Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Kelly Caspersen, a urologist who empowers women to live their best love lives. She is a two-time author, with her latest being The Menopause Moment. In our conversation, we cover a wide range of topics, from navigating UTI purgatory and understanding the vaginal microbiome to how vaginal estrogen can dramatically reduce the risk of sepsis and death in the ICU. We unpack the evolving language of hormones- specifically progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone and we examine censorship and bias on social media, and the differences between prescribers and non-prescribers. We explore the effects of SSRIs on bone and brain health, changes in self-perception in middle age, and the effects of the baby boomer generation and the Women's Health Initiative, exposing the medical gaslighting behind the use it or lose it narrative. We also offer practical options for women who cannot take hormones, and Dr. Kelly shares her go-to supplements and those she avoids. This conversation is one of my recent favorites. Dr. Kelly's enthusiasm is contagious, and her straightforward approach makes complex topics clear, practical, and unforgettable. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why recurrent UTIs can feel like UTI purgatory How hormone terminology is evolving, and what that means for women in midlife The value of vaginal estrogen, and the potential it holds for saving women's lives How the approaches of prescribers and non-prescribers differ How SSRIs can raise the risk of bone fractures  The brain health and self-perception shifts that often occur in midlife  Why the use it or lose it belief is misleading, and how it veers into medical gaslighting How the baby boomer generation and the Women's Health Initiative still influence women's healthcare today Some alternative options for women who cannot take hormones Dr. Kelly shares her preferred supplements and those she avoids Bio:  Dr. Kelly Casperson, MD Urologist • Author • Podcaster • Women's Health Thought Leader Dr. Kelly Casperson is a board-certified urologist, best-selling author, and top-ranked international podcaster empowering women to take control of their health, hormones, and sexuality.

If you've ever struggled with bloating after eating, digestive discomfort, or wondered if your body is really absorbing all the protein and nutrients you consume, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Wade Lightheart, co-founder and president of BiOptimizers, to dive into the science of digestive enzymes and how they can transform digestion, nutrient absorption, and protein utilization. A former natural bodybuilding champion, Wade developed MassZymes after struggling with his own digestion on a high-protein diet. We cover: What EXACTLY causes bloating and poor protein digestion Why low stomach acid and declining enzyme levels with age can cause bloating and poor nutrient absorption. Clinical research on protease blends and a 2024 protein study showing improved amino acid absorption with enzyme support. A university laboratory test on MassZymes suggesting over 1,200% more amino acids released compared to digestion alone. How lipase enzymes can reduce bloating and fullness after high-fat meals. Why older adults and high-protein eaters may especially benefit from enzyme supplementation for muscle and metabolic health. If bloating, slow digestion, or protein absorption has ever held you back from feeling your best, this conversation will help you fix your bloat and unlock the full benefits of your nutrition.

Send us a textThe effects of protein restriction on metabolism, liver hormones, brain, and behavior.Episode Summary: Dr. Christopher Morrison talks about how animals sense and prioritize nutrients like protein, discussing defense mechanisms for essentials such as oxygen, water, sodium, and energy; the brain's role in detecting protein deprivation via signals like FGF21; trade-offs between growth, reproduction, and longevity under protein restriction; and reconciling high-protein diets for satiety and muscle maintenance with low-protein benefits for metabolic health and lifespan extension.About the guest: Christopher Morrison, PhD is a professor and researcher at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he has worked for over 22 years focusing on nutrition, metabolism, and chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes.Discussion Points:The body prioritizes nutrients hierarchically: oxygen and water first, then sodium, energy, and protein, with weaker defenses for carbs or fats.Animals develop specific appetites for deprived nutrients, like salt or protein, often through post-ingestive learning rather than just taste.Protein restriction (e.g., 5% vs. 20% in diets) increases food intake and energy expenditure in mice to maintain protein levels, even at the cost of extra calories.FGF21, a liver hormone, signals protein deprivation to the brain (via NTS region), driving protein-seeking behavior and metabolic changes; it's essential for low-protein responses.Protein restriction extends lifespan in lab animals by suppressing growth signals like IGF-1 and mTOR, but may impair immunity or wound healing in real-world conditions.High protein aids satiety, weight loss, and muscle building, but overconsumption may shorten lifespan; optimal intake depends on age, activity, and goals (e.g., not for pregnant or elderly).No one-size-fits-all for protein: mild restriction may benefit middle-aged sedentary people for health, while athletes need more; balance avoids excesses.Related content:M&M 106: Diet, Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Taste, Whole vs. Processed Food, Obesity & Weight Loss, Comparative Biology of Feeding Behavior | Stephen Simpson & David Raubenheimer*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

