Estrogeneration: Artificial Estrogens & Why They Are Dangerous w/ Dr. Anthony G. Jay
25/09/2018 Duration: 01h03minFrom BPA, to birth control and red food coloring, we’re being constantly assaulted by artificial estrogens— and the effects on our population are catastrophic. Why makes them such dangerous, silent poisons? What are some of the most common sources? How can we make things better? On this episode, I am joined by Anthony G Jay, the author of the amazing book, Estrogeneration. We discuss just how bad this issue is and share what we can all do to protect our health. America is not beyond fixing. We just have to make these chemicals illegal. -Dr. Anthony G. Jay Three Takeaways Male feminization is happening, but it’s so politically charged that doctors are scared to talk about it. Testosterone and estrogen go all the way into the DNA and act on it directly. This is why these hormones are so potent and have so many effects. The most common sources of artificial estrogens are parabens, phthalates, BPA, birth control, red food coloring, and atrazine. At the start of the show, Anthony shared his story and how he go

How Quality Sleep and a Quality Bed Affect Weight, Mood, and Body Alignment w/Samuel Smith
18/09/2018 Duration: 38minA chronic lack of sleep leads to many biological system breakdowns and difficulties, but so few people prioritize getting a good night’s sleep. What role does our mattress play in the quality of sleep we get? What other factors affect our sleep? How can we avoid shortening the life span of our mattresses? On this episode, mattress and sleep expert Samuel Smith joins me to talk about the importance of paying attention to sleep, and why we need to be mindful of the quality of bed we sleep in. When your body isn’t getting enough sleep, it’s going to make up for the lack of sleep in other ways. The simplest way to do it is to store calories. -Samuel Smith Three Takeaways Our quality of sleep is affected by several factors including heat, pressure, movement, and pinch points. Light and sound are the two biggest ones. The light from your electronic device tells your brain the sun’s up, but we’re not designed to be nocturnal. When we’re sleeping, we want to be in a straight line. Over time, beds start to di

The TOT Doctors Roundtable: The Truth On Toxic Masculinity, Epigenetics & Men's Health
13/09/2018 Duration: 01h20minThe mainstream media has a lid on this subject of therapeutic testosterone and how great it is. What are the factors causing this ignorance and demonization of TOT? How has the era of toxic masculinity impacted this? What is causing the epigenetic shifts we’re seeing? And the biggest question of all - is it being done on purpose? On this episode, I talk to Dr. Jim Meehan, Dr. John Crisler and Dr. Merrill Matschke about these very important and very urgent issues in our society. We’re going to a cliff and our hope is those of us who have elevated ourselves to understand what’s really happening at a biological level. Without that, we’re going to get left behind. -Dr. Merrill Matschke Three Takeaways The reasons for the demonization of testosterone range from fear and stupidity to corporate greed and biased studies. Mainstream media is on a warpath against masculinity and it has permeated all the literature, putting testosterone in a bad light. Men with low sperm count have a high incidence of cancer and car

Metabolic Blowtorch Diet: The Benefits of Fasting for Longer Periods w/Daniel Kelly
11/09/2018 Duration: 28minThere is a lot of confusion about fasting. Most of the "gurus" are talking about windows of fasting that are between 12 and 16 hours, but these windows are ineffective. Why don’t we get anything out of fasting for that long? Why is it so important to eat on our training days? Why does the real magic happen after the 20th+ hour of fasting? On this episode, Daniel Kelly and I dispel some of the biggest myths about intermittent fasting, and share how the Metabolic Blowtorch Diet teaches a more effective fasting method. If you can fast for 30 hours, 3-4 days a week over a 2-4 week period, you will drastically change your body composition, and you won’t lose muscle. -Jay Campbell Takeaways from this Episode Eat on your training days. You want to put as much energy and effort into training as possible so your fasting can work well. For max fat loss, you want to add a second cardio session at the peak point of your fast. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) the one of the biggest benefits of fasting. It o

