Many men are under the impression that high levels of estrogen are a bad thing, and have started taking AI’s as a result. Where does this assumption come from? Is there any truth to it at all? On this episode, medical research pioneer, Russ Scala is back to talk about the problem with prevailing views of estrogen.   Three Takeaways Blocking estrogen is one of the most dangerous things you can do to your body. By taking AI’s- even in tiny doses- you’ll damage your endothelial lining. High estrogen levels do not exist. What is often misconstrued as high estrogen levels is actually high insulin, obesity and visceral fat. A lot of what has come to be accepted about estrogen comes from the bodybuilding industry, not the medical industry. Make sure you’re concentrating on biological facts.   At the start of the episode, Russ and I discussed how paying attention to hormones could help doctors cure multiple ailments. We discussed that the reason doctors don’t pay attention to hormones is because basic biology doesn’t suit pharmaceutical companies’ business models. Both of us agreed that the sheer amount of disinformation online is further affecting the way we value estrogen.   We also discussed; Why estrogen is important for your body’s functioning That testosterone is not just linked to sex- it’s a life-giving hormone essential for both men and women Why you have to educate yourself, rather than relying on doctors to have your best interest at heart So much of what we’ve come to accept as normal comes from completely inaccurate theories. The popularity of online groups, frequented by body builders taking AI’s, means that those genuinely seeking advice are likely to be given false information. This is further complicated by the fact that a lot of doctors, backed up by pharmaceutical companies, are sharing disinformation for their financial gain. At the end of the day, what we need to do is be educated so that we can take care of ourselves- because no one else will.   Guest Bio- Russ is the founder of Scala Precision Health.

The watchful eye of Big Pharma still has a lot of control on the purse strings of the medical industry. Why is content and the education of ordinary consumers so necessary in changing this? What are some of the world’s most advanced institutions getting wrong about health and diet? Should you consider ketogenic dieting? On this episode, Russ Scala is back to talk about how to get rid of the lab coat savior mentality. We got about 150 high level pharmaceutical drugs currently on the market, and the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting impact more metabolic pathways than any drug. -Russ Scala Three Takeaways Ketogenic dieting: a lot of people don’t realize that excess protein gets converted through gluconeogenesis into sugar. When you elevate your blood sugar, you cause a lot of oxidative stress. Carbs have the same opiate pathways as heroin; just not as hard. At the start of the show, Russ gave an update on what he’s been working on, and why it’s so powerful to teach ordinary people to ask the right questions. We also discussed muscle wasting, the dangers of carb addiction and how to control your own insulin. We also discussed: How bereft of real data the mainstream system is What people get wrong about ketogenic dieting Why we need to de-patternize our brains around how we see doctors There’s something very powerful and transforming about people being able to think critically and ask their doctors the questions that will really change their health. If we continue teaching people the basics of biology, it is going to create a viral market of people who are in the know. Forget SSRIs and all the pharmaceuticals out there, ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting are the best tools to keep you in the game, keep you healthy, and keep your insulin and blood-glucose levels down. The only way to change perceptions is to educate people through content.

When addiction centers fail to treat the metabolism of addicts, they get repeat business. How is the addiction treatment protocol changing with TRT? When will the medical industry begin to recognize the benefits of TRT? How will community supported healthcare and wellness make doctors insignificant? On this episode, Russ Scala is back to talk about addiction, weight loss and the current state of medicine. When we want to grow new brain tissue, we give someone testosterone. -Russ Scala Takeaways If you have low-circulating dopamine levels, you are more susceptible to addiction. One area addiction treatment isn’t paying attention to is the opiate bowel. 95% of men who present with a deficiency in testosterone won’t get the treatment they need from doctors. The community is doing a lot more to help people attain and maintain health than doctors. At the start of the show, Russ shared on the work he’s doing including biochemical individuality, and his interest in the aging workforce. Next, we talked about the current model of healthcare and how competition will shift it towards preventative healthcare and wellness. We also talked about an LA times article about the struggle many Americans are having with obesity. We went on to talk about the many benefits of TRT and testosterone as rehab in the HPA axis. Towards the end of the show, we shared on how testosterone protects the brain. Russ also shared insights on; Why we need addiction treatment protocols designed for metabolism The warrior gene and its connection to addiction Opiate induced neuroplasticity Why addicts have with muscle waste Why doctors will become insignificant As medicine remains bogged down in Pharma-controlled, backward practices that aren’t helping people, the community is going to step up and help people get better, not doctors. People are going to continue to crowdsource their health solutions to tribes that are already adhered to a practice, and people who have the foundational principles and real world quantifiable results. This can change the game for addicts, testosterone deficient men and other people who aren’t being served well by the doctors who are meant to help them.

Patient care and health are on the verge of a paradigm shift, and personalized health professionals are on the tip of the spear. What are the biggest factors responsible for this shift? On this week’s episode I discuss this with the founder of Scala Precision Health, Russ Scala and touch on the current problems in healthcare, the drop in testosterone and TRT’s role in battling mental health issues and heart problems. Three Takeaways Low testosterone can accelerate blockages of the coronary arteries. Assuming that the doctors know everything is a common mistake many are making. Many patients are scared of using testosterone, it gets a bad name. This can only be combated by encouraging people to learn about it. We kicked off the show with a bit of Russ Scala’s story and his interest in how stress compromises the body. This interest goes back to when he worked in the ER and later on as a SWAT team member. This led to him starting Scala Precision Health, an institution driven by the need to empower people to take their health into their own hands. There’s going to be a huge paradigm shift in health spurred on by the fact that healthcare in its current state cannot deal with a lot of health concerns. We discussed the common stereotype - people thinking that doctors know everything. I asked Russ how he combats this way of thinking when dealing with older patients. Next we discussed the issue of low testosterone and the reasons behind it. Russ stresses the importance of environmental factors like pesticides, shampoo and other products the patient may have been exposed to. Russ went onto mention the importance of a “a virus of knowledge” and creating content that educates the masses about taking their health into their own hands. This content should be aimed at families, and not doctors. Next we discussed the cardio protective elements of testosterone and what it does for your arteries on the cellular level. Towards the end of the show we discussed how testosterone also combats PTSD and diabetes. We also discussed Russ Scala’s perspective on ketogenic dieting. The reality of healthcare is that doctors have filters that stand between them being able to really meet the needs of patients. This has left a space for a huge paradigm shift that will see people having more control over their own health. TRT is part of this shift, and through it we can begin to see changes in how we tackle mental illness and diabetes. The shift also means you can be the CEO of your own health.