What are the top questions women are Googling about menopause? In this episode, I'm breaking down the six most searched questions about menopause and sharing the science, the myths, and the practical solutions that actually help. Because menopause isn't just something you type into a search bar, it's something you live through and you deserve more than generic answers. We cover: The very first signs and symptoms women notice when menopause begins The average age menopause starts and what influences it The most common (and surprising) symptoms no one tells you about How long menopause actually lasts and why the answer isn't simple Hormone therapy: is it safe, who should consider it, and what the research says   Blog article: https://hackmyage.com/most-common-and-uncommon-menopause-symptoms/ Podcast Uncommon Symptoms and Perimenopause Stages: https://youtu.be/o7UZcD79rN8?si=by8XD7rU4sHJ0V-J   Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here  Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Send us a textIs more HIIT always better? Dr. Angela breaks down what the science really shows—and what it doesn't—about high-intensity interval training after 40. Most trials that find big benefits use three sessions per week or fewer and consistently show improved fitness, cardiometabolic markers, and reductions in overall fat mass. But there's no direct evidence that cranking HIIT beyond that helps midlife women (or men) lose more fat, and none proving it harms hormones either. In this episode, Dr. Angela defines HIIT clearly, explains why perimenopause changes fat distribution, and lays out a balanced weekly plan: strength as the anchor, Zone 2 for your aerobic base, and HIIT used like hot sauce—powerful, not daily. Plus simple recovery guardrails to know when to pull back. Smarter training, better longevity, fewer aches.Support the showFollow me on Instagram @angelalifestylemd and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my podcast & SHARE this episode.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Cancer has been growing in your body for 8-10 years before you feel anything. While conventional doctors wait for symptoms—lumps, pain, bleeding—you're losing nearly a decade of prevention time. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, who runs one of America's largest integrative cancer centers, reveals the shocking truth: less than 1% of cancers are actually genetic. The rest are completely preventable, but medical school teaches disease management, not prevention protocols. She's developed blood tests that catch cancer before it becomes cancer, discovered why your emotions literally create disease in your body, and uses protocols to reverse what conventional medicine calls "incurable." Cancer rates are exploding in young people—this isn't wellness talk, it's life-or-death information that could save you or someone you love. In this episode, you'll learn: • Cancer's hidden 8-10 year timeline: from first abnormal cell to detectable tumor—why early intervention during this window can prevent cancer entirely, not just treat it after diagnosis • The real cancer causes: less than 1% genetic, 99% environmental factors including chronic stress, toxin exposure, and unresolved emotional trauma that keeps you in survival mode • Liquid biopsy breakthroughs: blood tests detecting circulating tumor cells years before imaging shows anything—90% accuracy in identifying cancer development before symptoms appear • Why conventional treatment fails: surgery, chemo, and radiation treat symptoms but ignore the toxic terrain that allowed cancer to develop in the first place • The emotional cancer connection: how chronic unresolved stress suppresses immune function and creates the acidic environment cancer thrives in—plus the device that identifies emotional conflicts in minutes • Advanced prevention protocols: comprehensive blood work detecting hormonal imbalances, heavy metals, and inflammatory markers that predict cancer risk years in advance • Low-dose chemotherapy revolution: using 10% conventional doses with insulin targeting and immediate detox support to maximize effectiveness while minimizing damage • The fungal theory of cancer: why medications like fenbendazole and ivermectin show anti-cancer properties and how to use them safely with proper liver protection • Personalized nutrition strategies: why there's no one-size-fits-all cancer diet and how to determine whether keto, plant-based, or other approaches work for your specific situation • Energy medicine integration: how frequency therapy, red light treatment, and cellular voltage optimization support healing at the deepest level alongside conventional treatments Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 2:31 - How Early Can Cancer Be Detected? 7:25 - The Biggest Truth About Cancer: 100% Preventable, Not Genetic 12:01 - Hormones & The Great Poisoning: Environmental Toxins Impact 17:45 - What Conventional Cancer Treatment Is Missing 27:08 - Integrative Cancer Protocols 32:04 - The Role of Emotions in Cancer 40:02 - Creating Healing Environments 45:17 - Repurposed Drugs: Fenbendazole, Ivermectin & Cancer Treatment 49:05 - Best Diets for Cancer 56:33 - Liquid Biopsies: Early Detection Technology & Prevention Focus

