#077: Men's Health And Achieving Optimal Performance Mar 21, 2018

Show notes

Menopause, PMS, moodiness, pregnancy, menstruation, you've probably at some point heard about all of these, or maybe even been lucky enough to experience being a bystander to one of these.

These moments in a woman's body that are strictly hormonal. The 28-day cycle of what seems like highs and lows in energy, mood, and even libido.

But did you know, that men suffer from a similar swing in hormones? While woman run off of a more well-known 28-day cycle, there is some speculation that men have their own monthly cycle as well. However, as of now, you are still recognized to be fluctuation on a strict 24-hour cycle.

Regardless, they are finding that men are undergoing the same hormonal swings as women, maybe just not in the same fashion. Of course, all of this research is coming off the startling statistics about men's testosterone levels, rates of erectile dysfunction and even sperm counts.

Today on the podcast, I bring an episode just for the men. We dive into the core of the issues, testosterone, from how it's regulated, what is causing low testosterone and how to get more of it to achieve optimal performance.

#076: Are These Everyday Items Destroying Your Hormones? Mar 14, 2018

Show notes

There is a lot of movement in the work of what our environment is doing to our health. Which is exciting coming off an age when all we focused on and talked about and treated were symptoms.

An age where dieting was the answer, not to mention all the rage.

But times are changing. We're learning more and discovering that while diet and exercise are beneficial and necessary, they definitely aren't the end all be all.

We know this because of the countless thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people who eat right and exercise well and yet cease to see any results.

The dreaded fear we all think about when embarking on yet another health regimen.

But I'm here to tell you that we know there is so much more to the health equation than simply what we eat and how much we exercise.

In fact, our lifestyle, our environment, our mindset equate to over half of that equation. So it's time to start talking about it and today we're doing just that.

Today's podcast is with expert Dr. Hannah Anderson. We dive into everyday items that could be destroying your hormones. It's not something to fear but something to take action on because in most cases we still have control.

#075: 7 Facts Every Woman Needs To Know About Menopause Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

Today we're digging into menopause. On the podcast, we have a menopause expert and here in the post 7 facts, every woman needs to know about menopause.

The truth comes out.

Speaking of truth, I've learned, there isn't a lot of solid information on menopause. Instead, it tends to be this looming phase of life that nearly everyone dreads and few talk about, aside from the table talk complaints of the latest annoying symptoms it's pestering women with.

Today I hope to uncover that with guest expert Cynthia Thurlow who breaks down menopause. I'll be asking her what menopause actually is if we have to suffer from symptoms, how to treat it naturally, the prevention methods younger woman should start taking now and her thoughts on hormone replacement therapy.

We really dig it all up into one thought-provoking and insightful podcast I know is going to revolutionize how you think about menopause.

#074: What Women Should Know About Their Hormones Feb 26, 2018

Show notes

Humans are fascinating, well life in general is. Every day I marvel at the intricacy of life itself and that is no different than the human body.

What is even more amazing is that by structure we are all nearly the exact same and yet when we look closer we are incredibly different. Just like a snowflake, there are no two humans that are exactly alike.

Given this, I've always wondered why scientifically speaking and nutritionally speaking we've always been given the same recommendations. We are told we need the same amount of water, the same ratio of food groups, the same type of exercise, etc.

Even looking at most clinical research studies, we see that in nearly every study it is dominated by men in a near 3:1 ratio.

And we wonder why woman have a hard time seeing results, feeling better and healing?

This could be the answers.

So today in this Friday Five in Five I wanted to give five stand-out points that make men different from women and what to do about it.
