On this episode, we discuss 20 proven, effective ways to boost your Testosterone levels naturally. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It is produced in the testicles or gonads, and plays a significant role in sexuality and reproduction, your ability to get and maintain an erection, gain muscle and lose weight, mood, confidence and energy levels. It also plays an important part with regulating other vital functions like bone density, motivation, and overall sense of wellness and much more. Here is the not so good news. Testosterone levels in men start to decline by about 1% per year in their 30’s. There is a way to get external Testosterone into your body, but that has some challenges long term. Before you go down the supplementation path, there are quite a few ways to naturally boost Testosterone levels in men.  My guest today is Alex Fergus, who as researched this topic quite a lot. Alex is a famous health coach and personal trainer based out of New Zealand. While he was growing up Alex participated in a lot of sports. He represented New Zealand in elite Rowing, won national bodybuilding titles and broke powerlifting records. But he also suffered his own health woes - from being a horrible sleeper, having embarrassingly low levels of testosterone and gut issues. Through these setbacks he learnt even more about the body - not only how to heal from these issues, but how to avoid them altogether. He continues to research, write and share, has an organic garden, lives by the beach, fishes, farms, trains and walks around barefoot in New Zealand.

Welcome to 2019 and I hope you’ve had a beautiful year so far. This week and next, I’ve put together a couple of past podcast mash ups on two topics that come up again and again in our community as being pain-points / stuck-points… HELP points! No1 is of course: Sleep. So this week we have Dr Fiona Kerr, Dr Ron Ehrlich and Alex Fergus PT all sharing wisdom from different angles when it comes to working on your sleep, why it’s important, how naps (and the length of naps) can impact your energy and problem solving, how blue light affects you, what happens when you sleep with your mouth open and much, much more. I hope you enjoy this show as a springboard for getting your best sleep yet in 2019. Check out all the extra resources, our sponsor offer and show notes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast 

