as fast as a female because not develop as fast as a female because not develop as fast as a female because of the late onset of puberty so a lot of of the late onset of puberty so a lot of of the late onset of puberty so a lot of times we're sitting there you know times we're sitting there you know times we're sitting there you know diagnosing these young boys with a VD diagnosing these young boys with a VD diagnosing these young boys with a VD and ADHD when really at the end of the and ADHD when really at the end of the and ADHD when really at the end of the day it's just a slow development of the day it's just a slow development of the day it's just a slow development of the - a lobe due to puberty onset coming - a lobe due to puberty onset coming - a lobe due to puberty onset coming later in life later in life later in life obviously there's extremes of this obviously there's extremes of this obviously there's extremes of this hyperactive behavior but we need to hyperactive behavior but we need to hyperactive behavior but we need to really be able to weigh out you know is really be able to weigh out you know is really be able to weigh out you know is there something wrong with my child or there something wrong with my child or there something wrong with my child or is it normal for them to be acting a is it normal for them to be acting a is it normal for them to be acting a certain way and maybe be a little certain way and maybe be a little certain way and maybe be a little hyperactive or not be able to fully hyperactive or not be able to fully hyperactive or not be able to fully concentrate because of you know the the concentrate because of you know the the concentrate because of you know the the frontal lobe developing slower than a frontal lobe developing slower than a frontal lobe developing slower than a female so a lot of times we're over female so a lot of times we're over female so a lot of times we're over diagnosing this a DD and ADHD but diagnosing this a DD and ADHD but diagnosing this a DD and ADHD but naturally the frontal lobe of the brain naturally the frontal lobe of the brain naturally the frontal lobe of the brain takes longer to develop in young boys so when it comes to this frontal lobe and when it comes to this frontal lobe and when it comes to this frontal lobe and the testosterone receptors in older men the testosterone receptors in older men the testosterone receptors in older men not necessarily kids so because the the not necessarily kids so because the the not necessarily kids so because the the testosterone receptors play such a testosterone receptors play such a testosterone receptors play such a significant role in dopamine this has a significant role in dopamine this has a significant role in dopamine this has a very specific tie to memory loss so when very specific tie to memory loss so when very specific tie to memory loss so when you're dealing with older men that are you're dealing with older men that are you're dealing with older men that are really struggling with their memory and really struggling with their memory and really struggling with their memory and not necessarily just short-term memory not necessarily just short-term memory not necessarily just short-term memory but when you're starting to notice that but when you're starting to notice that but when you're starting to notice that the long-term memory is going that's the long-term memory is going that's the long-term memory is going that's when you need to be more concerned when you need to be more concerned when you need to be more concerned because this is a sign that the brain is because this is a sign that the brain is because this is a sign that the brain is degenerating and this is a sign that degenerating and this is a sign that degenerating and this is a sign that they are on their way to dimension halt they are on their way to dimension halt they are on their way to dimension halt Alzheimer's so I'm not saying this to Alzheimer's so I'm not saying this to Alzheimer's so I'm not saying this to scare anyone but I think that a lot of scare anyone but I think that a lot of scare anyone but I think that a lot of us are seeing this neurological us are seeing this neurological us are seeing this neurological neurological decline and our loved ones neurological decline and our loved ones neurological decline and our loved ones and we have no idea that there's and we have no idea that there's and we have no idea that there's anything that we can do about it it's anything that we can do about it it's anything that we can do about it it's kind of just like well once the brain - kind of just like well once the brain - kind of just like well once the brain - generates and you know you start losing generates and you know you start losing generates and you know you start losing that memory that's the end of the story that memory that's the end of the story that memory that's the end of the story and there's nothing you can do about it and there's nothing you can do about it and there's nothing you can do about it and I'm gonna tell you right now that is and I'm gonna tell you right now that is and I'm gonna tell you right now that is not true number one and number two is we not true number one and number two is we not true number one and number two is we need to start taking things more need to start taking things more need to start taking things more seriously at younger ages and what I seriously at younger ages and what I seriously at younger ages and what I mean by this is that there are so many mean by this is that there are so many mean by this is that there are so many people struggling with their brains people struggling with their brains people struggling with their brains there are so many people that can't there are so many people that can't there are so many people that can't concentrate they can't pay attention concentrate they can't pay attention concentrate they can't pay attention they are not they don't know where their they are not they don't know where their they are not they don't know where their keys are they're walking into room keys are they're walking into room keys are they're walking into room saying why did I walk in here for and saying why did I walk in here for and saying why did I walk in here for and we're just blowing it off and it's we're just blowing it off and it's we're just blowing it off and it's because you know maybe we're getting an because you know maybe we're getting an because you know maybe we're getting an MRI and the MRI is like no everything MRI and the MRI is like no everything MRI and the MRI is like no everything looks good so I will tell you by the looks good so I will tell you by the looks good so I will tell you by the time you see changes on an MRI you have time you see changes on an MRI you have time you see changes on an MRI you have seventy percent decline in your white seventy percent decline in your white seventy percent decline in your white matter so to keep that as simple as matter so to keep that as simple as matter so to keep that as simple as possible is your brain is compromised by possible is your brain is compromised by possible is your brain is compromised by 70% by the time you're gonna see 70% by the time you're gonna see 70% by the time you're gonna see anything on an MRI so let's not sit anything on an MRI so let's not sit anything on an MRI so let's not sit around and just do an MRI and say no around and just do an MRI and say no around and just do an MRI and say no we're clear there's nothing wrong with we're clear there's nothing wrong with we're clear there's nothing wrong with my brain and part of that has a lot to my brain and part of that has a lot to my brain and part of that has a lot to do with how unstable our blood sugar is do with how unstable our blood sugar is do with how unstable our blood sugar is so one of the biggest things that is so one of the biggest things that is so one of the biggest things that is causing problems with our neurological causing problems with our neurological causing problems with our neurological system is the fact that there is so much system is the fact that there is so much system is the fact that there is so much sugar hidden sugar in our food in our sugar hidden sugar in our food in our sugar hidden sugar in our food in our beverages and we are completely in this beverages and we are completely in this beverages and we are completely in this insulin crisis and what's happening is insulin crisis and what's happening is insulin crisis and what's happening is we are having massive inflammation in we are having massive inflammation in we are having massive inflammation in our brain because of how imbalanced our our brain because of how imbalanced our our brain because of how imbalanced our blood sugar is so to give you a way to blood sugar is so to give you a way to blood sugar is so to give you a way to kind of know is my blood sugar imbalance kind of know is my blood sugar imbalance kind of know is my blood sugar imbalance is are you craving sugar if you're is are you craving sugar if you're is are you craving sugar if you're craving sugar chances are you have blood craving sugar chances are you have blood craving sugar chances are you have blood sugar instability if you wake up in the sugar instability if you wake up in the sugar instability if you wake up in the morning and you're not hungry and you morning and you're not hungry and you morning and you're not hungry and you almost have an