One in four people have anxiety, and millions across the world are battling with depression. What is one of the simplest solutions to this problem, and why isn’t it discussed? How can parents help children who are “riding the dragon” of anxiety and depression? What supplements and minerals are helpful to people suffering from mood disorders? On this episode, Dr. Rob talks about how we can solve the anxiety and depression epidemic we are facing. "There’s such a strong connection between low thyroid, low testosterone, low estrogen, low DHEA, low pregnenolone and anxiety and depression. It’s really remiss of a health practitioner to not look at these things." - Dr Rob Kominiarek Three Takeaways - If you’re suffering from anxiety, depression, or PTSD, you really need to have your hormones comprehensively examined. - Neurotoxins like alcohol and drugs damage the intimate structures of the brain. - Taking magnesium and zinc before bedtime will do a great job of alleviating anxiety and blockading NMDA receptors. A

Medicine is in a bad place right now, and the only way it can change is if a huge disruption takes place. What will the disruption entail? Why are so many people suffering from addiction and escapism? What are the keys to being optimized? On this episode, Dr. Michael Sagner goes deep on these insights in a high-level conversation.   Three Takeaways Everything in health is connected. Medicine has to be preventive, predictive, personalized, and participatory. We have to leverage medical intervention, technology, and science, and make it available for people who want to be healthy.   At the start of the show, Dr. Sagner shares what he sees as the future of medicine, and why medicine as we know it today is going to crumble. We also discussed increasing lifespan, healthspan and performance. We also discussed: The state of global health How so many people are living to escape How Hollywood manipulates us There’s nothing left for the current model of healthcare and medicine besides a huge disruption and crash. T

So many men fixate on their testosterone numbers, but why is that a bad idea? Are you getting the correct test to measure your estrogen levels? What should you know about cholesterol? On this episode, we discuss how to understand certain biomarkers in a blood panel. "It’s more important that you feel good and have no side effects than it is to have a specific number." -Jay Campbell Three Takeaways - It’s important to understand the oxygenation of your red blood cells. - If you have a level of above 200 in cholesterol, make sure that you are: exercising, trying to suppress your insulin sign, and doing cardio and resistance training before you even consider going on statins. - Estrogen is still necessary for some key functions, and you can only consider suppression when you have side effects AND the correct test for it. At the start of the show we talked about the importance of measuring White Blood Cells and Red Blood Cells, hemoglobin and hematocrit. We talked about why keeping close track of your insulin i

A gaming addict has a quality of life score of 3 out of 10, and this is causing a huge crisis in our society. What is the root of video game addiction? What are the three ways video games wreak havoc on the brain? What can parents do to save their children? On this episode, Game Quitters founder and speaker, Cam Adair, shares his own story and explains how we can help our children live healthier and happier lives.   Three Takeaways A lot of young men feel rejected, and they don’t have the tools and resources to deal with it. In response, they just escape into games. It has been proven that there’s a 2x improvement to quality of life just after 90 days of detoxing from gaming. People who are able to focus more on delayed gratification are more successful in life. Fulfillment comes from engagement. It comes from being a creator, not a consumer.   At the start of the show, Cam shared on his story and experience recovering from video game addiction, as well as how rejection can lead young men to turn to video g

Imbalances in the microbiota usually lead to inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and an array of unpleasant symptoms. How do we prevent and treat it? Are there any risk factors? How is our gut linked to aging? In this episode Dr. Sajad "Dr. Z" Zalzala, owner of LDN direct and Root Cause Medical clinic, talks about gut health, autoimmune disease, and what we can do to improve our quality of life.   Three Takeaways Entrepreneurs and high-achievers who use stimulants such as high doses of coffee and Adderall are more likely to have a damaged microbiota. Metformin can help you cleanse a damaged microbiota, and it’s one of the safest drugs on the market. It’s been studied for over 60 years and is derived from French Lilac. The best way to activate anti-aging pathways is to give your stomach a break by following an intermittent fasting regimen.   In the beginning, we talked about how a damaged microbiota can lead to autoimmune diseases, and how stimulants and a bad diet contribute to it as well. Next, we talked a

