See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog In my Anti-Aging-Longevity practice, one of the complaints my new patients tell me about is the fact that their hair is thinning, falling out or changing to a brittle texture, as well as the fact that their hair is turning grey. Hair DOES get thinner, coarser, and greyer as we age! That is a fact, and one I can't fully explain to you, except that it happens to everyone! My philosophy is that each of us should work with what we have, and optimize it, as well as treat any condition that makes hair loss work instead of wishing and wishing we had the hair we did when we were 25! Accepting the fact that your hair gets thinner after 40 and working with the hair you have takes knowledge to determine what is normal and what is not. Some of the things that everyone should know before looking for the best path forward to healthy hair. Aging and Slower Hair Growth Low Growth Hormone Lack of Estradiol and T in women and lack of T in men Aging causes Growth Hormone (GH) to decrease, which slows the growth of hair, fingernails, bone. Your hair falls out at the same rate as it did when you were young, but the growth slows which results in losing more hair than you replace which thins your hair! If you started your young life with fine, thin hair, then this difference between growth and loss of hair can make your hair very thin. To get to the root of the problem (I apologize) increasing GH will make your hair grow a bit faster. Testosterone replacement and Estradiol replacement both increase the growth of GH. Both hormone replacements increase hair thickness. Testosterone has a second benefit. Testosterone makes your scalp oiler, which in turn increases the longevity of your hair. At menopause the lack of these two hormones causes a big change in hair thickness. Loss of hair in specific areas—Balding Genetics Scarring alopecia Androgenic alopecia Extensions Dread-locks Balding and alopecia both cause a person to lose hair follicles, not just slow the rate of hair growth. Balding usually is genetically determined, so look at the older members of your family to determine what is in your future. This type of hair loss is very difficult to treat. 50% of men have some balding by age 50, and 1/3 of women experience it sometime in their lives. Until recently there was nothing to stop this process or grow more hair in those areas, however both men and women can resurrect their hair follicles (if they haven't been gone too long) and make them grow with the TED hair restoration painless ultrasound treatment by Alma. Other options are Hans Weiman hair transplants or weaves, both of which are extremely expensive, don't necessarily look natural (President Biden and his son) and must be redone every couple of years. Women can just cover over the problem with a wig, but even that answer has drawbacks—they are hot and itchy until you get used to it. Women can also get extensions to make their hair look thicker, but it ruins the quality of the hair you have which in the long run causes even more hair loss from scarring of the scalp. Women of color have traditionally used tight braids, cornrowing or dreadlocks to control their hair. This cultural process causes them to break their hair off at the scalp and damage the hair follicle from tension, which results in hair no longer growing in multiple areas of the scalp. Change in Hair Texture and Dryness At menopause for women and when men's testosterone gets very low, we notice a change in texture of our hair. The cuticle area that covers the hair shaft becomes fragile and stops protecting the hair shaft, so the texture becomes frizzy, and hair breaks causing a dull look similar to what my mother used to call a “birds nest”. Our scalps become dry, and the oil glands dry up with age and loss of sex hormones, so hair is dry and frizzy, making us look like we just stuck our fingers in a light switch. You can read about many “natural remedies” but beyond taking collagen, Biotin and B vitamins most supplements don't work in a dramatic way that would be noticeable. The remedies for hair loss include all the following and you will have to do most of them to improve your aging hair! Hormone replacement of Estradiol and Testosterone Conditioners (which only work a little) Hair color which covers the shaft with pigment and strengthens hair Brazilian treatment that drives straightener into the hair shaft and seals it with heat. Take supplements of Collagen every morning Take methyl B12 and Biotin daily Stop bleaching your hair Eat a diet with healthy fats and protein Wash your hair every 2-3 days Take the fat soluble vitamins A.E.K,D If you are anemic take iron supplements Avoid statins if possible Other medical causes of frizzy, broken hair can be found in low thyroid hormones which slows hair growth, decreases oil production, and results in brittle hair all over the head. Replacing your thyroid hormones and supplementing your iodine can overcome this obstacle. All medicine changes should be managed by your doctor. Many drugs cause hair loss, and you can't change some of them: Metoprolol or any Beta blocker Blood pressure medication Prednisone and all steroids Cancer treatments Anything that inhibits your B vitamins like some autoimmune diseases What can you do to fix what you can fix! Nutrition: Hair is protein; however hair requires oil (fat) to grow and be beautiful—a diet rich in protein, and healthy fats give you the building blocks to make healthy hair and skin. Add Vitamins of A/E/K/D, vitamin C, Multi Methyl B vitamins with methyl folate and Biotin because our diets aren't perfect! Hair care: Get hair products without sulfides. They break hair and make it weak! Wash your hair as little as possible. Decrease the use of hot hair tools like flat irons. Color your hair and or Brazilian it to make it stronger. Medications not to take are listed above. But the medications to take to help your hair are your sex hormones, Estradiol, Testosterone, and make sure your DHT doesn't get too high which can cause hair loss in the male pattern. You may need Finasteride or Minoxidil if you have male pattern hair loss. Sun damage is important to maintain your hair in sunny areas. Wear a hat or scarf when outside and comb some conditioner through your hair at the pool to “cover your hair from sun damage”. Summary: Now that you know the possible causes and treatments for hair loss, you can do everything possible up to seeking medical care, and then medical care may be necessary. Hair thinning is often familial and also due to our estradiol and testosterone hormones decreasing after 35-40 years of age. You may need a scalp biopsy from a Dermatologist if your hair loss is in patches or severe over a short period of time, which implies an autoimmune disease. When you see a doctor be prepared with a list of your hair products, your diet, a list of medicines and a timeline for your hair loss. This preparation will get you the best treatment per doctor visit, and your doctor will appreciate not having to ask you all those questions!