Dr Sarah Hill is a professor at TCU, a research psychologist, expert in women's hormones and brain science, and an author. Each month, women experience hormonal changes that go far beyond the clichés of PMS. These shifts can influence mood, stress response, and even how women relate to others. So how can recognizing these patterns make it easier for both men and women to navigate relationships when things don't feel normal? Expect to learn why hormones play such a role in psychological function, what actually happens to women during their time of the month and what a PMS brain is, if women understand what their cycle does to them, what men can learn about women's hormonal cycles and how birth control changes the brain, if oral contraceptives could be the biggest unexamined mental health experiment currently playing out, if PMS is actually a design feature rather than a flaw, and much more… Sponsors: See me on tour in America: ⁠https://chriswilliamson.live⁠ See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular Flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get the brand new Whoop 5.0 and your first month for free at https://join.whoop.com/modernwisdom Get 5 Free Travel Packs, Free Liquid Vitamin D, and more from AG1 at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Timestamps: (0:00) Introducing the Menstrual Cycle (5:30) What Women Experience During Their Cycle (20:29) The Ovulatory Shift Hypothesis: Researching the Cycle (44:05) How Do Men and Women Differ Hormonally?

You're not alone. In this episode of the National Health Association Podcast, chiropractor and hormone health expert Dr. Kendra Kautz unpacks the connection between burnout, adrenal dysfunction, and nutrition—and why a plant-forward diet is one of the most powerful foundations for recovery. Dr. Kautz shares her own journey with adrenal fatigue, explains the three phases of adrenal exhaustion, and highlights how fruits, vegetables, and whole plant foods provide the critical vitamins and minerals our stressed bodies need. From vitamin C–rich produce like bell peppers and kiwi to simple daily practices like lemon water with minerals, she shows how everyday plant-based nutrition can help rebuild depleted adrenals. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to reclaim energy, balance hormones, and support long-term health—without relying only on quick fixes or stimulants. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ The three phases of adrenal exhaustion—and how to recognize where you are ✅ How burnout shows up in the body, from sleep issues to hormone imbalances ✅ Why chronic infections and hidden stressors can keep you wired and tired ✅ How a plant-powered diet restores key nutrients (Vitamin C, magnesium, B vitamins, zinc, potassium) needed for adrenal balance ✅ The top plant foods Dr. Kautz recommends—like bell peppers, citrus, brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes ✅ Foundational supports beyond food: nervous system regulation, breathwork, and sleep hygiene ✅ Supplement insights: adaptogens, glandular support, and when to use them About Dr. Kendra Kautz Dr. Kendra Kautz is a Newport Beach–based chiropractor who specializes in hormone health, adrenal support, and integrative care. After facing her own struggles with adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalance, she now helps patients heal from burnout by addressing structural, chemical, emotional, and nutritional health together—with a strong emphasis on plant-forward eating.

Die Wechseljahre sind ein natürlicher Lebensabschnitt jeder Frau, der mit hormonellen Veränderungen einhergeht. Wie dieser Übergang erlebt wird, ist von Frau zu Frau sehr individuell. Während die einen Frauen sozusagen durch die Wechseljahre tanzen und teilweise ihr Leben nochmals so richtig umkrempeln, leiden andere in dieser Zeit unter körperlichen und psychischen Belastungen, wie Hitzewallungen, Müdigkeit, schwankenden Emotionen und Schlafstörungen. Wie einen Düfte in solchen Phasen unterstützen können, darüber spricht Simone Walther Büel in diesem Podcast mit Aromaexpertin und Heilpflanzenfachfrau Silvie Heiniger. Silvie Heiniger beantwortet ihr folgende Fragen: 01:34 Silvie wir sprechen heute über das Thema Wechseljahre bei der Frau. Diese Lebensphase wird ja von Frau zu Frau sehr unterschiedlich erlebt. Welche Spannbreite gibt es da? 03:03 Die Wechseljahre werden manchmal als Tanz der Hormone bezeichnet. Was heisst das? 04:00 Die Wechseljahre werden in drei Phasen unterteilt, Prämenopause, Perimenopause und Postmenopause. Kannst du uns etwas genauer erläutern, was die einzelnen Phasen auszeichnet und in welchem Alterszeitraum die Frauen ungefähr in den einzelnen Phasen sind? 05:36 Passende Düfte können wunderbare Begleiter sein in der Zeit der Wechseljahre. Silvie, du als Aromaexpertin kannst uns sicher erklären, weshalb unser Körper so gut auf Düfte anspricht? 07:16 Und welche Düfte sind es, die uns Frauen in den Wechseljahren besonders ansprechen und wohltuend für uns sind? 11:42 Ich sehe, da haben wir eine grosse Auswahl an Pflanzendüften, auf die wir zurückgreifen können, wenn sich bei uns Frauen auf die eine oder andere Weise die Wechseljahre bemerkbar machen oder wir unter PMS leiden. In welcher Form wendet man die ätherischen Öle an? Also gibt man z.B. einfach ein paar Tropfen in eine Duftlampe? Oder was gibt es da sonst noch für Möglichkeiten? 15:22 Eine wunderbare Sache diese Düfte. Silvie, hast du für uns Frauen in den Wechseljahren allenfalls noch weitere hilfreiche Tipps?