We talk a lot about physical disruption, but we also need to talk about the mental disruption people are suffering. What is the problem with atheism, and why is it a symptom of a greater disease? Why is fear so prevalent in people today? Why are people so driven to escapism? On this episode, Jason Grey, Daniel Kelly, and I have a deep conversation about how we can cure the fear, skepticism, and general bad health gripping our society. It’s about pulling out of your situation, and having the awareness that there’s something more than just your situation. -Jason Grey Takeaways Believing in nothing will prevent you from ever going to a level of life where you will be happy, content, and able to gracefully serve others. Skeptics live by one thing only: fear. You can only manifest the consciousness to control yourself. If you live your life based on the fear of what could, should, or might happen, you’ll be controlled and suppressed by those fears. At the start of the show, we talked about just how much the men

One in three men today has erectile dysfunction, and we’re seeing an increase in younger men facing this problem. What is causing this major health issue? Why is sexual health an early indicator of cardiac issues? Why is Cialis a great solution for this problem, and when should a young man consider getting a script for it? On this episode, we talk about why prioritizing sexual function is so critical to our survival as a species.   Three Takeaways The explosion of men with ED is really tied to the obesity epidemic in our general population. The vascular tissue in the penis is an early warning system of changes of endothelial dysfunction Cialis has a long half-life, so you can take it everyday or every other day and benefit from it. As the bladder ages, it becomes less like a healthy rubber band and more like a old rubber band. Its compliance goes down, and it’s believed to be caused by a lack of blood flow.   At the start of the show, we talked about just how common ED has become in young men. We talked abo

Peptides aren’t just the new trendy thing in health. They are vital for addressing so many conditions and diseases. What are some of the many different health concerns it can be applied to? Why is selectivity so important if you’re using peptides in the long-term? What are the best peptides for building muscle? On this episode, we talk to VP of Business Development at Tailor Made Compounding, Ryan Smith, to go deep on peptides and their applications.   Three Takeaways The people who hold the money in the sick care model are not the doctors or the patients-- it’s third-party payers and insurance companies. The only people who benefit from SARMs are people selling it underground. Falstatin for human therapy is tricky because it hasn’t been thoroughly tested. Thymosin beta-4 and BPC are repair and recovery products that athletes should be able to use.   At the start, Ryan shared how he got started in the industry, and we talked about the problems with the sick care model. We then discussed the strengths and be

Climate change is one of the hot topics in the mass media at the moment, but nobody dares to take any action against  the estrogen in the water, pesticides, cosmetics, and plastics. Do you know how to look for estrogenic ingredients? Are you constantly using plastic containers and plastic bottles? How much do you stay in front of your computer every day? In this episode, Tanei Ricks, a PhD of Bio-Organic Chemistry shares the shocking discoveries about the amount of estrogen we are bombarded with, as well as its effects. The estrogen is the environmental war that is waged on all of us. It doesn’t matter where you live. -Jay Campbell   Three Takeaways Estrogen is everywhere. It’s in our water, cosmetics, and even the soil. The result is a drop in fertility and a rise in endocrine diseases that lead to the masculinization of females and the feminization of males. When you take medication that mimics your body’s hormones, you stop producing it by yourself. When women stop taking the pills, their estrogen levels

Most people don’t see any real results from their ab workouts because they are training them incorrectly. What are the 3 planes of motion necessary for successful ab training? How does training while standing up change everything? In what ways is the fitness industry a sham? On this episode, physiotherapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Michael Griffith shares on our detrained sedentary culture, being a diabetic patient, and training your abs the right way. To get the most comprehensive workout, it helps to train all three planes of motion. -Michael Griffith   Takeaways Men don’t have functioning endocrine systems because of inactivity-- the lack of any real movement and exercise. For a lot of diabetics, the pain of not feeling good and the high from the insulin spiking is far greater than the joy of changing their lives and becoming healthy. Your abs move in all three planes of motion-- up and down, side to side, and rotationally. You have to train all 3 to get the most out of them. Tr