After much research:Cancer lovesAcid food,- this means meat, fish, cocked food… No OxygenSugar1. Cancer and other diseases need an acid environment from PH5.5… And that comes true for all meat/fish eaters! Their PH level is below Ph 5.5An acid environment promotes yeast and all fungus.So, the more acidic your body is, the easier it becomes for cancer to grow and spread.A healthy body typically has a PH level of around 7.4 which is slightly alkaline.Just make a test by yourself and check your urine with Litmus paper…We need to alkalize the body. Eat alkaline food like fresh unprocessed, uncooked fruits and vegetables…This means a plant-based diet without processed food like vegetable oil, sugar, trans fat, and meat prevents and can heal cancer.Eat only unprocessed, gluten-free, whole grains, like brown rice, quinoa, flax seeds, and millet at least 90 grams daily.Tumors are harmless until they get a blood supply.That is called Tumor angiogenesis…And when they hijack the angiogenesis system they get from the blood oxygen and nutrients.From a 2mm size, they can grow within 2 weeks 16000 times.Food that is anti-androgenic cuts the blood supply from the cancer- or tumor cells and starves so the cancer.1. Green tea because it contains catechins and that is anti-androgenic.And even it:Lower inflammationBoost immune systemDon't prepare green tea with boiling water, first, it doesn't taste delicious, and second, you destroy the catechins!How to make healthy green tea?Put hot water 70-80 Celsius over loose tea leaves and let it cool down and then it produces the catechins or EGCG and only then can it be beneficial. When using teabags, shake them in the hot water. Consistent daily consumption of matcha or green tea can help maintain high levels of catechins in your body.Drink only 2-3 cups of green tea or matcha daily, because you would take in too much caffeine. The most catechins from the green tea you gain, when you let the green tea leaves soak 30 minutes in 80Celsius hot water.2. KaleCauliflower, Brussels sprouts,All kinds of KaleBecause inside is sulforaphane they boost immune systemLower inflammation Are anti-Androgenic Broccoli sprouts have the most sulforaphane and 100 times more sulforaphane than Broccoli.The broccoli stem 2 times more than the top.3. Papaya lowers the risk of lung cancer.The red color papaya contains carotenoids Are anti-inflammatoryanti-Androgenic 4. Purple potatoes (with purple flesh), and red potatoes (with orange to reddish flesh) you can even eat them raw when you ground them or put them in an electric blender, -delicious. They're also easier to cook and you can add them to any meal.They contain anthocyaninAre anti-inflammatoryAnti-Androgenic has Vitamin A and C Kills cancer stem cells.5. Pomegranates packed with bio actives like ellagitanninsanti-Androgenic Stimulates the lower Colon to produce mucus and helps healthy gut bacteria. 6. Garlic, Ginger, and Turmeric are anti-androgenic and kill cancer cells.7. Legumes like lima beans, lentils, soybeans...8. Lemons9. Nuts, like almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts… not more than 50 gr per day.10. dark leafy greens Including kale, spinach and parsley11. Berries, like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries12.

Hairloss sucks doesn't it, especially if the hair reaper strikes you down while you're still young! Androgenic hairloss (or pattern baldness) affects 2/3 of the male population, lesser so for the female population, but is still a relatively taboo, almost 'vain' topic of discussion for many. Not here though, join us as we rip hair out trying to dissect bad hair-loss prevention advice and replace it with better, more scientific based facts.Want more aesthetics content?

Before we see the difference between the hair in the genital areas to that of the hair in other visible areas of the body, one should know that three main types of hair grow on all human beings. First is the Lanugo hair, the hair grown on fetus, which are lost once the baby is born. Second is the Vellus hair, the thin, short, and light hair, which covers almost the complete human body except for some areas like the back of the ears, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, etc. The third is the Terminal hair or the Androgenic hair, long and thicker hair, which during puberty replaces vellus hair in certain areas of the body like arms, armpits, legs, pubic, facial hair, etc. The length, color, and thickness of terminal hair vary from person to person depending on the hair growth rate and genes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hollywoodandchinadollshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hollywoodandchinadollshow/support

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ FINASTERIDE is a name of a medication that is commonly used in both dermatology and urology. It is an oral enzyme inhibitor that is used to decrease hair loss and to treat prostate enlargement. Finasteride is called a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (5-ARI). It inhibits the enzyme that makes DHT out of free- testosterone. DHT is not a bad hormone, it is only a problem for us if it is too high or too low. DHT is one of the hormones that you need in the right quantity for normal sexuality, normal brain function, normal muscle mass and strength et al, but it is not healthy to have too much which can cause male pattern hair loss, facial hair on women, hair loss at the temples in women, and prostate enlargement and trouble urinating in men. Because men have a high incidence of hair loss, and prostate enlargement as they age, dermatologists, urologists and family docs start these men on Finasteride/Propecia/Proscar, but don't think about the side effects or how the drug works. It is sometimes even started for genetic hair loss, which is not successfully treated with Finasteride. What is the function of 5-alpha reductase inhibitor? 5-alpha reductase is vital to the development of male characteristics such as facial hair, deep voice, muscle growth, prostate enlargement male libido and prevention of ED. What are finasteride and it's brother medication, Dutasteride used to treat? Male Pattern hair loss (Androgenic alopecia) in men and postmenopausal women Benign Prostate enlargement (BPH) High DHT causing acne and facial hair in postmenopausal women (off label and only after spironolactone is found to not be enough in women only) ****Women who are of child-bearing age should not take this drug! What are the names of the two drugs available that are 5-alpha reductase inhibitors? Finasteride® and Dutasteride® These medications decrease the amount of circulating DHT by 70-98%. Therefore, when it is used to decrease hair loss and shrink an enlarged prostate, all of the DHT is decreased which results in blocking all the positive actions of DHT such as libido, energy, muscle maintenance, Penile length, erectile function, and male pattern body hair. These male characteristics are blunted for the sake of a thick head of hair and to shrink the prostate. It takes a much higher testosterone blood level and free testosterone to maintain male characteristics when on these meds. In some men there is no amount of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors is safe. Side Effects of 5-alph-reductase inhibitors: Loss Sexual Dysfunction (Overall rate of sexual dysfunction 3.7%) Decreased ejaculatory volume-1.5-3.7% Ejaculation Disorders-0.2-0.8% of libido ED/Impotence 5-8% of the users have this Infertility 34% decreased sperm count, and 14.5% reduced sperm volume after 26 weeks of use. Normalization of seminal quality usually returns after discontinuation of finasteride Depression and Suicide Breast tissue dysfunction-0.9-2.5% (men) https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2010/020180s037lbl.pdf, accessed January 25, 2021 POST FINASTERIDE SYNDROME: SOMETIMES THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE PERMANENT AND CAN ONLY BE TREATED BY TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT OVER TIME….THIS IS A LIFE LONG PROCESS OF REGROWING TESTOSTERONE RECEPTOR SITES.

These supplements stop facial hair in women and may help to treat hirsutism by acting as androgen blockers. Learn how to get rid of your facial hair here. Are you a woman struggling with facial hair growth? Dark hair growth on the face is a warning sign of a hormone imbalance. As estrogen and progesterone levels fall this allows for testosterone levels to rise. As testosterone and androgens increase, you may start to develop facial hair growth. The good news? This can be treated or at least improved with the use of certain supplements that BLOCK this process from occurring. While these supplements can be very effective to help stop facial hair growth I would strongly recommend that you use them in conjunction with other therapies and hormones. This treatment will give you the BEST results possible. This list of supplements works to help reduce testosterone and androgens by either blocking the activation of testosterone to DHT. They also work by improving estrogen and progesterone levels which can naturally block testosterone receptors. Learn more about these supplements and how to use them here!

Androgenic herbs, for this discussion, are a class of herbs which contain the androgen male sex hormones or which increase the body's own production of these hormones. Pine Pollen is an example of a herb which contains androgen hormones including Androstenedione, Testosterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone, and Androsterone herbs that increase the production of testosterone include Tribulus, Cistanche Tubulosa, and Tongkat Ali.