The TOT Doctors Roundtable: The Real Reason Testosterone is Demonized
06/09/2018 Duration: 01h22minBehind Big Pharma not making any money from testosterone is an even more sinister reason for the demonization of testosterone. What do the “powers that be” get from keeping us docile and unhealthy? What downstream effects of birth control and environmental toxins are we seeing today? What is the weapon of mass control nowadays? On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jim Meehan, Dr. Rob Kominiarek and Dr. Crisler to answer these questions. Let’s build an army of men that are a threat to these institutionalized elitists who are out to weaken us and turn us into addicted consumers. -Dr. Jim Meehan Three Takeaways The system is out to make money out of us and the less optimized and healthy we are, the more money they can drain out of us. Our lives were perfectly crafted for medical expense. Our only response is optimization and staying out of the sick care model. One generation’s exposure to environmental toxins can change 5 generations of children. At the start of the show, we talked about a recent article that

Healing the Divine Masculine & Freeing the Body, Mind & Soul w/Dr. David Kamnitzer
04/09/2018 Duration: 01h11minOur culture does not acknowledge the importance of the mind, body, and soul connection. Why is this causing a lot of harm to our society? How do we start to heal the masculine and bring it in alignment with the universe? When it feels like your mind, soul and body are in disconnect, how do you find that missing link? On this episode I am joined by physician and podcaster Dr. David Kamnitzer, to have a high-conscious conversation about shifting our paradigm and being our best selves. The soul and mind affect the body, and the condition of the body affects the mind and the soul. -Dr. David Kamnitzer Takeaways from this Episode A doctor who is open-minded and consciously aware wants an informed patient. They want a patient who has done their own homework. When you’re dealing with hormones, you’re dealing with a deep level of that person’s whole incarnational expression, and you must have a multi-dimensional sensitivity. A lot of people still believe that testosterone is steroids, and therefore a

On this episode, Dr. Carlos Rivas talks about his work, and how we reach the pinnacle of the human experience.

The Real Reason Behind the Demonization of Anabolic Steroids w/Rick Collins
21/08/2018 Duration: 52minSince 1990, anabolic steroids have been classified as a controlled substance even though there’s a lot of data showing that they are actually beneficial. What drove lawmakers to clamp down on steroids? What problems have been created by the prohibitionist approach taken by the government? Why is therapeutic testosterone demonized by the media? On this episode, the foremost legal authority in the area of dietary supplements, fitness law and anabolic steroids, Rick Collins, joins me to discuss the truth behind the so-called risks of testosterone. When you take a prohibitionist policy to a behavior, if there’s still going to be demand for that, there’ll be an alternative supply. -Rick Collins Three Takeaways Calling it the Anabolic Steroid Control Act ironically took away the government’s control over the quality of the products. Now we have non-FDA produced substances, and use has been driven underground and away from doctors-- which is dangerous. There is a belief that using an anabolic steroid, or even te

14/08/2018 Duration: 01h11minThere is no shortcut to the perfect physique, you have to be willing to put in the work. What type of mindset is required to build a great body? Why are shortcuts like steroids so dangerous? Why is the millennial mindset so counterproductive to growth? On this episode, Daniel Kelly and I talk with Dominic who shares on his journey with testosterone, and we talk about the long-term strategy for building a great body. Muscle is the greatest deterrent to aging because it’s the biggest resistor of disease. -Jay Campbell Three Takeaways It's not about weight-- it's about composition. When you have more muscle than fat, you are more resistant to aging. You want to find a workout program that hits all the energy systems, minimizes your time in the gym, and avoids injury. If you want to build an amazing physique, understand that it’s going to take time. At the start of the show, we talked about what it takes to build a great physique. Next, we talked about why building muscle is is important, and how to train i

