You're doing everything “right”… but the belly fat won't budge, cravings rage on , and your body feels like it's working against you.In this episode, we reveal a hidden hormonal player that could be at the root of it all: androgens — the group of “male” hormones that can quietly wreak havoc in the female body
Send us a text- On-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreMen's brains are configured very differently when it comes to a response to sex. There are 3 areas to know about - which are over twice the capacity of the female:The Medial Pre-optic Area (MPOA): Is an area of the Hypothalamus that regulates various physiological and behavioural processes. The MPOA is packed with twice as many neurones and density. Since it has a larger capacity in males, this is why males tend to be more visually stimulated and do more 'objectification'.The Third Interstitial nucleus of the Anterior Hypothalamus (INAH 3) - the seat of human sexuality - also contains twice as many neurones in males and occupies a greater volume than females, regardless of age.The Amygdala is also twice as big in males. It is the brain's command and control area. (I call it the 'Smoke alarm in the kitchen which goes off when you burn toast'); the Amygdala detects loss of homeostasis and triggers a 'Fight/Fight/Freeze' protective response in the Limbic brain.All of these processes are reactive to testosterone. Remember that Testosterone is (on average) 20 times more in males than in females. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) binds and carries/transports sex hormones like Oestrogen, Testosterone and Androgens to the organs where they are needed. Therefore regulating the proportion of sex hormones that are available to the body. Different events (like a disease process) can cause SHBG levels to rise and become too high or too low. Women have 13 times more SHBG than men.Essentially, a mismatch between males and females (in the working of the brain) during sex. Listen to the rest of the audio to piece together how this all impacts the personality of the sexes during hook ups and arousal.Get some help from The Kairos Centre. See what you cannot see.

Ever feel like your body is working against you no matter how “healthy” you try to be?That's exactly where I found myself—exhausted, bloated, moody, wired yet tired, and frustrated that nothing was working. So I decided to dig deeper. I ran a DUTCH hormone test on myself… and let's just say, the results were humbling.In this raw and honest episode, I'm walking you through what my DUTCH test revealed—and why I now lovingly refer to my hormones as a bit of a “dumpster fire.”Here's what I discovered:

Integrative rheumatologist Jill Weintraub MD explains how hi-tech medicines can be supported by lifestyle measures—including diet, stress reduction, and specific supplements. She's the co-author of "Strategies to Treat Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis: Everything You Wish Your Doctor Had Told You," where she offers comprehensive recovery plans with patient vignettes. She first details conventional options now available for autoimmunity, including the new biologic drugs. Dr. Weintraub discusses how diet can be deployed to reduce dependency on medications; the Mediterranean, Paleo, and vegan diets have been found helpful, as has intermittent fasting. Supplements like curcumin, omega 3s, and Boswellin may help tamp down inflammation; Adaptogens may counter the effects of stress; and probiotics and “gut-sealers” may address altered intestinal permeability. Androgens—especially DHEA—have proven helpful in lupus. A particular focus for Dr. Weintraub is patients who have signs of autoimmune susceptibility prior to formal diagnosis, who are ideal candidates for early intervention with natural modalities to forestall the development of full-blown disease.
What's the deal with statin drugs and “high cholesterol”? Even doctors are starting to raise questions. They say that “high cholesterol” is anything over 200 total, but where does this number come from? Is there evidence that cholesterol over 200 actually leads to heart disease? Why do we need cholesterol, and is it possible for it to get too low? On this episode of Vitality Radio Jared arms you with the information you need to decide what to do, if anything, about your “high” cholesterol. Pharmaceutical companies often develop drugs that target specific symptoms by interfering with the body's natural processes. These medications can be effective in providing temporary relief from symptoms, but they don't usually address the underlying causes of a condition. This is called suppressive medicine, and such treatments may offer short-term benefits at the cost of long-term health. In this series of episodes on suppressive medicine, Jared aims to help you understand the ways in which these drugs work and what natural alternatives there are that work WITH your body's natural systems to address the root cause and rebalance the body.