Taking the androgenic approach is building a lifestyle focused on health, wellness, and vitality, and more specifically, an approach and focus on living which maximizes the androgenic hormones—a shorthand way of speaking about male health (physical, mental, spiritual). The androgenic approach is not ignoring all other aspects of the male experience, but rather it is tying all those aspects together into a unified whole. It is a holistic—nay, cohesive—approach.

The androgenic approach both encompasses therapeutic pro-androgenic herbs (such as Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen) and diet and lifestyle modifications (more on this later). And while the approach does breach the levy of simply taking something—whether that be pro-androgenic herbs, other nutritional and dietary supplements, and even pharmaceutical approaches and interventions—this article will focus on the Pro-androgenic herbs.

The ALL ME® Podcast S01 EP 06: Dr. Shalender Bhasin – Anabolic Steroids: A Medical Perspective Did you know that over 1.5 million young people admit to using anabolic steroids? Many of them have no idea the dangers and risks associated with these drugs as over 85% of our young people have never been educated on this issue. With this growing problem, we deemed it important to get an understanding of what Anabolic Steroids are from a medical perspective. In this episode, you will hear from Dr. Shalender Bhasin, a leading Endocrinologist who is a Professor of Medicine and Director of the Research Program in Men's Health, Aging and Metabolism at Harvard Medical School while also working at Brigham and Women's Hospital there. Dr. Bhasin is an expert in men's health and has been doing research on the effects of testosterone and other androgens for over 30 years. Since we will be talking about these drugs in many episodes to come, we felt this podcast was important to our listeners to know what anabolic steroids are and the risk they face should they decide to use them. In this episode you will hear about about Dr. Bhasin's background and how he got into this field. We will talk about his current role, what he has seen while researching anabolic steroids and many of the side effects of using these drugs. We will also dive into the world of testosterone replacement therapy all while examining the scope of this problem and the need for education on these topics. Please note the Taylor Hooton Foundation does not endorse the use of anabolic steroids and for any medical questions you may have on these issues please consult your physician. Resource Definitions and Links: Dr. Bhasin: Endocrine Society: Endocrine Society Practice Guidelines: Endocrinology-The science of hormones Anabolic Steroids- Synthetic (man-made) versions of testosterone. Testosterone is the main sex hormone in males. It is needed to develop and maintain male sex characteristics, such as facial hair, deep voice, and muscle growth. Women do have some testosterone in their bodies, but in much smaller amounts Hypogonadism: Also known as testosterone deficiency, it is a failure of the testes to produce the male sex hormone testosterone, sperm, or both. Testosterone Replacement Therapy: TRT is an acronym for testosterone replacement therapy, sometimes called androgen replacement therapy. It's primarily used to treat low (T) levels, which can occur with age or as a result of a medical condition. It is becoming increasingly popular for non-medical uses, including enhancing sexual performance, achieving higher energy levels and building muscle mass for bodybuilding. Signs of low testosterone MIND • Depression • Reduced self-confidence • Difficulty concentrating • Disturbed sleep BODY • Declining muscle and bone mass • Increased body fat • Fatigue • Swollen or tender breasts • Flushing or hot flashes SEXUAL FUNCTION • Lower sex drive • Fewer spontaneous erections • Difficulty sustaining erections Follow Us: Twitter: @theTHF Instagram: @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Contact Us: Email: Phone: 214-449-1990 ALL ME Assembly Programs:
Testosterone is not neuroprotective, estrogen is. A common myth circulating in the bodybuilding and TRT community is that testosterone is inherently neuroprotective and is unique from all other anabolic steroids in that regard. The reason why testosterone is neuroprotective is simply because it aromatizes at a rate that provides a sufficient amount of estradiol to balance out the androgenicity in the body. Data in rodent models using cortical cells suggests this very convincingly by showing how the aromatase inhibitor Anastrozole (Arimidex) completely eliminated the neuroprotective effects of testosterone [R]. https://youtu.be/Gv_v0mJy6Bg Are Synthetic Anabolic Steroids More Dangerous Than Testosterone? There have been tons of studies published suggesting how much worse synthetic anabolic steroids are in contrast to testosterone for cardiovascular disease, neurotoxicity, and a myriad of other deleterious outcomes. I believe that a significant amount of this data is exaggerated based on the fact that exogenous estrogen is never co-administered in these studies. At the end of the day, testosterone is the safest androgen at physiologic dosages. However, I theorize that many synthetic anabolic steroids are not as dangerous as we are led to believe. My theory is that some compounds are not inherently significantly more dangerous than testosterone, rather, it is their lack of aromatization, 5-alpha reduction, or differing affinity for off-target receptors that makes them more dangerous. The effect on estrogen receptors and how potent of a substrate an anabolic steroid is for aromatase is the main factor that impacts how viable a hormone is for consideration in a monotherapy context. DHT derivatives cannot be converted by the enzyme aromatase into an estrogen like estradiol. Nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) and its derivatives (19-nors) each have their own individual affinity (or lack thereof) for estrogen receptors and interaction with aromatase, often resulting in subpar estrogen levels (exceptions to this exist such as Trestolone/MENT). Basically, I believe that some steroids may show to be significantly more cardiotoxic and neurotoxic in the data because they are always used on their own with an insufficient amount of estrogen to balance out the androgenicity in the body. The Importance Of Sufficient Estrogen Levels Healthy estrogen levels are needed for libido, erection quality, vasodilation, cardiovascular health, brain health, bone health and several other critical functions. In women the risk of cardiovascular disease spikes significantly after menopause. It isn't a coincidence that the majority of women who develop heart disease have it occur after their estrogen production has dropped to sub-male levels. If you don't have a sufficient amount of estrogen relative to androgen levels in the body, cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity levels will be significantly higher than they would be if healthy estrogen levels were sustained. From a bodybuilding perspective, estrogen is needed to optimize muscle growth, fat loss, as well as IGF-1 and growth factor production/cellular signaling. This is why heavily aromatizing steroids may indirectly result in greater growth potential and are often classified as "bulking" compounds. Anecdotally, many bodybuilders report that the most they've ever grown was during off-season mass building phases when their estrogen levels were through the roof. The Point Of A Testosterone Base Testosterone is not tissue selective and is actually a poor muscle builder milligram for milligram when compared to other synthetic anabolic steroids developed in the years following its discovery. When it comes to nitrogen retention, on paper it is not superior to many anabolic steroids. However, it aromatizes into estradiol at a very tightly regulated rate, it is bioidentical, and our body knows exactly what to do with it. In addition, our body knows how much testosterone to bind up with SHBG, how much to free up and make available to tissues, as well as how much DHT to 5-alpha reduce to antagonize estrogen receptor activation should it get out of control. From a bodybuilding perspective, testosterone is subpar in many aspects. However, in an overall health, longevity AND bodybuilding context, testosterone cannot be beat at therapeutic dosages. By using