FEELING OFF? IT MIGHT BE YOUR HORMONES!

WEBVTT

00:00:19.672 --> 00:00:21.493
okay, so what are we talking about today?

00:00:21.553 --> 00:00:22.094
Hormones.

00:00:22.173 --> 00:00:22.574
No.

00:00:23.035 --> 00:00:23.295
Ruz.

00:00:23.355 --> 00:00:24.856
Hormones Ruz.

00:00:24.856 --> 00:00:26.716
What happened to you today?

00:00:26.716 --> 00:00:28.097
You did not look good.

00:00:29.341 --> 00:00:30.123
I was fine.

00:00:30.123 --> 00:00:34.673
I felt like I got out of a workout because I took a new supplement.

00:00:34.673 --> 00:00:37.368
Well, part of it's new to me.

00:00:37.368 --> 00:00:45.533
So from Level Up the company Level Up I order a bunch of their supplements.

00:00:45.533 --> 00:00:53.588
They have a bunch of oral peptides that you can take and great mixtures of different things, whether it's GI repair, neuro repair.

00:00:53.588 --> 00:00:55.725
So I took this one.

00:00:55.725 --> 00:00:57.045
It was tesafenicin.

00:00:57.045 --> 00:01:02.932
Luckily I was like all right, although the tesafenicin seems like a lower dose.

00:01:02.932 --> 00:01:05.106
Maybe the other stuff in there are going to crush me.

00:01:05.106 --> 00:01:05.730
What is tesafenicin?

00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:07.575
seems like a lower dose, maybe the other stuff in there are going to crush me.

00:01:07.575 --> 00:01:07.998
What is testofenicin?

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:22.060
So testofenicin is like triple serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine reuptake inhibitor, so it was originally formed.

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.197
So it's kind of like an agonist for all three of those.

00:01:25.477 --> 00:01:35.584
Yeah, so it was originally formed as a dementia drug, but they found out that it was like people were losing weight, so they had to stop the study.

00:01:35.584 --> 00:01:41.022
So then it got put on the back burner because they weren't going to use it for dementia.

00:01:41.022 --> 00:01:47.382
Those patients forgot how much weight they lost so the gym rats used it for for weight loss.

00:01:47.382 --> 00:01:54.034
So um an experiment in the world I know give me more dude

00:01:54.295 --> 00:01:58.411
with a lot of this with a lot of this stuff.

00:01:58.411 --> 00:02:00.316
That's, that's the way it comes out.

00:02:00.316 --> 00:02:05.356
It's the underground gym people just trying it out and it actually works.

00:02:05.397 --> 00:02:08.546
So yeah, it's like let's lower your blood pressures.

00:02:08.546 --> 00:02:15.562
Doc, I gotta tell you my blood pressure is perfectly under control, but I've had a hard-on for like four months.

00:02:15.562 --> 00:02:26.295
It's, it's true yeah it's like they find a commercial sale for a form of medication and they just push it.

00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:40.068
So testofenicine, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine reuptake Inhibitor, so it just increases those levels and you just think differently about food.

00:02:40.068 --> 00:02:42.004
You don't eat as much.

00:02:42.125 --> 00:02:48.461
It curbs your appetite you don't eat as much, it curbs your appetite.

00:02:48.461 --> 00:02:54.257
Those are huge like neuroreceptors or receptors in your mind for for the way you like not just act, but like respond to things so so you're.

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:04.651
It's good medication to lose weight, but it also keeps you happy, so you're pretty happy in the morning, so that, mixed with oxytocin, I think like like you could have a fun day every day.

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:12.152
Do you think it's a mixture of all three things, because a lot of people are on serotonin reuptake inhibitors like Cymbalta?

00:03:12.473 --> 00:03:12.653
Yeah.

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.866
But they're still technically depressed.

00:03:15.866 --> 00:03:18.532
But it's kind of masking some of the symptoms.

00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:29.186
I wonder what would happen if I took it with methylene blue, because with methylene blue it also increases your serotonin levels too, so you're probably going to get a higher push.

00:03:29.225 --> 00:03:32.734
So yeah, yeah, and the I mean dopamines, obviously.

00:03:32.753 --> 00:03:40.722
So what happened in clinic today so it wasn't in clinic, it was in surgery um so the testofenicine is a pretty low dose.

00:03:40.782 --> 00:03:45.132
I've taken like probably 10 times the dosage amount, so I was like all right.

00:03:45.132 --> 00:03:56.305
The other stuff I don't really know too much which one of them's l-biba, it's l-b-a-i-b-a, it's like l oh, like, oh.

00:03:56.384 --> 00:03:57.866
Is that the alibaba stock?

00:03:57.926 --> 00:04:10.467
no, it's alibaba stock ticker it's like l-beta amino isobutyric acid, and then the other thing I remember the last time I heard about that, yeah the other things that gbb.

00:04:10.467 --> 00:04:21.100
Gbb is just a bioavailable form of carnitine that you can take so yeah, for muscle, which is good for carnitine which carnitine is good for muscle building.

00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:23.987
Um, but is carnitine huh?

00:04:24.226 --> 00:04:25.209
what is carcinogen acid?

00:04:25.228 --> 00:04:51.726
yeah, yeah, yeah so so the lobiba which um kind of induces like brown adipose.

00:04:51.726 --> 00:05:00.384
Fat build up and it's build up or breakdown build up because you break down the white adipose tissue.

00:05:00.404 --> 00:05:05.232
More hate sound dumb, brown or yellow.

00:05:05.232 --> 00:05:10.547
It's brown or yellow, fat right yeah, brown is when you're young.

00:05:11.007 --> 00:05:12.211
Yeah, that's baby fat.

00:05:12.211 --> 00:05:16.149
Yeah, that's like that gives you energy and muscle.

00:05:16.149 --> 00:05:29.033
Yeah, so you're able to build up brown like baby fat, yeah, and so what it does is it's actually something that your body releases.

00:05:29.033 --> 00:05:34.350
When you work out After a tough workout, it's what your body releases.

00:05:34.350 --> 00:05:41.605
So, like you know, you do your HIIT workouts and whatever, so you're releasing all this.

00:05:41.605 --> 00:05:43.562
So this is that.

00:05:43.562 --> 00:05:46.288
I don't know what they call it.

00:05:46.668 --> 00:05:48.512
Alibaba stock yeah.

00:05:48.593 --> 00:05:54.129
Yeah, so, yeah, so, it's almost like an exercise in a pill.

00:05:54.129 --> 00:05:58.771
So luckily, I was like all right, let me just take one instead of two.

00:05:59.466 --> 00:06:00.379
And I probably won't take.

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:02.408
You should have some refrain yeah.

00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:09.492
I don't know like and I don't know if the caffeine in addition to this like kind of got me, it probably didn't help yeah.

00:06:09.872 --> 00:06:10.634
But, how did you feel?

00:06:12.588 --> 00:06:14.560
So I was sweating bullets.

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:20.829
I never like my hat never like gets wet and like it was like frigging, like all wet.

00:06:20.829 --> 00:06:32.651
My scrubs were like drenched in sweat and like like all wet my my scrubs were like drenched in sweat and like I was like like in heat and then like I walked outside and I felt like super cold.

00:06:32.672 --> 00:06:46.252
So yeah, and and like even I have a mask on and like my like a one-day flu, it's just like yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, and he had a cough in there and the staff was like sitting there, they're like, they're like, hey, it's you.

00:06:46.312 --> 00:06:47.194
I felt great.

00:06:47.194 --> 00:06:48.016
I felt great.

00:06:48.016 --> 00:06:53.898
It was just like happening Because, like your body going through all, that crap is like oh my God, what's happening?

00:06:53.958 --> 00:06:54.560
I don't feel normal.

00:06:54.899 --> 00:07:07.101
No, I was on point because it also, like you know, if you're fasting and stuff, it increases like your free fatty acids that help your brain function better, like when you're in ketosis.

00:07:07.101 --> 00:07:08.927
It also kicks that up.

00:07:08.927 --> 00:07:11.836
So it's just overall function.

00:07:11.836 --> 00:07:13.100
You're like super functioning.

00:07:13.781 --> 00:07:16.245
So were you in ketosis?

00:07:17.007 --> 00:07:21.161
I was already in ketosis because I hadn't eaten from the night before I.

00:07:21.161 --> 00:07:41.846
I drink my cup of coffee I usually drink my coffee two or three hours after um I wake up, because I want my like cortisol release and hormone releases to be normal and because if you take that caffeine like right away, as soon as you wake up, that shuts down your system.

00:07:41.846 --> 00:07:44.990
So what I do is I just span that out.

00:07:45.209 --> 00:07:55.963
So, my body just produces its own caffeine, and most of the caffeine I drink it's more.

00:07:55.963 --> 00:07:56.425
I think it's for taste.

00:07:56.425 --> 00:07:59.059
Now I don't even feel like it's for.