Oh - yuk! Must we?Well - not preaching to you, but knowing the science done by some very clever people, will help you. Remember what this thing called Therapy is about - certainly Therapy from The Kairos Centre; all about moving as much from the unconscious, into the conscious - then you get a chance to go after what you can now better see and understand - in order to effect change. Get it!Here it go; and don't shoot the messenger please:At puberty, males Androgen levels (such as Testosterone) explode. Particularly between aged 13 To 15. It is 10 to 30 times more. Females Androgen levels only double. So, after puberty it is more difficult to reason with a male than with a female. In otherwards it is better to try reasoning with the female than the male, as the female is likely to be more receptive because of her reduced levels of Androgens - such as Testosterone. Testosterone is a sex seeking hormone. Age 17 is the period of maximum testosterone. Therefore, around that age six times the number of males become addicted to porn than young females........(All credit to Joe Malone PhD, CFE, LWMC, CPT, The Sexual Integrity Scientist, https://www.drjoemalone.com/, Author: Battles of the Sexes, Founder: Sex IQ, https://www.sexiq.org/)Presented by The Kairos Centre: bit.ly/pornaddictionhelpThe Kairos Centre created what is probably the world's first comprehensive Online webinar Sex, Porn, Love Addiction video-on-demand Recovery Programme, where you discover the real, authentic you; get to like you and positioned to become the best that you can be and on the journey, Recover and gain Sobriety from Sex, Porn, Love Addiction -being used by many hundreds through the world.Bringing colour back to life - without shame.Gary McFarlane BA, LLM, Dip, CertsGary (was formally a Solicitor for many years); is a Relate trained and experienced Relationship counsellor, Mediator and undertakes Sex Therapy & Sex Addiction treatment all of which are undertaken by various online modes including webcam such as zoom, Bilateralbase, with clients from all parts of the country and abroad.

It's hard to explain to those who haven't competed what it is about bodybuilding that can grip people and transform them. The near-spiritual experiences that some physique athletes gain through prep and competition are something shared regardless of division, federation, natural, or enhanced. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mike Israetel, not to talk sports science like you're used to, but to talk about what lies at the heart of the sport. Mike has been pushing forward through multiple seasons in his attempt to become an IFBB pro bodybuilder, an incredibly challenging feat that requires tremendous sacrifice and drive. What fuels a journey like that? What does a competitor experience - highs and lows? What do they learn, and how do they change? You might be surprised as well, that despite the different paths Dr. Helms and Dr. Israetel took as competitors, that at the heart of their experience lie many similar threads.

Get ready to shatter stereotypes as we journey through the controversial domain of testosterone and steroids in sports with our high-profile guest, Rick Collins Esq., an internationally recognized legal authority on everything from sports nutrition and bodybuilding supplements to performance-enhancing substances. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to challenge preconceived notions, bringing you face to face with the surprising reality that 80% of non-medical steroid users are not athletes but individuals seeking physical enhancements for purely cosmetic purposes. Timeline:0:00 – Introduction – the 1996 publication on Androgens – it's not as harmful as folks make it out to be in otherwise healthy males.4:43 – Remember 100-meter sprinter Ben Johnson? Why is testosterone maligned? What are the socio-cultural aspects of this?7:14 – Testosterone as a metaphor for masculinity; traditional masculinity is maligned.7:39 - American Psychological Association in 2019 – Traditional masculinity is toxic9:05 – Does bodybuilding contribute to the stigma of anabolic steroids?9:20 – Rick was the only lawyer that lifted weights when he was in law school. C'mon lawyers, lift some weights!12:21 - Who actually uses anabolic steroids and why? Cyclists? Pro Athletes? Not so fast…80% of users in a non-medical context are using it for cosmetic purposes. 18:00 – T helps body composition but is frowned upon; juxtapose that with cosmetic procedures that women routinely take that likely carry greater risk. A double standard?23:47 – Rick covers the legality of the possession and sale of androgens.28:28 – ACSM promoted total BS about androgens back in the 70s and 80s.32:57 – Gender dysphoria (DSM-5) and muscle dysmorphia (bigorexia nervosa). An interesting analogy, as Rick opines.41:15 – Bodybuilders and Transgender individuals – what do they have in common?46:18 – Can testosterone turn Democrats red?Rick Collins, Esq. is an internationally recognized legal authority in the field of sports nutrition, bodybuilding supplements, and performance-enhancing substances.

Does creatine cause hair loss? What about bloating? In this episode, Greg and Lyndsey bust myths and misconceptions about creatine, one of the most popular supplements on the market. Greg also explains how creatine actually works to increase muscle growth and discusses myths related to creatine dosing (is 5g per day enough?). Then, they play a few listener calls about creatine and answer questions about creatine's impact on individual genetic potential for muscularity, different forms of creatine, and the interaction between caffeine and creatine.Want to get your question answered on the show?

