Trt Revolution Podcast

One of the most alarming statistics in professional bodybuilding is that a huge amount of athletes would shave years off their lives in order to win, and as a result they end up working with reckless and irresponsible doctors and trainers. What are the dangers of making such a decision? How has bodybuilding changed since the eighties? On this episode, I continue my conversation with bodybuilding legend, Dave Palumbo who talks about trends in the industry and how to get into great shape safely.   Takeaways + Tactics  The problem with bodybuilding today is that people are looking for shortcuts. They don’t want to do the work of training, eating and sticking to the basics.  People compete for a short time, then they want to be able to have kids, and live long. That’s why it’s so important that athletes take care of themselves.  Human beings respond to drugs differently, it’s about knowing your body.  At the start of the show, we talked about how bodybuilding has changed since Dave’s Palumbo. Next, we talked ab

For all the good technology has achieved for humanity, it has also made a negative impact on our society. For many people, gadgets and devices block consciousness and critical thought. How is the digital age contributing to more noise and confusion, instead of it being a way for us to achieve optimal health? What is the balance protocol and how can we use it to make better decisions in the face of so much information? On this episode, I’m joined by functional medicine physician and creator of the Balance Protocol, Dr. Anthony G. Beck. We discuss the perils of the digital age and how to separate the helpful information from the noise.   Takeaways + Tactics  People want to be entertained, so they get confused between information, knowledge and entertainment.  When people give us information, they should give you the inclusionary and exclusionary criteria, along with showing you how to measure and monitor it. Follow this formula: qualify, quantify, measure and monitor.  Scars are proof that we can heal, not th

Erectile Dysfunction is a major worldwide problem that’s starting to affect younger men, and the sick care model’s fix is just not good enough. What is L.I.S.T and why is it a more powerful solution for ED? What are the biggest barriers that get in the way of men getting their ED treated? What is the Rocket and why is it a powerful solution for ED? On this episode, I’m joined by Dustin Wolff. He is a bio-hacking guru, Regenerative Medicine practitioner and co-founder of The Rocket, a revolutionary ED device. He shares on the work he does and how the Rocket will help thousands of men get their sex lives back on track.   Takeaways + Tactics  L.I.S.T employs a sonic wave that penetrates the soft tissue, which pushes blood flow to the area in order to repair it. One of the major causes of ED is a build-up of plaque in the penis’ blood vessels. Shock wave therapy clears this plaque and renews these blood vessels.  The three reasons men don’t get treated for ED is affordability, accessibility and embarrassment. T

Human beings are not only plagued by the non-stop war against our biological systems, but we are also dealing with fear, low self-esteem, loneliness and other negative emotions. Why is this negative stuff just as dangerous to our health as the biological issues? Why are the emotional effects of Erectile Dysfunction? What is the underlying root ideology of fear and how do we overcome it? On this episode, I talk to Michael Bertonatti, wellness specialist and clinical director of Miami’s number 1 optimization clinic, The Medical Health Institute. He shares on optimizing ourselves beyond the physical.    Takeaways + Tactics  When we internalize our stress and low self-esteem issues, it starts to affect us biochemically.  If we give our bodies what they need, they would never break down. When we optimize our metabolic, neurological pathways, our bodies won’t be set up to get sick.  Identifying, connecting and surrendering to God can have a profound impact on us, how we feel about ourselves and navigating this wo

When it comes to physical and even mental health, our society is more focused on the problem, instead of solving the dysfunction. How is this approach causing more harm than good? Why is the chiropractic so important to our overall health and wellness? What are the pillars of mental toughness? On this episode, I talk to insightful chiropractor, coach and restaurateur, Dr. Ralph Napolitano, who shares on pain, dysfunction, what’s wrong with the system, and how we can avoid getting overcome by it.   Takeaways + Tactics  Once your skeletal system has a dysfunction, your health will start to deteriorate and degenerate, which leads to other problems including digestive issues.  The digestive system makes up half of our nervous system, and if we don’t eat well it will affect many aspects of our health.  Mental toughness is all about mindset mastery, accurate thought, confidence and magnetic influence.    At the start of the show, Dr. Ralph shares how he got to where he is today, and why so many people in the gym

