[12:05] The Role of Testosterone in Health and Wellness Testosterone is a crucial hormone with profound effects on various bodily systems. Testosterone drives overall health and wellness, impacting physiological and mental well-being.  Optimizing testosterone levels is emphasized as essential for promoting longevity and overall vitality, including mental health benefits such as alleviating depression and anxiety. [16:50] A Holistic Approach to Health and Wellness Dr. Rob advocates a holistic approach to health and wellness, incorporating various lifestyle factors. This includes meaningful exercise, stress reduction techniques such as prayer, meditation, or yoga, regular diagnostics to track health trends, and cleaning up nutrition by focusing on a healthy eating plan.  Additionally, the importance of minimizing alcohol consumption is underscored, given its detrimental effects on overall health and hormonal balance. [21:40] Medications and Their Impact on Hormone Health Dr. Rob highlights the detrimental effects of various medications and environmental toxins on hormone function.  He discusses how medications such as ADHD medications, anxiolytics, antidepressants, and statins can negatively impact hormone production and function.  [30:50] Early Challenges in Testosterone Therapy Dr. Rob reflects on the early stages of his career when he encountered challenges in prescribing testosterone due to limited data and prevailing myths.  Despite facing skepticism and concerns from mentors about potential risks associated with testosterone therapy, Dr. Rob persisted in his efforts to explore alternative dosing regimens based on clinical observations and insights from bodybuilders.  [45:50] An Individualized Approach to Testosterone Therapy One key takeaway from Dr. Rob's perspective on testosterone therapy is the individualized approach to treatment.  He emphasizes that the decision to discontinue testosterone therapy depends on various factors, including age, underlying health conditions, and the specific needs of the patient.

Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, and most of the world. In the U.S, around 695,000 people die from heart disease every year. Every 33 seconds, someone dies from heart disease in the U.S. Eggs are high in cholesterol and saturated fat, but there seems to be a shocking truth about the eggs and heart disease connection that nobody is talking about… Draw the cell… You’re made up of 30-70 trillion cells. Every cell has a lipid bilayer around it called the cell membrane. Think of the cell membrane as the bodyguard of your cells. The membrane is your intelligence. The membrane allows good things in and bad things out. We just established how important the cell membrane is. The next question is, what is the cell membrane made of? Protein, saturated fat and cholesterol! If saturated fat and cholesterol was so bad, why is your body made of it? The truth is, more people die from heart disease with normal to low cholesterol, than with high cholesterol. 🥑 Get your Keto Recipe of the Week here:  http://www.ketokamprecipes.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  ⭐ Bioptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough.

Today, I am blessed to have Roudy Nassif here with me. Roudy is fully dedicated to researching and developing innovations to help humanity achieve greater well-being on the planet. Roudy happily fills his role in VivaRays as the research and development manager, capturing the great intelligence of nature and manifesting it in our lives. In this episode, Roudy dives into the impact of light on human biology, stressing its role in regulating our endocrine system, circadian rhythm, and nervous system. He warns against the effects of artificial light exposure on hormonal balance and health. Embracing natural morning light is encouraged for its ability to trigger hormone production and influence circadian rhythms. Roudy highlights the benefits of grounding to mitigate inflammation. Tune in for insights into the importance of creating an environment to support overall well-being, including the quality of light entering our eyes and its effects on metabolic processes. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

It programs our endocrine system, circadian rhythm, and nervous system. Excessive exposure to artificial light, particularly at night, has detrimental effects on hormonal balance and overall health. Chronic disruption of our natural circadian due to inadequate exposure to sunlight and excessive exposure to artificial light can lead to health issues, including disrupted sleep, increased inflammation, and metabolic imbalances. [11:30] Embracing Morning Light Step outside and experience natural morning light upon waking instead of turning to artificial sources. Morning light signals the start of the day to our internal clock. Natural light triggers the production of hormones that contribute to feelings of energy. Morning light can influence our circadian rhythms and set a beneficial tone for the day ahead.  [22:30] Grounding for Wellness There are benefits of stepping outside and removing one's shoes to connect with the Earth's magnetic field.  This connection allows the body to discharge excess electrical charge accumulated from exposure to artificial sources of electricity. Grounding yourself on the Earth can mitigate inflammation. It’s important to experience morning sunlight and pay attention to the specific frequencies of light, such as UVA, that contribute to hormonal balance. [34:50] The Healing Power of Sunlight We discuss studies demonstrating the health benefits of sunlight exposure, particularly its effects on nitric oxide production, heart efficiency, weight loss, and hormone levels.  Sunlight stimulates the thyroid gland, increases metabolism and fat burning, and enhances sex hormone production. It facilitates the production of structured water inside and around cells, which promotes blood flow and nutrient delivery. [40:40] Health Risks Associated with Skin Tone Roudy highlights the differences in susceptibility to chronic diseases, weight gain, and metabolic problems among individuals with varying skin tones.  People with darker skin, particularly those of African origins accustomed to high UV environments, may face increased health risks when moving to regions with lower UV exposure, such as northern latitudes.  [58:40] Lighting the Path to Well-Being Create an optimal environment to support well-being. Pay attention to the quality of light entering our eyes, as light influences various aspects of our biology, from sleep quality to mood and productivity. Light exposure affects metabolic processes, including glucose regulation and nutrient absorption.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Nayan Patel here with me. Dr. Nayan Patel is a sought-after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader. He has been working with physicians since 1999 to custom-develop medication for their clients and design a patient-specific drug and nutrition regimen. He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEOs, and physicians. In this episode, Dr. Patel discusses the healing properties of glutathione. He explores how technological advancements have revolutionized glutathione delivery, addressing concerns like cellulite and oxidative stress. Dr. Patel emphasizes a holistic approach to health, highlighting the importance of activating organs like the gallbladder and liver. He also explains the innovative topical application method for glutathione, which bypasses traditional limitations. Lastly, Dr. Patel emphasizes the continuous use of glutathione to combat oxidative stress, especially in managing conditions like diabetes. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