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Sacha: Hello! I wanted to reach out for my father who has been dealing with some serious health issues which haven't been properly diagnosed. He began having cardiac issues years ago, however in the last few years has had significant weight loss, impaired memory, slow movements, fatigue, foggy brain, digestion issues, visual impairments in which he recently had cataract surgery which we are now finding out went wrong and there are calcium deposits. Along with all these issues he also has resting tremors in his hands and lips. He's been to numerous dr's, specialists and all can't seem to properly diagnose him. His testosterone and free test. labs are extremely low, and his cortisol was only taken fasted in the am so I am unsure about those results. I am in desperate need of a functional medicine dr to see him asap and I wanted to know what if it would be possible to bring him to the clinic or if you could refer someone in NJ/NYC. I suspect that he has heavy metal toxicity as well as gut/digestion issues. Please let me know if you could assist us with his case as I do not want to take him to a random functional medicine practitioner. Best, Sacha Tom: Do you take insurance or can I use a HSA account for payment. I am interested in going to functional medical provider. Thank you Laimute: Hello, I would like to ask you about rheumatoid arthritis. My mum has rheumatoid arthritis for many years. A year ago she gave up with meat, dairy products, white flour, sugar. I'm going to take her to India for 15 days panchakarma treatment as I've heard that it would help her to get rid of toxins that causes arthritis followed by a natural ayurvedic medicines for up to a year. My question is what is the different between panchakarma and Dr. Cabral detox as both of them clean toxins from the body? Also would you suggest anything else to add to treat rheumatoid arthritis along with panchakarma treatment Many thanks Elizabeth: Hi, thank you for all the information you are providing me in your podcast. I have a question about life after thyroidectomy. I had Graves’ disease a decade ago followed by thyroidectomy. A biopsy of the thyroid showed that it was cancerous. The surgeon shrugged, and said “no big deal”. I was then put on Thyroxine, because I now have hypothyroidism, which only replaces T4. I am wondering if T3 should also be replaced. I have talked about it with my endocrinologist a couple times, and she feels like this would be “speed“ for my system, therefore does not think it would be appropriate. I think her reasoning for not putting me on T3 is the arrhythmias I continue to experience status post thyroidectomy. I am using magnesium oil, and have been using it regularly for at least the last six months at bed time without noticeable change in the arrhythmias. So my questions are these, in your opinion should I talk to my physician again about replacing T3, and is there any specific dietary recommendations you have for someone who has had a thyroidectomy, or should I just follow recommendations for someone with hypothyroidism?  John: Dear Dr. Cabral and Staff: I would like to work with your firm in whatever capacity we ultimately deem appropriate. That is my question, where do I start? I was contemplating starting with testing but in the end I am ultimately willing to enroll in a full service "Concierge" approach. My known issues are these: I have been clinically diagnosed as suffering from minor depression (one Dr. called it dysthymia), I have been diagnosed as having adult ADD, I suffer from fatigue and have trouble sleeping. My version or view of it is that I have a hard time focusing, I constantly have fatigue, I suffer from anxiety or depression and I do not sleep well. I must add that I am a 55 Year Old Male, Married, am a Self-Employed C.P.A that is on the run all the time. So, which tests do I start with? The Big Five? Do I go through a different process? Thanks for your direction. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, John Andrew: Hello Dr C, I listened to your interview on the Ben Greenfield podcast and was perusing your site - really cool as I am in your neck of the woods.... I am curious if you have studied any of the following training programs/systems:NeuroMass by Jon Bruney, Body by Science - Doug Mcguff, X3 Bar - Dr. John Jaquish If not I will do my best to encapsulate so I can get to my questions. I like all these because they allow for a very good, all-around, strength with conditioning workout in minimal time and with little or no equipment. Though Body by Science is usually done with specific workout machines, there are supposed versions online done with bodyweight. You may know Body by Science promotes a single super-slowly executed multi-set workout of high intensity across several exercises maybe once per week. Key is time under tension. NeuroMass packages similar super-slow sets with a dyanmic/power set and isometric set. Neuromass says to do these 4x/week but can adjust to more like 2x per week. Interestingly 2x Realfit champion Alex Fergus used a version of this just 1x/week with 1 set of each exercise to win Realfit. The X3 bar is a product that promises great increase in muscle mass with just 10 minutes daily based on the benefits of variable force using high strength rubber bands.My goals are to build functional strength for longevity in an efficient way without needing lots of equipment. I guess the idea would be to work on type iib muscle fiber.I like the idea of serious-training as little as once a week, provided you are getting movement in on other days and other lighter exercise, perhaps an occasional HIIT workout. Intuitively the idea of combining slow, fast and iso exercise would seem to perhaps most comprehensively train the body, but I am not sure if there is evidence to support. The X3 bar seems to have some studies that show its method greatly increases muscle. I am a little concerned that daily training might be too much (even if body focus changes between workouts) and also the possibility that the workout increases IGF (? not sure if it does) may negatively correlate to overall longevity. Maybe all work in there own way? Thoughts?