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:00.687
You build a tolerance.

00:08:00.687 --> 00:08:05.528
It's not like you even get any type of feeling off of it.

00:08:05.528 --> 00:08:19.670
Yeah, I still chug sugar-free energy drinks like an idiot, but I'm like, yeah, yeah, but it I don't I use it to more socialize, like if I have clinic I'll drink a cup of coffee.

00:08:19.771 --> 00:08:27.853
So like, um one thing, I'm more productive in clinic and like I just pay attention, attention, much more to the patients and everything.

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.509
I need it, but it's probably because of my anticholinergics that I'm on.

00:08:31.949 --> 00:08:36.285
Yeah, which you got to stop, what a statement the way you said.

00:08:36.326 --> 00:08:40.190
It too, I need it, but it's because of all the anticholinergics, the drugs.

00:08:41.782 --> 00:08:42.644
What was I saying.

00:08:43.587 --> 00:08:44.009
There you go.

00:08:49.441 --> 00:08:50.625
That's screwing up your hormones.

00:08:50.625 --> 00:08:51.347
So there you go.

00:08:51.347 --> 00:08:52.351
That's screwing up a lot of things.

00:08:52.351 --> 00:08:53.174
Shrinking your balls, dude.

00:08:53.174 --> 00:08:55.243
Gotta do something about that it was hilarious.

00:08:55.283 --> 00:08:56.912
He had like the sniffles and a cough.

00:08:57.375 --> 00:09:03.229
He had to go to the bathroom well, I didn't really have a cough, I accidentally like did something happen.

00:09:03.269 --> 00:09:12.788
Yeah, I was just so all the staff's like oh yeah, he's got one of those allergies and he's sick and he's in the OR.

00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:14.586
You don't really want to know what.

00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.005
And he comes back 30 minutes later.

00:09:17.005 --> 00:09:21.447
He just busts in through the wall like the cooler there he's like let's finish this case.

00:09:22.663 --> 00:09:32.647
No, you really don't want to know what I did, Because it makes your whole system go fast, and I went and took a shit.

00:09:35.461 --> 00:09:48.072
He also thought, like all of our patients with, like the GLP drugs we titrate up and this guy just decides to go high dose right away.

00:09:48.072 --> 00:09:49.053
Is that what you did?

00:09:49.053 --> 00:09:50.162
But the thing is.

00:09:50.162 --> 00:09:53.150
I was the guinea pig.

00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:57.350
I originally took it myself, before any patient, oh, of course.

00:09:57.350 --> 00:10:00.989
So I knew all the side effects and how to deal with it.

00:10:01.009 --> 00:10:01.691
That is true.

00:10:01.691 --> 00:10:03.344
To fix it, he went high dose.

00:10:03.384 --> 00:10:06.682
The first day he was like like ah, screw this, like titration.

00:10:06.682 --> 00:10:10.850
He like walked to the or is like I'm feeling kind of sick.

00:10:10.850 --> 00:10:12.354
Well, I finished the case.

00:10:12.354 --> 00:10:24.643
I finished the case, oh no before you finished the case, you were like I'm feeling kind of sick well, you're about to back and he goes and like just yaks his brains out and comes back and does the case just fine.

00:10:24.643 --> 00:10:26.749
He's like, yeah, I wasn't feeling too good.

00:10:26.769 --> 00:10:28.692
Dude, I was done, you were putting dressings on.

00:10:28.714 --> 00:10:29.100
He crushed it.

00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:30.067
You had to put dressings on.

00:10:30.067 --> 00:10:32.205
Yeah, bruce, was you had to put dressings on.

00:10:32.205 --> 00:10:36.346
Yeah, bruce was I mean he cruised through the surgery.

00:10:36.346 --> 00:10:37.990
Yeah, he looked great, I know.

00:10:38.091 --> 00:10:42.875
Oh, this case, I'm overdid the GLPs on his first day.

00:10:42.894 --> 00:10:46.496
But even with the GLPs I finished my side of the breast reduction.

00:10:46.517 --> 00:10:55.947
Oh you were perfectly fine for the surgical side, but it was just funny being like okay, never seen ruse like that before.

00:10:58.047 --> 00:11:07.410
Well, the best was like Pam had me do a bunch of stuff at home and like I bent over in front of the garage and started puking.

00:11:09.744 --> 00:11:11.068
Like I just didn't feel good.

00:11:12.321 --> 00:11:15.647
After it was that same night, the GLP night.

00:11:15.927 --> 00:11:17.410
Yes, glp night.

00:11:17.471 --> 00:11:19.335
I was like did I GLP night?

00:11:19.335 --> 00:11:26.950
And like I like just bent over and I was like I'm not sure I gotta.

00:11:26.950 --> 00:11:30.523
I was like all right, and I thought I was food.

00:11:30.523 --> 00:11:35.059
It was food poisoning because I had like a tuna fish sandwich that day yourself.

00:11:35.059 --> 00:11:38.773
Yeah, I know exactly, but I thought it was like the I was.

00:11:38.773 --> 00:11:42.846
I thought it was the tuna fish sandwich, but not for long.

00:11:42.846 --> 00:11:47.938
I it was hospital, it was hospital lounge tuna fish sandwich.

00:11:47.979 --> 00:11:49.582
Yeah you know what now?

00:11:49.602 --> 00:12:06.375
that you say that that's a questionable been the glp at all because I have gotten food poisoning from like ranch dressing or anything like that hospital food yeah yeah, so yeah, it was up in the air.

00:12:06.375 --> 00:12:08.557
But like how sick I was.

00:12:08.557 --> 00:12:13.332
I was like this is not the tuna fish sandwich and my mom's like what's wrong?

00:12:13.472 --> 00:12:21.659
I'm like oh, it's a tuna fish sandwich, it came easy easy, but I knew what it was, yeah, and then mom comes to me and she's like is he okay?

00:12:21.659 --> 00:12:22.702
Is he okay?

00:12:22.722 --> 00:12:26.485
that's why I lost 10 pounds within the first week of being on GLP.

00:12:26.485 --> 00:12:28.114
It was like on super.

00:12:28.114 --> 00:12:29.384
It's like shit.

00:12:29.384 --> 00:12:31.365
I'm going to lose a lot of weight this way.

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.467
Okay, guys.

00:12:32.467 --> 00:12:36.885
I'll be down under 100 pounds in a couple months, since I have no clue.

00:12:36.885 --> 00:12:39.605
What's the deal with hormones?

00:12:39.605 --> 00:12:42.852
What a horrible segue.

00:12:42.852 --> 00:12:44.345
That was terrible.

00:12:44.345 --> 00:12:45.041
Any lures Do you?

00:12:45.041 --> 00:12:45.481
What a horrible segue.

00:12:45.481 --> 00:12:47.404
Yeah, that was that was horrible.

00:12:47.465 --> 00:12:48.167
Do you want another?

00:12:48.167 --> 00:12:50.250
Take on that yeah, I'm kidding.

00:12:50.330 --> 00:12:54.144
No, what's something people always blame on hormones?

00:12:54.224 --> 00:12:55.206
but what matters?

00:12:55.206 --> 00:12:56.649
What hormones you're talking?

00:12:56.688 --> 00:12:56.990
about.

00:12:56.990 --> 00:12:57.831
What are hormones?

00:12:57.831 --> 00:12:59.380
Let's start at the very basic.

00:12:59.380 --> 00:13:01.947
What are hormones?

00:13:01.947 --> 00:13:05.533
Hormones main messenger system of your body.

00:13:05.533 --> 00:13:12.567
It connects your brain with your gut, with your kidneys, any organ you have Like that's your messenger system.

00:13:12.567 --> 00:13:34.009
Think of it as the postal service, where it's like your brain muscle, cardiac muscle, bones, compared to thyroid, telling you where your metabolism lies.

00:13:34.370 --> 00:14:01.826
It kind of controls how your body runs right, or, for Rodbeth's sake, estrogen that created his female reproductive parts yeah, yeah, exactly so, as we age, the hormones go down, um, and one of the things is it doesn't go down in everyone but, uh, and some people don't live the best lives and their hormones don't go down, but not just necessarily go down, but the balance is different.

00:14:01.886 --> 00:14:08.556
Yeah, so you might create some hormones at an increased level.

00:14:08.556 --> 00:14:11.105
Yeah, in comparison to other hormones.

00:14:11.144 --> 00:14:23.090
Yeah, and some of the ways you notice that you know your hormones are out of balance, or you know you have poor sleep, you're irritable, you can't think straight or focus.

00:14:23.090 --> 00:14:25.592
Um, you have trouble sleeping.

00:14:25.592 --> 00:14:28.275
Uh, it's all sorts of huge.

00:14:28.336 --> 00:14:43.571
Yes some sometimes like like people drink to get some sleep and stuff and they don't realize like you need to get like like over an hour hour 15 minutes of deep sleep to get sufficient growth hormone release.