a testosterone base or a source of sufficient estrogen the shortcomings of other anabolic agents can be attenuated to some extent, hence why testosterone is the base of most steroid cycles. The Balancing Act Of Testosterone, DHT and Estrogen Steroidogenesis in the body is carried out like a massive orchestra to regulate countless functions. It's far more elaborate than simply testosterone, estrogen and DHT production. Even at a snapshot view, the balancing act of androgens and estrogens in the body is tightly regulated and is carried out to ensure health remains optimized. This balancing act gets more and more dysfunctional with age, poor lifestyle, poor diet, poor sleep hygiene and numerous other factors. However, the body still knows exactly what to do with testosterone, how to create an optimal opposing amount of estrogens, and how much testosterone to 5-alpha reduce into DHT to oppose excessive estrogens and support male secondary sex characteristics. When you compare clinical data on a synthetic anabolic steroid to testosterone in a monotherapy context, you have to consider that these studies are utilizing that synthetic steroid on their own, not with exogenous estrogen or any supplementary hormones that may be needed to balance out its androgenicity, lack of estrogenic activity and/or interaction with aromatase. Obviously if you take a compound that doesn't aromatize sufficiently to estrogen and compare it head to head with the bioidentical androgen that our body knows how to aromatize and 5-alpha reduce at a perfectly balanced rate, you can just imagine which is going to come out on top in a cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity context. Does this mean that a synthetic anabolic steroid compared to testosterone would not potentially be more efficacious than testosterone should those other backend pathways be supplemented to fill the gaps though? Synthetic Anabolic Steroids With Exogenous Estradiol For HRT Some individuals have underlying genetic polymorphisms and defects in sex hormone metabolism that may throw off the tightly regulated steroidogenesis pathway in a way that skews too heavily in favor of estrogen, or too heavily in favor of androgens. There are many cases in which synthetic anabolic steroids may beat out testosterone, despite testosterone on paper being the candidate of choice for most men at therapeutic dosages, and still the candidate of choice for many men at supraphysiological dosages too in a bodybuilding context. Nandrolone is a great compound to exemplify this in my opinion. It has a much lower level of androgenicity in the body due to its 5-alpha reduction into DHN, and it is also far less estrogenic than testosterone. Those who are prone to gyno, hair loss, acne or other common testosterone related side effects typically prefer nandrolone for this reason. This is why many female oral contraceptives are nandrolone analogs as well. Unfortunately, your heart and brain don't care if you have hair loss, acne, or gyno, so there can be deleterious outcomes as a result of androgen use without a sufficient amount of unopposed estrogens, or an estrogen excess without sufficient androgen opposition. In regards to nandrolone, I don't believe it has a sufficient amount of opposing estrogen to balance out its androgenicity. It activates estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) a bit via its inherent estrogenicity and it can aromatize to estrone, which can then convert to estradiol, but the amount of overall estrogenic activity it provides does not appear to be sufficient to offset its neurotoxicity or cardiotoxicity. I believe this is why most of the data found in nandrolone studies shows how horrible it is for the brain and the heart. Nandrolone is always evaluated on its own without a sufficient amount of estrogen present to provide cardiovascular and neurological support. If you shut down your natural endogenous testosterone production with an exogenous steroid, you will also shut down your natural endogenous estrogen production. Any estrogen production (or lack thereof) would then be derived from whatever exogenous steroids are being administered. This is why some synthetic steroids may not necessarily be as dangerous as we once thought, as the data we use to review their safety profiles are skewed by their lack of estrogenic support in the tissues that would otherwise be supported by testosterone aromatizing into estradiol. In the presence of sufficient estrogen, it is entirely possible that the deleterious effects of certain synthetic steroids in the body may be attenuated to some extent. The Neurotoxicity Of Testosterone, Nandrolone And Winstrol Comparing the effect of testosterone with that of 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone) and stanozolol (Winstrol) on neurotoxicity we can clearly see that estrogen is what protects neurons in the brain, not testosterone itself. In this study, a physiologic dosage of testosterone was neuroprotective [R]. Testosterone only amplified neurotoxicity at supraphysiological dosages. The neuroprotective effect of a physiologic dosage of testosterone was completely eliminated when the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole (Arimidex) was co-administered, suggesting that the intrinsic toxicity of testosterone as an androgen is only counterbalanced by its aromatization into 17β-estradiol. As opposed to testosterone, nandrolone does not appear to aromatize sufficiently into estrogen, and Winstrol does not interact with aromatase at all. As you would expect, nandrolone and Winstrol were both neurotoxic at every single dose evaluated regardless of Arimidex being co-administered or not. The anti-androgen flutamide was able to attenuate the neurotoxicity of all three androgens, thus further reinforcing that physiologic dosages of androgens without a sufficient amount of opposing estrogens, or supraphysiological dosages of androgens may facilitate neuronal death. None of the anabolic androgenic steroids in this study were toxic in the absence of NMDA, therefore suggesting that the mechanism by which unopposed androgens facilitate neuronal death is by increased vulnerability to excitotoxic insults. Testosterone Neuroprotective Effect Of Testosterone At Physiologic Dosages Without Arimidex At physiologic dosages without an aromatase inhibitor present, testosterone has shown to have a neuroprotective effect. Neuroprotective Effect Of Testosterone At Physiologic Dosages Is Eliminated By Arimidex It is often assumed that the androgen itself (testosterone) is what protects the brain. However, the aromatase inhibitor Arimidex completely eliminated all neuroprotective effects of testosterone at that same physiologic dosage. Arimidex (anastrozole) exacerbated neurotoxicity at every single testosterone dosage when it was co-administered. This suggests that testosterone is not a unique androgen that is more neuroprotective than all other steroids, rather, it is its aromatization into estrogen that is neuroprotective. Neurotoxicity Of Testosterone At Suraphysiological Dosages With And Without Arimidex At supraphysiological dosages, testosterone has shown to exacerbate neurotoxicity. While its aromatization into estrogen still prevents a significant amount of neuronal death, we can clearly see that supraphysiological testosterone concentrations exacerbate neurotoxicity regardless, and supraphysiological estrogen levels will not provide dose-dependent increases in neuroprotection. What is the takeaway from this? The data suggests that physiologic concentrations of testosterone facilitate neuroprotection in the brain via aromatization into estrogen, but there is a threshold to that neuroprotection, and supraphysiological concentrations will still be unhealthy. Nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) Neurotoxicity Of Nandrolone Regardless Of Arimidex Use Nandrolone exacerbated neurotoxicity at all dosages, regardless if it was a low concentration or a high concentration being evaluated. In addition, co-administering Arimidex had no impact on how neurotoxic nandrolone was in this model at any dosage. This suggests that nandrolone does not aromatize into a sufficient amount of estrogen, or activate estrogen receptors on its own at an amount satisfactory to provide the neuroprotective effects of healthy estrogen levels. A source of estrogen would likely be necessary to co-administer with