Transcript to SHR # 2244 :: SFH: Study Finds Long Term Keto Diet May Cause Pancreatic Failure + Study Finds TRT Improves Mortality in T2D Men ::

[00:00:00] Welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. Today is Wednesday, which means I get to spend some time with my friend and co-host. Dr. Jeff Golini and just a moment as we start to talk about some research that is actually a fairly old research, but it's coming back around and it may be the reason why we're seeing some of the anomalies out there and people who do long-term keto diets.

Could it actually cause your pancreas to fail over time? We'll talk about that in a minute. And then later in the show going to be joined by Adam Lamb from http://ReNewLifeRX.com to talk about a study that was just published that showed that testosterone therapy improved mortality in men with type 2 diabetes without changing cardiovascular risk.

Factors, which is really an interesting phenomenon. We'll talk about that a little bit later in the show and [00:01:00] why more doctors should consider testosterone for their male patients who have type 2 diabetes. But before we get started we have to pay homage and thank all American pharmaceutical and EFX sports for being our title sponsor.

And right now you get six of their top-selling products absolutely free. If you go to superhuman radio dotnet and click one of the EFX banner ads, you'll pay five dollars and change for shipping, but that's all you'll pay. And the reason for that is that dr. Jeff believes that nobody should have to buy a product and pay for it before they try it.

I mean not before they no one should have to buy a product without trying. He puts his money where his mouth is and he gives you the chance to try his products first. And if you've never taken advantage of this offer, what are you waiting for? We talked about some amazing products are creatine product protein powders pre-workout.

I mean the list goes on and on that the only effective designer carbohydrates supplement on the market today karbolyn [00:02:00] used by all the pros be used by football players by bodybuilders. Everybody. Try this stuff see for yourself. If it doesn't work, you're not out really anything except the five dollars and shipping but if it does work think about it, you'll want more and that's the reason he does what he does check it out.

We'll be right. We're going to start now with a theme you this is science for humans with. Dr. Jeff golini are you doing dr. Jeff? Welcome back from Las. Oh, yeah recovering from the Olympia boy. It was one crazy weekend. Thanks to all the fans that came out. I enjoyed seeing you all taking pictures and we had a good time.

It is exhausting isn't. It was I started at about 6:00 in the morning and I'd literally each night finished at 1 a.m. It was long and it's just a it's literally a sea of people. It's like I said, all you see is crowds of thronging. Yeah rows of people moving from aisle to aisle. It's. To me it is and [00:03:00] then sometimes people don't realize then we have all our meetings, you know with their International Distributors and customers so, you know where we're meeting before the show.

We're meeting after the show and then we have, you know, staff meetings because it's a good time with everybody in town. So it's quite busy. I actually lost my voice on the way back I talk so much WoW. Wow. Well, I know you had fun. I saw on Facebook. I saw an Instagram lots of pictures people taking pictures with you look like it was definitely had a bust.

So I've talked on this show over the past year to try to add some logic and some balance to the notion about the ketogenic diet and what I've Come Away with is what doctor Mauro Di Pasquale. In his anabolic died and that's a cyclical keto diet. You don't do it forever. But there are people out there who promote this as the optimal human diet and I have said no, it's not over and over again.

We've done shows to support that and now [00:04:00] this is an addition to that. Once again, we see that if you decide you're going to do keto for the long haul it actually could it actually could turn out to hurt your pancreas, huh? It is, you know, and I mean since the beginning of this and I'll go back to the Atkin days.

You know, I have not wavered from my viewpoint and so many people go. Oh, you know you you're trying to push your philosophies and I actually did a show a couple weeks ago about. The ketogenic if you're going to do it, let me tell you how to do it. Right and a lot of the keto people got mad because they have their own opinion.

Everybody has their own hybrid opinion of how to do it and I'm going. Look if you're going to do it, it's not an all-time thing lowering. Your carbohydrates is not a new philosophy, but you don't want to take in low amounts of protein if you're an athlete and then do this for a long turn time. And then Here [00:05:00] Comes This study from the Journal of diabetes in 1999 the just kind of validates what we've been saying and some people are going to hear that and go oh 1999.

These studies were done so they didn't have to be done again. So you're not going to see this study. But this is what we build research on and this study was really impressive because what it found was. That there was a deposit but when you go long-term keto we what we know this already that peripheral insulin resistance occurs in the ketogenic State because the body wants to keep the muscles from using glucose and Spares it for the brain to use and so we already know that when you're in ketosis, you are peripheral peripherally insulin resistant, but this goes even further, right.

It does and you know again going back to biology 101, you know, the naiveness of you know, a lot of Quito people is what hinders their progress because they think that by not eating carbohydrates they have zero glucose. Well fatty acids, You know [00:06:00] your brain needs glucose, it only runs on glucose.

So when your liver is processing these fatty acid, it produces ketones and guess what it produces sugar. Your blood glucose level is still at a safe level your blood glucose isn't 0? So, you know, their whole mind frame is really bad. But again, when you look at you know, what insulin does and you start to hinder that I mean, let's face it some of the death in our industry over the last couple of years is because they've been messing with insulin very dangerous.