00:14:43.571 --> 00:14:55.880
You're getting 30 minutes to 45 minutes like each night and that the drinking suppresses that deep sleep even more yeah, and also eating you.

00:14:56.142 --> 00:14:58.971
You want to like be like you.

00:14:58.971 --> 00:15:09.788
You want to have your last meal like four or five hours before hitting the sack, because that gives enough time for you to like release your hormones and be in a rested state.

00:15:09.788 --> 00:15:24.291
You don't want that food in your gut and the really it'll delay the release of growth hormone or decrease the release of your hormones is that the main hormones that are like yeah, no?

00:15:24.291 --> 00:15:25.933
It's just your system's response.

00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:39.995
So a lot of a big misunderstanding for a lot of people is that growth hormone is just like a release mechanism and they don't realize there's like a negative feedback loop for almost every hormone.

00:15:40.317 --> 00:15:40.437
Yeah.

00:15:40.539 --> 00:15:50.254
So your body's way to make sure you're not overproducing or overdoing something with a certain hormone is a negative feedback.

00:15:50.254 --> 00:15:54.971
That's why you don't want to go crazy gym style testosterone injections.

00:15:54.971 --> 00:16:00.392
Your body's going to have a negative feedback loop and it's going to shut that off.

00:16:00.392 --> 00:16:04.863
So you're technically, chemically, like castrating yourself.

00:16:05.082 --> 00:16:10.025
Yeah, and you'll notice decreased testicular size with being on a high dose.

00:16:10.066 --> 00:16:20.879
Yeah, but if you're at the high range and normal, that's your ideal like place to be, yeah, or the benefits without the side effects?

00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.462
Yeah, right, and it's not.

00:16:22.462 --> 00:16:29.753
It's not just testosterone, it's, it's, yeah, most most hormones in your body you want to be cortisol, insulin.

00:16:30.232 --> 00:16:31.355
You want to be balanced.

00:16:31.355 --> 00:16:40.557
Thyroid hormone, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone you want to be balanced and not, you know, too high, too low.

00:16:41.298 --> 00:16:46.368
Uh, you want to be balanced and not too high, too low you want to be balanced and optimized.

00:16:46.368 --> 00:17:02.059
And balanced and optimized or normal levels doesn't mean by going to Sonora Quest and it tells you you have normal lab levels, you got to look at what's optimal levels for when you were in your 20s or 30s, at your optimal level, rather than looking at numbers.

00:17:02.059 --> 00:17:11.873
You know, and a lot of hormone replacement places are usually treating you with symptom based rather than looking at your numbers.

00:17:11.873 --> 00:17:16.542
You know your, your lab numbers are going to give you a starting point.

00:17:16.542 --> 00:17:30.604
Yeah, but you want to use that to titrate the patients up to a level that they feel at their best or optimized and then keep them at that level and you just use their symptoms from then on.

00:17:30.604 --> 00:17:36.521
The lab values are just a starting point but then it gives you some guidance.

00:17:36.561 --> 00:17:38.071
What symptoms are you looking for?

00:17:38.693 --> 00:17:51.125
so, just like I said, poor sleep, brain fog feeling tired, despite getting sleep um it sounds like me depressed hair loss, hair growth, weight gain

00:17:52.048 --> 00:17:55.473
dude's talking about my estrogen decreased libido.

00:17:56.035 --> 00:17:57.596
If you're not horny, you're not healthy.

00:17:57.596 --> 00:17:59.640
So it's.

00:17:59.881 --> 00:18:01.242
That's a quick and easy way.

00:18:01.242 --> 00:18:02.765
Yeah, like to think of it.

00:18:03.111 --> 00:18:05.676
Yeah, if you're not horny, you're not healthy.

00:18:05.676 --> 00:18:06.598
Yeah, it's true.

00:18:06.598 --> 00:18:13.536
It's true, you need a decent amount of testosterone and, uh, most people are like the.

00:18:14.876 --> 00:18:22.866
I don't even know the units they measure it, but normal testosterone is 150 to 1200 or 1150.

00:18:23.931 --> 00:18:28.241
Well, I think it's 250 or 350 and it depends on labs.

00:18:28.442 --> 00:18:37.743
Yeah, it's why, like for somebody over 30 to be over 500 is probably not realistic.

00:18:37.943 --> 00:18:38.045
Yeah.

00:18:38.470 --> 00:18:39.433
You know so.

00:18:41.190 --> 00:18:45.221
And some people go by free testosterone and not total testosterone.

00:18:45.221 --> 00:18:47.457
What you're saying is total testosterone.

00:18:47.518 --> 00:18:51.851
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about, is it?

00:18:51.871 --> 00:18:54.616
the digestive hormones that play more of a role in the sleep.

00:18:54.616 --> 00:18:55.317
Part of it.

00:18:55.679 --> 00:19:05.499
No, no, no, okay, no, you still growth hormone and and even your testosterone pro progesterone Growth hormone seems to be huge.

00:19:05.769 --> 00:19:08.655
With growth hormone you can second this.

00:19:08.655 --> 00:19:14.237
But like growth hormone drops off as you age and drops off hardcore.

00:19:14.237 --> 00:19:25.220
It's really correlative with like expected life expectancy Okay, in secondary data, like not life expectancy Okay In secondary data, like not directly.

00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:27.036
Maybe I haven't looked that up.

00:19:27.049 --> 00:19:27.872
Well, you can't take.

00:19:27.872 --> 00:19:32.541
The thing is, you don't want to take too much growth hormone.

00:19:32.762 --> 00:19:35.128
No, or growth hormone itself.

00:19:35.250 --> 00:19:50.875
It matters if you want to build a forehead like Barry Bonds you take all taking growth hormone or like growth hormone, releasing peptides or keeping your growth hormone levels appropriate.

00:19:50.875 --> 00:19:53.623
Which is you measure like IGF levels.

00:19:53.623 --> 00:19:57.630
If they're appropriate, you know you could do healthy aging.

00:19:57.630 --> 00:20:08.156
But if you have elevated levels of growth hormone for extended periods of time, that's going to decrease your life expectancy and that's been shown in multiple studies.

00:20:08.630 --> 00:20:14.089
So you don't want to like, just yeah, you want things to grow appropriately.

00:20:14.089 --> 00:20:17.359
You don't want them because your body's in a balance.

00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:34.344
So you can optimize that balance or you can overdo it one way or another, like when you were taking growth hormone right and you were getting symptoms of neuropathy yeah, right, which our last youtube we talked about this.

00:20:34.424 --> 00:20:36.190
Like people like, oh, you don't get carpal tunnel.

00:20:36.190 --> 00:20:40.460
I'm like, yeah, you do um like taking.

00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:44.730
I've taken pure growth hormone like pharmaceutical grade.

00:20:44.730 --> 00:20:48.757
I've taken stuff from China he's taking stuff for horses.

00:20:49.592 --> 00:20:50.717
Why do you get carpal tunnel?

00:20:50.717 --> 00:20:54.135
Everything grows and you get edema.

00:20:54.135 --> 00:20:56.791
You get peripheral edema everywhere so.

00:20:56.872 --> 00:20:58.037
I got carpal tunnel.

00:20:58.037 --> 00:20:59.596
I got trigger fingers from it.

00:20:59.798 --> 00:21:01.108
Cervical spine issues, so I got carpal tunnel.

00:20:59.690 --> 00:21:00.210
I got trigger fingers from it.

00:21:00.210 --> 00:21:00.262
Cervical spine issues.

00:21:00.262 --> 00:21:10.800
Well, I think the cervical spine issues and stuff was poor posture, sedentary lifestyle and overweight.

00:21:11.351 --> 00:21:12.737
I think that was more of an issue.

00:21:12.737 --> 00:21:21.161
But yeah, it's like you have these small canals and everything's growing, so it's not going to be as efficient in movement.

00:21:21.401 --> 00:21:23.498
Yeah, I got hip pain like breast pain.

00:21:24.891 --> 00:21:31.103
So, like this is a great segue into the next thing is like we were talking about those negative feedback loops.

00:21:31.304 --> 00:21:31.463
Yeah.

00:21:31.691 --> 00:21:32.071
Where?

00:21:32.071 --> 00:21:46.049
If you take growth hormone, yeah, it triggers your body's negative feedback loop because it doesn't see the growth hormone releasing peptide to the growth hormone to the end receptors.

00:21:46.049 --> 00:21:49.329
It just sees like a huge amount of growth hormone.

00:21:49.329 --> 00:21:59.585
So your negative feedback loop tells your body to stop creating anything and everything down path to creating more growth hormone.

00:21:59.585 --> 00:22:14.161
So you're getting less growth hormone releasing peptide yeah right and less endogenous or fancy word for what your body makes that as growth hormone and, and that's why you want to cycle it, you want that is cycling.

00:22:14.181 --> 00:22:30.323
You do the you do five days on, two days off and before we even get into that, yeah is like it's also why it's preferential to take a releasing peptide rather than the growth hormone itself uh, not necessarily.

