This is a topic many ‘experts’ don’t talk about when it comes to optimizing thyroid hormone production, the conversion of T4 to T3 and keeping the body environment in peak balance so thyroid hormones can be consumed and utilized as is intended. Some of it is likely due to the inability to charge money for this info, as it is a bit time consuming to explain…

Read MoreThe lung meridian is one, if not the most, important meridian as it is part of the flow of chi into the body. It is the breath. Breath is the life force that keeps the body in balance and energizes it…

Read MoreThyroid hormone testing, assessment and treatment may be one of the most complicated and misunderstood aspects of medicine. In fact, if you follow the research, this misunderstanding (whether intentional or out of ignorance) has harmed and led many people to unhealthy outcomes, prescription medication which doesn’t help and a massive thyroid hormone problem in the US.
Read MoreAre you not feeling like you did prior to 2020? Did your body, energy, brain function, exercise tolerance, stress resistance, body weight, lung capacity, etc. not go back to your normal after getting C19? Long haul C19, C19 recovery or simply not feeling back to 100% after getting C19 once, a few times, having the shot, both getting it and having the shot, after the booster, etc. is a very big deal…
Read MoreIt is looking like we are on the back end of 2 years of constant, unrelenting, daily reminding stress. There has been a varying degree of stress added to each and everyone’s life over this time and now I am seeing the drastic changes in people body composition, hormone levels and overall health in every regard.
This article is going to address some of these changes and offer some simple solutions to begin to recover. It is without saying, stress is the number one killer. Stress has now been amplified and peoples’ stress reserve is empty. This does not bode well for recovering. Life may be getting back to normal, but the adrenals aren’t as resilient.
Read MoreSex Hormone Binding Globulin is the transport molecule of the sex hormones. It is the vehicle that takes sex hormones from the sex organs and delivers them to the target tissue, like the muscles or brain. This is perfect when the levels are ideal and sex hormone production is perfect. SHBG also acts to protect the body when the environment isn’t ideal. Even with perfect sex hormone levels, if you have high SHBG you will appear and be sex hormone depleted at the tissue level. It’s similar to a traffic jam. When too many cars are on the road (SHBG) you can’t get the people (sex hormones) to the location (target tissue). I am beginning to see this issue more and more and that is the reason for this article…
Read MoreEstrogen. The glorious female dominant sex hormone, and the all too common dominant hormone in men. It is fairly easy to spot in today’s society. Personally, I find this fact phenomenally sad. Men with large breasts (manboobs), distended and over fat bellies, an excess of fat in their legs and hamstring areas, puffy and bloated arms, pale skin (due to lack of blood flow, not skin color per se), hair loss too early in life, depression, anxiety and so many more signs of bad health…
Read MoreWe have to keep in mind our body does NOT help us become ideal. It does NOT optimize our hormone function. It does NOT allow us to live at peak, without constant effort. What our body does do is keep us alive. Every cell, organ, gland and system in the body functions for survival, NOT peak health. This is massively forgotten and gleefully ignored as a concept in modern medicine.
Read MoreHORMONAL HAIR LOSS. There are quite a few different types of hair loss. This article is written for standard male pattern baldness. This is losing hair in the crown, or back of the head and also along the hairline on the forehead, or both together.

Read MoreStomach acid is one of the most misunderstood aspects of all human physiology. The medical profession has absurdly mismanaged this system to the point many doctors have no idea how the stomach works, let alone how to optimize and correct. Acid reflux, excessive burping, improper food digestion, upper belly bloating, excessive cough and clearing of the throat, etc. are all symptoms of stomach acid dysfunction. Osteoporosis, anemia, protein aversion and even cancer are also related to this issue. In fact, almost all health issues can be tied back to the stomach in some way. This article is going to educate you all on the proper function of the stomach and how to fix it.

Read MoreHave you ever wondered why some people are drawn to certain types of exercise?
Some people love cardio type exercises and can perform them for hours upon hours each week. While some would rather have their right foot amputated before they would run 2 miles. Personally, I have always found solace in the weight room and now we are beginning to learn why.