So let's explore this a little bit further. Here's the phenomenon that happens on a long-term keto diet, right? So not cyclical if you're doing Quito and then you're carving up on the weekends. You're doing keto during the week and you're carving up on the weekends and. You're eating sensibly you're not doing the 90% fat ten percent combined protein and carbohydrates idiocy that some people are promoting out there for average people.

The only people that should be doing that of people who [00:07:00] fighting cancer or their doctors told them that it's for their epilepsy. That's it. Right? If you don't have those if you don't have those two qualifiers, then you shouldn't be doing it. You should be doing a high protein version of Quito because you want muscle growth you want to recover from your workouts, but with that being said, What they discovered and I really I this is not me.

This is actually from Wendy Lou Jones who does some work for dr. Jeff. So these are not my words. These are hers. She says the paper goes on to state that intercellular fat in the muscle is the reason for the promotion of type 2 diabetes because all of the fat interferes with the enzymatic gate that allows cells, I'm sorry.

Allows glucose into the muscle cell for energy eventually the pancreas burns out from over production of insulin and the immune system starts to destroy the beta islets cells now blood sugar goes up without anything to control it. So what we're seeing in this particular study and. It was a [00:08:00] very well done study.

They saw that by putting these I guess they did this on rodents. I want to say right it doesn't say that if this was people a rodents, but I'm pretty sure it had to be rodents probably. Yeah, what they saw was that by putting them on this high fat low carb diet for very long periods of time the infiltration of fat in both the liver and muscle which is a which is a is a Hallmark of insulin.

Hard and also that that infiltration it made it harder for glucose that needed to get in to get in this this is supported by the. Insulin resistance that has been known since 2012 now on a high fat diet we see this because the body wants to save glucose for the brain. So what they're saying is when it does it long-term you still you still are acting like a diabetic but for a different reason your body has to produce if more and more insulin to get the glucose into the muscle and eventually Burns Out.

[00:09:00] Yeah, I mean, you know if you think about it, it's really common sense. And you know, the study goes on to say that, you know, this is going to initiate type 2 diabetes. So you could think that you're doing something healthy avoiding carbohydrates that people say cause type 2 diabetes, which is completely false and this, you know particular program over time.

Now, I want to make something clear like you said, we're not saying that you know, you do keto for a day or two a week and you know, you're going to have problems we're talking on a long-term because keto takes about three days to even kick in so if you do it for one. Days, it's absolutely worthless.

Right other than you know, you shocked your metabolism by lowering your carbohydrates for a few days. And that's what we used to do when we body build it as we shocked our metabolisms using carbohydrate intake, you know altered alternating it right exactly. Yep. So now let's so now let's look at this from a standpoint of what [00:10:00] we see in the keto Community today, so, There are people in the kettle community that are quite obese right that that and these people don't look healthy, but they keep charging on and saying that keto is good.

Kettle was good. Kiddo, it's good and it's kind of like that old story that we heard in third grade about the king and his no clue. No close but his subjects didn't want to say anything because they felt bad because they loved him so much, you know, but the king said, how do you like my new outfit?

He was naked. You know and everybody went. Oh, we love it. We love it. But behind his back there going he has no clothes on and that's really what's going on with a lot of these quote-unquote keto gurus today who you look at them and you can tell they just don't look healthy. They seem not to be able to lose weight or even worse.

They admit that if they eat any kind of carbs now they did they blood [00:11:00] sugar goes through the roof and that is exactly this phenomenon. That is being pointed out in this study that Wendy Lou Jones sent to us. And that is the fact that then you become carbohydrate and tolerant there's so many people out there who say oh, I'm carbohydrate intolerance.

Yeah. You've probably been doing keto too long the answer to it is if you if your pancreas hasn't been attacked by the immune system. What the answer to this is to slowly start backing down your fat and start adding some sensible carbs. Nothing highly glycemic and starchy but maybe even some good vegetables some tubers, you know legumes but make sure they were organic because they're one of the heavily is sprayed glyphosate crops out there.

You need to start easing your pancreas back into working again. What do you think about that? Yeah, I agree. But you know also, I mean the nutrients that you are losing, you know from eating carbohydrates are crucial to our bodies function. I mean, you know, you can't shut down one thing and expect [00:12:00] everything to work the same and that on that note.

This is something I've been saying recently more often if you're on a diet. That requires you to supplement like okay vegans, they know they have to supplement with B12. They have to supplement with with what's the antithesis to Copper? I forget what it is, but there's a mineral that they have to supplement with because they get very very high Copper from their diet.

And so they have to supplement with zinc. Thank you, you know because they don't get enough zinc from their diet you get a lot of zinc from animal protein, from shellfish from beef and pork and stuff like that, which they don't get and. There are other nutrients that they don't get in their diet.

The same thing is now being seen in the kettle community. So you have Kettle gurus say no the reason for the kettle fluids because you're not getting the minerals in your diet. You have to supplement with magnesium and potassium and sodium any time. You hear somebody say, [00:13:00] this is the optimal human diet and then they tell you.

