Trt Revolution Podcast

Why is iron responsible for so many diseases and health problems in men? What habits and factors make it hard for people to attain health and excellent physique? On this episode, Dennis Mangan goes deep on his book Dumping Iron, the dangers of excess body iron, and how to stay in the best shape and health in your 50s. The person who wants to stay in good health as they get older needs to put forth the effort to do things that are going to help them. - Dennis Mangan Three Takeaways Blood donation is the easiest and fastest way for men to get rid of excess iron. Having good cardiovascular conditioning is an important determinant of health, but it’s incomplete without strength training. If you want to lose weight in your 50s try intermittent fasting. Have a cup of coffee for breakfast, eat at noon and avoid carbs, especially after 6pm. At the start of the show Dennis gave us a background of his career, his research in chronic fatigue and how Rogue Health & Fitness got started. We also talked about the curr

With so many individuals battling depression, there’s a need for drastic action. Why do doctors favor anti-depressants over hormone therapy for treatment? Why is this approach flawed? On this episode, Dr. Mark Gordon and I go deep on interventional endocrinology, physician awareness and the significance of the growth hormone.   We think of testosterone as a reproductive hormone, but it also has a phenomenal effect on the inflammatory system. - Dr. Mark Gordon Three Takeaways If someone is on anti-depressants and they are still depressed, something else has to be off. Most doctors are trained in illness medicine but not in proactive, preemptive wellness medicine. The majority of physicians who are all about illness medicine have no pharmaceutical reps educating them about TRT. At the start of the episode, Dr. Gordon gave us a background of his career, and how he ended up taking an interest in interventional endocrinology. He also shared on the differences between wellness and illness medicine, and why so few

Testosterone deficiency is a common problem for a lot of men under 30. As a result, these individuals aren’t living up to their full potential, or experiencing fulfilling lives. Thanks to TRT, many have solved this problem and improved their quality of life. On this episode we talk to Daniel Kelly and Joshua Bakuhn, two men under 30 who have seen the benefits of TRT in their own lives. When you’re not actualizing your full potential, you’re not optimal. - Joshua Bakuhn Three Takeaways Most doctors don’t know anything about hormone replacement, be prepared to educate yourself. TRT makes you more driven and confident in general, and that flows through to your social life and dating. If you’re not producing testosterone in your 20s , it won’t get any better as you age. At the start of the episode, Daniel and Josh described their lives before TRT,  and how the treatment improved them. They also talked about the importance of educating themselves since most doctors don’t know about TRT. They went on to talk disc

What does reality mean to each of us, and what is the true purpose of enlightenment? On this episode, we discuss emotive mind power, consciousness, reality and the differences between ego and false ego. Guest Matt Belair tells us about his amazing life experiences, from meditating with monks to experiencing altered states. We’re all experiencing reality outside of a lens, it’s different and unique for all of us. -Matt Belair Three Takeaways The pain we witness and experience is a catalyst for us to do something good. The first and easiest altered state to get to is reached through lucid dreaming. The ego doesn’t know the difference between intuition, source and your brain. At the start of the show, Matt gave us a background of his experiences, travels and adventures. He also talked about lucid dreaming and direct experience, “if someone is trying to convince you of something that feels off, then they are just trying to prove to you through words, something that could be limiting.” We went on to talk about t

With Trump’s win, what changes can we expect in healthcare and what will the fate of Obamacare be under this new administration? On this episode, founder of CHEKD.COM, Dr Aaron Grossman shares his insights, and also talks about the attack on the nuclear family and masculinity. If you want to control groups of people, the most powerful force is the nuclear unit, it’s the polarization of masculine and feminine. - Dr. Aaron Grossman Three Takeaways With this election, there’s a light being shone on how intrinsically messed up the healthcare system is. How ever you feel is a qualitative aspect, but there’s a quantitative component to it. Everything is a binary. Media and fear always play a bigger role than what is actually happening in the world. At the start of the episode, we discussed the state of the country now that Donald Trump is president. We talked about how this will change the healthcare system, and how it can possibly shift things politically. “Everything is off the table, the layer has been peeled