00:22:30.383 --> 00:22:32.575
It matters what you want to do, what you're looking for.

00:22:32.575 --> 00:22:37.632
You know some people growth hormone works perfect for like building muscles.

00:22:37.632 --> 00:22:42.711
Uh, I, I think it's more effective than the growth hormone releasing peptides.

00:22:42.711 --> 00:23:01.983
Um, and I've used igf, which is what growth hormone actually releases, and with igf you like straight up see, like right away you get cut up and like build muscle and it's great, but you're not supposed to be on it long term.

00:23:02.084 --> 00:23:11.391
I, I do it for like I do it for 20, 30 days and come off and I'll usually days on off, or do you spend more time I?

00:23:11.391 --> 00:23:13.516
Usually spend a lot of time off.

00:23:13.516 --> 00:23:14.719
I'll do it like once.

00:23:14.719 --> 00:23:15.861
What do you think like if?

00:23:15.901 --> 00:23:18.719
someone's trying to get like maximum effect of this.

00:23:18.719 --> 00:23:25.942
Like, let's say, if you're going out trying to hit 71 home runs yeah, but doing an illegal manner what would your cycle look like?

00:23:25.961 --> 00:23:45.775
um, I don't, I don't know you could do every day on, but I'd probably do like five days or six days on and one to two days off and just have the washout cycle and then be off of it, for they say six, six weeks, and then back on it for six weeks.

00:23:45.775 --> 00:23:48.319
Six weeks on six weeks for me.

00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.032
I do it like twice a year for like 20 days.

00:23:51.032 --> 00:23:55.422
I don't like um, and I do it like if I got a big trip planned.

00:23:55.501 --> 00:24:14.714
I try to get you know, especially a beach trip, not going skiing or something still showing off at the beach most people, especially young people, probably don't realize that they're walking around right now, at about 55, maybe 60 of their true state of normal.

00:24:14.714 --> 00:24:30.596
There is a nutrient, an amino acid, a substrate, a compound, an element missing from their body that, if they knew what it was, would make the difference between them being an average person and being a superhuman.

00:24:30.596 --> 00:24:54.692
They have accepted something as either a consequence of aging or a consequence of stress, or a consequence of their environment, something like brain fog or repeated poor sleep, or weight gain or water retention or not the healthiest response to exercise, or brain fog or poor short-term recall, or any number of things that they've accepted as consequence of life, of aging, of stress or what have you.

00:24:54.692 --> 00:24:56.903
That's not a consequence of any of those things.

00:24:56.903 --> 00:24:59.051
It's a consequence of missing raw material.

00:24:59.673 --> 00:25:00.073
What do you think?

00:25:00.073 --> 00:25:01.695
That think, that's your boy.

00:25:01.715 --> 00:25:21.240
No, he's right because, like all that stuff you know could be attributed to hormone imbalances, like he said, like, and some of that stuff leads to, you know, hormone imbalances it is hard to understand because he's saying like oh, maybe like one to two things that you could like.

00:25:22.942 --> 00:25:35.184
I took it as like one to two things like you can ingest will make up for all these things, where I think it's like a bigger picture thing well, you know, for some people it may just be the one or two things.

00:25:35.326 --> 00:25:40.034
I I think overall you got to fix everything else and then you go to the hormones.

00:25:40.034 --> 00:25:49.251
You know, you got to fix the sleep, you got to fix the lifestyle with exercise and being active, and then you got to fix the nutrition.

00:25:49.251 --> 00:25:57.395
You can't just like eat like crap and expect the other two to make up for it take 12 vitamin b12 tablets a day.

00:25:57.997 --> 00:25:59.240
That's what I was in.

00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:05.153
No, that's what I took it as I was just like okay, you can't just do one.

00:26:05.595 --> 00:26:15.612
Almost everybody is like yeah all those are going to elevate and like eating whole foods and all those are going to elevate your hormones and get them more in balance.

00:26:15.612 --> 00:26:23.511
But you know, if you're chronically like doing the wrong things, then it's going to be tough even fixing those.

00:26:23.511 --> 00:26:30.115
But, like, sometimes it's going to be a mixture, right, you're going to fix, you're going to have to fix the mixture right.

00:26:30.736 --> 00:26:31.638
It's lifestyle.

00:26:32.059 --> 00:26:42.138
And, like some people, can get away with just fixing their lifestyle, the way they eat, the way they sleep, the decrease in stress levels, and they don't need the hormone treatment.

00:26:42.138 --> 00:27:03.152
But some people, even with that, they can't get their hormones right where you know they need that boost to be able to, like, live stress-free, be more focused or on be able to build more muscle, just trying to do the hormone replacement to make up for all these stressors and everything that's compounding in their life.

00:27:03.573 --> 00:27:12.278
Where, like you, got to take like a holistic approach to address every issue, yeah, where like those can, it might take care of some of the symptoms.

00:27:12.278 --> 00:27:15.594
But it's not going to be like this, is it?

00:27:15.594 --> 00:27:20.653
This is your magic pill where, like, you get this hormone straight, yeah, your mind's going to be set.

00:27:20.653 --> 00:27:23.213
It's going to take care of your marital problems.

00:27:23.213 --> 00:27:38.559
You're going to become a better dad, like that that's what I'm saying like there's probably some adjustment overall yeah rather than just blaming one thing for everything that might not be optimized, but a lot of the things.

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:46.915
Although I'm the, you know I use stuff and like I think it's let to me being better in other ways.

00:27:46.915 --> 00:27:59.876
But, um, but like exercise is huge, because that exercise two things it gets your stress out, gets your meditation, there you get better sleep, you build muscle which helps you get better sleep.

00:27:59.876 --> 00:28:03.955
It you build muscle which helps you get better sleep increases your testosterone.

00:28:04.458 --> 00:28:06.103
Yeah, like so five times a week.

00:28:06.324 --> 00:28:09.854
Yeah, and resistance training, you got to do resistance training.

00:28:09.854 --> 00:28:26.765
You got to build that muscle to increase one to two hours a week, yeah, and the other thing is, if you, if you have a lot of fat, you're going to have increased estrogen levels, which is going to be it's going to make it tougher to lose the fat and you're going to be more irritable, and you know.

00:28:27.210 --> 00:28:44.951
Not just that, increased fat and, secondarily, estrogen levels probably lead to more cause of cancer and increased incidence of cancer, depression, anxiety, yeah, so there's some root causes that you can really take care.

00:28:44.991 --> 00:28:46.674
So I was actually I.

00:28:46.674 --> 00:28:50.242
I always get stuff every day from like metscape and stuff.

00:28:50.242 --> 00:28:51.753
There are two interesting studies.

00:28:51.753 --> 00:29:00.157
One was, um, they studied with genetic or um, what is it biological aging with multivitamins.

00:29:00.157 --> 00:29:09.432
I was trying to research and see what multivitamin these people were taking, that they were studying them and they did five biological, different biological markers.

00:29:09.432 --> 00:29:14.391
One was the first generation, one was the second generation and then they had this third one.

00:29:14.391 --> 00:29:20.039
I think it's built by themselves and it showed flintstone people yeah, people.

00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:22.443
It was a two-year, two-year study.

00:29:22.443 --> 00:29:37.019
People that took the multivitamins had a 20 percent decreased mortality rate and or decreased biological age than the placebo how they measure biological age I.

00:29:37.180 --> 00:29:40.219
I was trying to find the paper that they were coming out with I.

00:29:40.219 --> 00:29:45.117
I think this is a prelim like statement before the paper officially comes out.

00:29:45.117 --> 00:29:46.641
So I was trying to.

00:29:46.681 --> 00:29:48.750
I'm a little skeptical with that.

00:29:48.852 --> 00:29:54.442
All that matters on how they were studying it on patients that were 70 plus.

00:29:55.462 --> 00:30:10.038
So that's still good, yeah yeah, so but that population is also more likely to be deficient on a lot of vitamins well, nowadays, nowadays, everyone's deficient in something.

00:30:10.038 --> 00:30:13.830
Because of no, that is true, but like the older you get like.

00:30:13.830 --> 00:30:19.999
If you're over 70 years old, you just rely on like like we.

00:30:19.999 --> 00:30:26.471
We learned in med school yeah, like tea crackers, like you're just like wait what?

00:30:26.471 --> 00:30:36.071
You guys just feed this to people for like months on end, like they're more prone to be deficient in all these.

00:30:36.373 --> 00:30:47.537
Yeah, uh, smaller, moni smaller molecule but that that's crazy, with just a multivitamin to decrease biological aging by more than 20?

00:30:47.537 --> 00:30:50.325
So yeah.

00:30:50.345 --> 00:31:01.338
So if you have some, if you have a relative over 70, you clearly got to make sure they take their vitamins, take their protein shakes, and that in itself will add years to their lives.