Oh, but you have to supplement that means it's not the optimal human diet because that means that in every through Evolution. We didn't have GNC and Vitamin Shoppe we would have been able to supplement we just would have died of malnutrition. So Wendy Jones is my director of clinical trials.

She's a very intelligent lady has a master's so she's listening and she just sent me two more studies. She goes here to more articles on the subject of fat inside the muscle cell and insulin resistance. It is very obvious from the data and these papers that. The keto diet is trouble and one is called mechanism of fatty acid induced insulin resistance in humans.

So this was a human trial from the junior chemical Journal 1999. And on the second one was a similar study that was done in 2000. So. Yeah, I mean again if we look at ourselves when we look at things from an evolutionary perspective and we've done this show we did [00:14:00] the show with Joel green we talked about the probability of our ancestors finding themselves in ketosis, and we looked at 13 different hunter-gatherer tribes that still exist today and the probability that the rate of them.

Eating in such a way that they would find themselves in ketosis outside of outright starvation when food is available to them. They're never in ketosis. Now if food is not available, of course, that's The Back-up Plan for the body the body goes. Oh, we'll make ketones until we can find food, but from an evolutionary perspective, we the only time we were in ketosis long-term was because we was we were getting ready to die.

We were starving and we needed food badly. And so. Ryan when you look at this from an evolutionary perspective, the vegan diet is probably a good diet to do for a month. You know, I mean like you just shock your body clean yourself out give yourself a chance to reestablish some mechanisms in your body that maybe you've lost from the way you've been [00:15:00] eating the same is true for the keto diet.

It should be cyclical. You shouldn't be in ketosis all the time because we also talked about the. Dietary inheritances with Joel green if you if you and your girlfriend are like Keto Warriors and you're always in ketosis and she gets pregnant. There's a high probability that your baby's going to be born with all those Thrifty jeans because the baby is being created in a time where the body thinks the environment is hostile.

So we have to make this baby as efficient as possible to make fat your baby's gonna end up being born with a propensity to metabolic disorder. Think about that for a second that you know, we keep saying. Food is medicine, but then we don't think about it. Oh, yeah food is medicine. You don't overdose on aspirin and you don't do nothing forever.

Yeah, you know and at the end of the day Karla, I mean come on, you know, most people who hype the keto diet have said. Well, you know that way I don't [00:16:00] have to exercise. Oh, is that what this same here? Great. Oh, I hear that so much now not from bodybuilders, but you know again the bodybuilders they lie.

Because they all eat carbs, you know, we're talking about a contest diet now, right, you know, which again nobody does this because you're not going to go low protein. You're going to have no muscle left your body will burn the muscle for energy. It needs sugar for the brain, right? So you don't have enough protein you're going to be burning muscle but most of them are lazy.

They don't want to exercise the cure to All Things forget about me. Whatever you want. Exercise and you are way ahead of the game get off the couch. I would even go further than I think that you were very generous with your statement. I think the people that are really driving the cattle market and people who making money in it.

They're selling bully are there selling supplements that that's who's driving the cattle market if you look at this hole. If [00:17:00] you know, it's no different than paleo was it but although I think paleo is a much better way to eat. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, but I mean this is all profit driven. That's what this is.

Otherwise people wouldn't be so, you know, people are selling their part of an MLM. They're selling Ketone salt in there promoting the oh, I'm in ketosis. I got my keto sticks. I'm 3 millimoles today. You know what that's just all silliness if you're I've said it before if you're dying. Provide you with the membership card, but an annual and an annual Cruise you're eating that way for the wrong reason you're if you're cut your if you make money selling your diet to other people you're eating that way for the wrong reason you really are, you know.

I was going to say I want to talk about you know, what is the overall goal of dieting? It's about Health and Longevity. So maybe we can come back. That's a great transition. That's a fantastic transition. Let's get this silly out of our [00:18:00] heads and start talking sensibility. Stay tuned.

Welcome back instinctively. Dr. J. Sees what we need to discuss next. Why do we eat the way? You know, we'll think about it right people. Don't even they don't even think about why they eat the way they what was that? Oh, dr. Jay. Can you hear me? Yeah. I can I'm gonna have to hang up a call you right back sit tight everybody sit tight sit tight.

This is gonna be real fast. Here we go. Okay, there we go. And this is the beauty of live radio. This is why nobody wants to do live radio. I am the only one who does live radio today. Of course. I'm not afraid of it.

You there? Yeah, the phone system didn't have enough carbohydrates. Okay, let me kill the yeah with low. Yeah, that's so funny. So but I mean really instinctively you're like, why are we even talking about this do people even think about why they are eating the way they eat in the first place. You know, you said something [00:19:00] which was crucial.

It's because somebody's always selling something mean we've been doing this for a long time. And how many of these and I'm going to call them fads. Have you seen come and go and people get on the bandwagon people lose people game back and then they're on to the next thing but they spent a lot of money.

Everybody is wanting your money, you know. When we do this show do we say Hey, you know send us a contribution of $25 because we're giving you a bunch of information in our opinions. Are you giving away books that have valuable information that you have used to become a professional bodybuilder reduce body fat down to single digits build massive muscle you've given away free books.