What is the importance of mentors for young men? What stress does body building subject your physiology to? On this episode, I talk to my mentor and friend Jim Brown, and we answer these questions and also discuss nootropics and proprietary blends and the best way to build an excellent physique. The key to reaching your goals is having someone you listen to who has a way to make their program repeatable. They have to have a track record of it, and you need to listen to them person exclusively. -Jim Brown Three Takeaways Mentors are important for teenage boys. They are able to teach them about identity and becoming a man. Until you’ve mastered one thing, you can’t do anything else and expect to be successful. The mastery will give you the freedom to do the other things because you have the income. A great physique really isn’t made in the gym. You have to stimulate the whole cascade of muscle repair and the rest of the day determines your health. The eating part of it is really the trick. At the start of the

What are the challenges veterans are met with when it comes to dealing with TBIs? How is the current healthcare system getting it wrong, and what changes can we expect under a new administration? On this episode, Andrew Marr talks about this and the Warrior Angel Foundation. Doctors can get rid of inflammation and balance hormones, but if you continue to think unnerving thoughts that produce the same results, you’ve just made a feedback loop that is not going to improve itself. -Andrew Marr Three Takeaways TBIs are a two-phase injury firstly, the initial blunt force trauma or explosive blast, and secondly post traumatic neuro-inflammation. You have to be in a neuro-permissive environment for the brain and body to regenerate.  If you’re not in that environment, you’re in an environment of restriction and that’s the mother of all the problems we’re seeing. We can strengthen national security by keeping high performing individuals where they need to be. At the start of the show, we talked about Andrew’s backgr

We might be in the age of wisdom and information, but the internet and media is filled with deception and lies. Has this contributed to a global lack of awareness and a docile society? Is it GMO food, alcohol, lack of exercise or TV? Is it something far greater contributing the level of our vibrational states? On this episode we discuss this with host of The Leak Project, Rex Bear. The only way you’re going to pursue the path of illumination and get to universal consciousness is to eventually kill the ego. -Jay Campbell Three Takeaways A lot of times, people use religion as a form of mind control which traps the soul, the body and the mind in a perpetual duality and that’s not necessarily the truth. Question everything and take everything with a grain of salt. There are so many opposites on different levels that oftentimes it comes down to what’s in the middle, that central key point holds more truth. At the start of the show, we talked about religion and how it can be a form of mind control that can keep p

A lot of the work we do to stay fit and healthy has to do with exercise and diet, but what about the internal reactions caused by what we eat? On this episode of the TRT Revolution, Paul Burgess is back to go deeper on food intolerance, exogenous ketones and digestive health. Takeaways If someone goes onto a ketogenic diet and they react to one of the foods, they won’t adjust their thinking the way they are meant to. Too many people discount the value of certain foods because they have carbs in them, and then they suffer low fiber and low enzymes as a result. Acid reflux is a symptom of low stomach acid. Burning in your chest does not mean you have too much acid. Don’t take more fiber when you’re constipated, take magnesium citrate.   At the start of the show, we talked about supplements and so-called health trends. “Once people start bringing products to the market in the form of supplements and foods, you end up seeing a junk food train that is veiled in some kind of health scheme.” Next, we went into det

It’s a popular belief that men can naturally increase their testosterone by using methods like exercise and diet, which begs the question, is there a shortcut to increasing your testosterone? On this episode, we discuss this with writer and trainer Alexander Juan Antonio Cortes and also discuss politics and the future of America.    Three Takeaways Lifestyle adjustments will result in a qualitative difference in how you feel but, in terms of true physiological changes, you’re not going to experience anything. When there is a lack of testosterone in the brain, it has neurocognitive effects. You go with the masses and you don’t have the inclination towards leadership, risk taking or decision-making Marketing is the main reason people believe they can naturally elevate testosterone, by making guys feel inadequate about machismo and providing an easy “fix”.    At the start of the show, we got right into the main topic of the show - how men can naturally boost their testosterone. The truth about this question is