00:31:01.338 --> 00:31:18.061
Might not have like scientific, like hard proof, but yeah, I'd like if there's something little you can do to add two to five years life expectancy to somebody you love, like why wouldn't you do that?

00:31:18.061 --> 00:31:19.070
Yeah, and it's not.

00:31:19.070 --> 00:31:24.297
You don't have to go fancy or anything like just make sure they have their protein intake.

00:31:25.520 --> 00:31:26.282
Eat your chicken.

00:31:26.282 --> 00:31:32.518
If they need supplements with shakes, get your multivitamin, and and there you go.

00:31:32.959 --> 00:31:39.518
It's a good starting point and then you can build on that yeah, and they just got to be active and have people that support them around them.

00:31:39.518 --> 00:31:42.943
That's like the Blue Zone stuff we always talk about.

00:31:42.943 --> 00:31:55.509
It's like when they feel like there's someone in their community and some people care about them, they're going to live longer, yeah.

00:31:58.193 --> 00:32:03.844
So stop by to deliver the multivitamins and just talk for a little bit.

00:32:03.844 --> 00:32:05.615
Hang out, go for a walk together.

00:32:05.895 --> 00:32:06.037
Yeah.

00:32:06.109 --> 00:32:11.080
That means a whole lot Like whether it means anything to you or not.

00:32:11.080 --> 00:32:18.836
Like health, wise, longterm, like that that adds years, yeah To people's lives.

00:32:19.471 --> 00:32:20.917
How about taking care of grandkids?

00:32:20.917 --> 00:32:22.296
Do you think that adds years, or?

00:32:22.296 --> 00:32:28.163
It definitely does it definitely does I think there's research with, like people who own.

00:32:28.671 --> 00:32:32.559
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the research that people who own dogs live longer.

00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:37.843
Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure, and people that have kids at older age live longer too.

00:32:38.044 --> 00:32:45.076
Really, yeah, I think there's research out for that too it's also the will of shorter, though it's also the will to live.

00:32:45.076 --> 00:32:51.438
I think more people have the will to live, yeah yeah, it's will to live like I.

00:32:51.577 --> 00:33:00.117
I personally think I like the dog ones because, coming back to the hormones, it makes perfect sense well, you have to go take your dogs out for a walk.

00:33:00.117 --> 00:33:04.845
You have to go out and get some sunlight to begin the day.

00:33:04.845 --> 00:33:08.420
Maybe go out for a walk again another time during the day.

00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:11.750
So the companionship helps Also.

00:33:11.750 --> 00:33:19.384
Again, that sunlight that sets you off way better from like cortisol levels.

00:33:19.384 --> 00:33:22.400
Again, getting that sunlight within the first hour.

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:24.795
Oxytocin exactly.

00:33:24.815 --> 00:33:28.461
Dogs have like eight to ten times the oxytocin of human beings.

00:33:28.561 --> 00:33:33.123
That's why they oh really won't leave you alone I did not know that.

00:33:33.243 --> 00:33:36.353
Yeah, that's crazy, that's yeah, that's why they hump you every second.

00:33:36.373 --> 00:33:41.403
Yeah, yeah you could smack them, and they still love you, yeah.

00:33:42.790 --> 00:33:44.895
There is all the shit I got from sprouts today.

00:33:44.895 --> 00:33:50.259
As someone who suffers from anxiety and hormonal issues, you want to start your day off in the best mood ever.

00:33:50.259 --> 00:33:52.357
I promise you Moringa tea.

00:33:52.357 --> 00:33:57.142
Moringa has something in it called quercetin which influences your serotonin levels in the brain.

00:33:57.142 --> 00:34:00.559
It's going to increase serotonin and just make you feel really good and happy.

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:03.864
Next I have Coco June organic cultured coconut yogurt.

00:34:03.864 --> 00:34:17.396
This is not only good for your hormone health because it's a source of healthy fat and it's a great source of probiotics, but it also is really great for your mental health because it contains medium chain triglycerides just basically brain fuel an absurd amount of chomps.

00:34:17.396 --> 00:34:20.242
This is just to hit my protein goal each day as a snack.

00:34:20.242 --> 00:34:23.014
Protein is very important for hormone synthesis.

00:34:23.014 --> 00:34:25.259
You literally need protein to make hormones.

00:34:25.259 --> 00:34:30.487
It also helps regulate your blood sugar levels so no spikes in blood sugar and it helps with estrogen balance.

00:34:30.586 --> 00:34:33.014
There is one tea I can tell women to take for hormone health.

00:34:33.014 --> 00:34:34.318
It is raspberry leaf tea.

00:34:34.318 --> 00:34:36.851
It supports the tone and strength of uterine muscles.

00:34:36.851 --> 00:34:42.822
This is very useful for people who experience menstrual cramps or anyone who is about to go through child labor.

00:34:42.822 --> 00:34:47.132
It helps with balancing out your hormones and it reduces heavy menstrual flow.

00:34:47.132 --> 00:34:50.264
It is the best tea you could possibly drink as a woman.

00:34:50.264 --> 00:34:54.038
I swear by it the best almond milk out there almond milk.

00:34:54.038 --> 00:34:58.275
Almonds contain vitamin E, and vitamin E reduces oxidative stress in the body.

00:34:58.275 --> 00:35:03.659
I also don't like to drink dairy milk often, every single day, just because it makes me bloated, personally.

00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:12.096
And almond milk this is the cleanest almond milk you will ever find in the grocery store, so this is why I like to buy this brand, in particular, cremini mushrooms.

00:35:12.096 --> 00:35:15.510
Cremini mushrooms are a great source of B vitamins, which will give you energy.

00:35:15.510 --> 00:35:21.230
They help convert your food into cellular energy Also are a great source of selenium, which is the happy mineral.

00:35:21.230 --> 00:35:23.920
This is also the same mineral found in brazilian nuts.

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:25.547
Then I got micro broccoli.

00:35:25.547 --> 00:35:28.057
I just like the vibe of adding this in a bowl.

00:35:28.057 --> 00:35:30.548
I like the way it looks, but they are very nutrient dense.

00:35:30.548 --> 00:35:34.867
They're full of antioxidants which can benefit both your brain health and your hormone health.

00:35:35.208 --> 00:35:37.577
Sweet potatoes are insane.

00:35:37.577 --> 00:35:40.927
People don't realize this, but sweet potatoes are adaptogens.

00:35:40.927 --> 00:35:45.038
They contain compounds called anthocyanins which help your body respond to stress better.

00:35:45.038 --> 00:35:50.119
It's particularly useful for women who are struggling with their cycle because of stress-related issues.

00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.978
They also contain phytoestrogens, which have a mild estrogen effect.

00:35:53.978 --> 00:36:00.981
This is also really great for anyone who just recently got off the pill and they contain vitamin B6, which is a precursor to make serotonin.

00:36:00.981 --> 00:36:02.152
They get senna tea.

00:36:02.152 --> 00:36:08.673
Um, senna is a natural herb that helps with constipation, but this is not going to benefit your hormone health or your mental health.

00:36:08.673 --> 00:36:09.516
Well, it might.

00:36:09.516 --> 00:36:16.025
If you're constipated, do take it, because I take iron supplements and sometimes I just need some extra assistance.

00:36:16.025 --> 00:36:20.235
And then, to get some greens in, I like to get the pre-made salads from Taylor Farms.

00:36:20.235 --> 00:36:24.164
I got the dill pickle and the sunflower crunch chopped salad kit.

00:36:24.164 --> 00:36:27.701
Lastly, to reduce inflammation in the body, purple sweet potato.

00:36:27.701 --> 00:36:30.519
This is a very strong anti-inflammatory agent.

00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:36.719
It also is rich in fiber and it helps regulate your blood sugar levels, so you won't have any sudden deep cravings throughout the day.

00:36:37.150 --> 00:36:40.280
Okay, so most of the stuff she said I agree with.

00:36:44.010 --> 00:36:44.251
The chomps.

00:36:44.411 --> 00:36:53.396
They can't be good they're, they're, yeah, they're really good, because of high protein levels yeah, but they have a crap ton of sodium, like each one of the chomps.

00:36:53.396 --> 00:37:01.177
I had a couple today, but each one has like over 30 percent of your sodium uh daily value of sodium.

00:37:01.177 --> 00:37:04.362
So you, you have two of those sticks.

00:37:04.362 --> 00:37:16.137
That's not going to fill you up for 60 of your day, but you consumed 60 of your sodium into like beef sticks or whatever you call it that was.

00:37:16.197 --> 00:37:18.402
That was an easy 200 shopping list.

00:37:18.402 --> 00:37:18.893
That was dude.

00:37:18.893 --> 00:37:19.355
But you go to sprouts.

00:37:19.375 --> 00:37:20.844
If you go to sprouts, you, you got $200 shopping list.

00:37:20.844 --> 00:37:21.829
That was dude, but you go to sprouts.