It's about education. It's about giving people the right information. Like when I started this the show here I said, you know, I did a show not recently on the EFX Sports a recently about if you're going to do Kino. Let me tell you how to do it, right and oh boy, did [00:20:00] I get flak from people going? I thought you didn't like keto and I'm like no I never said I didn't like Quito I said, I'm not a fan of it.

And I give you the reason why I'm not a fan of it, you know, and this is one of them is because people go crazy and the majority of the people like you said, they do not look healthy if they are really doing this on a long-term basis. Most of them have a slight yellow tint and I'm sorry that's a sign of jaundice interesting variant, you know?

Yeah. Yeah, but you know, it's about being healthy. It's about. You know go back to the Jack LaLanne days. I mean the secret is not very difficult, you know, eating a balanced diet proportions and exercise. Well, I think but I think one of the things that is occurring today, and this is just like from a 30,000 foot view, you know, right Hippocrates was the first person to coin the term hypochondriac and the word Loosely means.

From below the [00:21:00] rib cage and he classified people who had these. And these symptoms, but they know but nobody could actually put their fingers on where this was coming from, but they just had a general sense of malaise. They didn't feel good. They didn't sleep well and he called them hypochondriacs that weren't turned into becoming something that we used to ridicule people, but it's but it it's original.

And its original meaning it meant that these this was something like I couldn't point that a broken arm or a boil on your face, but you definitely in something's wrong with you, but I just don't know. I think it's kind of coming from in this area here below the rib cage, which is where the gut in the intestines are right now fast forward to today 76 percent of Americans have a gut problem today that's astonishing to me and most of it and most of it is from small intestine.

Either of fungi or overgrowth of microbes that shouldn't be there in the first place. And so I like [00:22:00] we just did a show the other day on lactic acid producing microbes. They infest the small intestine people end up with d lactic acid instead of L. And the D is the one that gives them brain fog and joint pain and all that sort of stuff.

So the reason I point this out is I think that today most people are not eating diets for the reason that you did. And Jack LaLanne did they're eating them because they don't feel well and they're trying to figure out how to fix themselves. And so when you're when you're trying to look at a diet as a therapy you go really way far to the left or really way too far to the right because in the middle seems not to be helping.

It isn't an don't jump on everything. You see I mean, what's that? Dr. Oz I mean how every time he would say something people would go by what he'd said and they have a cabinet full next week. It's this week before it was something else for [00:23:00] the same thing. You got to find, you know, your food regimen your body likes consistency, you know, you should be eating the same things all the time.

You know, I hear people go. Oh, I'm so bored of. What how can you get bored of chicken cook it a different way. But you know, I mean you're so right because when I started connect the dots between people who have good life span and health span, they are consistent. They are regimented if they drink a beer they drink of one beer at the same time every day if they smoke cigars, they spoke once agard that it's the predictability tells the body life is good.

Low stress it is. Yeah, and you know when your body is craving something, that's the signal. You know, it's just like your car when your oil light goes on you had better do something about it, you know, when you're craving sugar or candy, you know, your body's basically saying I need carbohydrates and your brains gone.

Well, this is the quickest way to replenish, you [00:24:00] know as eat some candy, but again a little bit of meal planning when you're craving a steak you need something in that red meat, you know, maybe you're deficient in iron or protein I mean so again, Be balanced, you know be healthy and don't do all these stupid fat things.

I mean, you know, hey real quick. Dr. J some really exciting news. You just told me before the before the show. Yeah. So the everybody knows about the Willy Wonka golden ticket program promotion that there's golden tickets and quite a few products out there and some of them are worth a thousand dollars and you're telling me that they're still sitting on store shelves.

Hi, I am shocked. It has been two months. Now. There are five thousand dollars worth of golden tickets out. There. There are 10 of them that were in the large between the large bottles. And then we have a bunch of the small bottles that are absolutely free. You can go to EFX sports.com and get a 330 Graham golden ticket Karbolyn absolutely free [00:25:00] and there are random tickets, but no not one ticket has been redeemed which tells me that.

They're sitting on store shelves because over half of the inventory is now gone. I'm just like and we took a bunch to the show this weekend and we sold everything. So I'm hoping that you know one guy right at the show said I won't put it in mind and see if I got a Golden Ticket ha ha ha actually, I was hoping he did but he didn't and they like I said, they're completely random.

So nobody here knows where they are. I don't even know because I hid them and they are mixed in. A sequence of pallets so that they randomly go out in series, you know, but so they're out there. So keep buying your Karbolyn folks because carbon raspberry lemonade 4.5 pounds. We call it the golden ticket limited edition.

It's a great flavor. It's a big old bottle and somebody sooner or later is going to win some money. Dr. J with the Sensibility. Hi man, talk to you [00:26:00] soon, brother I take care. Bye. I'm going to take one quick commercial break when we come back. We'll have Adam Lamb on we're going to talk about a recent study that showed that testosterone therapy in type 2 diabetic men improved their mortality and this is without changing cardiovascular risk factors.