People’s hormones are a far cry from what they were 25 years ago. What are some of the factors causing this? How can we apply hormone therapy to help men and women gain confidence, and manage their weight and energy? What are the best peptides for men and women? On this episode, I talk to one of the biggest pioneers in the hormone optimization space, Dr. Uzzi Reiss. Estrogen is the beginning of the symphony. -Dr. Uzzi Reiss   Three Takeaways A lot of people on treatment don’t feel good because they aren’t getting enough hormones in the first place. Estrogen suppresses the breast cancer stem cell, while chemo and radiation increase breast cancer stem cell occurrence. To lose weight, your body needs energy. In menopause, women have less which makes it more likely that they’ll gain weight. Tesamorelin is very effective at breaking intra-abdominal fat   At the start of the show, we talked about how estrogen suppresses the breast cancer stem cell, and why menopausal women tend to gain weight. Next, we talked ab

The sick care system is so broken that men who need testosterone are living in fear and shame instead of getting the help they need. How do we fix this problem? How can we debunk the myth of over-the-counter testosterone boosters? On this episode, I talk to Dr. William Parker on optimization protocols for both men and women. There are peptides out there that offer amazing healing and restorative qualities. -Jay Campbell   Three Takeaways The disconnect with testosterone for most men is that you can’t get it reimbursed through insurance, and you have to go out of pocket. The best doctors are cash-only. Consider HCG only if you’re having ejaculate issues. Women who don’t have naturally high testosterone are much more imbalanced before and during menopause.   At the start of the show, Dr. William Parker shared how his work as a doctor bred an unhealthy lifestyle and how he turned it around. We discussed education, the use of HCG and who should and shouldn’t use it. We also discussed why so many men struggling

Few physicians understand how to optimize health, and people are suffering because of it. What is BodHD and BodMD, and how are they going to solve this problem? Why is it so important to get correct lab testing done? How do we integrate technology better with medicine? On this episode, Matt Ward and Dr. Jim Meehan share on their new platforms, BodHD and BodMD, and how it will empower people to take their health into their own hands. We can start to grow an ecosystem of excellence and optimization that just doesn’t exist today. -Dr. Jim Meehan   Three Takeaways BodHD/MD are blending medicine and referral-based marketing to build an army and culture of health. Elite athletes and people suffering from arthritic disease or autoimmune disease need a master antioxidant glutathione to mop up that tissue burning, destroying free radicals that lead to disease. You have to build from the foundation-up, starting with your hormones because that makes the most difference.   At the start of the show, Dr. Jim and Matt sh

A lot of doctors are shying away from the use of aromatase inhibitors, but this could be negatively affecting older men on testosterone. Why should a man in his 60s take an aromatase inhibitor? Why are anti-aging clinics doing more harm than good? Is Clomid something we would recommend? On this episode, Nelson Montana is here to talk about his experience and insights on testosterone optimization drawn from two decades of using it.   Dig in and understand what you’re reading. You’ll have a much stronger base from which to work. -Nelson Montana   Three Takeaways Few doctors have the experiential basis of knowledge that comes with long-term practice. There’s really no difference between taking 100mg and 200mg of testosterone, so why take 100mg more than you need? A person on Clomid only has elevated testosterone when they are on it. It also has a lot of negative side effects and increases estrogen. It’s actually just easier, cheaper, and better to use testosterone. The doctors who are using Clomid are afraid of

Because of the lack of struggle and scarcity in this high-tech world, it’s very hard for a younger person to identify their mission. Why does struggle go hand in hand with the discovery of your mission? How do you identify yours? What are some of the things that have shaped how we find our purpose? On this episode, boxer and author Ed Latimore talks about the journey to finding out what you’re put on this planet to do.   Your mission doesn’t just come to you. You chip away at it. -Ed Latimore   Three Takeaways Your life’s mission is where your talents can do the most because you’re motivated, passionate and you have a particular advantage. It can take years to master your craft, regardless of what it is, so you have to temper your enthusiasm. The lack of struggle and scarcity is the biggest problem for the millennials and younger generations. A lot of men today grow up without any form of masculine guidance, and it’s causing massive problems.   At the start of the show, we talked about how a lot of young me