aversion to food you're almost have an aversion to food you're almost have an aversion to food you're having a blood sugar issue if you drink having a blood sugar issue if you drink having a blood sugar issue if you drink coffee and then you don't eat until coffee and then you don't eat until coffee and then you don't eat until lunchtime and then by the time it hit lunchtime and then by the time it hit lunchtime and then by the time it hit hits lunchtime you're starving that's hits lunchtime you're starving that's hits lunchtime you're starving that's blood sugar instability if you blood sugar instability if you blood sugar instability if you constantly have to have something sweet constantly have to have something sweet constantly have to have something sweet after you eat that's blood sugar after you eat that's blood sugar after you eat that's blood sugar instability if you need midday coffee instability if you need midday coffee instability if you need midday coffee you have blood sugar instability so you have blood sugar instability so you have blood sugar instability so unfortunately almost everything that I unfortunately almost everything that I unfortunately almost everything that I said most of you can relate to so it's said most of you can relate to so it's said most of you can relate to so it's time to pay more attention to your blood time to pay more attention to your blood time to pay more attention to your blood sugar and see what you can do to improve sugar and see what you can do to improve sugar and see what you can do to improve this step number one is eat breakfast this step number one is eat breakfast this step number one is eat breakfast eat breakfast and don't eat sugar eat eat breakfast and don't eat sugar eat eat breakfast and don't eat sugar eat protein in a hard-boiled egg you have an protein in a hard-boiled egg you have an protein in a hard-boiled egg you have an omelet have a frittata have something omelet have a frittata have something omelet have a frittata have something that is pro that is pro that is pro and that based in the morning it will and that based in the morning it will and that based in the morning it will completely transform your blood sugar completely transform your blood sugar completely transform your blood sugar and your brain for the rest of the day I and your brain for the rest of the day I and your brain for the rest of the day I promise you try it so some of the other promise you try it so some of the other promise you try it so some of the other biggest signs of low testosterone in a biggest signs of low testosterone in a biggest signs of low testosterone in a male is they're going to be dealing with male is they're going to be dealing with male is they're going to be dealing with low libido having erectile dysfunction low libido having erectile dysfunction low libido having erectile dysfunction they might be having a lot of they might be having a lot of they might be having a lot of fluctuations in their moods that is not fluctuations in their moods that is not fluctuations in their moods that is not warranted meaning they're kind of having warranted meaning they're kind of having warranted meaning they're kind of having these highs and lows they're getting these highs and lows they're getting these highs and lows they're getting angry they're getting irritable they're angry they're getting irritable they're angry they're getting irritable they're feeling low but it's not necessarily feeling low but it's not necessarily feeling low but it's not necessarily triggered by anything it's just like why triggered by anything it's just like why triggered by anything it's just like why do I feel like this they start to have do I feel like this they start to have do I feel like this they start to have sweating attacks and they also start to sweating attacks and they also start to sweating attacks and they also start to have loss of muscle mass as well those have loss of muscle mass as well those have loss of muscle mass as well those are all signs of low testosterone so the are all signs of low testosterone so the are all signs of low testosterone so the other really big thing is that when it other really big thing is that when it other really big thing is that when it comes to testosterone there are many men comes to testosterone there are many men comes to testosterone there are many men that are having low testosterone but that are having low testosterone but that are having low testosterone but they're actually having elevations in they're actually having elevations in they're actually having elevations in estrogen and I'm gonna explain this a estrogen and I'm gonna explain this a estrogen and I'm gonna explain this a little bit more in depth but one of the little bit more in depth but one of the little bit more in depth but one of the primary reasons why men are dealing with primary reasons why men are dealing with primary reasons why men are dealing with this seesaw this seesaw this seesaw of low testosterone and high estrogen of low testosterone and high estrogen of low testosterone and high estrogen has so much to do with food and has so much to do with food and has so much to do with food and unfortunately there is many many things unfortunately there is many many things unfortunately there is many many things in our diet that are contributing to us in our diet that are contributing to us in our diet that are contributing to us getting exposed to different types of getting exposed to different types of getting exposed to different types of estrogens estrogens estrogens that are coming from a lot of animal that are coming from a lot of animal that are coming from a lot of animal products soy and even some grains so products soy and even some grains so products soy and even some grains so number one is when you're at the store number one is when you're at the store number one is when you're at the store and you're seeing this grass-fed and you're seeing this grass-fed and you're seeing this grass-fed grass-finished organic pasture-raised grass-finished organic pasture-raised grass-finished organic pasture-raised and you're like I have no idea what all and you're like I have no idea what all and you're like I have no idea what all of this means overall the biggest thing of this means overall the biggest thing of this means overall the biggest thing is is that people are looking for is is that people are looking for is is that people are looking for grass-fed they're looking for organic grass-fed they're looking for organic grass-fed they're looking for organic they're looking for these things because they're looking for these things because they're looking for these things because they're trying to avoid the hormones they're trying to avoid the hormones they're trying to avoid the hormones that are being injected the reason why that are being injected the reason why that are being injected the reason why the animals are being treated with the animals are being treated with the animals are being treated with hormone therapy is because if you inject hormone therapy is because if you inject hormone therapy is because if you inject them with hormone therapy they get them with hormone therapy they get them with hormone therapy they get fatter they weigh more means they're fatter they weigh more means they're fatter they weigh more means they're worse worse worse more money so then there's this tricky more money so then there's this tricky more money so then there's this tricky piece of the puzzle because maybe your piece of the puzzle because maybe your piece of the puzzle because maybe your chicken or your beef is not being chicken or your beef is not being chicken or your beef is not being treated with hormones but they're being treated with hormones but they're being treated with hormones but they're being fed a soy diet so soy is in a fed a soy diet so soy is in a fed a soy diet so soy is in a phytoestrogen so this is something that phytoestrogen so this is something that phytoestrogen so this is something that mimics estrogen so you might be getting mimics estrogen so you might be getting mimics estrogen so you might be getting your antibiotic hormone free chicken but your antibiotic hormone free chicken but your antibiotic hormone free chicken but that chicken may have been fed a soy that chicken may have been fed a soy that chicken may have been fed a soy diet which is still giving you exposure diet which is still giving you exposure diet which is still giving you exposure to hormones so I get it guys I know to hormones so I get it guys I know to hormones so I get it guys I know you're like probably ripping your hair you're like probably ripping your hair you're like probably ripping your hair out going oh my gosh this is super out going oh my gosh this is super out going oh my gosh this is super overwhelming but this is the reality of overwhelming but this is the reality of overwhelming but this is the reality of it we have to be our own advocates we it we have to be our own advocates we it we have to be our own advocates we have to do better research we have to have to do better research we have to have to do better research we have to work with the nutritionist work with the nutritionist work with the nutritionist we have to understand these things we have to understand these things we have to understand these things because it's not black and white anymore because it's not black and white anymore because it's not black and white anymore there is a ton