This is really interesting. Stay tuned. Welcome back. So last night before bed, I absorbed the book your brain at work really great book today. I just downloaded power sex suicide. Which is the book that reveals the incredible role of the mitochondria and how it affected Evolution and complex life forms.

How do I get all this information in my brain so quickly it's called blankest. If you haven't heard me talk about it before you haven't been listening to the show blink is the most amazing app in the world for people who want to learn things. But just don't have a lot of time to listen to it on Audible over the course of 13 hours or read the book blankest take books and distills them [00:27:00] down to the most important content and delivers them to you in what they call blanks and in 15 minutes.

You can absorb all the important stuff in a book and hold a conversation with somebody who invested 13 hours in Reading. If you go to blankets.com forward slash superhuman, you'll get a 7-Day free trial. I'm getting emails from people saying this is the greatest thing in the world and it is. I love blankest because it allows me to learn more faster.

If I'm in the car if I'm getting ready to go to sleep. If I'm doing cardio if you travel and commute on a bus or a train you can absorb three or four books in the time it takes to get to work. I mean, just imagine how your knowledge will build. So rapidly blankest is the coolest app I've ever seen.

http://Blinkist.om/superhuman don't waste another minute download it today. Check it out. I so now we are joined by Adam Lamb. How you doing? Adam? I'm doing great. Good to be [00:28:00] back. Yeah, very good, very good and your back and we have a really interesting study to kind of talk about here a little bit because there's still a lot of mainstream Physicians out there who.

There are patients who have type 2 diabetes, but refused to consider testosterone therapy for those men. They'll put them on a series of other drugs or put them on, you know, glucose disposal drugs or put them on. Yeah. Yeah the put them on all this other stuff. When we're starting to learn that putting them on testosterone actually can improve their insulin resistance.

But this particular study when the title is study was long-term testosterone therapy and type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced mortality without improving Improvement in conventional cardiovascular risk factors. This is phenomenal. These guys will living longer. But the traditional markers that doctors look for were unaffected and this was a multi Centric study done in the UK and also in the United States and its I mean, will you shocked when you saw this?

Yeah, it's very interesting. It's [00:29:00] something to hit home to me because diabetes is also something very passionate about. K2 especially because it can be improved. My grandfather had type 2 diabetes what led to his death at an earlier age and actually having a company helps diabetic. So this and also tied to personally I've seen clients in the HRT space their A1C levels improved our quality lifestyle things like that more likely to continue with.

You know exercise and things like that because they're seeing results and things like that with the charity and then that's when I got the ring to this is made sense. But even more kind of mind-blowing as far as the health role that it can play for folks and type 2 diabetes Well, even the men so that they follow these men for a very long time.

It was 857 men over the course of three point eight years of follow-up and even the men. Who discontinued their testosterone therapy throughout the three point eight years follow-up still fared better than the guys who weren't given testosterone therapy, which means [00:30:00] that the effects that were conferred during the time that they were using actually continue to affect them later on.

Yeah. I think that that power sorry one of those interesting Parts about it. Meaning that even doing testosterone therapy. And taking time off could still be beneficial to those folks that not doing it all and then the other thing that I thought was really intriguing about the study was it, you know guys like me and you know guys that are in their 40s and 50s or even maybe in the early 60s, they'll get on testosterone.

But once you get past a certain age guys were afraid to get on testosterone because they think. And their doctors will tell him you know, you're too old for testosterone. You've missed the boat. These guys will all greater than sixty four point six years old. That was the average most of these guys were in their 70s and they were on testosterone and they fared better than guys who didn't and you know, it's time for doctors to stop [00:31:00] scaring men away from testosterone replacement therapy just because they have their own personal biases.

It has to stop. I think it's the biases but it's also fear, you know, there's a lot of doctors that just they have fear and conversations or protocols that they're unexperienced with and as a father is in also there's a lot of conflicting information out there. You know, I see it all the time with clients that come to me with information.

I'm like, what the heck did you get that? That's not true. That's not how it works. That's not what the results show and so I think even doctors at the same time and I told you we still had a client who came over and. He went back to the doctor and he wasn't on an anti estrogen as estrogen is high and the doctor pulled the phone out pulled up Google and said what to do with her a surgeon and he said that's when I knew there's a time to probably look further into treatment.

Yeah, but because they become more educated [00:32:00] studies like this come out, but getting it out to that mainstream, dr. Droop understanding how important it is a and b how to prescribe it properly to get those results and probably even get better results. The study shop and the now one thing that was clear from the study even with testosterone therapy The Men Who had what was considered more normal body weights fared better.

So and the reason I want to bring this up is because I've been saying for years on this show. That if you're on testosterone therapy, it doesn't mean that you can lead a more Reckless life because the testosterone is not going to save you from really bad life choices and diet and lack of movement.

It's not going to a lot of people think. Oh, I'll get on testosterone and I'll just eat and crap because I used to do that my 20 so I'll be able to do it now my 60s now you still got to take care of yourself. So the guys who were on testosterone [00:33:00] replacement therapy who were had more than average BMI is for their for their size.