Alex Fergus -Sleep Dive Part 2   To a lot of people, Alex Fergus is a health and fitness coach but before all that, he was first a typical rugby fan and a rowing competitor from New Zealand. His fitness enthusiasm eventually made him compete in the world of bodybuilding which gave him his fair share of awards and recognition. Today, Alex will talk about one of FitFluential Radio’s favorite topics: Sleep. He’ll give us the low down on the science behind sleep, how we can optimize our sleeping habits, and his tips on how to reset your circadian rhythm.   "Too many people get caught up with short-term gains even if it comes at the expense of long term benefits and performance.” Alex Fergus   In this episode, you’ll learn: When it comes to weight training, people often sacrifice rest and recovery for short term benefits. Overtraining may lead to quick muscle gains and weight loss but the body will suffer in the long term. One of the dangers of overtraining is adrenal fatigue which can impair your body’s ability to produce testosterone for long term. Sleep is important for just about all the body's processes specially recovery. Melatonin is an important hormone not just for sleep but for overall health and wellness. Low melatonin correlates to chronic diseases which is caused by chronic sleep deprivation. Even acute sleep deprivation can have destructive effects on your body. People ruin their circadian rhythm by using their phones right before they sleep. Technology use or even streetlights can misalign your circadian rhythm. Even sleep aids aren't enough due to hormonal changes that occurred in your body brought upon by circadian misalignment. Being exposed to so much light increases cortisol in the body which in turn "alerts" the body to stay awake despite the sleeping time. One way to reset your circadian rhythm is by going to a nearby park for the weekend, leaving your gadgets in the car, avoid artificial light, use campfire, and sleep when you’re tired.   Key Takeaways: Light is important as soon as you wake up or within the first few minutes of waking up. Expose your body and eyes to AM sunlight. This signals the body to suppress melatonin and produce cortisol, getting you ready for the day right before you’ve even had breakfast.   Connect with Alex Fergus: Alex Fergus Official Alex Fergus Interviews Facebook   Mentioned in this episode: Sound Asleep Course   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show oniTunes.

Health and wellness entrepreneur Alex Fergus has an interesting story to share about his journey to finding better health. Like many Americans, Alex grew up playing several sports throughout his childhood and college years – from competitive rowing to bodybuilding and weight-lifting. At an early age, Alex began suffering the effects of low testosterone and began his journey to transform his life, seek out better health choices, and learn more about healthy lifestyle changes including improving his circadian rhythms, eating healthier, and blocking blue light after sundown. Glyphosate, the active chemical in the weed killer RoundUp, is the world's most used herbicide. First discovered in 1950, glyphosate's herbicidal properties were not identified until 1970. It was quickly patented by agrochemical and biotech company Monsanto. Glyphosate is linked to a host of health maladies including Liver Disease, Kidney Disease, Antibiotic Resistance, Endocrine/Hormonal Disruption, Cancer, Mitochondrial Disease, etc “Ingestion of Glyphosate via food or water sources puts one a risk for many health issues and one of the reasons I take such a hardline stance to buy Organic only.” – Alex Fergus In This Episode, You Will Learn: What are PUFAs Why are PUFAs so unhealthy High Omega 6 Levels from PUFAs and Inflammation’ Death by PUFAs - What they are the worst thing you ingest’ PUFAs and Cancer PUFAs and Obesity   Mentioned in This Episode https://www.alexfergus.com/blog/glyphosate-the-weed-killer-found-in-our-food-water https://www.alexfergus.com/blog/glyphosate-why-you-need-to-eat-organic https://www.alexfergus.com/blog/how-to-protect-yourself-from-glyphosate   Key Takeaway: Avoiding Glyphosate (from Roundup) takes diligence and effort. The benefits, however, are likely the most significant as far as impact on your overall health, wellness, and fitness.   Connect with Alex Fergus: Alex Fergus website   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

We live in a time where is seems as if everything under the sun is bad for us. Some even claim the sun itself is harmful to our health!

I grew up in New Zealand participated in a lot of sports.  I represented my country in Rowing, won national bodybuilding titles and broke powerlifting records. I always wanted to be healthier, faster and fitter.  This thirst to improve lead me into the world of health coaching. Others came to me to learn what I was doing.  I continue to read, study, experiment, listen and learn.  I have suffered my own health woes - from being a horrible sleeper, embarrassingly low levels of testosterone and gut issues. Through these setbacks I have learnt even more about the body - not only how to heal from these issues, but how to avoid them altogether.  This is why my clients continue to have such amazing results. The more people I work with, the more I learn, the more I do, the better I become. Just as Nicholas Taleb explains in the book Antifragile. Today I continue to learn ways to optimise my own and my clients health and fitness, but also the people around me, family, friends and society as a whole.  I continue to research write and share, while I grow an organic vege garden, live by the beach, fish, farm, train and walk around barefoot in New Zealand.