of gray and the way that there is a ton of gray and the way that there is a ton of gray and the way that we label food in the u.s. is actually we label food in the u.s. is actually we label food in the u.s. is actually alarming so the other thing too is that alarming so the other thing too is that alarming so the other thing too is that a lot of us are trying to get away from a lot of us are trying to get away from a lot of us are trying to get away from gluten and as we get away from gluten gluten and as we get away from gluten gluten and as we get away from gluten we're going to these gluten-free we're going to these gluten-free we're going to these gluten-free products and a lot of those products are products and a lot of those products are products and a lot of those products are corn based so we're consuming a lot of corn based so we're consuming a lot of corn based so we're consuming a lot of these corn-based products thinking these corn-based products thinking these corn-based products thinking alright well this is good I'm getting alright well this is good I'm getting alright well this is good I'm getting away from the cool or I'm getting away away from the cool or I'm getting away away from the cool or I'm getting away from the wheat but what's happening is from the wheat but what's happening is from the wheat but what's happening is there is a lot of corn that is being there is a lot of corn that is being there is a lot of corn that is being treated and also growing in specific treated and also growing in specific treated and also growing in specific environments that it has something environments that it has something environments that it has something called myko estrogens myko stands for called myko estrogens myko stands for called myko estrogens myko stands for mycotoxins which is molds toxins from mycotoxins which is molds toxins from mycotoxins which is molds toxins from mold but there are very specific types mold but there are very specific types mold but there are very specific types of molds that can mimic estrogen in the of molds that can mimic estrogen in the of molds that can mimic estrogen in the body so one of the most common micro body so one of the most common micro body so one of the most common micro estrogens is called zero Lennon zero estrogens is called zero Lennon zero estrogens is called zero Lennon zero Lennon is most commonly found on corn so Lennon is most commonly found on corn so Lennon is most commonly found on corn so again guys we have to be really careful again guys we have to be really careful again guys we have to be really careful we have to make sure we're not overdoing we have to make sure we're not overdoing we have to make sure we're not overdoing the corn we have to look for non-gmo the corn we have to look for non-gmo the corn we have to look for non-gmo corn so so do not sit here and corn so so do not sit here and corn so so do not sit here and underestimate your food playing an underestimate your food playing an underestimate your food playing an extremely big role in your testosterone extremely big role in your testosterone extremely big role in your testosterone decline and one of the biggest things decline and one of the biggest things decline and one of the biggest things for you to know about your body shape if for you to know about your body shape if for you to know about your body shape if you have low testosterone and elevated you have low testosterone and elevated you have low testosterone and elevated estrogen is do you have loss of muscle estrogen is do you have loss of muscle estrogen is do you have loss of muscle mass do you find that you're not toned mass do you find that you're not toned mass do you find that you're not toned you have very like almost like your you have very like almost like your you have very like almost like your muscles feel mushy I don't want them to muscles feel mushy I don't want them to muscles feel mushy I don't want them to sound bad but it's that's kind of the sound bad but it's that's kind of the sound bad but it's that's kind of the reality of it and you also find that reality of it and you also find that reality of it and you also find that you're holding a lot of weight in your you're holding a lot of weight in your you're holding a lot of weight in your abdomen and then also the higher the abdomen and then also the higher the abdomen and then also the higher the estrogen guest's you start to get fatty estrogen guest's you start to get fatty estrogen guest's you start to get fatty deposits in the in the tech area and you deposits in the in the tech area and you deposits in the in the tech area and you develop what we call gynecomastia which develop what we call gynecomastia which develop what we call gynecomastia which is man boobs so this is happening to a is man boobs so this is happening to a is man boobs so this is happening to a lot of young boys and this is because lot of young boys and this is because lot of young boys and this is because these kids are eating all these these kids are eating all these these kids are eating all these processed foods that have all of all processed foods that have all of all processed foods that have all of all different types of soy and micro different types of soy and micro different types of soy and micro estrogens in it so just to make make estrogens in it so just to make make estrogens in it so just to make make this worse is that once the estrogen this worse is that once the estrogen this worse is that once the estrogen starts to become a problem starts to become a problem starts to become a problem then there is this pathway called the then there is this pathway called the then there is this pathway called the aromatisse pathway that starts to also aromatisse pathway that starts to also aromatisse pathway that starts to also dysfunction so pretty much what starts dysfunction so pretty much what starts dysfunction so pretty much what starts to happen is that this aroma to aroma to happen is that this aroma to aroma to happen is that this aroma to aroma taste pathway starts to take taste pathway starts to take taste pathway starts to take testosterone and funnel it and convert testosterone and funnel it and convert testosterone and funnel it and convert it all into a sturgeon and this is it all into a sturgeon and this is it all into a sturgeon and this is partly because of blood sugar issues so partly because of blood sugar issues so partly because of blood sugar issues so really they just to keep this as simple really they just to keep this as simple really they just to keep this as simple as possible is the more unstable your as possible is the more unstable your as possible is the more unstable your blood sugar is or the more refined blood sugar is or the more refined blood sugar is or the more refined carbohydrates and sugar you have in your carbohydrates and sugar you have in your carbohydrates and sugar you have in your diet diet diet the stronger the or the more dysfunction the stronger the or the more dysfunction the stronger the or the more dysfunction you're gonna have in this aroma days you're gonna have in this aroma days you're gonna have in this aroma days pathway so all of your testosterone is pathway so all of your testosterone is pathway so all of your testosterone is gonna get funneled into estrogen and gonna get funneled into estrogen and gonna get funneled into estrogen and then you're gonna go to your doctor and then you're gonna go to your doctor and then you're gonna go to your doctor and they're gonna tell you you have low they're gonna tell you you have low they're gonna tell you you have low testosterone and they might give you testosterone and they might give you testosterone and they might give you some way to improve or increase your some way to improve or increase your some way to improve or increase your testosterone again maybe an injection testosterone again maybe an injection testosterone again maybe an injection and maybe a pill and you're gonna take and maybe a pill and you're gonna take and maybe a pill and you're gonna take that and all that testosterone is going that and all that testosterone is going that and all that testosterone is going to continue to get converted into more to continue to get converted into more to continue to get converted into more and more and more and more more estrogen because this pathway is more estrogen because this pathway is more estrogen because this pathway is not functioning so before you go on this not functioning so before you go on this not functioning so before you go on this testosterone supplementation fix your testosterone supplementation fix your testosterone supplementation fix your liver which is where the aromatized liver which is where the aromatized liver which is where the aromatized pathway resides and stop eating sugar pathway resides and stop eating sugar pathway resides and stop eating sugar and processed crap because if you and processed crap because if you and processed crap because if you balance your blood sugar you will find balance your blood sugar you will find balance your blood sugar you will find that your testosterone will improve by that your testosterone will improve by that your testosterone will improve by itself so the other thing is that when itself so the other thing is that when itself so the other thing is that when it comes to testosterone it's going to it comes to testosterone it's going to it comes to testosterone it's going to compromise dopamine levels