They fared better than the guys that were on testosterone therapy. Who are considered overweight but the guy who would considered overweight did better than the guys who had low test right and it just shows that the factor of the testosterone therapy was helpful and you brought up a great point to where I think going back to what some of the doctors I think have some fear.

Is there the statement of testosterone replacement therapy can be high risk for. Cardiovascular disease and in the reality is anything done in properly can lead to improper results right results at your unwanted. And so with that being said that when you know, I have guys that come over to the clinic that maybe there were somewhere else for a couple of years and the blood work screwed up by the blood pressures will hiring it should be their cholesterols a little goofy.

We go through all that stuff. And first thing is we want to get him healthy [00:34:00] first rights as clients will test to it. We have to go through a certain protocol to get some healthy first and then they go on to your tea and they do it properly in those risk factors go down. So when it's done properly, you know, I probably have the same belief that anybody would low testosterone.

It has those symptoms that's looking to be healthier that wants to kind of take that step should be on testosterone replacement therapy because it's going to help you do it and if. If you are not seeing the results, you know that assessment listen therapy getting almost correct can help you see those results, right?

And so if you have the drive and have the motivation to go to the gym and you just feel better and you have just more confidence all those kind of things, you're more likely to exercise your more likely, you know, one thing I know in the diabetes space cause like I said, I have a supplement companies that helps that group.

Is that exercise and movement. Is [00:35:00] the most important thing for type 2 diabetics, right? And so well if you come out with a program for those folks to just look at quote-unquote at home just to stay active really is what the program's called and just showing them like just could do a little walk doing some more calisthenics the house just to get the heart rate up just a little bit right to do that can help you don't have to go to the gym for three hours a day, right?

There's it. You can pick 30 minutes if you don't do anything and it's going to improve significantly. I want to take a break and when we come back, I want to talk a little bit more about this. But then I also want you to share with some of the people about some of the things that you have available for people who have type 2 diabetes, but I want to mention to the audience that if you are reluctant to go and talk to your doctor because you just have that gut feeling that your [00:36:00] doctor is not going to be receptive.

Maybe he's maybe you've asked them before and he said hey, your testosterone is fine. You don't need to check it. We have an answer here at the Superhuman nation. And it's http://ReNewLifeRx.com and you can get 20% off your initial consultation and lab work if you use the code shr and that's where you can start you can you'll be you'll be talking to people who are receptive who understand this category of medicine and I'm not afraid of it and we'll help you.

So if you feel. Like your when we're talking about this you're thinking about your doctor yourself you sitting in his office and saying hey, I mentioned testosterone therapy and you think to yourself. Oh, man. Yeah. I don't think I want to have that conversation with him. Then give renew our X. I'm sorry New Life RX.com a try and let them know that you are there from supremum Radio.

We'll be right back with more.

Welcome back, you know a lot of the fear. That let's just [00:37:00] call them for lack of better terms mainstream doctors have about testosterone therapy was from two studies that were done about five years ago. Maybe six that showed really bad outcomes. And that's what launched the legal industry effects and stuff.

Yeah, but here's the interesting thing about that. What do you hear about those class actions lawsuits? No, you know why because nobody came forth look class action lawsuits only work. If you have a big throng of people coming forth and going in and happened to me none of that stuff happened to people out on testosterone.

So they the testosterone class action lawsuits just went away because there was nobody jumping on that bed. In fact if you looked at the threads. Of responses people would call him BS. This is nonsense. This is a scam go away. The testosterone changed my life. I read them. I remember reading them, but that was something that there's a couple conversations, you know people bring it up and they have those concerns about testosterone replacement therapy, but and I think that [00:38:00] what comes down to confidence in.

The process of care with what we do especially like we've seen thousands of clients. Our clients have been with me for almost 10 years and they're healthier now than it was that right almost like every single one because if they're not we force them to make change things like that. And so when you do it, right and you pay attention to.

Everything not just testosterone think we mentioned it one time. I left us some of the call we can give you a 1cc at the station right now. You're just awesome to go up but what's everything else doing? Right? So that's one of the key things about we tell our clients that you get to kind of be in charge as far as your goals and what you want to achieve and if you want to be a little bit more aggressive things like that as long as you're healthy and you're responsible and people like that because.

It's not typically how they're treated the medical industry and we have different kinds of [00:39:00] different goals. Some people just want to feel good. Some people are there in their 40s to doing CrossFit six days a week, right? They got to recover their you need some other things to do that in at the our job is to make sure they're healthy.

The other thing I want to mention about those studies real quick is that those would not well done studies and I've talked about them on when I had my TV show. I talked to my talked about him on this on this show here those studies. They didn't track to see how many men actually got the prescriptions filled the men were given prescriptions and that qualified them to be in the study and then they had heart attacks at a point in time during the study and they said oh, Testosterone when they dug deeper, they found that some of these guys over the course of two years had to prescriptions filled think about that to prescriptions over the course of two years.

So that means that out of 24 months. They used the [00:40:00] two months. They are not test that they're not on testosterone therapy the other study which did look at their usage didn't qualify how their activity had changed, you know. Something that you said a little while ago that I've talked about on the show about to stop the testosterone make you feel good.