nandrolone for it to be considered a viable monotherapy alternative in a HRT context, or as a "healthy" cycle. Winstrol (Stanozolol) Neurotoxicity Of Winstrol Regardless Of Arimidex Use Winstrol exacerbated neurotoxicity at all dosages, regardless if it was a low concentration or a high concentration being evaluated. In addition, co-administering Arimidex had no impact on how neurotoxic Winstrol was in this model at any dosage. We already know that Winstrol does not aromatize into estrogen at all. This data suggests that a source of estrogen would be necessary to co-administer with Winstrol for it to even be considered as a viable monotherapy alternative in a HRT context, or as a "healthy" cycle. Anti-Androgens Attenuate The Neurotoxicity Of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids Unopposed androgens with an insufficient amount of estrogen present will be cardiotoxic and neurotoxic. This is why Flutamide (an anti-androgen) was able to eliminate the neurotoxicity of nandrolone and Winstrol. Anti-androgens have a dose-dependent response just like anabolic androgenic steroids, so there will be androgen receptor (AR) competition occurring between anti-androgens and androgens for AR binding and activation. Anti-androgens will act as competitive antagonists for AR, or as makeshift synthetic steroids themselves, albeit with significantly reduced androgenicity. Basically, depending on the anti-androgen used, they will work either by suppressing endogenous androgen production, and/or by competing for androgen receptors. How effective the anti-androgen will be at inhibiting androgens from binding to AR will be based on binding affinity, binding constant, half-life, the dosage used, and a myriad of other factors. Flutamide is non-steroidal and acts as a selective, competitive, silent antagonist of the AR. It is a primitive and subpar anti-androgen relative to more recent developments in medicine, however, it is still effective at preventing androgens from binding to androgen receptors. This is why flutamide was able to eliminate all of the neurotoxicity of nandrolone and Winstrol at all dosages. By preventing nandrolone and Winstrol from binding to androgen receptors, they are no longer able to transcribe their effects in tissues. The flutamide and Arimidex data reinforces the fact that nandrolone does not produce enough estrogen to provide the neuroprotection needed to stave off neuronal death. With or without an aromatase inhibitor, nandrolone exacerbates neurotoxicity just the same. Without an aromatase inhibitor but with an anti-androgen, the neurotoxicity of Nandrolone is eliminated entirely. I suspect that the same applies for the inherent cardiotoxicity of nandrolone as well. Expectedly, the same applies for Winstrol as it is not a substrate for aromatase at all. This is where all the studies showing how terrible nandrolone is for the heart and brain come into question, as those negative outcomes found in the data may not have been so drastic if an exogenous source of estrogen was co-administered. The same dosage of flutamide was unable to fully offset the neurotoxicity of testosterone at supraphysiological dosages without Arimidex present. Once testosterone dosages exceed physiologic concentrations, the vulnerability to neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity skyrockets. Too much of anything in the body is going to be bad, and testosterone is not exempt from this just because its the bioidentical hormone we naturally produce and aromatize into estrogen. The Aromatization Of Androgens Into Estrogen Is What Regulates Neurotoxicity Reflecting on the data with and without an aromatase inhibitor we can see quite clearly that estrogen is what facilitates neuroprotection, not testosterone. Many assume that testosterone is a unique androgen that binds to AR in some special way that's going to protect the brain and other steroids are going to destroy the brain. I don't think it's as cut and dry as that. I think it's pretty clear in the data that with anastrozole co-administered the neuroprotective effect is wiped out, and without anastrozole there is a neuroprotective effect. What is the difference between aromatase being inhibited and aromatase not being inhibited? It is the estrogen level in the body. If you have a sufficient amount of estrogen to balance out androgens in the body, you get a good stable level of neuroprotection, which is reflected in how our body regulates endogenous androgen aromatization as is. But, if you have a supraphysiological level of androgens, or inhibit aromatase from providing the estrogen needed to carry out necessary functions in the body, neurotoxicity spikes up regardless of the fact that it is testosterone being evaluated, not a non-bioidentical synthetic anabolic steroid. This all circles back to the rationale behind using a testosterone base on cycle, or having a sufficient source of exogenous estrogen if you are deficient. It also reinforces that aromatase inhibitors are horrible for you if used unnecessarily. My Stance On Aromatase Inhibitors You would be well served by doing whatever you can to avoid using aromatase inhibitors. If you even need an aromatase inhibitor in the first place you're likely either using too much testosterone to begin with (or other aromatizing steroids), you're too fat (more fat = more aromatase), your diet sucks, your lifestyle choices are poor, or you're injecting too infrequently. Or you might have a genetic polymorphism that results in subpar sex hormone metabolism. At the end of the day, the likelihood that you would need an AI to handle a truly therapeutic dose of testosterone if you've optimized everything is extremely low. In a bodybuilding context at supraphysiological dosages, I also think that in most cases using an AI just so you can use "too high" of a testosterone dose is a poor strategy. Should You Take Exogenous Estrogen To Prevent Neurotoxicity And Cardiotoxicity Just because estrogen is what provides neuroprotection, not testosterone, it absolutely does not mean that you should start popping your girlfriend's birth control pills like candy. Unopposed estrogen in the body is carcinogenic. There is a reason why the first go to treatments for breast cancer are SERMs and aromatase inhibitors. Also, estrogen does not provide neuroprotection in a dose dependent manner. There is a sweet spot for everything in the body, and too much of anything is going to be bad. A 4-day pretreatment with low concentrations 0.01 μM (10 nM) of 17β-estradiol was substantially neuroprotective against NMDA toxicity. However, you can clearly see that there was not a dose dependent decrease in neurotoxicity in this study. Neuroprotection was significantly lower with 1 μM 17β-estradiol than with the much lower dosage of 0.01 μM 17β-estradiol. More is not better with anything in the body. The body has a tightly regulated system in place whereby a certain amount of estrogen is needed for physiologic functions. Too much estrogen without enough androgens can result in cancer development, gynecomastia (gyno), and a myriad of other issues. Too little estrogen and excessive androgens can result in cardiovascular disease, neuronal death, and a myriad of other issues. So, if you are using an androgen without a sufficient amount of opposing estrogen to balance it out, you will not only be inhibiting muscle growth and fat loss, but you will be putting your body in an even more quickly deteriorating state of health than you would have already been in regardless simply as a result of supraphysiological androgen levels. If you are using a TRT dose of testosterone, you would be best served by not unnecessarily inhibiting aromatase. Also, if you are using an anabolic steroid that is not a potent substrate for aromatase, you would be best served by adding a testosterone base or a source of adequate estrogen to your cycle. The interesting thing to evaluate would be whether all of the anabolic steroids previously described by the literature as horrendous for the heart and brain would still be described as such if an adequate dosage of exogenous estrogen was used in conjunction with them in the corresponding studies. It certainly opens the mind up to potential hormone replacement therapy alternatives, hence my experimentation in the past with Trestolone monotherapy, low dose Nandrolone with exogenous estradiol, and SARMs with exogenous estradiol.