The TOT Doctors Roundtable: The Value of Forums & Causes of the Massive Decline in Fertility
09/08/2018 Duration: 01h30minFrom fertility rates and metabolic health, to pornography and blue light addiction, society’s health is at a crisis level in many ways. What is causing some of these issues, and how can we as parents help our children avoid these things? Where do forums fit into educating the public about optimization? On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Rob Kominiarek, Dr. Jim Meehan, Dr. John Crisler, Dr. Merrill Matschke, and Dr. Keith Nichols to discuss these and other topics. The blinders of traditional medicine do not come down until someone has really pulled on them hard for a long time. -Dr. Merrill Matschke Three Takeaways Forums are both good and bad. They are doing a lot better than the broken medical system to educate people, but they are also where a lot of incorrect ideas and damaging beliefs are spread. One of the biggest things about being a good doctor and scientist is not thinking you’re the “be-all, end-all” of medicine, and accepting that the data is always changing. Our youth becoming addicted to porn

Holistic & Functional Medicine Concepts and The Zone of Dysfunction w/Dr. Louis Esquivel
07/08/2018 Duration: 39minPeople have been led to believe popping a pill is enough to solve any health problem, but this does more harm than good in the long-term. What are the merits of functional and holistic medicine when it comes to treating the root causes of disease? How can doctors get through to someone who is reluctant to get the help they need? Why is diet such a key point of cutting down inflammation? On this episode, Dr. Louis Esquivel draws on 3 decades of medical experience to share on why we should be adopting a more functional and holistic approach to our health. Three Takeaways A lot of drugs that physicians are prescribing to mask symptoms or “control” certain issues are actually doing something worse downstream. The things that will keep us healthy and optimized often take more time and planning than the easy route of popping a pill-- but it’s worth it. The fundamental basis of a lot of problems is inflammation, and diet can make a tremendous difference. At the start of the show, Dr. Louis shares h

On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jim Meehan and Dr. Jim Nichols to go deep on optimization, spirituality, and finding meaning in life. I see a lot of things in life as spiritual warfare. We’re constantly under attack. -Dr. Jim Meehan Three Takeaways It’s critical to look at the nutritive support processes that reinforce hormone replacement.

Getting your key genetic markers measured is one of the best steps you can take towards better health. At the start of the show, Jim shared what he learned from a recent conference about peptides. Next, we talked

How is stress affecting our health in a major way? On this episode, Dr. Paul Thompson shares some of the factors affecting our endocrine health.

The TOT Roundtable: Delivery Systems, Funded Studies & The Question of Side Effects
26/07/2018 Duration: 01h24minSo many people are still confused about the benefits and side effects of testosterone optimization. What causes this misinformation and uncertainty? Are there any side effects when Therapeutic Testosterone is administered correctly? Why are so many people are concerned with the long term risk of using Testosterone? Join Dr. Merrill Matschke, Dr. Jim Meehan, Dr. Robert Kominiarek, Dr. Eric J. Fete, and myself as we discuss why decades of evidence go ignored. We get real about side effects and compare & contrast optimizing vs. not using testosterone. The resistance to optimization nowadays is because of the improper ways it was done in the past. -Dr. Eric Fete Three Takeaways The subcutaneous injection delivery system: less peaks and valleys, and increase of psycho-sexual function. There’s no such thing as being on testosterone without taking other supplements and hormones. We can’t trust most funded studies because the benefactors always have their own agendas, which have nothing to do with what’s good

Testosterone Resistance and the Importance of Treating by Symptom Not Numbers w/Dr. Keith Nichols
24/07/2018 Duration: 01h02sThe biggest issue in hormone replacement therapy is that doctors are too lab-focused instead of patient-focused. How does this lead the medical community to overlook testosterone resistance? What are the different levels at which testosterone resistance occurs? What does “optimal” actually mean? On this episode, Dr. Keith Nichols talks about nuances of optimization that often get ignored. Three Takeaways Aging significantly affects our organs which leads to decreased tissue responsiveness. This impacts the metabolism of testosterone at a cellular level. We need to stop treating for a number and start treating for symptoms. With injectables, the best delivery method is daily. It’s best for mimicking endogenous release. Second best is every other day, and third best is two injections 3 times a week. At the start of the show, Dr. Keith shared how his work in hormone optimization started with his own personal experience. Next we talked about the history of how the medical community went from being p