so again I compromise dopamine levels so again I compromise dopamine levels so again I know that we've already touched on this know that we've already touched on this know that we've already touched on this so the dopamine is gonna play a very so the dopamine is gonna play a very so the dopamine is gonna play a very significant role in memory but the significant role in memory but the significant role in memory but the further your dopamine declines is how we further your dopamine declines is how we further your dopamine declines is how we start to develop Parkinson's disease so start to develop Parkinson's disease so start to develop Parkinson's disease so Parkinson's is a massive massive decline Parkinson's is a massive massive decline Parkinson's is a massive massive decline of dopamine so when we're dealing with of dopamine so when we're dealing with of dopamine so when we're dealing with Parkinson's this can be for a lot of Parkinson's this can be for a lot of Parkinson's this can be for a lot of different reasons but one of the pieces different reasons but one of the pieces different reasons but one of the pieces of the puzzle can be associated with low of the puzzle can be associated with low of the puzzle can be associated with low testosterone so again this is not about testosterone so again this is not about testosterone so again this is not about oh my gosh I have low testosterone oh my gosh I have low testosterone oh my gosh I have low testosterone I don't want Parkinson's let me go take I don't want Parkinson's let me go take I don't want Parkinson's let me go take up a testosterone pill or injection this up a testosterone pill or injection this up a testosterone pill or injection this is about why what is the root is about why what is the root is about why what is the root what is the cause why is your what is the cause why is your what is the cause why is your testosterone low and we really owe it to testosterone low and we really owe it to testosterone low and we really owe it to ourselves to figure that out ourselves to figure that out ourselves to figure that out so in addition to that when it comes to so in addition to that when it comes to so in addition to that when it comes to one of the biggest things that is one of the biggest things that is one of the biggest things that is extremely overlooked when you are extremely overlooked when you are extremely overlooked when you are getting diagnosed with low testosterone getting diagnosed with low testosterone getting diagnosed with low testosterone is do you have something that is is do you have something that is is do you have something that is stressing your immune system and this is stressing your immune system and this is stressing your immune system and this is not just for men this is females as well not just for men this is females as well not just for men this is females as well one of the biggest things that derails one of the biggest things that derails one of the biggest things that derails our hormone balance is if our immune our hormone balance is if our immune our hormone balance is if our immune system is busy if it is dealing with system is busy if it is dealing with system is busy if it is dealing with some type of infection that we are not some type of infection that we are not some type of infection that we are not necessarily aware of and this happens so necessarily aware of and this happens so necessarily aware of and this happens so often with men because have you ever often with men because have you ever often with men because have you ever heard of a male say that they have a heard of a male say that they have a heard of a male say that they have a urinary tract infection never I have urinary tract infection never I have urinary tract infection never I have very specific technologies in my office very specific technologies in my office very specific technologies in my office that can pretty much of that can pretty much of that can pretty much of evaluate the urinary tract within a evaluate the urinary tract within a evaluate the urinary tract within a couple of minutes and it I thought Li couple of minutes and it I thought Li couple of minutes and it I thought Li with a lot of things but I can look at with a lot of things but I can look at with a lot of things but I can look at the urinary tract specifically so I will the urinary tract specifically so I will the urinary tract specifically so I will see different bacterias come up in the see different bacterias come up in the see different bacterias come up in the urinary tract for a male and I'll ask urinary tract for a male and I'll ask urinary tract for a male and I'll ask them do you have any symptoms do you them do you have any symptoms do you them do you have any symptoms do you have any burning in your urination do have any burning in your urination do have any burning in your urination do you have an odor with your urination do you have an odor with your urination do you have an odor with your urination do a cloudy urination do you have bubbly a cloudy urination do you have bubbly a cloudy urination do you have bubbly urination nope nope nope nope nope nope urination nope nope nope nope nope nope urination nope nope nope nope nope nope females on the other hand we are usually females on the other hand we are usually females on the other hand we are usually pretty aware when we have a urinary pretty aware when we have a urinary pretty aware when we have a urinary tract infection we end up being a lot tract infection we end up being a lot tract infection we end up being a lot more symptomatic so what's so more symptomatic so what's so more symptomatic so what's so fascinating is the most typical thing fascinating is the most typical thing fascinating is the most typical thing that resonates with a man when I when that resonates with a man when I when that resonates with a man when I when I'm doing their consultation is do you I'm doing their consultation is do you I'm doing their consultation is do you get hot when you sleep kick the covers get hot when you sleep kick the covers get hot when you sleep kick the covers off want the fan on need air low etc and off want the fan on need air low etc and off want the fan on need air low etc and men are like oh yeah I'm always hot when men are like oh yeah I'm always hot when men are like oh yeah I'm always hot when I sleep or my husband such a heater I I sleep or my husband such a heater I I sleep or my husband such a heater I can't even touch it when you sleep can't even touch it when you sleep can't even touch it when you sleep because he's so hot that is a sign that because he's so hot that is a sign that because he's so hot that is a sign that your body is dealing with a low-grade your body is dealing with a low-grade your body is dealing with a low-grade infection so most of the time no doctor infection so most of the time no doctor infection so most of the time no doctor is looking for a low-grade infection is looking for a low-grade infection is looking for a low-grade infection they're looking at do you have an acute they're looking at do you have an acute they're looking at do you have an acute sore throat do you have an acute fungal sore throat do you have an acute fungal sore throat do you have an acute fungal infection do you have an acute sinus infection do you have an acute sinus infection do you have an acute sinus infection nobody is necessarily looking infection nobody is necessarily looking infection nobody is necessarily looking for a low-grade infection but what I for a low-grade infection but what I for a low-grade infection but what I will tell you is when we are dealing will tell you is when we are dealing will tell you is when we are dealing with certain types of infections maybe with certain types of infections maybe with certain types of infections maybe it's in the urinary tract maybe it's in it's in the urinary tract maybe it's in it's in the urinary tract maybe it's in the gastrointestinal system maybe the gastrointestinal system maybe the gastrointestinal system maybe there's a lot of reflux there's GERD there's a lot of reflux there's GERD there's a lot of reflux there's GERD there's indigestion maybe there's an there's indigestion maybe there's an there's indigestion maybe there's an infection in the in the gums in the infection in the in the gums in the infection in the in the gums in the tooth in the sinuses whatever the case tooth in the sinuses whatever the case tooth in the sinuses whatever the case may be these infections will activate may be these infections will activate may be these infections will activate what we call a microglial response that what we call a microglial response that what we call a microglial response that is actually the immune system of your is actually the immune system of your is actually the immune system of your brain so if your microglial response brain so if your microglial response brain so if your microglial response goes up then you are going to have goes up then you are going to have goes up then you are going to have inflammation in your brain which is inflammation in your brain which is inflammation in your brain which is going to suppress your testosterone going to suppress your testosterone going to suppress your testosterone absorption so it's very important to absorption so it's very important to absorption so it's very important to understand that there can easily be an understand that there can easily be an understand that there can easily