No, growth hormone (GH) cannot cause permanent hair loss. However, it can cause temporary shedding. Let's clarify the difference between androgenic alopecia and temporary shedding. Androgenic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, is the acceleration of hair follicle miniaturization facilitated via androgen receptor activation, which is what most guys experience throughout their lives.…
Bodybuilding To Get Women Vs Bodybuilding To Compete In this day and age of social media, if you follow bodybuilding you probably follow a lot of fitness models, as well as people who compete in physique, classic physique, or bodybuilding. Using these social media presences as inspiration creates an illusion that the ideal physique for men is 200 pounds diced as a minimum, and that men's physique competitors are likely the minimum level of muscularity necessary for a maxed out physique.…
This week Meagan tells us about her fall marathon, and some new changes in her life, plus we talk more about hormones and how they affect us. How hormones affect us and what we can do to optimize them Effect of sleep on hormones: Partial loss of sleep increases cortisol, which could promote the development of insulin-resistance Animals faced with food shortage or starvation sleep less;[8] conversely, animals subjected to total sleep deprivation for prolonged periods of time increase their food intake markedly.[ Sleep restriction was associated with reductions in leptin (the appetite suppressant) and elevations in ghrelin (the appetite stimulant) and increased hunger and appetite, especially an appetite for foods with high-carbohydrate contents. Sleep loss can affect your libido: chronic sleep deprivation, which can occur even if you get a solid six hours a night (the majority of adults need at least seven), can lower levels of testosterone—the sex drive hormone—in both men and women. It can affect your mood: chronic sleep debt may also lead to long-term mood disorders like depression and anxiety. Effect of physical activity on hormones Studies indicate a strong link between exercise and hormone levels. Physical activity has a positive impact on several hormones that influence your mood, metabolism and body composition. These include: Testosterone, Estrogen, Human growth hormone (HGH), Ghrelin, Leptin, Thyroid hormones, Insulin, and many others. Weight training specifically has been shown to increase testosterone and growth hormone levels. Exercise also improves insulin sensity, especially high-intensity training, but any form of exercise has a positive impact on insulin levels. Effect of sun exposure on hormones Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin. Serotonin is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. Without enough sun exposure, your serotonin levels can dip. Low levels of serotonin are associated with a higher risk of major depression with seasonal pattern (formerly known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD). Exposure to the ultraviolet-B radiation in the sun’s rays causes a person’s skin to create vitamin D. According to WHO, getting anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes of sunlight on your arms, hands, and face 2-3 times a week is enough to enjoy the vitamin D-boosting benefits of the sun. Note that the sun must penetrate the skin. Wearing sunscreen or clothing over your skin won’t result in vitamin D production. Effect of stress on hormones The long-term activation of the stress-response system — and the subsequent overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones — can disrupt almost all your body's processes. This puts you at increased risk of numerous health problems, including: Anxiety, Depression, Digestive problems, Headaches, Heart disease, Sleep problems, Weight gain, Memory and concentration impairment Effect of cholesterol on hormones Cholesterol occurs in every cell of the body, and since in all human bodies it is stored in the adrenal glands, it has a vital role in synthetizing those steroid hormones, which are produced by the adrenals. Cholesterol is synthesized in the liver and hence, drugs which inhibit liver’s production of cholesterol have a very damaging effect upon the proper production of hormones. Cholesterol deficiency can cause lower level of growth hormone, which may trigger some symptoms of disturbed health status, such as: Limited movements, Lack of growth, Muscle cramps, and Kidney problems and failures. Androgenic hormones, such as testosterone (which plays a role in sexual function and athletic performance), are also influenced by cholesterol synthetized in the body. Progesterone has a role of regulating women’s menstrual cycles and as a gestation hormone. Deficiency of cholesterol causing limited amount of progesterone increases the risk of having irregular menstrual cycles and miscarriage. Decreasing levels of cholesterol will cause a deficit of vitamin D level in our body, resulting in bone problems and other growth issues. Effect of alcohol on hormones Alcohol interferes with the hormones that regulate glucose levels. It inhibits glucose production while alcohol is being metabolized, augments insulin secretion, causing temporary hypoglycemia, and impairs the hormonal response to hypoglycemia with heavy consumption. Chronic heavy drinking can increase the body's glucose levels. Alcohol can reduce the body's responsiveness to insulin, cause glucose intolerance, and increase secretion of glucagon and other hormones that raise glucose levels. Studies have found that chronic heavy drinking can cause glucose intolerance in both healthy individuals and alcoholics with cirrhosis of the liver. Alcohol also impairs the function of sex hormones. Alcohol can impair the adequate functioning of the testes and ovaries and result in hormonal deficiencies, sexual dysfunction, and infertility. In premenopausal women, chronic heavy drinking contributes to many reproductive disorders, including:cessation of menstruation, irregular menstrual cycles, menstrual cycles without ovulation, early menopause, and risk of spontaneous abortions. Although most of the above reproductive problems were found in women who were alcoholics, some were also found in women considered social drinkers. Keeping hormonal balance As you can see, not only do hormones have a profound effect on virtually every aspect of our health and wellbeing, our lifestyle has a profound effect on the proper functioning of our hormones. This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg for how important hormone function is in our bodies and our lives. Our sleep, our nutrition, and our lifestyle are so critical to keeping our hormones in balance and keeping us healthy inside and out.