When it comes creating the most normal hormonal landscape inside the body, what protocols, substances and dosages make the most impact and ensure that the body benefits? This week, we discuss this with TRT expert, author and founder of All Things Men Dr. John Crisler and discuss optimal treatment protocols and estrogen control. Three Takeaways Entropy is part of youth, the more variability you have in your hormones, the younger you are. We’re all biochemically unique, there is no one size fits all approach for any of us.   The goal of TRT is for a man to be on it and not have his body notice it. The aim is to recreate a normal hormonal landscape deep inside the body. At the start of the episode, Dr. John told us about his background and how he became involved in medicine with the aim of building a practice that would take care of body builders. Next, we discussed how doctors are managing endocrine systems and what it was like in the early days of the practice. We also talked about estrogen management and th

Aesthetic medicine is an industry that combines art and science. It’s helping people by addressing concerns like collagen loss, bone structure atrophy and loss of jaw definition. What are the biggest trends and most popular procedures and products? This week we talk to Family Nurse Practitioner and Founder of Radiant MedSpa & Wellness, Alison Woodworth. Three Takeaways Each year, we lose 1% of the collagen in our face after age 20. The results of losing collagen include a loss in facial volume, atrophy of fat pads in your cheeks and bone structure. The point of using neuromodulators like Botox, Xiamen and Dysport is removing wrinkles, not removing facial movement. At the top of the show, we got some background on Alison and her path to her career in aesthetic medicine and age management. In terms of the breakdown of her patients, it is 80% women and 20% men, but the number of men continues to increase. Men are interested in procedures like dermal fillers that help to improve the jawline by sharpening it

When it comes to back health, what are the biggest misconceptions and what are the exercises that makes the biggest difference in reducing pain? On this episode, we talk to author and doctor of spine biometrics Dr. Stuart McGill and discuss the programs he built to address body deficits and help build a pain free foundation. Three Takeaways If you take away the mechanical cause of back pain and stop the trigger, you’ll reset the threshold trigger a little higher. For good spine health, walking in small doses and small intervals guarantees success. Every time you trigger pain, you trigger easier the next time. At the top of the show Stuart McGill told us about his story and how he got started in his practice. With an interest in optimal spine function, the work he has done relies on his ability to probe a patient’s pain provocation mechanism. This goes against the current medical system trend which, “now revolves around the 15 minute appointment. There is no hope, for the physician to do a thorough enough a

Patient care and health are on the verge of a paradigm shift, and personalized health professionals are on the tip of the spear. What are the biggest factors responsible for this shift? On this week’s episode I discuss this with the founder of Scala Precision Health, Russ Scala and touch on the current problems in healthcare, the drop in testosterone and TRT’s role in battling mental health issues and heart problems. Three Takeaways Low testosterone can accelerate blockages of the coronary arteries. Assuming that the doctors know everything is a common mistake many are making. Many patients are scared of using testosterone, it gets a bad name. This can only be combated by encouraging people to learn about it. We kicked off the show with a bit of Russ Scala’s story and his interest in how stress compromises the body. This interest goes back to when he worked in the ER and later on as a SWAT team member. This led to him starting Scala Precision Health, an institution driven by the need to empower people to ta

With many advancements happening in technology, the collective health of society continues to regress due to engineered food, lack of exercise and the lack of knowledge about internal systems. What are the biggest trends we are noticing in this wave? I discuss this with doctor, author and medical prevention expert George Touliatos and also go into detail about performance enhancement in sports. Three Takeaways Passing the test doesn’t mean you’re clean. The life of a particular substance is due to factors like BMI, metabolism and hydration. Many doctors are teaching about external health factors first because they don’t understand the internal.   Dr. George gave a background of his career and how he aimed to combine his interest in sports with his medical expertise. He mainly deals with patients who use anabolic steroids, consulting on medical prevention so that they can take them in a healthier way and reduce side effects. “It’s not about doses, it’s about lifestyle and how you use the stuff.” Next, I aske