We’re in a society that is weakening by the minute due to a major testosterone crisis. How is it destroying lives and families? What can be done to fight it and get our health back? How do you go about identifying whether you need optimization therapy? On this episode, I talk to the hosts of the Family Alpha Podcast about solving the serious problems being caused by testosterone deficiency. Testosterone is the Holy Grail molecule of not just men, but women too. -Jay Campbell   Three Takeaways The majority of guys only go to the doctor when they stop functioning sexually. Even then, the drugs they are given aren’t addressing the underlying issue. Obesity is so prevalent that it's lowering the standard mean deviation of total testosterone levels. When someone is clinically diagnosed with a deficiency, it’s more about a symptomatic diagnosis than a total testosterone measurement number.   At the start of the show, we talked about all the issues the testosterone deficit is causing in society and the alarming t

Even though it’s very apparent that humanity is under a tremendous threat to our health, there's no action plan for solving this problem or urgency in studies. Why is the sick care model failing us? What are the latest studies telling us? What are some food choices and unhealthy behaviors that are putting us at great risk of metabolic syndrome? On this episode, Dr. Merrill Matschke is back to share his thoughts on these issues.   Once you're in the funnel, you’re trapped unless you take hard measures to get out and change your life-- and that’s on you. -Jim Brown   Takeaways It’s important to look for those early inflammatory markers so people can be treated before they present symptoms. If someone is obese, has metabolic syndrome, and/or has a vascular disease, they are also going to have issues with fertility and testicular function. Low calorie nutritive sweetener is going to drive you to diabetes. It’s 300 times sweeter than sugar. Our genes can’t handle a synthetic sweetener made in a lab How we live ou

Few physicians in the hormone optimization space have firsthand experience with treatment, and use what they learned from textbooks instead. How is this harmful to patients? Why is hormone optimization useless without lifestyle optimization? What makes treatment customization so necessary? On this episode, we are joined by a doctor who is dedicated to studying and answering these questions, Dr. Frank Comstock. Lifestyle intervention can pay so many big dividends. People can start feeling better and get healthy. -Dr. Frank Comstock   Three Takeaways Your risk of health problems is going to be higher with deficient hormones. Treatment is not “one-size-fits-all”. It should always be customized to a person’s goals and biology. Call a pharmacy in your area and ask them about the physicians they utilize or recommend.   At the start of the show, we talked about how Dr. Frank got interested in hormone optimization for men and women, weight management, and nutritional supplementation. Next, we talked about realizing

Nutrition is very misunderstood, including within the physician and dietitian community. What are some of the biggest misconceptions people have about nitrate and red meat? What are the best oils to use in your cooking? How do nitrate and metformin improve the gut biome? On this episode, I have a fascinating discussion with nutrition expert, Morgan Pfiffner, about important facets of nutrition and health that people often miss. You cannot benefit from nitrate if you don’t have the bacteria in your mouth to metabolize it. -Morgan Pfiffner   Three Takeaways Endothelial dysfunction is a precursor to the various diseases of aging. You don’t have to eat nitrate-rich foods raw. It’s fairly stable-- you can cook with it and it won’t disintegrate. In order to get the true nutritional value of meat, it has to be rare or seared. If it’s overcooked its nutritional value from a protein bio-availability standpoint is nil.   At the start of the show, Morgan shared how he got into nutrition and how nutrition is one of mos

A lot of people think they can just go on TRT with no real reason for it. Why is it important to be sure there’s an actual need first? What factors can you control to reduce your risk of pituitary insult? What are the other options you can exhaust before considering TRT? On this episode, Dr. Rob Kominiarek joins us to talk about the importance of taking the decision to go on TRT very seriously. No hormone is going to overcome poor dietary habits and lack of exercise. -Dr. Rob Kominiarek   Three Takeaways People who use black market hormones mess up their Hypothalamic–pituitary axis, sometimes permanently. Decrease the amount of alcohol you consume, as it interferes with pituitary function.   At the start of the show, Dr. Rob shared what led him down the path of hormone optimization and age management. Next, we talked about some of the factors that cause pituitary insult and how to avoid them. We also talked about the importance of dialing everything else in before you go on TRT. We also discussed: The diff