In order to be optimized in today’s environment, taking supplements is key, and one of the most powerful supplements we can take is C60. How was C60 developed, and what is the science behind why it works? How does C60 optimize and improve our health? On this episode, C60 Purple Power CEO, Ken Swartz, shares on why C60 is the miracle super-oxidant we need to be optimized.   Takeaways + Tactics  C60 is a carbon molecule made up of 60 carbon atoms. When testing the new molecule, scientists discovered that it doubled the lifespan of animals.  In humans, C60 increases visual acuity and fat loss, improves libido, athletic performance and endurance. It’s even been known to make stem cells younger.  Take C60 in the morning because it’s a stimulant.    At the start of the episode, Ken shared on how he got started with C60 and the story of its development, and the testing methods and tools that were used. We also talked about why it’s only now being used in humans. We also talked about how the molecule supercharges t

Each year, more and more Americans are diagnosed with Lyme Disease, and the numbers are expected to keep going up. What is the connection between our highly toxic environments and the condition? Why does treatment have to go beyond just killing the parasites? What are the other factors leading to the rise of Lyme Disease in our population? Why are our internal drainage pathways so vital in treating the disease? On this episode, I’m joined by prominent functional medicine physician, clinician, bestselling author and speaker, Dr. Jay Davidson. He shares on his mission to help cure Lyme disease, and what we can do to eliminate pathogens and detox our bodies.   Takeaways + Tactics  Emotional trauma is as much a health risk factor as our environment, the food we eat and how well we take care of our bodies.  When it comes to treating disease, we shouldn’t just focus on the diagnosis, or how our DNA caused it. There’s always an environmental or habit-based source of the illness.  Drainage is extremely important in l

Optimization for men is imperative in this environmentally toxic world. What are the key supplements an optimization-minded man should be taking? How can erectile dysfunction get addressed? How can men get rid of fat? On this episode, Dr. Jeffrey Ruterbusch shares on optimization tips and hacks, and his experience doing medicine all over the world.   Takeaways + Tactics  When it comes to natural testosterone boosters, none of them show anything beyond transient elevation. If we train first thing in the morning on an empty stomach when our glucagon levels are the highest, and take hydroxycitric acid and l-carnitine, we’ll get chiseled  Tesofensine is phenomenal for weight loss.    At the start of the show, Dr. Jeffrey shared how he got started, and how optimization supplements have changed over the decades. Next, we talked about whether natural testosterone boosters work, and why you should train when your glucagon levels are high. We also discussed why Metformin is so powerful.    We also discussed;  Erectil

C60 is one of the most powerful optimization supplements on earth. The only challenge is, there are a lot of fraudsters claiming to sell the real thing when they aren’t. Why is this such a problem in the world of supplements? How can we identify reputable sources and sellers so we don’t waste our money? What are the benefits of C60? On this episode, SES Research co-founder and C60 expert, Chris Burres shares why C60 is a key optimization supplement and where to buy it.  Four Takeaways  Genuine C60 should dissolve and turn purple when you put it in into sunflower seed oil.  Most scientific studies are done with the intention to come to a specific conclusion, which is the opposite of science.  Because people aren’t protecting themselves from blue screens and devices, we don’t get into restorative, deep, polyphasic sleep, which is where we release growth hormone.  If you’re looking for legitimate sellers of C60, don’t buyer from a company that only sells on Amazon, and has no website or physical address. When y

When it comes to life extension and optimization, peptides are a game changer. How do peptides work and why are they crucial to healing and cell regeneration? How can we reconcile what we know now about cell biology and how we attack disease and aging? What are the best peptides to use and how can we optimize our peptide use? On this episode, I’m honored to be joined by orthopedic surgeon, leading sports medicine physician, and game-changing performance optimizing master-mind, Dr. William Seeds. He shares powerful insights on the peptide revolution and how they are changing the face of medicine.   Four Takeaways  Aging is the #1 risk factor in health. When a cell deteriorates and fails to start the process of autophagy, it goes into senescence. Peptides can interrupt this process.  The immune system is paramount. Many health process breakdowns are caused by a problem in the immune system.  From age 30, there’s a slow down in the production of growth hormone and IGF.  Exposing the brain and the body to constan