This accessibility is highlighted through technological advancements, making it possible to achieve desired results effectively. While the focus may be on addressing specific concerns like stubborn cellulite, Dr. Patel underscores the importance of viewing health holistically. By activating organs like the gallbladder and liver to eliminate excess fat, the process targets superficial issues and promotes overall wellness. [06:50] Revolutionizing Glutathione Delivery Traditional methods of administering glutathione, such as injections, have limitations. These methods often result in the kidneys' rapid filtration of glutathione, leading to minimal absorption. Conventional glutathione supplementation does not adequately raise glutathione levels within the body's cells. Dr. Patel introduces an advancement in glutathione delivery, offering a solution to the issue of absorption. Through topical application, glutathione can bypass the challenges encountered by other delivery methods and directly enter the body's cells, which can remain active for extended periods. [22:00] Topical Application of Glutaryl Dr. Patel emphasizes the importance of regular use of Glutaryl, highlighting the continuous need for glutathione in the body. Glutaryl is designed for topical application on non-hairy areas of the body. Dr. Patel shares his experience encountering sulfur odor and stickiness with the formula. He recommends applying it to areas without hair. Despite the concerns about odor and stickiness, Dr. Patel affirms that the formula has remained unchanged since 2007, reflecting its efficacy in delivering glutathione. [26:20] Guardian of Skin: Harnessing Glutathione's Power The skin is the body's largest organ, constantly exposed to environmental pollutants. The accumulation of such substances can lead to oxidative stress, necessitating antioxidant support for skin health.  Glutathione, with its potent antioxidant properties, can effectively combat oxidative stress when applied topically, helping to mitigate various skin issues caused by environmental factors. [43:40] Reframing Diabetes: Understanding Oxidative Stress Dr. Patel frames diabetes as an oxidative stress disorder. When the body's oxidative stress levels become elevated, it will lead to insulin resistance and other complications associated with diabetes. By addressing oxidative stress, you can mitigate the progression of diabetes-related issues.

The most important thing to understand about fat loss is that your metabolism runs the show. The Greek definition for metabolism is to “transform”. A healthy metabolism takes different substrates (proteins, fats, carbs, body fat, etc) and transforms it into energy. When this happens, your body creates heat (energy) which raises your basal metabolic rate. The goal is not a fast metabolism, but an efficient one. I’m going to share with you the 5 best ways to fix your metabolism so you can speed up fat loss naturally… and the best part?

Today, I am blessed to have Brett Ender here with me. He is the co-founder and co-host of The Meat Mafia Podcast with Harrison Gray, exploring food and nutrition with guests. Ender is also the co-founder of Noble, a beef protein isolate. In this episode, Brett discusses corporate dominance in the food industry, where profit often outweighs nutrition. He also emphasizes the financial benefits of healthier dietary choices and the importance of prioritizing protein intake. Despite his focus on animal products, he advocates for dietary flexibility. Lastly, he challenges misconceptions about agriculture's environmental impact, highlighting its relatively minor role compared to other industries. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

These companies prioritize profit at the expense of producing healthy, nutritious foods. Their focus on efficiency may lead to the proliferation of ultra-processed foods. Brett discusses the discrepancy between government regulations on food options in public schools, where nutritious choices like whole milk are restricted while highly processed options are available.  [12:30] Brett's Path to Healing Through Nutrient-Rich Diet  Brett's journey with ulcerative colitis led him to reevaluate his diet. He made a conscious decision to prioritize nutrient-dense foods, particularly animal protein, as a means of healing. Despite financial constraints, Brett opted for investing in high-quality, nourishing foods, rather than relying on medications. He emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of preventive healthcare through dietary changes, compared to the financial burden of hospital bills.  [19:40] The Financial Benefits of Healthier Dietary Choices Brett highlights the importance of quantifying the cost savings and benefits associated with making healthier dietary choices.  Compare the cost of grass-fed meat at the grocery store versus fast food options like Taco Bell, as well as the financial savings from fasting. [32:50] Prioritizing Protein Intake Brett emphasizes the importance of simplicity for dietary choices. He suggests aiming for a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight from animal products.  By sticking to protein sources that you enjoy, you can establish a solid foundation for their nutritional intake without getting overwhelmed by sourcing or other details initially. [39:35] Dietary Flexibility: Finding Balance Beyond 'The Meat Mafia' Despite having a podcast called "The Meat Mafia" and sharing his healing journey with animal products, Brett acknowledges the importance of dietary flexibility.  He mentions that while the majority of his calories come from animal products, he incorporates fruits, vegetables, and other foods prepared by his girlfriend. This highlights the idea that dietary approaches should be adaptable to individual preferences, tolerances, and circumstances. [47:50] Rethinking Agriculture's Impact Brett highlights the misconception that agriculture, particularly conventional methods involving confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), contributes significantly to environmental issues.  He points out that while there are concerns with agriculture, its impact pales in comparison to industries like energy and transportation. There is a need for a broader understanding of the various factors influencing environmental sustainability.