Have you ever felt like your body's playing tricks on you with endless fatigue, bloating, or hormone chaos? Candida overgrowth may be the sneaky culprit behind it all. Today's expert is here to fill you in on how candida links your gut health, thyroid function, and even hormones like estrogens and cortisol and his four-phase Candida protocol. In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck is joined by Dr. Michael Biamonte to discuss his naturopathic journey and the development of BioCybernetics for diagnosing imbalances. They debunk myths about candida overgrowth being protective, discuss symptoms such as cognitive issues and chemical sensitivity, and detail his four-phase Candida protocol. Additionally, discover the benefits of organic acid tests, stool tests, and calprotectin for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Don't miss this eye-opening chat.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight loss, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding our understanding of nutrition and the food industry.

Dr. Michael Biamonte's four-phase Candida protocol involves a bowel cleanse, rotating antifungals, biofilm busters, and probiotics to restore gut flora, emphasizing the need to address leaky gut for effective treatment.Accurate testing, such as organic acid tests and stool tests (as opposed to unreliable blood tests), is crucial for identifying Candida overgrowth. Markers like stool pH, fecal IgA, and calprotectin indicate its presence.QUOTES: (15:48) "You were so ahead of your time in creating a program that is now essentially what people hope AI will do in medicine." Jenn Trepeck(20:00) “Candida, just like many other things of this nature, stresses out whatever your genetic weaknesses are to the point where that's how the symptoms manifest.” Dr. Michael Biamonte(22:07) “A lot of those things we associate with the B vitamin deficiency.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS October 1st, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode examines a comprehensive narrative review analyzing fasting's profound effects on metabolic hormones and functions across 13 different studies and fasting protocols. Dr. Scott and Tommy reveal a game-changing mental approach: shift from counting down your fasting timer to counting up the powerful benefits accumulating in your body during each fast. The research demonstrates remarkable results from consistent intermittent fasting practices - 24-hour fasts performed three times weekly in women produced increased antioxidant activity, weight reduction, improved morning glucose levels, better A1C readings, and significant improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Learn how 16:8 time-restricted eating for 12 weeks dramatically enhanced multiple metabolic markers in patients with metabolic syndrome, while understanding the crucial differences between fasting effects in lean individuals versus those with excess weight. The hosts clarify testosterone concerns, explaining why lean men may see temporary decreases with extended fasting protocols (typically due to inadvertent under-eating) while overweight men experience increases through improved testicular function and reduced estrogen conversion. Discover practical strategies for building sustainable fasting habits through progressive skill development rather than perfectionist approaches, including proper electrolyte management, leveraging gut microbiome improvements, and strategic meal planning for optimal fast-breaking. This episode reframes fasting as a learnable skill requiring practice and adaptation, providing specific guidance for developing your personal fasting toolkit based on your health status, body composition, and long-term metabolic optimization goals. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Join us on our FREE hormone education session at http://midlifeconversations.com/magic   Could hormone replacement therapy actually cause cancer if your body can't detox properly? This conversation isn't about joining "Team HRT" or going completely “natural” - it's about understanding why your individual biology matters more than blanket recommendations. Triple board-certified gynecologist Dr. Anna Cabeca joins us to shatter the black-and-white thinking around hormone replacement therapy. With over 30 years of experience prescribing HRT, she's witnessed the trends come and go, but more importantly, she's developed an approach that honors what makes YOU unique. Join us as we discuss personalized treatment plans, debunk myths around HRT, and answer questions on testosterone, progesterone, and the importance of vagal tone and mental well-being during menopause. You'll discover why two women with identical menopausal symptoms might leave the doctor's office with completely different treatment plans, and why that's exactly how it should be. Dr. Anna reveals the critical factor most doctors ignore - your body's ability to detoxify hormones - and explains why this could be the difference between thriving on HRT or facing serious health consequences. You'll also learn the surprising truth about cancer risks, why your monthly cycle was doing more than you realized, and the specific hormone levels Dr. Anna recommends for optimal safety and symptom relief. This isn't another episode telling you what to do - it's about empowering you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your own body. Whether you're considering hormone replacement, currently on HRT, or committed to natural approaches, this conversation will change how you think about menopause support forever.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Anna Cabeca:    Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/thegirlfrienddoctor Website ➜  http://midlifeconversations.com/magic    Thank you to our show sponsors!