be an infection that's hanging out in the infection that's hanging out in the infection that's hanging out in the background that we are completely background that we are completely background that we are completely unaware unaware unaware that can be causing the testosterone to that can be causing the testosterone to that can be causing the testosterone to also be low so one of the stories that also be low so one of the stories that also be low so one of the stories that I'm gonna tell you is is very specific I'm gonna tell you is is very specific I'm gonna tell you is is very specific on that case but before I do that I want on that case but before I do that I want on that case but before I do that I want to say one more thing about testosterone to say one more thing about testosterone to say one more thing about testosterone it comes to toxicity because toxicity is it comes to toxicity because toxicity is it comes to toxicity because toxicity is something that is also being overlooked something that is also being overlooked something that is also being overlooked have any of you ever been evaluated for have any of you ever been evaluated for have any of you ever been evaluated for toxicity by your general physician or toxicity by your general physician or toxicity by your general physician or your primary care doctor I can guarantee your primary care doctor I can guarantee your primary care doctor I can guarantee the answer is no and it's because that the answer is no and it's because that the answer is no and it's because that medicine doesn't even acknowledge that medicine doesn't even acknowledge that medicine doesn't even acknowledge that toxicity is a problem but there are toxicity is a problem but there are toxicity is a problem but there are toxins that we are being exposed to left toxins that we are being exposed to left toxins that we are being exposed to left and right we are exposed to toxins every and right we are exposed to toxins every and right we are exposed to toxins every time we use some type of hair gel time we use some type of hair gel time we use some type of hair gel shampoo conditioner lotion hair dye shampoo conditioner lotion hair dye shampoo conditioner lotion hair dye whatever then on top of it we also have whatever then on top of it we also have whatever then on top of it we also have toxicity that can come from dental work toxicity that can come from dental work toxicity that can come from dental work silver fillings in the teeth implants silver fillings in the teeth implants silver fillings in the teeth implants crowns implore bridges all of those crowns implore bridges all of those crowns implore bridges all of those print things then we also have mold print things then we also have mold print things then we also have mold exposure so for those of you that are exposure so for those of you that are exposure so for those of you that are like oh I've never been exposed to mold like oh I've never been exposed to mold like oh I've never been exposed to mold there's no way I would have known so there's no way I would have known so there's no way I would have known so first of all chances are you wouldn't first of all chances are you wouldn't first of all chances are you wouldn't have known because mold hides it's in have known because mold hides it's in have known because mold hides it's in it's in ventilation systems it's behind it's in ventilation systems it's behind it's in ventilation systems it's behind drywall very rarely do we know if we're drywall very rarely do we know if we're drywall very rarely do we know if we're being exposed to mold but another piece being exposed to mold but another piece being exposed to mold but another piece of that too is that there is a ton of of that too is that there is a ton of of that too is that there is a ton of mold in food some of the most common mold in food some of the most common mold in food some of the most common foods that are high in mold peanut foods that are high in mold peanut foods that are high in mold peanut butter wine cheese coffee wheat wheat butter wine cheese coffee wheat wheat butter wine cheese coffee wheat wheat means bread pasta all of that good stuff means bread pasta all of that good stuff means bread pasta all of that good stuff so we are eating foods consistently that so we are eating foods consistently that so we are eating foods consistently that are exposing us to molds on top of that are exposing us to molds on top of that are exposing us to molds on top of that we are using personal products on a we are using personal products on a we are using personal products on a daily basis that are also disrupting our daily basis that are also disrupting our daily basis that are also disrupting our hormones and these are things that were hormones and these are things that were hormones and these are things that were not being evaluated for so you could not being evaluated for so you could not being evaluated for so you could easily have toxicity that is playing the easily have toxicity that is playing the easily have toxicity that is playing the biggest role in your testosterone biggest role in your testosterone biggest role in your testosterone decline decline decline so the really interesting thing about so the really interesting thing about so the really interesting thing about this too is that one of my personal this too is that one of my personal this too is that one of my personal mentors dr. clean heart one of the mentors dr. clean heart one of the mentors dr. clean heart one of the things that he said is that have you things that he said is that have you things that he said is that have you ever seen a male who has gone on ever seen a male who has gone on ever seen a male who has gone on testosterone therapy that you found to testosterone therapy that you found to testosterone therapy that you found to either have really odd symptoms or lose either have really odd symptoms or lose either have really odd symptoms or lose their memory or even kind of lose their their memory or even kind of lose their their memory or even kind of lose their common sense and it was almost a little common sense and it was almost a little common sense and it was almost a little comical when he was saying this but when comical when he was saying this but when comical when he was saying this but when I started to pay more attention to it I started to pay more attention to it I started to pay more attention to it because some of my my clients come to me because some of my my clients come to me because some of my my clients come to me and they've already been on testosterone and they've already been on testosterone and they've already been on testosterone therapy and I started to notice that he therapy and I started to notice that he therapy and I started to notice that he was really correct and one of the was really correct and one of the was really correct and one of the reasons this happens is because of the reasons this happens is because of the reasons this happens is because of the massive role that testosterone plays in massive role that testosterone plays in massive role that testosterone plays in the brain there are certain toxins that the brain there are certain toxins that the brain there are certain toxins that we get exposed to that are neurotoxic so we get exposed to that are neurotoxic so we get exposed to that are neurotoxic so to keep it as simple as possible one of to keep it as simple as possible one of to keep it as simple as possible one of those is mercury so mercury the way that those is mercury so mercury the way that those is mercury so mercury the way that we're exposed is through fish tuna fish we're exposed is through fish tuna fish we're exposed is through fish tuna fish swordfish shark being the three top fish swordfish shark being the three top fish swordfish shark being the three top fish exposures and then silver fillings and exposures and then silver fillings and exposures and then silver fillings and our teeth so even if you've had your our teeth so even if you've had your our teeth so even if you've had your silver fillings removed you can easily silver fillings removed you can easily silver fillings removed you can easily still have mercury that is in the body still have mercury that is in the body still have mercury that is in the body that was absorbed in the time period that was absorbed in the time period that was absorbed in the time period that you had the silver in your mouth so that you had the silver in your mouth so that you had the silver in your mouth so with that being said if you have mercury with that being said if you have mercury with that being said if you have mercury in your body which is classified as in your body which is classified as in your body which is classified as neurotoxic then you can go on a neurotoxic then you can go on a neurotoxic then you can go on a testosterone therapy and what that testosterone therapy and what that testosterone therapy and what that testosterone therapy is it can testosterone therapy is it can testosterone therapy is it can potentiate the mercury aka it can cause potentiate the mercury aka it can cause potentiate the mercury aka it can cause your brain to be more affected by the your brain to be more affected by the your brain to be more affected by the mercury so you can find that a male that mercury so you can find that a male that mercury so you can find that a male that goes on testosterone therapy sometimes goes on testosterone