00:37:21.829 --> 00:37:25.956
If you go to sprouts, you, you got a $200 shopping list either way.

00:37:27.059 --> 00:37:32.045
Um the it's just the broccoli, it's like seven bucks and it might be two servings in there.

00:37:32.125 --> 00:37:37.097
It's expensive, the broccoli sprouts and stuff it's I.

00:37:37.097 --> 00:37:40.894
I personally like it a lot Very nutritious, like broccoli sprouts.

00:37:40.894 --> 00:37:41.556
It's good too.

00:37:41.556 --> 00:37:55.483
Yeah, they actually have servings of broccoli sprouts that aren't quite what she showed, but something different that's cheaper, that's more nutrient dense than the more grown sprouts that she showed.

00:37:55.483 --> 00:38:00.760
Those are really good, especially if you want to make like a greens mix or a green juice.

00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:05.320
I, kind of like a maniac, eat it right out of a container.

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:09.637
What else did you?

00:38:09.637 --> 00:38:12.260
The one thing is almond milk.

00:38:12.289 --> 00:38:13.335
Why wouldn't you just take a supplement?

00:38:13.570 --> 00:38:13.791
Almond milk.

00:38:13.791 --> 00:38:15.896
I am not sold on almond milk.

00:38:15.896 --> 00:38:16.637
What?

00:38:16.657 --> 00:38:16.797
do you?

00:38:16.818 --> 00:38:24.543
mean I don't know there's something environmentally and holistically against almond milk.

00:38:25.110 --> 00:38:26.177
Do you like cashew milk?

00:38:26.177 --> 00:38:27.563
No.

00:38:27.570 --> 00:38:45.181
So any of the nut milks, because a lot of those farms that grow those nuts are like depriving depriving like the Colorado river from draining down.

00:38:45.181 --> 00:38:58.137
I guess it's because we're in Arizona, but like it's leading to a lot of droughts even in like Southern California, because of how much waters like siphoned off or specifically like almond farms.

00:38:58.137 --> 00:38:59.760
All right, interesting.

00:39:00.251 --> 00:39:04.179
So you get oat milk, which is not good Oat milk fucking sucks.

00:39:04.179 --> 00:39:04.581
Yeah.

00:39:05.851 --> 00:39:06.949
It's not good for your sugar.

00:39:06.949 --> 00:39:09.117
I don't like alternative milks.

00:39:09.117 --> 00:39:09.739
I don't.

00:39:10.250 --> 00:39:15.978
Yeah, I've just started to go back to just doing whole milk, but I don't drink much milk anyway.

00:39:16.018 --> 00:39:16.380
I can't.

00:39:16.380 --> 00:39:18.351
I still do it.

00:39:18.351 --> 00:39:25.440
Yeah, and I love whole milk, but my skin flares up when I drink whole dairy.

00:39:25.481 --> 00:39:29.005
Well, that's where you've got to get the lorazetide GI repair.

00:39:29.065 --> 00:39:30.106
I did lorazetide.

00:39:30.429 --> 00:39:34.601
You've got to do the GI repair from Level Up, Level Up.

00:39:34.601 --> 00:39:37.929
They got BPC, lorazetide and KPV together.

00:39:38.831 --> 00:39:41.378
But most of that I agree with.

00:39:41.378 --> 00:40:01.538
There's no reason not to do it but you can take a supplement like rather than doing that that is true, but there I do believe that some things you absorb better with natural foods than a supplement with a food yeah, you got to take a shit ton of it where you get it.

00:40:01.717 --> 00:40:02.742
Get it in a tiny pill.

00:40:03.210 --> 00:40:06.597
But you can't just eat pills, but you but you gotta also.

00:40:06.858 --> 00:40:27.380
You know like you gotta get it from like a well-sourced place, that you know like we use thorn, you know what's in there and you're getting the appropriate balance of um he did mention thorn, so, thorn, if you're looking to for paid advertisement, we got your back don't be cheap.

00:40:28.021 --> 00:40:46.074
So I was saying the other article that I looked at was, you know they were talking about glp-1s and the weight loss from being on GLP-1s and diabetics that is correlated with decreased cancer risk, which you know.

00:40:46.074 --> 00:40:56.880
Even metformin, because I think how it moderates your sugars and you're not spiking and being all over the place.

00:40:56.880 --> 00:41:04.478
You're not in that inflammatory state of creating cancer, so you're going to have much decreased cancer risk.

00:41:05.501 --> 00:41:07.509
It kind of puts you in extremes.

00:41:07.509 --> 00:41:12.353
Right, if you're a diabetic, your blood sugar goes extremely high and extremely low, yeah.

00:41:12.353 --> 00:41:15.911
Or compared to somebody that stays in a tight range.

00:41:16.132 --> 00:41:16.253
Yeah.

00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:18.007
Same thing with your heart rate right.

00:41:18.027 --> 00:41:30.461
Yeah, like that's like my key right now in like working out and getting motivated to work out is I'm like, just looking at my resting heart rate, I'm like I got to get that under 70 right now and I have to.

00:41:30.481 --> 00:41:33.920
Just looking at my resting heart rate, I'm like I got to get that under 70 right now and I have I want to get it under 60 within a month or two.

00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:45.260
Not just that, it's like looking at that heart rate compared to walking heart rate, my walking heart rate's like 100, 105, 110.

00:41:45.260 --> 00:41:47.969
And I want to get that under 100.

00:41:47.969 --> 00:41:56.692
And it's just like if you're resting heart rate, that's a good number to go by, because if that's not under control, your heart can go out of whack.

00:41:56.692 --> 00:42:11.269
When you go on like do a little bit of activity, uh like because if you're resting heart rates 80, you take like a swift walk or like just chase a ball down with like your kid or something, your heart rate might shoot up to like 120 140.

00:42:11.269 --> 00:42:17.081
And you gotta like consider your lifespan, not in years but in how many times your heart beats.

00:42:17.081 --> 00:42:23.461
And if you consider that, you're like, okay, I want to get my walking heart rate down, my resting heart rate down.

00:42:23.461 --> 00:42:23.641
Like.

00:42:23.681 --> 00:42:33.603
This is all connected like, and, and make but if you count it that way, then if you count, if you just rest all the time you're, you have no cause.

00:42:33.623 --> 00:42:41.952
Then cause, then your resting heart rate won't decrease, right Cause you're resting, your heart needs to be conditioned to beat at a lower pace.

00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:49.068
So if you're going to be lying around, your resting heart rate's going to gradual, like, let's say, I was like, uh, like just a glob of mush lying around.

00:42:49.068 --> 00:42:52.782
My resting heart rate's going to gradually, like, let's say, I was like, uh, like just a glob of mush lying around.

00:42:52.782 --> 00:43:35.425
My resting heart rate as I get older, is just going to keep going up, up, up where, like if you're working out, it makes it more efficient, it's pumping the right amount of blood out yeah, since I got the eight sleep I don't know if it's the eight sleep or it's I've also, like, started to use my tonal more um yeah, my resting heart rate's gone to 60 to 65, where it used to be above 70 all the time no, that's definitely working and also like when you don't, when you eat late at night, your heart rate remains high until like end of the, you know, almost early morning um, and doesn't really drop, which, like you know, keep.

00:43:36.447 --> 00:43:42.184
You know fasting at the end of the night and also the eight sleep and getting good deep sleep.

00:43:42.184 --> 00:43:48.063
You know my hrv's gone up because I could never get it above 20 until I got the eight sleep.

00:43:48.063 --> 00:43:49.007
I like me.

00:43:49.007 --> 00:43:53.065
Hrv's gone up and I've been working out too, so I'm like which one is it?

00:43:53.065 --> 00:43:53.788
Is it the?

00:43:54.389 --> 00:43:55.172
eight sleeper?

00:43:55.172 --> 00:43:57.079
Yeah, it's, it's all of it combined.

00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:58.722
Yeah, it's decreasing stress.

00:43:58.722 --> 00:44:10.534
Yeah, eating healthy, having a good routine like if you don't have a good routine, like it's hard for your body to calm down when it needs to Exercise is really important.

00:44:10.534 --> 00:44:17.911
Like people are like, oh, I got to work out to keep my weight low, it's like no, but it's way more important to keep your heart healthy.

00:44:17.911 --> 00:44:21.224
And I forgot the last one.

00:44:21.224 --> 00:44:22.427
What was I thinking?

00:44:22.427 --> 00:44:24.472
Sex?

00:44:24.472 --> 00:44:29.351
No, sex is activity and proper hormone release.

00:44:30.313 --> 00:44:53.094
Yeah, and yeah, like, just keeping that down, stay away from cigarettes, oh cigarettes and alcohol hydration yeah, because if you're not properly hydrated, you don't have the amount of blood volume in your system, so your heart's going to work a little extra hard to get that smaller amount of volume throughout your body for that amount of time.

00:44:54.561 --> 00:44:58.911
Yeah, I saw like a real this weekend.