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Different hairs on your body have different lengths of growth phases (for example, hair on the head will grow for 2-8 years, and hair on the eyebrows will fall out every few months) The rate of hair growth is relatively stable across hair – what differs is the length of the growth phaseMicroneedling procedures, PRP injections, and Minoxidil all center around the general idea of increasing blood flow, increasing oxygen and delivery of nutrients, or increasing inflammation just enough locally to set off a cascade of regrowthCombination treatments that combine a mechanical stimulus (such as microneedling) with chemical stimulus (such as minoxidil) will always be better than either alone But be realistic, it's unlikely to grow a full head of hair again if you are baldPeople are highly individual in response and side effects to hair growth treatments – start with minimum effective dose and be patient with experimentation timeAndrogens (especially DHT) are potent inhibitors of IGF-1 and cyclic AMP which stimulate hair growthRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I explain the biology of hair, hair growth, why hair growth slows and what cause hair to stop growing and/or “fall out.” I discuss the essential role of hair stem cells and other supporting biological factors for healthy hair growth. Then I describe various approaches (mechanical and chemical) to slow hair loss by increasing blood flow to hair stem cells, including minoxidil, tadalafil, PRP, microneedling, Botox and ketoconazole treatments. I also discuss how age-related hormone changes cause hair loss and explain the effectiveness of treatments such as caffeine, saw palmetto, growth hormone, finasteride and dutasteride. For all hair growth options, I describe potential side effects, how soon to expect results and the amount of hair regrowth to expect and I highlight effective combination treatments for hair regrowth even in hair “dead” (bald) zones. For many listeners, thinning, brittle hair, or pattern baldness are a source of anxiety and stress. This episode explains the mechanisms underlying hair regrowth tools and the science behind them so that you can evaluate potential treatments and associated side-effect profiles and select the best one(s) for you.

Next in this series on hormone testing we are taking a look at testosterone and androgen levels! Testosterone is important for women and often overlooked as a male specific hormones. There is even a type of PCOS that has elevated levels of testosterone, so it is important to identify if your levels are too high or too low. Testosterone issues can manifest as energy issues, acne, low libido, estrogen imbalance, agression/anger issues, and more. This episode covers a number of things to look out for if you have a testosterone imbalance and how to turn it around! DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Dr Jordan B Peterson sits down with 18 year old de-transitioner Chloe Cole. Chloe was indoctrinated, affirmed, and set on an irreparable path at the age of 15, and now finds herself abandoned by the community and the doctors that lead her over the edge. Chloe Cole is an 18 year old de-transitioner from The Central Valley of California. She started her transition at 12 years old, puberty blockers and testosterone at 13 and a double mastectomy at 15 years old.

This is the third episode in my four part DUTCH series and I wanted to address androgens. It is so important to look at the wide range of hormones in the female body together, because everything is connected and builds off one another. Androgen levels play a huge role in your overall health and we start by testing DHEA. This episode will cover more about androgens we test and what your levels can tell you!

Show Summary: "If women aren't ovulating, isn't it counterintuitive to put them on a pill that reinforces non-ovulation? When they think they're on their menstrual cycle, it's not a period but a chemically induced bleed by synthetic hormones.”Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the nastiest of all hormonal imbalances. Yet in the absence of ovary cysts, doctors would rule it out - even if some of its glaring symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, unwanted weight gain, acne, and chest and facial hair have already appeared. And with the meteoric rise of crazy hormonal issues happening as of latter years, it's easy for women to feel alienated and misunderstood. Pills have been a normal prescription to manage PCOS, but did you know that it disrupts your monthly ovulation cycle and what you're only experiencing could be ‘fake bleed'? Our ‘unicorn' guest, Meg Richichi, is a rare PCOS expert who doesn't only deal with its symptoms - she gets to the bottom of it. Her fascinating backstory of world travels gave her a balanced East and West perspective. Plus, her reveal on the basic cause of PCOS and how it's mishandled by mainstream medicine is mind-blowing. Let's put an end to hormonal imbalances. It's time to heal and understand PCOS by listening to Episode 39 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more! Exceptional Highlights:Elevated androgen is a hallmark symptom. Most receive diuretics that reduce testosterone but do not cure PCOS.Women with PCOS are at higher-risk of estrogen-related cancers. And if unresolved, it also makes them susceptible to other illnesses. Hormonal imbalance is a direct result of our bodies' inability to flush out toxins in our system. Show Highlights:How Hormones Affect Our Creativity CyclesMeg Richichi 12:49When you start paying attention to your cycle, your sense of awareness, creativity and confidence increases. Every month, you have the beautiful opportunity to give birth to something in your life aside from a baby. Cumulative Effect of Androgens and Chemical ExposuresMeg Richichi 16:54In the womb, excessive androgen from mothers is passed on through the umbilical cord. And as we grow older, the toxicity buildup from chemicals in our environment blocks the healthy lymphatic flow and drainage in our bodies. The Connection of Detoxification to Balanced HormonesJuanique 20:03Parasites harbor heavy metals and plastics. Women who have done cleansing protocols unexpectedly heal their endometriosis and begin to have normal eight-day cycles. The Red Flags of Infertility and Rough PregnancyJuanique 25:23Women who struggle getting pregnant or experience extreme morning sickness are most likely fighting with their hormones and are not getting the support that their bodies need.