When it comes to building muscle and gains, many people won’t tell you what it’s like to be so big that you break car seats. How does weighing 315 pounds impact sleep, clothing, and body temperature? What are some of the other unforeseen challenges that come with being a massive bodybuilder? On this episode, I continue my conversation with legendary bodybuilder, and CEO and Founder of RxMuscle.com, Dave Palumbo, who talks about what it felt like being a 315-pound ripped bodybuilder, and how going through challenging legal issues led him to find his purpose.​

When it comes to building muscle, many people fail to achieve results because of incorrect form, and they fail to learn the biochemical techniques of bodybuilding. What are some of the key ways to make sure you’re achieving peak performance? What does it take to transform your body significantly? How can we make sure we’re activating our muscles at the right level? On this episode, I’m joined by professional bodybuilder, and CEO and Founder of RxMuscle.com, Dave Palumbo, who shares how he became a 315-pound ripped bodybuilder.   Three Takeaways  If you eat a lot of food without creating the stimulus for muscle building, you can take all the drugs in the world but it won’t do anything. Squat, bench and row: if you learn to do these things well, you will build muscle.  Poke the muscle you’re supposed to be working so that you can have mind-muscle connection.   At the start of the show, Dave shared how he got started, and how he made the switch from lean runner, to a world-class bodybuilder. Next, we talked abou

The human body has its own inflammation signalling system that we can optimize in order to heal ourselves. Why does the sick care system’s way of dealing with inflammation actually destroy this system? How does regenerative medicine work? What are the different types of regenerative tools and which ones are best? On this episode, I’m joined by Buckeye Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation founder, Dr. Roy “Buzz” Korth, who shares on the approaches of regenerative medicine and how they can be employed to heal the body.    Three Takeaways  Testosterone deficiency has more to do with stress levels than age nowadays.  Through inflammation, the body begins a process of healing itself through stem cells and growth factors. When people take pain medication, they get rid of the pain, but they also stop the process of healing.  Stem cells need oxygen to release growth factors. The areas that degenerate are tendons, ligaments and joints and that’s because after puberty, those areas don’t get circulation.   At the star

One of the biggest crises in health right now is the low levels of sperm count and fertility in young men, and the question of what the clinical community can do about it. Why are we experiencing such a decline in the reproductive potential of men who should be in their prime? Does testosterone therapy need to be at super-therapeutic levels all the time? How can men on testosterone therapy still maintain their fertility? On this episode, I’m joined by the Director of Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery at the University of Miami, Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, who talks about how to improve the reproductive health of men.  Four Takeaways  The reasons we’re experiencing low sperm count in young men are obesity, environmental influences, stress, and social media.  Short-acting testosterone is better for fertility and reproductive potential because it mimics the body’s natural pulsativity.  The reason testosterone therapy affects fertility and blocks metagenesis is because if it’s used over a long term, it blocks FSH

The rise and prevalence of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders is alarming, and the healthcare industry is doing nothing about it. Why is Big Pharma letting this crisis worsen? What nutritional solutions can we put in place to start solving this issue? On this episode I’m joined by Dr. John Lewis, the Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Founder of Nurish.Me, to talk about the products his company develops and how they are helping people regain cognitive functioning.   Three Takeaways Whatever diet program you opt for, eating greens, nuts and seeds is critical. People have been conditioned to think everything is a genetic predisposition, but there’s a big difference between bad genes and the result of bad food choices.   Not all sugar is bad for you. Polysaccharides enhance, modulate and improve our immune system functioning. They can be found in rice bran, wild Mexican yam, and aloe vera. You can also get them through dietary supplementation.   At the start of the show, Dr. Lewis talked about the