Entrepreneurs commonly face struggles like generating a steady stream of leads and prospects, generating these leads at a reasonable cost and maximizing the overall value of your customers or clients. What is the best route to improving all these aspects of your business and what tools will you need? This week’s guest is the King of Copy, Craig Garber and he has plenty to share about business, content, enlightenment and health.   Three Takeaways Continuous relationships are facilitated through the frequency or intensity of communication. There’s a big difference between providing service and being a servant. A lot of success isn’t about knowing the answers, it’s about knowing the right questions to ask. On this week’s show we discussed how entrepreneurs can solve lead generation struggles with valuable copy and written content. Craig Garber who has worked in over 100 industries provides key insights and best practices. Craig shared the importance of content that attracts people so that you don’t have to ch

The American healthcare model has taken the power out of the hands of doctors, and ultimately the average person has suffered the consequences of this shift. How can we avoid the bureaucratic nightmare and get the quality of care that sustains our health? This week we talk to doctor and founder of CHEKD.com Dr. Aaron Grossman about preventative healthcare and how to get the best care in this system.   Three Takeaways It’s one thing to eat well, train and take supplements but that’s one part of the equation. The other half is understanding what is happening internally. Forget the systemic, bureaucracy of the healthcare system, take ownership of your health. The future of healthcare will be personalized and mobile.   Article At the start of the podcast, Aaron introduced himself and shared the professional and personal journey he took that created his interest in preventative medicine. He grew up in a family that was into it and his own father ran a nutrition focused business, and this undoubtedly planted the se

In today’s episode, Jay picks the brain of body building industry insider Nelson Montana. Their conversation covers his career and interest in body building, his experience of the industry and the body building techniques that are part of his own routine. Jay and Nelson kicked off the podcast discussing Nelson’s bodybuilding career and how he got back into it when his own teenage son took an interest in it. Nelson also gave a detailed background of his music career and the writing career that got him into bodybuilding. They discussed journalism and brand building before the internet and how the industry has changed. The listeners are also treated to Nelson’s extensive industry knowledge and knowledge of weight lifting gurus and legends. In the second part of the interview, Nelson told Jay about his own weightlifting regimen and he mentioned how he’s become more interested in working out quicker as opposed to spending more time experimenting with different techniques. He’s found that the new method gives him a

Health and fitness gurus often push calorie counting and macros on their clients but what’s missing from their guidance? Nutritionist Paul Burgess explains why clients need to understand food and its environment before anything else, and how his practice does exactly that. We also get special insight into food sensitivities and ketogenic diet tactics.  Three Takeaways  Macros can be misleading because people don’t just fit into specific categories. Macros also fail to take individual allergies and sensitivities into account. If you put on weight quickly that means your body doesn’t take fat and sugar well. Consider intermittent fasting to allow your body to improve its sensitivity to glucose. To take stress off your system, get your diet right and get your gut right.       The show started with Paul giving a bit of a background about his interest in fitness and nutrition. His focus was always on having a long healthy life. After leaving the investment industry in London he began his work in the nutritional co

High iron levels can negate your good diet and exercise habits while raising your risk of age-related diseases like cancer and heart disease. In our latest episode Dennis Mangan shares the best methods for testing for high iron and reducing iron to healthy levels in your system, plus touches on the benefits of intermittent fasting and his perspective on SARM’s. Dennis started with the basics of iron as a reactive element. Iron reacts with different constituents in our body, so the more iron in our body the more damage it causes. The #1 storage mechanism for iron in our bodies is our blood. Interestingly, Dennis points out than 10% of people in the US are truly iron-deficient, and those are mostly pre-menopausal women. The basic problem is this: Our bodies are evolutionarily conditioned to retain iron, so we have exquisite internal mechanisms for grabbing onto iron and no controlled means for getting rid of it. Over the years our bodies gradually accumulate iron and continue accumulating it beyond a healthy po