00:44:58.911 --> 00:45:05.208
This guy's like making fun of people showing their morning routines and he's like I get up, I start doing work.

00:45:05.208 --> 00:45:06.699
I'm like all right.

00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:09.027
I get up do three lines of coke.

00:45:09.027 --> 00:45:11.965
Yeah Boom, and I'm making my phone calls.

00:45:14.027 --> 00:45:20.239
I'm like alright, dude, it's more important to do the cold plunges, do your workout or do your stretches.

00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:30.248
I've been better about stretching and working out one to two hours of getting up early and getting that done, not like a three, four hour.

00:45:30.248 --> 00:45:32.295
I understand that's not.

00:45:33.041 --> 00:45:34.387
I'm still bad when I get up.

00:45:34.387 --> 00:45:39.532
It's automatically into the screen on my phone for like 10 to 20 minutes.

00:45:39.532 --> 00:46:07.181
But I've been getting better about like even if I do that screen time getting my stretches, whether it's like a beginner's yoga or like the resistance bands, getting like between the two, it's like, no matter what it is, whether it's yoga, stretching, resistance bands, bike I keep all of them to 20 minutes yeah I try to do two of those things each morning.

00:46:07.583 --> 00:46:21.079
Yeah, so like mondays and fridays, my easy days where I'll I'll do either yoga or stretching and like, just like a beginner, ride on the peloton, like nothing crazy again.

00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:31.873
Like maybe my heart rate up to like 130, 140 you know ram's morning routine Just praying that he's alive from Saran, not killing him.

00:46:34.096 --> 00:46:35.016
I'm alive.

00:46:35.900 --> 00:46:37.880
That kid's going to be in a crib with a cover.

00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:47.173
Well, last night I mean he just wakes up Last night he had a nightmare and he was just like fix, fix, fix, I don't know.

00:46:47.173 --> 00:46:50.048
Something needed to be fixed in his nightmare.

00:46:53.739 --> 00:47:00.760
It takes after his grandpa so much he wakes up in a nightmare, yelling fix, fix, fix I wonder where he gets that right back to sleep.

00:47:00.820 --> 00:47:01.782
That was hilarious.

00:47:01.782 --> 00:47:08.804
I was like oh thanks for ruining my sleep but yep, okay, let's go fix it, would you say this.

00:47:08.804 --> 00:47:12.431
So the study brought decreased cancer risk.

00:47:12.831 --> 00:47:13.273
Yeah, which.00:47:14.284 --> 00:47:15.920


That makes sense because sugar levels come down.00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:19.188


Most studies will show you lower BMI.00:47:19.188 --> 00:47:19.751


Yeah.00:47:19.751 --> 00:47:28.563


Yeah, I mean if you and like all the cancer studies, lower BMI is related to, it's correlated with Cancer risk is going to go down if your blood sugar is controlled, no matter what.00:47:28.744 --> 00:48:12.036


Yeah, that and more importantly I think it's more related, like what Ruz is saying, lower BMI equals lower estrogen levels, equals lower cancer risk, even if, like you look at the studies recently that come out that despite like, early detection, early treatment of cancers, yeah, for, uh, mostly males between ages, like it's something like 20 to 50 despite that the amount of deaths due to those cancers have not decreased, so that it's an increased prevalence of these cancers happening despite better treatment.00:48:14.463 --> 00:48:17.090


But it's treatment which is led by big pharma.00:48:17.090 --> 00:48:25.992


They give you these drugs and even estrogen blockers and stuff that don't really help people survive longer.00:48:28.891 --> 00:48:30.163


It's just yeah, they're poison.00:48:30.163 --> 00:48:31.592


It's just yeah, maybe it's it's they're they're they're poison.00:48:31.592 --> 00:48:39.753


Yeah, just directed poison yeah but if, if that poison has the right effect, well, before it.00:48:40.173 --> 00:48:44.947


Before I used to think like people were crazy when they didn't want to take chemo and stuff.00:48:44.947 --> 00:48:51.271


But then you look into it and like maybe they wanted because people give me the numbers.00:48:51.271 --> 00:48:55.019


Give me the numbers and start reporting quality of life measures.00:48:55.181 --> 00:48:58.210


It's like how good people feel while they're alive.00:48:58.210 --> 00:49:09.608


So like, okay, if I'm going to live five more years and feel great while I live those five more years, versus living 10 years feeling like shit.00:49:09.608 --> 00:49:14.384


Like tell me, like there's got to be numbers on those yeah and that's not available.00:49:14.384 --> 00:49:16.487


Like that shit.00:49:16.487 --> 00:49:34.668


Like I, I would take living well for two years over, living like crap where, like we've seen our patients let me ask this question so you get what supposed cure versus someone that has cancer?00:49:35.047 --> 00:49:41.552


Do you think the person that's been cured mentally is better, or the person that's been cured?00:49:41.552 --> 00:49:56.773


It's probably every day thinking the cancer's coming back, right where the guy's like all right, I got cancer.00:49:56.813 --> 00:50:10.489


I'm gonna die from this and I'm gonna live my best life it varies personally, that's a big, like spectrum to go over, like how people would respond to stressors like that yeah it's.00:50:10.489 --> 00:50:15.771


It's hard to say you have to go case by case on that I don't think you could generalize that.00:50:15.771 --> 00:50:20.612


Yeah, that's what I think, because we've had to go through it personally.00:50:20.612 --> 00:50:25.987


In our family it's like, okay, this isn't curable but it's treatable.00:50:25.987 --> 00:50:31.394


Wait, what, I didn't know that was a thing.00:50:37.460 --> 00:50:42.487


Dude, we saw both our grandma and grandpa get put through shit that we're like you guys just got to let them go and they weren't willing to let them go.00:50:42.487 --> 00:50:48.326


The family, like us being physicians, kept on telling our parents.00:50:49.981 --> 00:50:50.882


What's realistic.00:50:50.882 --> 00:50:53.811


If there's a chance like yes, let's go ahead and fight.00:50:53.811 --> 00:50:55.963


If we're but like.00:50:56.023 --> 00:51:08.289


Rod Mayer's, the neurosurgeon, and my grandfather had a huge aneurysm Right and like that person, like more, like you know you're just keeping them alive, for for your own good.00:51:08.451 --> 00:51:08.650


Yeah.00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:14.773


And, like in Iran, the hospital systems aren't as good as they are in the US.00:51:14.773 --> 00:51:24.135


So it's like you know it just strains everyone when you're doing that.00:51:26.262 --> 00:51:27.606


That's a whole discussion.00:51:28.579 --> 00:51:34.045


I think, that would be a whole nother episode with yeah, End of life care.00:51:34.547 --> 00:51:44.387


Yeah, that's, and and just like the mentality behind, that actually would be a really good episode to dive into, because we're a physician, so we we also think differently about it.00:51:45.043 --> 00:51:58.824


So realistic outlook, yeah, and like I was a general surgery resident before this, so it's like but you know you've also seen people in the icu pretty aggressive about talking about end of life, like this guy just got here.00:51:58.903 --> 00:52:01.951


Yeah, like you want to like kick back like let's not.00:52:01.951 --> 00:52:10.311


Let's not try to like, scrape organs out of this body or just yet, oh yeah, when the donor network like oh, we're going to talk about it.00:52:10.311 --> 00:52:13.326


It's like dude's got a sucking chest wound.00:52:13.326 --> 00:52:17.164


Like can we take care of that chest wound while the family decides?00:52:17.164 --> 00:52:26.007


It's like I've had some bad, like most of it makes sense, but some of it's just like you're kind of pushing.00:52:26.007 --> 00:52:32.481


That's a whole separate episode we got to of pushing wait.00:52:32.501 --> 00:52:33.143


That's a whole separate episode.00:52:33.143 --> 00:52:33.963


We gotta, we gotta, we gotta save that one.00:52:33.963 --> 00:52:34.385


Do you recommend any?00:52:34.385 --> 00:52:34.505


Any?00:52:34.505 --> 00:52:43.608


Speaking of this episode, do you guys recommend anything to take like just foods to eat for hormones rather than supplements?00:52:44.548 --> 00:52:50.358


it's just dude you to keep whole nutritious foods you know, to just balance.00:52:50.378 --> 00:53:07.085


Yeah, whole and processed, like cut out processed stuff there was research put out, like last year, that said, like directly, like correlating the dose of processed red meat and Alzheimer's, like directly correlating that.00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:09.327


Processed foods, your oils.00:53:12.940 --> 00:53:13.721


Yeah, like directly correlating that.00:53:13.721 --> 00:53:14.503


And it was those, your oils.00:53:14.503 --> 00:53:18.349


Yeah, yeah, so like just whole foods, stay away from processed foods, keep the protein rich.00:53:18.349 --> 00:53:21.394


Uh, greens like you can't go wrong with greens.00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:38.914