therapy sometimes goes on testosterone therapy sometimes is having memory issues or having mood is having memory issues or having mood is having memory issues or having mood issues or almost just like not making a issues or almost just like not making a issues or almost just like not making a lot of sense like just you're kind of lot of sense like just you're kind of lot of sense like just you're kind of like what's going on with you what you like what's going on with you what you like what's going on with you what you seem really really off so you have to be seem really really off so you have to be seem really really off so you have to be very very careful because taking very very careful because taking very very careful because taking testosterone is not necessarily as testosterone is not necessarily as testosterone is not necessarily as benign as it's always being presented benign as it's always being presented benign as it's always being presented okay so one of my my patients he was a okay so one of my my patients he was a okay so one of my my patients he was a 44 a 45 year old guy um he came in he 44 a 45 year old guy um he came in he 44 a 45 year old guy um he came in he had prostatitis very very mild had prostatitis very very mild had prostatitis very very mild he had fatigue and he had some swollen he had fatigue and he had some swollen he had fatigue and he had some swollen lymph nodes these were things that came lymph nodes these were things that came lymph nodes these were things that came up as we were talking he primarily was up as we were talking he primarily was up as we were talking he primarily was dealing with like joint pain and he dealing with like joint pain and he dealing with like joint pain and he really wanted to like get back to really wanted to like get back to really wanted to like get back to feeling good because he wanted to feeling good because he wanted to feeling good because he wanted to continue with all his activities of continue with all his activities of continue with all his activities of daily living he was like really big into daily living he was like really big into daily living he was like really big into mountain biking and being really mountain biking and being really mountain biking and being really outdoorsy so he really wanted to get outdoorsy so he really wanted to get outdoorsy so he really wanted to get back to those things so as we were back to those things so as we were back to those things so as we were talking you know he's like yeah my talking you know he's like yeah my talking you know he's like yeah my memory is not as good as it used to be memory is not as good as it used to be memory is not as good as it used to be but I'm getting old but I'm getting old but I'm getting old yeah I'm achy but I'm getting old yeah I yeah I'm achy but I'm getting old yeah I yeah I'm achy but I'm getting old yeah I have mild headaches but they're no big have mild headaches but they're no big have mild headaches but they're no big deal they've been going on since I was a deal they've been going on since I was a deal they've been going on since I was a kid my prostate you know is a little kid my prostate you know is a little kid my prostate you know is a little inflamed it doesn't really give me many inflamed it doesn't really give me many inflamed it doesn't really give me many problems it just came up in my bloodwork problems it just came up in my bloodwork problems it just came up in my bloodwork and then my swollen lymph nodes they and then my swollen lymph nodes they and then my swollen lymph nodes they come and go but usually it's just come and go but usually it's just come and go but usually it's just because I think I'm getting like a cold because I think I'm getting like a cold because I think I'm getting like a cold or a sore throat so he primarily was or a sore throat so he primarily was or a sore throat so he primarily was told again with the prostatitis that told again with the prostatitis that told again with the prostatitis that that was really not very symptomatic it that was really not very symptomatic it that was really not very symptomatic it was elevated was elevated was elevated he had an elevated PSA which came back he had an elevated PSA which came back he had an elevated PSA which came back and one of his physicals that he did his and one of his physicals that he did his and one of his physicals that he did his joint pain he chalked up to just having joint pain he chalked up to just having joint pain he chalked up to just having a really active lifestyle and getting a really active lifestyle and getting a really active lifestyle and getting old headaches again happening since he old headaches again happening since he old headaches again happening since he was a teen I you know I get them but was a teen I you know I get them but was a teen I you know I get them but it's just me that's me and then he was it's just me that's me and then he was it's just me that's me and then he was diagnosed with the low testosterone and diagnosed with the low testosterone and diagnosed with the low testosterone and he was recommended testosterone shots so he was recommended testosterone shots so he was recommended testosterone shots so then as we really started to kind of then as we really started to kind of then as we really started to kind of piece the puzzle together here one of piece the puzzle together here one of piece the puzzle together here one of the big things was that he had a lot of the big things was that he had a lot of the big things was that he had a lot of silver fillings in his teeth most of silver fillings in his teeth most of silver fillings in his teeth most of them were replaced so this is like a them were replaced so this is like a them were replaced so this is like a side note is when my patient says to me side note is when my patient says to me side note is when my patient says to me yeah I had silver but they were all yeah I had silver but they were all yeah I had silver but they were all replaced and they always say it like replaced and they always say it like replaced and they always say it like really proud because you know they really proud because you know they really proud because you know they obviously did a good thing for obviously did a good thing for obviously did a good thing for themselves by getting all that you know themselves by getting all that you know themselves by getting all that you know toxic junk out of their teeth my toxic junk out of their teeth my toxic junk out of their teeth my follow-up question is who did it was it follow-up question is who did it was it follow-up question is who did it was it a traditional dentist or was it what we a traditional dentist or was it what we a traditional dentist or was it what we call a biological dentist and they're call a biological dentist and they're call a biological dentist and they're like well I'm going like well I'm going like well I'm going soon traditional because I've never soon traditional because I've never soon traditional because I've never heard of a biological dentist so the heard of a biological dentist so the heard of a biological dentist so the thing you don't understand is that when thing you don't understand is that when thing you don't understand is that when you remove these fillings out of your you remove these fillings out of your you remove these fillings out of your teeth teeth teeth they are extremely extremely toxic so they are extremely extremely toxic so they are extremely extremely toxic so when you go to a biological dentist they when you go to a biological dentist they when you go to a biological dentist they are thoroughly trained on how to take are thoroughly trained on how to take are thoroughly trained on how to take these out properly and if you were to these out properly and if you were to these out properly and if you were to ever see a picture of the patient as ever see a picture of the patient as ever see a picture of the patient as well as the dentist doing a proper well as the dentist doing a proper well as the dentist doing a proper removal of mercury fillings they are removal of mercury fillings they are removal of mercury fillings they are practically wearing a hazmat suit as practically wearing a hazmat suit as practically wearing a hazmat suit as well as the patient so when you go in to well as the patient so when you go in to well as the patient so when you go in to your traditional dentist and they're your traditional dentist and they're your traditional dentist and they're just popping those suckers out of your just popping those suckers out of your just popping those suckers out of your teeth and not protecting you or teeth and not protecting you or teeth and not protecting you or themselves that mercury is being themselves that mercury is being themselves that mercury is being released as a vapor and going directly released as a vapor and going directly released as a vapor and going directly into your nerves and your soft tissue so into your nerves and your soft tissue so into your nerves and your soft tissue so regardless if the fillings are out of regardless if the fillings are out of regardless if the fillings are out of your mouth you still are going to have your mouth you still are going to have your mouth you still are going to have mercury in your lymphatic system and in mercury in your lymphatic system and in mercury in your lymphatic system and in your tissues because that's just the way your tissues because that's