This is a special relaunch of The Essential Boomer Podcast so I want to share with you a great topic that can be of immense benefit to you, and everybody else who listens. Therefore, I have chosen to share with you the awe and wonder of…. Sulforaphane... Okay, now don't get all bleary-eyed on me now. I promise that if you listen to, or read, this whole podcast that you will be consuming sulforaphane within a week. So hang in here with me. It will be worth it. Now, What if I were to tell you that there is a natural food supplement available that has been researched extensively in animal AND human studies that is shown to be one of, if not the, most powerful NATURALLY OCCURRING anti-inflammatory AND anti-oxidizing substances known to exist? And... what if I told you that this substance has been shown to significantly lessen your chances of getting cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury and depression among many others? And…what if I told you that this same substance has been shown to successfully treat many of these serious conditions if you already are struggling with them? And… what if I told you that this supplement can significantly affect both your quality of life and your lifespan? And…what if I told you that this supplement is readily available in your supermarket or that you can easily and quickly grow your own with a minimal investment of just a few pennies a week? I bet I have your attention now. Well, all that is true. That supplement is called sulforaphane and the best source for this amazing compound is from cruciferous vegetables. Yup, Cruciferous veggies. These include: Arugula Bok Choy Broccoli Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Cauliflower Collard Greens Kale Kohlrabi Maca Mizuna Mustard Greens Radish Rutabaga Turnip Watercress Wasabe, YES wasabi! And ... broccoli sprouts We'll talk a lot more about broccoli sprouts in a bit. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Yea, yea. I know that a diet with veggies are healthy and good for you and all that blah blah blah. I thought that this was going to be about something truly powerful." Au contraire mon frere… I'm talking about a lot more than just a healthy diet with veggies. I'm talking about a very powerful substance for the prevention and treatment of the diseases that are game-enders for people like you and me. Stay with me here… First, Let's take a broad look at some of the studies involving cruciferous veggies. Back 2011 there was a study published in the American Journal of Clinical nutrition that showed that the people in the top 20% eating the most vegetables had a 16% reduction in their chances of dying from all non-accident causes. That covers a lot of physical causes of death. Still, no big epiphany, right? 16% meh... BUT, if we look at the top 20% of Americans that were consumers of cruciferous vegetables then this number goes to 22%. Not bad eh? That's just the very tip of the iceberg. Cruciferous veggies and cancer Men who ate three or more servings per week of cruciferous vegetables show a 41% decrease in their risk of prostate cancer. In another study, men who ate 2 or more ½ cup servings of broccoli each week saw a 51% reduction of bladder cancer, compared to the low broccoli intake group. It even benefits smokers. People who smoked cigarettes and consumed 4.5 servings of raw cruciferous vegetables PER MONTH had a 55% reduction in lung cancer risk compared to the ones who consumed less than 2.5 servings per month. There are also studies that show that women who consume 1 – 2 servings per day of cruciferous veggies have a 40% reduction in the risk of breast cancer compared to those who consume 1 serving or less per week. In another study, people with bladder cancer, who consumed at least an average of 3.9 servings of raw broccoli per month, saw a 57% reduction in bladder cancer mortality and a 43% reduction in overall mortality rate, compared to those that had one serving per month. Obviously, there is something very interesting and powerful going on with cruciferous veggies. But what? I'm going to get a bit geeky for a bit here so stick with me. All cruciferous veggies contain substances called glucosinolates. One of these glucosinolates is called glucoraphanin. When the glucoraphanin in the veggie is lightly cooked, chewed or crushed it changes, with the help of an enzyme, to become what is called an isothiocyanate. Sulforaphane is one of the isothiocyanates, that has received a lot of scientific scrutiny because of its amazing potency. In technical terms, sulforaphane is one of the most potent activators of the NRF2 genetic pathway which regulates over 200 different genes, many of which are anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. So, they are responsible for de-activating many harmful compounds within your body. To you and me, this means that it affects a lot very important processes that directly affect our immune systems and how we age. Broccoli sprouts contain the highest concentrations of glucoraphanin, which becomes sulforaphane. It has 100 times more of this precursor than broccoli. Now if you're eyes are crossed that will be pretty much be it for the hyper-geeky talk It's important to say here that a lot of the studies with sulforaphane has been done on animals so we have to be careful not to use them as absolute proof that they'll work for people. But, there is a fast-growing list of studies on humans with sulforaphane that show great promise for replicating the impressive results found in the animal studies. The bottom line is the sulforaphane, found in cruciferous veggies, can significantly reduce your risk of cancer, along with many other diseases. One way that it does this is by preventing and repairing damage to your DNA. One of the amazing properties of sulforaphane is that it is able to selectively target and kill cancer cells, while having very little effect on the non-cancerous cells. Sulforaphane and cancer Sulforaphane kills colorectal cancer cells, breast cancer cells, cervical cancer cells, oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, liver cancer cells, leukemia cells and prostate cancer cells. There are several studies looking at the effect of sulforaphane in men with prostate cancer. In one study, men given sulforaphane decreased their PSA doubling rate by 86% compared to the placebo group. 86%! Guys, are you hearing that? Sulforaphane has been shown to be very effect a deactivating and removing carcinogens from the body, such as benzene, which is associated with air pollution, automobile exhaust and cigarette smoke. Studies have also shown how sulforaphane has demonstrated the remarkable ability to prevent the growth of tumors as well as slowing the growth of existing tumors in animal and people. Hell, sulforaphane has been shown to actually remove cancer cells from the body. Multiple studies show that three to five servings of sulforaphane per week, in the form of cruciferous veggies, is able to reduce your risk of cancer by 30 to 40%. Wow. I'll talk more about portions and servings in a bit. The bottom line is that sulforaphane can significantly decrease your chances of getting cancer and if you do have cancer it can significantly and positively affect the progression of the cancer. How about the effects of sulforaphane on heart disease? Many studies have show that the consumption of sulforaphane can significantly lower many of the common risk factors for cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke. Sulforaphane has been shown to lower the LDL cholesterol and increase the HDL cholesterol in humans. It has also been shown to decrease blood pressure in rats with hypertension. It also has been shown to protect the heart against oxidative stress and reduced the heart damage after heart attacks in rats. One of the driving factors for heart disease, as well as many other diseases is inflammation. Inflammation Inflammation, and the bio-markers it produces, is the single most important predictor of successful aging and cognition. Sulforaphane has been shown in multiple studies to have a significant effect on inflammation in humans. Through this mechanism sulforaphane has been shown to protect against hardening of the arteries along with inhibiting blood clot formation in rats. Effects on brain behavior Inflammation has also been shown to adversely affect the brain. Sulforaphane has been shown to cross the blood/brain barrier and therefore has a direct affect on the metabolic processes within the brain. There are studies using sulforaphane in young men with autism that show that sulforaphane improved autistic behavior checklist scores and improved social interaction, abnormal behavior and verbal communication. Another study showed that sulforaphane was able to improve cognitive impairment in small group of medicated patients with schizophrenia. Can sulforaphane help me if I get the flu? It appears so. In human studies sulforaphane increased the human antiviral response as well as reducing the amount of virus with the body. It was also shown to help prevent HIV infection. How about protection from bacteria? Does sulforaphane have antibiotic properties? Yup. In one study, sulforaphane was able to inhibit 23 out of 28 tested bacterial and fungal species. Sulforaphane has been shown to increase the antimicrobial processes in humans. How about Depression? There is a lot of evidence that nutrition places a large role in depression. Again, inflammation has been shown to play a causal role in depression. Sulforaphane was able to illicit the anti-inflammation properties of the brain and in conjunction, the symptoms of depression, found in mice. It was shown to be more effective then Prozac. Yes, these were mice and we need to wait for human studies to claim the same result in people. But it is very