Everybody cut out sugars, yeah, and a lot of people, and even like even your meats and know where your meats and your fish and stuff are sourced, because if you're going to farm-raise salmon, you might think it tastes great, but that's inflammatory.00:53:38.960 --> 00:54:06.871


You're going to get the omega-6s instead of the omega-3s, like good grass-fed beef, and that fish has been eating other fish's shit the whole time yeah, so organic grass-fed beef is going to get you plenty of like omega-3s that you know, that crappy piece of uh salmon it lacks, and it's going to be more inflammatory than eating a nice fresh proteins greens, get some antioxidants.00:54:07.391 --> 00:54:15.228


Some people overdo it with the fruit but, yeah, keep a little like well balanced, even though like what the traditional well balance is like.00:54:15.228 --> 00:54:17.563


Yeah, you don't need to eat a banana every day.00:54:17.603 --> 00:54:19.306


You don't need to eat an apple every day.00:54:19.306 --> 00:54:21.922


Keep it more vegetables than fruits.00:54:21.922 --> 00:54:23.023


Fruits to a minimum.00:54:23.023 --> 00:54:30.007


You know I I eat oranges, just you know, during flu season and stuff just to pick up the vitamins.00:54:32.922 --> 00:54:34.365


And then once a month, just butt, chug some coffee.00:54:34.365 --> 00:54:36.030


This is day one of taking testosterone.00:54:36.030 --> 00:54:45.690


So about two months ago I went to a medical lab center that takes all of your blood and then runs a full lab examination on them.00:54:45.690 --> 00:54:48.298


For three or four years I've been suffering a lot with some crazy weird symptoms that I could just never figure out.00:54:48.298 --> 00:54:52.489


What was going on, like extreme fatigue, brain fog, low energy, low motivation.00:54:52.489 --> 00:54:57.351


In general I was having really bad migraines so I was hoping, going to this lab they could see if anything was wrong.00:54:57.351 --> 00:54:58.739


They tested like a million things.00:54:58.739 --> 00:54:59.681


It was kind of overwhelming.00:54:59.681 --> 00:55:04.360


They did my white blood cell count, all the vitamins in my body, thyroid, my hormones.00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:10.431


When my doctor and I started talking about my hormones, she noticed that my testosterone levels were like super, super, super, super low.00:55:10.431 --> 00:55:15.204


Usually when you think of testosterone you think of men and male hormones, but women actually need testosterone too.00:55:15.204 --> 00:55:21.708


If you have very low levels it can cause symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, feeling weak, tired, and that's how I was feeling.00:55:21.708 --> 00:55:29.849


She prescribed me a low dose of testosterone to try out and I wanted to share my process with it because I feel like a lot of women might not know about it and it might be a good option for you.00:55:29.849 --> 00:55:31.112


So this is what it looks like.00:55:31.112 --> 00:55:36.974


It's in a little like deodorant tube, I guess you click it out and then rub it on the inside of your arms.00:55:36.974 --> 00:55:40.445


You can take it in a couple different ways, but this is the way that she prescribed me.00:55:40.445 --> 00:55:44.204


If you want to see how it goes, then follow along and comment if you have any questions.00:55:45.907 --> 00:56:07.099


I personally love that like a lot, and sometimes it might not even show up in lab tests, but it shows up symptomatically, like where you're feeling this way and especially with like the last 10, 15 years we've gone with medicine where, like you go in with like I'm feeling kind of drowsy or whatever.00:56:07.099 --> 00:56:09.809


A lot of people turn in to what Adderall.00:56:09.809 --> 00:56:17.052


Well, amphetamines like and that's like what we've turned into and with the problem with that anxiolytics?00:56:17.052 --> 00:56:24.733


Yeah, yeah and it's kind of like masking the symptom rather than taking care of the symptom.00:56:24.780 --> 00:56:39.161


Well you can treat it, but, like I, I would want to know more about this before being like all right, because no I, I know, but she's a, she's a young girl, so you, you got to figure out why, you know like, is it her diet?00:56:39.161 --> 00:56:40.443


Is she not sleeping right?00:56:40.443 --> 00:56:44.251


Is she got some heavy metal poisoning, like what?00:56:44.251 --> 00:56:45.701


Where is she working?00:56:45.701 --> 00:56:46.762


Is she high stress?00:56:46.762 --> 00:56:51.072


Because, because, you got to fix all this stuff.00:56:51.072 --> 00:56:56.351


And you got to figure out why she's testosterone deficient.00:56:56.440 --> 00:57:04.750


No, but I think a lot of people are on Exactly you got to come down with the root cause, but still.00:57:04.900 --> 00:57:06.778


But hormones can't treat testosterone.00:57:09.324 --> 00:57:23.820


Replacing her testosterone is better than getting our antidepressants antidepressants, anxiolytics, Adderall, Like and we know people on those, like multiple people, that are just increasing the dose.00:57:23.820 --> 00:57:26.188


But I'm just saying someone young like her.00:57:26.360 --> 00:57:49.431


I would definitely like try to see everything before just going to testosterone, because a lot of people aren't going to do the heavy metal testing or try to figure out why their life's, and take a good questionnaire of the life lifestyle and figure out what's causing the root issue for her to be testosterone deficient and what's testosterone deficient in females.00:57:49.431 --> 00:57:57.402


It's kind of a guessing game with females and sometimes it is just, you know, more with symptomatic treatment than anything else.00:57:57.402 --> 00:58:02.291


Because I had, you know, I had patients come in.00:58:02.291 --> 00:58:04.340


They, you know, they just go in these clinics.00:58:04.340 --> 00:58:06.106


They're like, oh, they're feeling great, just keep on boosting it up.00:58:06.106 --> 00:58:08.012


And then they get clitoral hypertrophy and they're coming with a mustache, yeah, yeah.00:58:08.012 --> 00:58:09.637


And they're like, oh, they're feeling great, just keep on boosting it up.00:58:09.637 --> 00:58:13.173


And then they get clitoral hypertrophy and they're coming with a mustache.00:58:13.333 --> 00:58:14.077


Yeah, kind of in mind.00:58:14.077 --> 00:58:15.141


Yeah, and they're like what?00:58:15.141 --> 00:58:16.724


What can I do about this?00:58:16.744 --> 00:58:22.621


so hey, doc, a lot of it feels great I'm about to throw you through this.00:58:23.003 --> 00:58:49.914


A lot of it's reversible, with just getting them balanced and to the right dose yeah but but like, yeah, young patients, though you gotta, they're going to try to get pregnant and stuff, and you got to worry about that, yeah, but also sometimes they need to be on hormones, like for females, they need to be on progesterone to be able to get pregnant because they might be estrogen dominant and not producing enough progesterone.00:58:50.114 --> 00:58:51.222


It's all about the balance.00:58:51.222 --> 00:59:05.922


Yeah, homeostasis so the online people are asking whether testosterone is something that can make you taller yeah, I used to be as tall as rom until I took testosterone towering over all my brothers.00:59:05.922 --> 00:59:14.686


I don't think so once your growth plates fuse, unless you're taking it while you're growing, which I would not recommend.00:59:14.686 --> 00:59:17.878


It doesn't scientifically make sense.00:59:18.541 --> 00:59:20.168


That's the issue with growth hormone too.00:59:20.168 --> 00:59:32.309


That's where you find the hip pain, the wrist pain, because your bone's going to grow but the plates are fused, so you're not going to grow taller, it's just going to increase in density.00:59:32.730 --> 00:59:35.789


Yeah, with Barry Bond's forehead.00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:37.246


Yeah, exactly.00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:41.088


How about the new surgery that people are doing to make themselves taller?00:59:41.931 --> 00:59:42.972


That's another episode.00:59:42.972 --> 00:59:45.945


Where and how is testosterone produced?00:59:47.068 --> 00:59:47.750


Your testes.00:59:48.150 --> 00:59:51.324


Balls yeah, you could have made it easy.00:59:51.565 --> 00:59:54.260


Yeah, listening but you're like, well it's.00:59:54.260 --> 00:59:55.605


It's a conversion of.00:59:55.605 --> 01:00:00.840


You know comes from cholesterol, gets converted to dht and I don't know.01:00:00.860 --> 01:00:05.349


And for females it's from estrogen that gets converted to testosterone, correct?01:00:06.132 --> 01:00:06.833


or how did they?01:00:07.400 --> 01:00:13.085


no, testosterone gets converted to estrogen like where does the testosterone come from?01:00:13.085 --> 01:00:15.936


In females, though, they have testosterone.01:00:15.996 --> 01:00:18.565


Females have testosterone, but where does it come?01:00:18.565 --> 01:00:24.561


Ovaries, ovaries, yeah oh okay, yeah, just your, it's the reproductive same thing.01:00:24.661 --> 01:00:29.309


Okay, clearly it's balls on the inside, okay physiology.01:00:29.329 --> 01:00:32.914


It's been a while, for I know it's been like step one for me.