So you're this guy and for the past, you know, 30 years you've been sitting on the sofa and then you get testosterone like damn. I feel great. I know I'm going to go jog, wait a minute. You haven't even walked in 30 years, but you feel great and your brains telling you hey, when we used to feel like this we used to be able to do this stuff here and you go I'm going to go do it and you drop dead.

So these guys. They would they were having heart attacks because they were having sex interestingly enough the testosterone the number of cardiovascular events that happened in that testosterone group mimic the number of cardiovascular events that happened in the Viagra group when Viagra [00:41:00] was first introduced and why is that you got unhealthy guys all of a sudden they're like, I want to have sex for the next three hours.

That's your 25. Yeah, you can't do it. You can't do that, bro. You can have heart attack. It's like it doesn't matter. It's just a stone of Viagra at that point in time. I think it really goes in and I'm going to sound like a broken record, but it really goes into proper care, you know checking clients so we know based on one thing we look at to is your blood pressure if your blood pressure is over a certain.

Area we won't let you do injections you have to do cream cream is less likely to disrupt that and another example at a guy that just came out this week who was on testosterone therapy for last two years of the doctor. And he was getting 1cc. So 200 of 200 milligrams of testosterone every two weeks and which is its you might as well not do it because that enough it's not [00:42:00] enough is it it's like drinking and not getting the buzz and only getting the hangover because he would feel good for three or four days because the doctor was under the belief that testosterone sipping 8 as a longer acting Esther, but we did his blood work on the day.

Ten days in so four days before you're supposed to get the next shot is Ellington FSH levels, which is the natural testosterone kind of functioning in your body. We're totally shut down his cholesterol is. And most importantly his testosterone was it with 181 if you're on testosterone therapy and your testosterone that 181 but those are the guys that you're coming over to us.

We almost consider the emergency clients, right? But the 300-400 range of 200 Grand. That's our average client that comes over to just kind of had the symptoms but the guys are in that under 200 range. That's almost an emergency. Especially this guy's a 36 years old, right? And because he was on improper therapy it actually put them in a worse position 80% of [00:43:00] the time to put them at risk of heart attack.

Right. He's getting the health risk of hemoglobin hematocrit were high and that's one of the things you don't understand. If it's not done properly you're going to get bad results. And if it's done properly, you know, we've been we've been perfecting our methods in the things we look at for almost 10 years with the doctors.

I've worked with myself personally managing his clients talking to the clients hearing about their life here about their act it knowing you know, I had the client. I know that into shit they still smoke. I still go drink a few nights a week. I know their lifestyle and So based on the lifestyle we also.

But just how their testosterone therapy is going to look like. We also just the things we're going to look at as opposed to the guy who's has that, you know, there's also things that people don't forget about this is the I think Hope was maybe one person listening to this that can take this away.

There [00:44:00] is hereditary cardiovascular diseases that can cause heart attacks. They call it the Widowmaker and off the top of my head. I can't think of the medical term for it, but we've had clients that just to conversations have found that out for me today, man. You need to go out and get a mother scan of your heart and those kind of things just do it because you're my dad died at 50 my uncle died at 48 like dude.

You might be next and it could you know, that's where some testosterone therapy heart attacks could be together because what he's honest assessment therapy. She also had a history of heart disease. So helping on people and cover that stuff. It can be a lifesaver because you don't know if it exists and it's number one.

You just reminded me of something both of those studies that everybody thought testosterone was harmful. They were own those studies that the one of the prerequisites for entry into the study group. Well you had to have least have had at least what do they [00:45:00] call that a when they look in your heart an angioplasty and all these guys had heart problems in other words.

They all had our problems, you know, it's almost like saying. Let's see how these sneakers work. We're going to grade these sneakers to see how effective they are. But we only want guys who've had broken feet or broken ankles in there. Later Fest. Yeah and everybody's going oh my feet hurt my feet aren't then you go.

Oh, yeah see the sneakers suck, right and that's in that's just something like we talked about with professional placement there. It's a lifestyle. Elevation that right it's just you and I totally get it you feel better. You can look better you can perform better and all that stuff. But if you live a lifestyle that you don't really care about those things, you know, and I tell clients.

Like listen, if you're the guy sits on the couch and drink six beers every night drink pop all day each piece of three times [00:46:00] a week. I won't even take them on as clients because they need some different kind of intervention. You know what I mean? That's going to help them with. Testosterone therapy.

Otherwise, they're just put themselves potentially higher risk unless they're going to get up and move, you know, okay, I found a trainer there doing my nutrition all that stuff. Awesome. I'm going to help you out. We're going to have make sure you get results quick stay motivated. But if you haven't made the decision to be healthier and you're just looking for a pillow or a shot to do it.

Common sense says at higher risk right talk about the I didn't know that you had a line of products that that targeting people will tell you that so that's why the diabetes thing at home a little bit later that my grandfather had that type 2 diabetes in it and he passed away because of that but friend of mine reached out to me a few years ago.

He's a type 1 diabetic and he's like, hey, man, I know [00:47:00] you're real knowledgeable in the health space and. In supplements and things like that. I want to watch a supplement company was launched its called size one and it's we have a weight loss support product, which is geared towards type 2 because it's the time he's in the medical space working with gastric bypass surgery and he was he's like, dude.