just the way your tissues because that's just the way that it works so as we were talking and that it works so as we were talking and that it works so as we were talking and he was talking about getting back to all he was talking about getting back to all he was talking about getting back to all of his favorite activities we talked a of his favorite activities we talked a of his favorite activities we talked a lot about mountain biking and he was a lot about mountain biking and he was a lot about mountain biking and he was a big big mountain biker so for those of big big mountain biker so for those of big big mountain biker so for those of you you know kind of wondering why this you you know kind of wondering why this you you know kind of wondering why this is even relevant is that mountain biking is even relevant is that mountain biking is even relevant is that mountain biking what tics what tics what tics I started thinking okay is long part of I started thinking okay is long part of I started thinking okay is long part of this puzzle because this patient is you this puzzle because this patient is you this puzzle because this patient is you know constantly outside so here's the know constantly outside so here's the know constantly outside so here's the kicker one of the things that one of my kicker one of the things that one of my kicker one of the things that one of my mentors said is that there is a deep mentors said is that there is a deep mentors said is that there is a deep correlation to having prostate cancer correlation to having prostate cancer correlation to having prostate cancer cancer and Lyme's disease and when he cancer and Lyme's disease and when he cancer and Lyme's disease and when he told me why I was kind of like mouth told me why I was kind of like mouth told me why I was kind of like mouth dropped like no possible way like that's dropped like no possible way like that's dropped like no possible way like that's crazy so when I went back into clinical crazy so when I went back into clinical crazy so when I went back into clinical practice and I knew this I was like holy practice and I knew this I was like holy practice and I knew this I was like holy crap he's right okay so line bacteria crap he's right okay so line bacteria crap he's right okay so line bacteria Lyme disease bacteria is a bacteria that Lyme disease bacteria is a bacteria that Lyme disease bacteria is a bacteria that first of all we all think has just first of all we all think has just first of all we all think has just specifically only comes from ticks which specifically only comes from ticks which specifically only comes from ticks which is actually not true is actually not true is actually not true so Lyme can come from so Lyme can come from so Lyme can come from tics it can come from mosquitoes it can tics it can come from mosquitoes it can tics it can come from mosquitoes it can come from being passed down from mom come from being passed down from mom come from being passed down from mom it can also be sexually transmitted yes it can also be sexually transmitted yes it can also be sexually transmitted yes I know that's scary I know that's scary I know that's scary so how this all correlates to a prostate so how this all correlates to a prostate so how this all correlates to a prostate issue so when you're dealing with line issue so when you're dealing with line issue so when you're dealing with line bacteria live bacteria is a very bacteria live bacteria is a very bacteria live bacteria is a very involved organism it is a very smart involved organism it is a very smart involved organism it is a very smart organism and it is always trying to get organism and it is always trying to get organism and it is always trying to get to its next life cycle so what I mean by to its next life cycle so what I mean by to its next life cycle so what I mean by that is it's always trying to insect the that is it's always trying to insect the that is it's always trying to insect the next person so when a male gets exposed next person so when a male gets exposed next person so when a male gets exposed to Lyme disease very often the line to Lyme disease very often the line to Lyme disease very often the line bacteria will hang out in the prostate bacteria will hang out in the prostate bacteria will hang out in the prostate and the reason being is because when and the reason being is because when and the reason being is because when there is arousal for intercourse the there is arousal for intercourse the there is arousal for intercourse the lime will move out of the prostate and lime will move out of the prostate and lime will move out of the prostate and start to move along the ejaculatory duct start to move along the ejaculatory duct start to move along the ejaculatory duct and it starts to move along the and it starts to move along the and it starts to move along the ejaculatory ducts so that it has the ejaculatory ducts so that it has the ejaculatory ducts so that it has the opportunity to then infect the next host opportunity to then infect the next host opportunity to then infect the next host aka the next female so again those of aka the next female so again those of aka the next female so again those of you listening are uploaded holy crap you listening are uploaded holy crap you listening are uploaded holy crap that can't even be correct it is because that can't even be correct it is because that can't even be correct it is because every male that I've worked with that every male that I've worked with that every male that I've worked with that has either come to me with some type of has either come to me with some type of has either come to me with some type of prostate issue or has come to me with a prostate issue or has come to me with a prostate issue or has come to me with a history of prostate cancer I have always history of prostate cancer I have always history of prostate cancer I have always found them to be positive for Lyme so found them to be positive for Lyme so found them to be positive for Lyme so this specific patient was dealing with this specific patient was dealing with this specific patient was dealing with Lyme disease that was playing a role in Lyme disease that was playing a role in Lyme disease that was playing a role in his prostate it was also the culprit for his prostate it was also the culprit for his prostate it was also the culprit for why he was having so many swollen glands why he was having so many swollen glands why he was having so many swollen glands so the crazy thing about this is that so the crazy thing about this is that so the crazy thing about this is that the line was affecting him and stressing the line was affecting him and stressing the line was affecting him and stressing the neurological system because if you the neurological system because if you the neurological system because if you remember when you have an infection it remember when you have an infection it remember when you have an infection it amps up the immune system of the brain amps up the immune system of the brain amps up the immune system of the brain so he had this over activation of the so he had this over activation of the so he had this over activation of the immune system then on top of that he had immune system then on top of that he had immune system then on top of that he had the mercury toxicity from all those the mercury toxicity from all those the mercury toxicity from all those fillings in the teeth that weren't fillings in the teeth that weren't fillings in the teeth that weren't removed safely so from there he started removed safely so from there he started removed safely so from there he started to go on the testosterone and the to go on the testosterone and the to go on the testosterone and the testosterone was testosterone was testosterone was making him extremely fatigued it was making him extremely fatigued it was making him extremely fatigued it was giving him headaches giving him headaches giving him headaches it was also making his memory really bad it was also making his memory really bad it was also making his memory really bad so when it comes to the bigger picture so when it comes to the bigger picture so when it comes to the bigger picture I'm telling you this story because I I'm telling you this story because I I'm telling you this story because I want you to understand this is want you to understand this is want you to understand this is multifaceted this was not just like oh multifaceted this was not just like oh multifaceted this was not just like oh testosterone was low and there are so testosterone was low and there are so testosterone was low and there are so many pieces of the puzzle that were not many pieces of the puzzle that were not many pieces of the puzzle that were not being connected and when we were able to being connected and when we were able to being connected and when we were able to work with him to help him get the stuff work with him to help him get the stuff work with him to help him get the stuff out of his body that shouldn't have been out of his body that shouldn't have been out of his body that shouldn't have been there he was able to get his there he was able to get his there he was able to get his testosterone levels back out to normal testosterone levels back out to normal testosterone levels back out to normal so we never actually addressed the so we never actually addressed the so we never actually addressed the testosterone we just got the immune