Exposure to healthy light is one of the most underestimated therapies in our mission to become optimized. Why is red light therapy one of the most effective ways to get this treatment, and what are the mechanisms that make it work so well? How can we make sure we’re using the right kind of devices for red light therapy? On this episode I’m joined by Scott Nelson, the founder of light therapy company called Joovv. He shares how their devices work, their benefits, and why light therapy is so beneficial. Healthy wavelengths of light in the right dosages are incredibly beneficial for our health in so many areas. -Scott Nelson   Three Takeaways Our lifestyles don’t lend themselves to exposure to healthy light, and this is doing a huge disservice to our health. When choosing a red light therapy device, make sure the device delivers the clinically proven wave length, which falls into the therapeutic window. For visible red light, the range should be in the mid-600 nanometers. For invisible near infrared, the range

The greatest barrier to optimization isn’t just the structures of the healthcare industry, but also the attitudes and mindsets so many people have towards it. Why is it dangerous to be so dogmatic about how healthcare should work? What are some of the things we need to align in order to be healthier? What are some of the challenges doctors face as they switch from the traditional healthcare system to optimization? On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Bonner who shares how he left the sick care system and why he isn’t looking back.   Four Takeaways If you’re dogmatic about medicine and sticking to the traditional system, you’ll get left behind and lose your health in the process.   The information taught in the traditional study of medicine is very different from what doctors need to learn in optimization. Everything that’s wrong with healthcare goes back to Big Pharma. They want men on ED medication and SSRIs so they can make more money.  Screens destroy your optic nerve, and rewires your dopaminergic pathway

People are constantly encouraged to lift weights, but often the methods and equipment they use fail to change their physique and even cause injury. What is at the root of inefficient weight lifting that plagues so many workouts? How can you get your central nervous system to help you build muscle? What is the X3 Bar, and why it is the secret to growing muscle and reducing joint pain? On this episode, I’m joined by author, entrepreneur and founder of the X3 Bar, Dr. John Jaquish, who shares how his invention is making a real impact in helping people grow stronger. Being strong and lean are the two biggest determinants of long life. -Dr. John Jaquish   Three Takeaways You don’t just go to the gym to lift weights. You go to contract muscle fibers to build up your muscles and bone density. A lot of the soreness people experience after lifting isn’t caused by lactic acid. It’s just joint damage, which doesn’t do anything for your muscles. Think of the central nervous system as an engineering team of deaf and b

Everybody in the health world talks about the importance of protein, but it still remains grossly misunderstood. What is amino acid utilization, and what does it mean for us? What are the best foods for amino acid utilization? What happens when you don't get enough essential amino acids as it relates to protein turnover, healing, anabolism effect with training? On this episode, I’m joined by legendary physician, author and founder of LifeWorks Medical Center, BodyHealth, and PerfectAmino, Dr. David Minkoff, who shares the truth about protein we all should know about.   We need healthy food and supplements so we can change the trend of society and the planet to save us from extinction. -Dr. David Minkoff   Three Takeaways Different foods have different levels of amino acids and usability. Whole eggs are the best while whey and soy are really low in amino acids, and don’t move the needle. When you eat whey protein, the body can’t use the amino acid so it takes off the nitrogen you’re just left with a carb.

One of the biggest issues in the nutrition conversation is that people are misinformed about what helps and what hurts their bodies. Why is it dangerous for us to be too restrictive in what we eat? How can we avoid thyroid deficiencies? Why is it so important to dial-in our sleep? On this episode, I’m honored to be joined by professional bodybuilder and Vertical Diet founder, Stan Efferding, who talks about the health issues many mainstream diets cause and how his diet rectifies them. Optimization is the collaboration between sleep, hydration, nutrition, and training; but sleep is the mothership. -Stan Efferding     Three Takeaways Many diets that women adopt are terrible for their biological systems. By only eating egg whites, you diminish biotin. If you cut out red meat, you lose iron. If you limit dairy, you diminish calcium. You have to be able to fuel your body relative to its energy demands, not just focusing on macronutrients. When you take salt out of your diet and then sweat out the salt you have