How to Empower Men & Women in Relationships w/Dr. Taylor Burrowes & Monica Campbell
17/07/2018 Duration: 01h02minIn today’s culture, being a woman and owning your femininity isn’t really popular but that’s what’s destroying relationships. What is the real reason behind the masculinization of women? How can we improve our relationships and reduce the alarming divorce rates? How can we use marital therapy to improve things for both women and men? On this episode, therapist Dr. Taylor Burrowes shares on some of the factors affecting relationships and how we can address them. Three Takeaways Personality is our default, it’s where we’re most comfortable but it can be changed through skill building. We were born to be natural healers but tech has gotten more people out of tune with themselves, lazier, and looking outside ourselves for solutions. A lot of strong women have masculinized themselves but they want a man to make them feel feminine but they end up attracting betas. This causes chaos in relationships. At the start of the show, Dr. Burrowes shares what she does, who she helps and the root of so many people qu

The Link Between Hormones and Eye Health & Improving Our Eye-Brain Connection w/Dr. Sam Berne
10/07/2018 Duration: 41minGood eye health goes way beyond eating carrots, and we have to pay attention to it. Is there any connection between metabolic imbalances and eye issues? How does this affect a diabetic person? Can eye issues be prevented, or even reversed? On this episode, Dr. Sam Berne shares how he solves countless eye issues and why it’s possible to actually do so, even when a condition is genetic. Three Takeaways For better eye health, your diet has to include colorful fruits and vegetables, trace mineral and antioxidants. If we can oxygenate and hydrate the retina better through nutrition, we could start to solve a lot of eye issues experienced by diabetics. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are key antioxidants that prevent issues with macular health. The best ratio of the two is 10 mg of Lutein per 6mg of Zeaxanthin. At the start of the show, Dr. Sam shares how he got started focusing on eye health and how he cured his own eye issues. We also talked about what makes up an eye-healthy diet, and some of the biggest myths in

The Myth of Testosterone Addiction w/Daniel Kelly
03/07/2018 Duration: 40minRecently a website called testosteroneaddiction.com has sprung up, and it’s important that we speak on it. Why are the website’s claims incorrect? Where does this misunderstanding and miscommunication about testosterone come from? What can we do to fix it? On this episode, we dispel the myth that testosterone is addictive and bad. There are so many young men with low testosterone and estrogen dominance-- and they don’t even know it. -Daniel Kelly Three Takeaways The negative view of testosterone comes from mainstream the media pushing fear and paranoia. A very small set of men who get treated will experience anxiety, but the vast majority of them don’t. Unfortunately the ones who do make it seem like everyone is having those difficulties. Too many guys have been screwed over by doctors who don’t know what they are doing, and this also creates a bad view of testosterone therapy. At the start of the show, we talked about why the idea of testosterone being addictive is so incorrect, and what’s actually ca

If we could take a preventative approach to medicine, people could live healthier and lessen medical costs. At the start of the show, Dr. Nichols shared on testosterone resistance theory and how it’s overlooked in the media. We talked about the importance

The Long-Term Risks for Obese Children & What Parents Can Do About It w/ Mike Ritter
26/06/2018 Duration: 01h04minObesity in children is no longer a rare occurrence. Technology has made it easier for children to play and communicate without leaving the house. What are the long-term consequences of consuming too much junk food and lacking exercise? What role do parents play in this? How can it be fixed without making your children feel frustrated? In this episode, Mike Ritter speaks about the hormonal mutations that appear in obese children over time and what can parents do about it. If your child is living in your home and they are obese, you are guilty as a parent. -Jay Campbell Three Takeaways Traditional medicine is good when it comes to pathology, but it doesn’t have a holistic approach. It doesn’t delve deeper into what causes high blood sugar levels, or obesity. Children who are obese or who overeat tend to suffer later in their lives as well, since it can lead to hormonal disruptions and mutations. As a parent, it’s your duty to lead by example. Cook healthy meals and go outside at least an hour every day. I