testosterone we just got the immune testosterone we just got the immune system to be more balanced because we system to be more balanced because we system to be more balanced because we eliminated the toxicity and we also eliminated the toxicity and we also eliminated the toxicity and we also eliminated the immune system stress and eliminated the immune system stress and eliminated the immune system stress and that was really what his body needed to that was really what his body needed to that was really what his body needed to bounce back so if you haven't learned bounce back so if you haven't learned bounce back so if you haven't learned this so far you don't know you don't this so far you don't know you don't this so far you don't know you don't know it is impossible for you to know it is impossible for you to know it is impossible for you to understand the big picture and to know understand the big picture and to know understand the big picture and to know the root of why your testosterone is low the root of why your testosterone is low the root of why your testosterone is low if you have not had the right testing so if you have not had the right testing so if you have not had the right testing so when it comes to doing the right testing when it comes to doing the right testing when it comes to doing the right testing it's really just a matter of you know it's really just a matter of you know it's really just a matter of you know uncovering what is the root cause so uncovering what is the root cause so uncovering what is the root cause so that you can deal with it and dealing that you can deal with it and dealing that you can deal with it and dealing with it is not always this super with it is not always this super with it is not always this super elaborate complex process and I think elaborate complex process and I think elaborate complex process and I think that's a really important thing to take that's a really important thing to take that's a really important thing to take away those of you listening might be away those of you listening might be away those of you listening might be thinking like oh crap that guy sounded thinking like oh crap that guy sounded thinking like oh crap that guy sounded really complex like he probably was really complex like he probably was really complex like he probably was under care for a year he wasn't he was under care for a year he wasn't he was under care for a year he wasn't he was under care for three months and he got under care for three months and he got under care for three months and he got better and he moved on with his life so better and he moved on with his life so better and he moved on with his life so once you know the route and you once you know the route and you once you know the route and you understand how to work with it it understand how to work with it it understand how to work with it it doesn't have to be an overly complex doesn't have to be an overly complex doesn't have to be an overly complex process so I think the bigger picture process so I think the bigger picture process so I think the bigger picture here is we need to stop accepting these here is we need to stop accepting these here is we need

that the root is causing so when it comes to the root is causing so when it comes to the root is causing so when it comes to the the big picture of this concept of the the big picture of this concept of the the big picture of this concept of conventional functional integrative some conventional functional integrative some conventional functional integrative some of you may be listening and be like I of you may be listening and be like I of you may be listening and be like I don't even know the difference between don't even know the difference between don't even know the difference between some integrative isn't that the same and some integrative isn't that the same and some integrative isn't that the same and it's not and I say this because you know it's not and I say this because you know it's not and I say this because you know I've never practiced conventionally I've never practiced conventionally I've never practiced conventionally because honestly it didn't make sense to because honestly it didn't make sense to because honestly it didn't make sense to me being you know relying on medications me being you know relying on medications me being you know relying on medications I never felt that the body was devoid of I never felt that the body was devoid of I never felt that the body was devoid of medications it just didn't make sense to medications it just didn't make sense to medications it just didn't make sense to me that medications haven't been along me that medications haven't been along me that medications haven't been along that been around that long and we that been around that long and we that been around that long and we obviously lived healthier lives before obviously lived healthier lives before obviously lived healthier lives before them so to think that we are you know them so to think that we are you know them so to think that we are you know genetically designed to get sick and genetically designed to get sick and genetically designed to get sick and dysfunction that the only thing can fix dysfunction that the only thing can fix dysfunction that the only thing can fix that is medication that just never made that is medication that just never made that is medication that just never made sense to me and then I got into this sense to me and then I got into this sense to me and then I got into this world of functional medicine which was world of functional medicine which was world of functional medicine which was you you you using more comprehensive testing it was using more comprehensive testing it was using more comprehensive testing it was looking at the person it was considering looking at the person it was considering looking at the person it was considering their stress level it was considering their stress level it was considering their stress level it was considering their diet it was considering you know their diet it was considering you know their diet it was considering you know natural alternatives that definitely natural alternatives that definitely natural alternatives that definitely made more sense to me but with made more sense to me but with made more sense to me but with functional medicine I had a lot of great functional medicine I had a lot of great functional medicine I had a lot of great diagnostic tools but when it came to diagnostic tools but when it came to diagnostic tools but when it came to tools to help my patients get better I tools to help my patients get better I tools to help my patients get better I found that those tools were limited and found that those tools were

nutrition is very important supplements nutrition is very important supplements are very important herbs are important are very important herbs are important are very important herbs are important but I don't think that they are the only but I don't think that they are the only but I don't think that they are the only pieces of the puzzle and I realized this pieces of the puzzle and I realized this pieces of the puzzle and I realized this after practicing for a few years because after practicing for a few years because after practicing for a few years because I had patients starting to come to me I had patients starting to come to me I had patients starting to come to me saying I already been there done that saying I already been there done that saying I already been there done that I've already been on supplements I've I've already been on supplements I've I've already been on supplements I've already changed my diet I eat nothing already changed my diet I eat nothing already changed

I just gonna give them a I gonna do was I just gonna give them a more limited diet was I gonna give them more limited diet was I gonna give them more limited diet was I gonna give them better versions of supplements I knew better versions of supplements I knew better versions of supplements I knew that I needed to learn more and I needed that I needed to learn more and I needed that I needed to learn more and I needed to understand more about the human body to understand more about the human body to understand more about the human body and that's what the kind of took me down and that's what the kind of took me down and that's what the kind of took me down this road of understanding more this road of understanding more this road of understanding more integrative approaches and dr. clean integrative approaches and dr. clean integrative approaches and dr. clean heart being one of my mentors was a big heart being one of my mentors was a big heart being one of my mentors was a big part

to dig into about my job is being able to dig into about my job is being able to dig into that and leverage some of the that and leverage some of the that and leverage some of the technologies that we have so we're able technologies that we have so we're able technologies that we have so we're able to really look at the big picture and to really look at the big picture and to really look at the big

because that's in my opinion what medicine should be is it should be about medicine should be is it should be about medicine should be is it should be about sustainability sustainability sustainability it's not about do my protocol do my diet it's not about do my protocol do my diet it's not about do my protocol do my diet do my recommendations and you'll feel do my recommendations