So many women feel broken, exhausted, and out of alignment with their bodies—and their faith. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Austin Lake, Christian functional medicine practitioner and founder of Wholly Health, to explore the deeper root causes of hormone imbalance, infertility, adrenal dysfunction, and weight gain through a biblical lens. Dr. Lake shares how disrupted circadian rhythm, chronic stress, nutrient depletion, and over-medicalization are keeping women stuck—and how true healing begins by returning to God's design. What We Discuss in This Episode: Why hormone issues like infertility, PCOS, and fatigue are often misunderstood The dangerous over-reliance on birth control and hormone replacement How circadian rhythm, light exposure, and rest impact female hormones The spiritual consequences of idolizing productivity over healing The importance of restoring biblical identity in the healing journey Why women must return to foundational health—before reaching for hormones

Why Your Workouts and Diet Aren't Working: Unlocking the Hidden Hormonal Blocks Are you doing “everything right” for weight loss—eating clean, exercising daily, cutting carbs—and still not seeing results? If you're stuck in weight loss resistance, battling fatigue, bloating, brain fog, and hormonal shifts, this episode is for you. I sat down with hormone fitness and nutrition expert Jenny Swisher to unpack why women in perimenopause and beyond often hit a wall with their metabolism, energy, and gut health despite their best efforts. We explore how chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, and outdated fitness advice can actually sabotage your hormones—and what it really takes to break free from the cycle. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: The hidden connection between overexercising, cortisol, and stubborn belly fat—and why doing more cardio might be working against you. A subtle hormone shift that could explain your energy crashes and weight gain in perimenopause (and what to focus on instead). The #1 nutrition mistake most women make that leads to cravings, low energy, and blood sugar rollercoasters. This episode is packed with practical insights for reclaiming your metabolism, balancing your hormones, and finally getting the results your hard work deserves. If you've ever wondered why your body isn't responding the way it used to—or you feel like you're stuck in survival mode—this conversation will shift the way you think about your health. Listen now to get the clarity (and strategy) you've been missing. How to reach Jenny: https://jennyswisher.com/ Connect with Dr. Meg: Stop wasting time (and money) on products that don't work.

Most guys over 40 think building muscle and losing fat is just about training harder or eating cleaner. The reality is, that only gets you so far.True results come from optimizing the whole system: training, recovery, nutrition, hormones, and in some cases, leveraging tools like peptides. To dig deeper into this, I'm joined by Jeff Sakamoto. Jeff's background in pro sports, bodybuilding, and now owner of a top peptide and hormone distribution company, gives him a unique perspective on what it really takes to move the needle.In this conversation, we break down what optimization really means, why most guys are leaving game-changing results on the table, and how to approach peptides safely so they actually work for you. The goal is simple: help you look, feel, and perform your best without grinding yourself into the ground.If you're ready to move beyond outdated practices and start thinking like someone who values long-term health, energy, and performance, this is for you.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview01:05 – Welcome to the Show02:07 – Introducing Jeff Sakamoto04:36 – Jeff's Journey Into Telemedicine05:42 – Dangers of self-sourcing peptides online08:52 – Ensuring quality & pharmacy standards11:02 – The pursuit of optimization12:15 – Early athletic background & low testosterone discovery17:25 – Stress, lifestyle, and body composition challenges19:39 – Misconceptions around sleep, food, and alcohol22:18 – Rationalizing habits vs. health goals23:52 – Micro-decisions and long-term progress25:06 – Ripple effects of daily choices25:24 – Shifting identity away from alcohol26:35 – Strength training after 4029:05 – Moving past CrossFit and high-intensity training29:55 – Training with intent, not annihilation30:36 – Breaking down peptides31:47 – Who should consider peptides33:49 – Hormones vs. Peptides: where to start35:26 – What “optimal” testosterone really means37:48 – The importance of free testosterone39:16 – Lifestyle factors before hormone therapy41:16 – Reframing GLP-1s as a powerful tool44:05 – Real-world results with GLP-1s45:28 – Advancements with retatrutide46:42 – Microdosing explained48:07 – Broader benefits of GLP-1s49:07 – Peptides that support healing & recovery51:36 – Popular anti-aging peptides (GHK-Cu)52:31 – Wrapping up & where to connect with Jeff53:24 – Guidance for finding good clinicians54:20 – Closing thoughtsConnect with Jeff Sakamoto: Jeff Sakamoto's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeff.sakamoto/ Company Website: https://www.scripts.co/ Links & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram:
