The small intestine meridian is an interesting meridian in that it deals with joy. Joy seems like such a basic and easy to understand emotion, and it probably is…

The lung meridian is one, if not the most, important meridian as it is part of the flow of chi into the body. It is the breath. Breath is the life force that keeps the body in balance and energizes it…

Iodine is a very interesting nutrient. This short article is written to cover the necessary nutrients needed to support iodine and the detoxing that can happen while embarking on an iodine regimen.

Are you not feeling like you did prior to 2020? Did your body, energy, brain function, exercise tolerance, stress resistance, body weight, lung capacity, etc. not go back to your normal after getting C19? Long haul C19, C19 recovery or simply not feeling back to 100% after getting C19 once, a few times, having the shot, both getting it and having the shot, after the booster, etc. is a very big deal…

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin is the transport molecule of the sex hormones. It is the vehicle that takes sex hormones from the sex organs and delivers them to the target tissue, like the muscles or brain. This is perfect when the levels are ideal and sex hormone production is perfect. SHBG also acts to protect the body when the environment isn’t ideal. Even with perfect sex hormone levels, if you have high SHBG you will appear and be sex hormone depleted at the tissue level. It’s similar to a traffic jam. When too many cars are on the road (SHBG) you can’t get the people (sex hormones) to the location (target tissue). I am beginning to see this issue more and more and that is the reason for this article…

Estrogen. The glorious female dominant sex hormone, and the all too common dominant hormone in men. It is fairly easy to spot in today’s society. Personally, I find this fact phenomenally sad. Men with large breasts (manboobs), distended and over fat bellies, an excess of fat in their legs and hamstring areas, puffy and bloated arms, pale skin (due to lack of blood flow, not skin color per se), hair loss too early in life, depression, anxiety and so many more signs of bad health…

We have to keep in mind our body does NOT help us become ideal. It does NOT optimize our hormone function. It does NOT allow us to live at peak, without constant effort. What our body does do is keep us alive. Every cell, organ, gland and system in the body functions for survival, NOT peak health. This is massively forgotten and gleefully ignored as a concept in modern medicine.

HORMONAL HAIR LOSS. There are quite a few different types of hair loss. This article is written for standard male pattern baldness. This is losing hair in the crown, or back of the head and also along the hairline on the forehead, or both together. This type of hair loss is an indication of some hormonal shifts that are not only a problem for your hair. These types of hormonal shifts are a major problem in terms of heart disease and maintaining peak testerone levels and function well into late adulthood.

This is my personal plan with a few of the added options I do and cycle through every few months. It is designed to maximize testosterone, testosterone to DHT conversion, reduce aromatase, replenish nutrients related to testosterone production and maximize hair growth.

Deep sleep is highly important and a necessary component of sleep. Simply stated, it is comprised of Sleep Stages 3 and 4 and is the portion of sleep where growth hormone rises and peaks. The body repairs and heals during this phase of sleep. Growth hormone requires deep sleep to be optimal.

Have you ever wondered why some people are drawn to certain types of exercise?

Some people love cardio type exercises and can perform them for hours upon hours each week. While some would rather have their right foot amputated before they would run 2 miles. Personally, I have always found solace in the weight room and now we are beginning to learn why.