Today, I am grateful to have the presence of Dr. Philip Ovadia by my side yet again. He is the owner of Ovadia Heart Health, offering a virtual clinic to people all over the world. The focus is preventing and treating heart disease by modifying diet and lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Ovadia discusses the impact of foods on insulin resistance, critiques conventional dietary recommendations, and highlights the importance of managing insulin levels. He emphasizes the significance of directly assessing arterial health and the role of factors beyond diet in heart disease risk. He also examines the complexities of statin use, acknowledging their potential benefits but cautioning against overestimation and considering long-term implications. Overall, Dr. Ovadia advocates for a holistic approach to heart health. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

He suggests these foods contribute to metabolic issues and are a primary health-promoting concern. Dr. Ovadia critiques the recommendations of organizations like the American Heart Association, suggesting that their focus on certain foods, such as those labeled "heart-healthy," which often include vegetable oils, may not promote heart health.  [10:00] Insulin's Dietary Dance Dr. Ovadia highlights the varying insulin responses to different macronutrients.  Carbohydrates elicit the highest insulin response, followed by protein, which induces a smaller response.  Dietary fat triggers minimal insulin response, contrary to the misconception that fats contribute to heart disease.  Understanding these responses underscores the importance of managing insulin levels and minimizing carbohydrate intake for heart health. [27:35] Reevaluating Heart Disease Risk The prevalence of insulin resistance in modern populations has shifted the significance of LDL levels, with insulin resistance now playing a role in interpreting cholesterol-related heart disease risk. Dr. Ovadia underscores the importance of testing fasting insulin levels to assess heart disease risk. Properly addressing insulin resistance is critical to mitigating heart disease risk and preventing the need for surgery. [40:20] Arterial Health Checkup for Heart Disease Risk Dr. Ovadia emphasizes the importance of directly assessing the health of arteries when evaluating heart disease risk.  He suggests examining the blood vessels' condition provides valuable insights into heart health rather than relying solely on traditional risk factors or biomarkers, such as cholesterol levels. [47:00] Beyond Diet: A Holistic Approach to Heart Health Dr. Ovadia stresses the importance of recognizing that diet is not the sole determinant of heart health. Other factors such as stress, sleep quality, environmental toxins, chronic infections, and autoimmune disorders can impact cardiovascular health.  These influences are crucial if dietary improvements do not change coronary calcium scores. [50:30] Statins in Perspective Dr. Ovadia acknowledges situations where statin use may be warranted, such as individuals with insulin resistance and poor-quality cholesterol profiles who are unlikely to address their insulin resistance through other means.  He emphasizes that the benefits of statins may be overestimated.

Key Findings: This placebo-controlled trial investigated the effects of choline deficiency on liver health in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. The study found that choline deficiency led to reversible hepatic abnormalities, including liver fat accumulation and liver dysfunction. These findings underscore the importance of adequate choline intake for maintaining liver health, especially in clinical settings where patients may be at risk of choline deficiency due to medical interventions. Study Title: "Choline supplementation protects against liver damage by normalizing cholesterol metabolism in Pemt/Ldlr knockout mice fed a high-fat diet." Key Findings: This study utilized a mouse model to investigate the protective effects of choline supplementation against liver damage induced by a high-fat diet. The researchers found that choline supplementation normalized cholesterol metabolism and reduced liver fat accumulation, inflammation, and oxidative stress. These results suggest that choline supplementation can mitigate the adverse effects of a high-fat diet on liver health. Study Title: "Choline alleviates parenteral nutrition-associated steatohepatitis by modulating gut microbiota and promoting bile acid-independent reversal of gut-liver axis dysfunction." Published in: Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology, 2020. Key Findings: This study investigated the mechanisms by which choline supplementation alleviates steatohepatitis (inflammation and fatty liver) associated with parenteral nutrition. The researchers found that choline supplementation modulated gut microbiota composition, reduced intestinal permeability, and improved gut-liver axis dysfunction. These effects were observed to be partly independent of bile acid metabolism, highlighting the multifaceted ways in which choline can benefit liver health.