promising seeing that we both use the same metabolic process in inflammation and the resulting depression. What about the effect of sulforaphane on neuro-degenerative diseases? Brain inflammation and high oxidative stress are very prominent in neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease so the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties of Sulforaphane appear to have a positive effect on these diseases. Sulforaphane has also been shown to increase dopamine levels, reduce tremors and tremors in mice genetically altered to replicate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It has also been shown to increase spatial working memory and working memory in mice injected with chemicals that cause them to experience the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. And It has been shown to clear aggregates in mice induced to have the symptoms of Huntington's disease. Traumatic Brain Injury has a strong association with inflammation of the brain and studies have shown sulforaphane increases the brains ability to heal itself while also reducing inflammation. Sulforaphane has also been shown to protect against seizures in rats. In studies with rats, sulforaphane was shown to significantly inhibit both the development and severity of MS-like disease symptoms thus decreasing the disease progression and demyelination in the spinal cord. Can sulforaphane provide any benefits for people with osteoporosis? It is looking very promising. Sulforaphane has been shown to increase bone production and volume by about 20% in mice. It appears to do this by increasing the functionality of the osteoclasts, the cells that produce more bone while reducing the activity of the osteoblasts, the cells that dissolve your bone cells. Can sulforaphane protect my liver? Yes! In a human study with men that had fatty livers, sulforaphane improved liver function over the control group. It has been shown to protect the liver from a several liver diseases caused by alcohol, drugs, toxic chemicals and high-caloric diets. How about my kidneys? Yes again. Sulforaphane has been shown, in studies with animals prevent inflammation and kidney damage from cisplatin, a drug used in chemotherapy. Would you like some natural protection from the damaging rays of the sun? Sulforaphane again. Yep. It has been shown to provide protection against both UVA and UVB sunburn and skin damage. It can even protect your skin against blistering. Sulforaphane sounds too good to be true. Next you're gonna tell me that it can help with my baldness… Well… Sulforaphane may also be able to help you to increase your hair growth. Androgenic alopecia is the most common kind of hair loss. There's a study that shows, in mice, a fairly strong response to sulforaphane for re-growing lab-induced hair loss. What about negative effects? What would happen if I consumed too much sulforaphane? Well, there was some concern about creating iodine deficiency leading to goiter, but that only seems to be a possible for people with a very limited intake of iodine intake to start with. In a randomized, double-blind studies on humans consuming approximately the amount of sulforaphane that was used in many other animal and human studies it was shown that there were zero people who experienced negative effects on their thyroid or any liver toxicity. So it certainly seems like the potential benefits of sulforaphane far outweigh any potential harm. Growing your own broccoli sprouts! Okay, so by now you are probably ready to get your hands on some broccoli sprouts tout suite. Luckily, broccoli sprout seeds are easily available and growing the sprouts in a wide-mouth quart mason jar is a very efficient, safe, and easy way to keep a constant supply of them on hand. You can pick up wide-mouth, quart, mason jars from a variety of sources very cheaply. I would make sure to have 4 – 6 of these on hand to ensure that you always have a fresh supply of your beloved broccoli sprouts available. You should also pick up a wide-mouth screen lid for your mason jars to enable you to easily rinse and drain the broccoli sprouts during your sprouting. These can be had for abut $3-$4 apiece on Amazon. You can jury-rig your own screens with different screening materials but I like the stainless steel ones because they are easy to clean and won't absorb any bacteria or water, like some netting material might. You can also pick up a 2 ½ lb back of seeds from Amazon and other sources for around $40 or so. This amount is enough to keep you up to your neck in broccoli sprouts for months. So, once you get all your materials together it's time to actually grow those little puppies. I suggest processing one jar per day to make it so you will have a crop of sprouts available every day. There are a lot of videos on YouTube showing you how to grow broccoli sprouts. There are some minor variations but the method that I use is as follows: 1 – Add 2 tablespoons of the broccoli sprout seeds to an empty mason jar 2 – Add fresh water to about ½ to ¾ high in the jar 3 - Attach the screened lid on the top and then place it in a cupboard or cool, dark place to set overnight. 4 – You will then set up a routine where you rinse the seeds and baby sprouts twice a day with 2 rinses of fresh water. I always let the water fill to overflowing through the screen and then swirl it around a bit and then let the water completely drain out. This prevents the growth of bacteria and mold. 5 – Then I store the inverted jars at about a 45 degree angle in a kitchen strainer that I have that fits over ½ of my sink in the kitchen. Some people use a small bowel and others get a fancy dancy stand to hold it at the 45 degree angle. This will allow for adequate light and drainage for the sprouts. You will end up with 4 – 6 inverted jars with sprouts of varying degrees of growth. It's pretty cool. 6 – Keep up the above routine until around day six or seven when you have a jar packed with green broccoli sprouts. They are then ready to consume or freeze. Me, I freeze mine for several reasons. First, it allows me to safely store the sprouts for future use without worrying about them going bad. Second, it allows me to easily get ahead of my almost daily consumption of the sprouts. So, now you have a quart jar jam-packed with wonderful looking sprouts ready for action. What now? How many sprouts should you consume for an effective dose to get all the benefits? According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick, there is a wide range with the amount of sulforaphane that is used in the various studies. Using the quart mason jar method, each jar filled with raw broccoli sprouts yields about 120 milligrams of sulforaphane. This is within the single dose range that show beneficial effects in most of the studies. It's important to know that this is based on the raw sprouts. Now, if you consume the sprouts raw, then you must either chew them or crush them to enable the process of converting the sprouts to sulforaphane. You can significantly increase the bio-availability, and thus the total amount of sulforaphane by gently boiling or steaming the raw sprouts for no more than 10 minutes at 158 degrees F. Any longer or hotter and you will significantly decrease the sulforaphane. This heating can increase the bio-availability of sulforaphane by up to 2-3 times the amount found in the raw sprouts. You can then just drink it like a tea, etc. But, and this is a big but, There is another great option for you - Freezing the broccoli sprouts! If you freeze the broccoli sprouts and then create a smoothie where you add them while they are still frozen, and then drink them right away, then you will increase the bio-availability of the sulforaphane by 2 – 3 times. That in-turn greatly increases how many doses you can get from a single one-quart mason jar meaning that a single quart jar full of sprouts can easily make 2 – 3 single doses. This is great news because the broccoli sprouts have a flavor that is not enjoyed by most people. I'm kind of weird. I like it. But then again, I've always been a goat when it comes to veggies. To me they taste like radishes, so having a smoothie made only of coconut water and frozen broccoli sprouts tastes just like a radish-flavored drink. So I like it but Laura, my way better half has to actually brush her teeth right after consuming it because of the repugnant flavor so you may want to experiment with different combinations of fruits or veggies in your smoothie to make it more palatable. Here is a big-time tip for making sure that your frozen sprouts don't get ice-burned and stay fresh-like. I use a FOODSAVER vacuum Sealer to store all my sprouts. They sell for about $175 on amazon. It makes it very convenient and easy to store individual doses in your freezer. I divide all the sprouts from one mason jar into two portions and then seal them with the Foodsaver and toss them in the freezer. Each portion is enough for 2 to 3 people. So. Are you now ready to grow your own sprouts? Go for it. You will be amazed at how good you feel. Your body will thank you. And do you really want to pack some power to your diet? Just add some cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower and Brussel sprouts to your weekly diet. Talk about health insurance that is also delicious. Wow. IMPORTANT!

The use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) happens in just about every sport. The problem is, most current research is a) limited, and b) only done on males. This leaves a gaping hole when it comes to female athletes and drug use. In this episode, I talk with researcher, educator, and doctoral student Victoria Felkar on the implications of AAS on female athletes, if steroids can be taken safely, and some of the more intricate workings around females and anabolic drugs.
