When it comes to hormones, women are often the focus, but men (and boys) are facing a serious hormone and health crisis of their own. Since June is Men's Health month, this final episode of Season One focuses on the guys. I cover some shocking statistics, a few historical indications of trouble brewing, and some of the main ways men’s hormones are under siege. I provide actionable diet, lifestyle and supplement tips that help support men's hormones and health. I also briefly touch on ideological ways men’s health is under attack.

"The Perfect Metabolism Plan," written by Sara Vance. Millions of us have counted calories until we're blue in the face. We've cut fat, eaten less, and exercised more─and we're still heavier than we want to be. Or we lose the weight, only to see it creep back. It's frustrating, discouraging, and unhealthy. In Sara Vance's The Perfect Metabolism Plan, you'll learn that this inability to stay at a healthy weight is not about willpower and it's not your fault! When your metabolism is out of whack, your willpower, hunger hormones, insulin, and cravings all work against you. And you not only can't lose weight, you tend to feel foggy, sluggish, or generally unwell. It’s time to take control. "Male 2.0," written by Dr. Gapin, a board-certified urologist and men's health expert. Male 2.0 provides a holistic approach to the challenges men face in today's environment, including stress, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and hormonal imbalances. The book advocates for a personalized approach to health that integrates nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management and discusses the importance of hormone optimization, particularly testosterone, and provides insights into natural methods to enhance testosterone levels. "Male 2.0" aims to empower men to take proactive steps towards achieving optimal health, vitality, and longevity through sustainable lifestyle changes and informed decision-making."Drug Muggers", by Dr. Suzy Cohen, Prescription and over-the-counter drugs help millions of people with diseases and chronic conditions. But in the process, these medications can also deplete the body's natural stores of vitamins, minerals, and hormones. Pharmacist Suzy Cohen calls these medications "drug muggers," and she says it's essential to replenish what they steal from your body in order to feel your best and avoid side effects. "The Ultimate MANual," Written by Dr. David Samadi, a renowned urologic oncologist and expert in prostate cancer treatment.

It examines the detrimental effects of widespread pesticide use, particularly DDT, on the environment and human health. The book warns of the long-term consequences of pesticide pollution, highlighting how chemicals accumulate in ecosystems, harm wildlife, and pose risks to human health through food contamination and environmental exposure. "Silent Spring" sparked widespread public concern and led to increased awareness about the need for environmental conservation and the regulation of chemical pesticides. It is credited with catalyzing the modern environmental movement and influencing policies aimed at protecting ecosystems and human well-being from harmful chemical substances.Recommended Films:
"The Disappearing Male" - a documentary that explores the effects of chemicals found in everyday products on male reproductive health. It delves into how exposure to these chemicals, such as phthalates and bisphenol A, may be contributing to a decline in male fertility and an increase in birth defects and reproductive disorders. The film investigates the potential links between these chemicals and conditions like testicular cancer and male birth defects, and it raises concerns about the impact on future generations."Endocrination" is a documentary that explores the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on human health and the environment. The film introduces viewers to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which are substances that can interfere with the body's hormonal systems. These chemicals are found in everyday products such as plastics, pesticides, cosmetics, and food packaging. "Our Chemical Lives" is a documentary that examines the pervasive presence of synthetic chemicals in daily life, highlighting their potential impacts on human health and the environment. The film discusses how these chemicals, found in products ranging from cosmetics to food packaging, can act as endocrine disruptors and contribute to reproductive disorders, developmental issues, and increased cancer risks. It addresses the environmental consequences of chemical pollution, including bioaccumulation in ecosystems and harm to wildlife.Supporting Research:

A very common question that comes up a lot is - "Do I need to take supplements? Why can't I just get all my nutrients from foods?"
Theoretically yes, we should be able to get everything we need from our diet and lifestyle. I mean, cavemen didn’t take supplements did they? Well, during paleolithic times there weren’t flaming hot Cheetos and Twinkies either.

According to the latest headlines, Intermittent fasting is bad, really bad - in fact, it could kill you. A new preprint study found that it is linked to a 91% higher risk of cardiovascular death. But there is also a large body of research that shows that intermittent fasting is good for you - it has been shown to boost the immune system, improve blood sugar, cholesterol, metabolism, weight, and benefit longevity. So which is it - is Intermittent fasting good for us, or could it kill us? I decided to invite Dr. Kurt Perkins on the podcast again to discuss.

For Heart Health Month, I am joined by Dr. Stephen Hussey, the author of a ground breaking book called ”Understanding the Heart.”
His book is a revolutionary way of understanding the heart, and on this episode he shares some very surprising things that we misunderstand about the heart/heart health, unique lifestyle tips support our heart, what is structured water and how does it impact the heart, wrongly demonized foods, and also about his own personal health story and his survival story from a heart attack, and what led up to it.
I truly encourage you to get his book - we just barely scratched the surface today!!
About Dr. Stephen Hussey: He has a Doctorate of Chiropractic & Masters in Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. He is the author of two books; “The Health Evolution” and “Understanding The Heart, Surprising Insights into The Evolutionary Origins of Heart Disease and Why It Matters”

Are seed oils toxic? Or is that a conspiracy?
Seed oils are perhaps the most controversial ingredient of the moment. Just a quick internet search of "seed oils" will give you a wide range of articles that emphatically push both sides of the argument.
In this episode I share some of the (shocking) history of fats and the origins of diet-heart hypothesis, explain what seed oils are, what potential health concerns they might pose, which seed oils are actually healthy, what fats I use, and a super cool new alternative to fish oils that was discovered because of dolphins.
And I forgot to mention the cool trick for using coconut oil for busting sugar cravings:
Just stir a little bit (like 1/2 teaspoon) of virgin coconut oil into a cup of green tea. Let it cool a minute, then sip it down. It can nip a sugar craving in the bud, and give you that burst of energy you’re seeking!!

Bonus episode: Introducing one of my secret weapons - resistant starch. It is sometimes called “the skinny starch,” because it helps with metabolism, blood sugar, digestion, and many other benefits - including lowering inflammation and even colon cancer risk. It also is shown in studies to boost the production of GLP-1, which is why some people are comparing it to Ozempic.
And best of all - I love to make yummy raw "skinny" desserts with it.