What can we do to help all these people that are crazy overweight that's not going to do, you know, a lot of the fat burning supplements in like that just put the too risky for them today. So it's all natural supplement. We started with it's vegan gluten-free it. No stimulants. It's all curbs appetite.

It works. It's awesome. You know, we see a lot of results with that what's in it? What some of the main ingredients? Yeah, I'll go went through it. So we it's got things like be one, right? Riboflavin B12 methylcobalamin to so it's good the better one Pantheon. That's it. Sorry chromium and chromium really helps with chromium helps with balancing blood sugar, [00:48:00] which is one of the biggest problems with type 2 diabetes.

In fact, it was in fact, it was so effective at one point in time that it became a weight loss supplement. I don't know if people aren't old enough to know this but probably about 20 years ago chromium picolinate was like all the rage because people were taking it and they were losing weight. And the reason they were losing weight is because it improved insulin sensitivity.

And so that's a that's a strong ingredient in here. We use things like your mate Garcinia is in there. Bye Rosie methylene raspberry ketones green tea leaf, extract alpha lipoic acid. Oh carnitine, there's 17 different ingredients in here. And so the goal of it was to help lose weight boost metabolism Kurt appetite and.

I just hope you have entered feel better, you know, and it what that was kind of like the main focus of it. It's something like my mom could take right there was the time I use the reference of like shreds right? Like I wouldn't [00:49:00] give my mom something called shreds and she's not going to take you to be scared or something like incinerator something like that.

Right? You want to say something that would be healthy for that Community also doing so my business partner Matt is that he's a college baseball player played baseball as a pitcher at U of M. I'm so sorry for having tennis player and but he was in conversation. He's like hey did you know Screw workouts and stuff like that you take and he's like, yeah, I've never taken that even scared to take it because he's type 1 diabetic.

He was like, I don't know what the hell I'm ingredients that are in it. I said well do what why don't we make a product that's safe for safe enough for diabetics to take which means anyone can take it and kind of do it. We kind of the old cult old man mentality I mean. Not the 21 Invincible type stock.

There's some stuff out there that you know, some friends of mine owns himself in the companies [00:50:00] that just I wouldn't take because it scares me right? So we created leave a pre-workout in a recovery mix in the pre workouts, you know, 200 milligrams of caffeine low dose and it's and it's more but it's all natural flavor natural sweetener.

So it doesn't taste like Skittles is something like that the kids I say might be used to Stevia base. So it doesn't you can take it and it doesn't spike your insulin. Artificial sweetener will spike your insulin, you know what I mean? And so these different things like that. There's no sugar in it.

So for test both the pre workout in recovery are totally safe for diabetics today. So the thought process was if you type 2 diabetic, we have a product they can help you if you type 2 diabetics in deciding to get more active and want to see results is take it to a different level, but there were cut in recovery or before it's literally the only pre workout recovery.

I ever take any more because I love it works. It's like [00:51:00] just perfect right? It's never too much. And all that kind of stuff. So we started that company with a passion to help diabetics and it's really been taken off. Where can where can my audience find this if they have a diabetic mom or dad they want to try this.

Yeah, so we can go to size flynn.com and buy it. There's also on Amazon. So it's called size slim weight loss support. We have a couple of the products come out to for just strictly for blood glucose support and we're also going to go into a product that's going to help with neuropathy pain because we know that that's a thing to and we're coming out to the 90-day program.

For folks to go through just a meal stuff like this. One of the biggest things we've seen to type 2 diabetics is lack of Education, you know guys like that to me you have a radio call superhuman radio like you get the lifestyle but there's a lot of people the lack of education is is sad. I [00:52:00] know Barry and we live in this like health and fitness follow when you when you and I when you and I go out to functions With Friends, And you hear somebody go?

Oh, I've heard about this new thing and it's like something that you've known about for a decade, but it takes a decade for them to hear about it because it takes a decade for to get the dr. Oz or Today Show and you realize all of a sudden there's this this vast delay of the dissemination of information when it comes to nutrition, especially nutrition in America today you have.

A small Core group of people who are early adopters, they learn it. They use it and they're the ones that look great. They are the ones that feel great. But when you're at a party, you're the minority at that party and all your friends are complaining about this and about that and you like and you want to open your mouth, but you know, they're not going to get it and then somebody says oh, I just [00:53:00] heard that you know cinnamon is good for controlling blood sugar.

It's like that. That's the that's a weak one. But yeah, you're right that's been known for the last 20 years. That was one of the ingredients. Yeah and there but yeah, but I mean there's this conversation would people do understand that the drinks in you know, highly saturated fats high sugar, you know, they're drinking two liter of Papa day right like.

Who the hell drinks or two later? I know right? It hurts. Like when I see these guys are like you'll see some guys walking like going to work and they're walking out of the gas station with two big slam Mountain Dews or whatever in their hand, and I'm. No, you're going to drink that much sugar to that just drink that who knows what the hell they're eat for lunch because they're eating some they're eating a bag of chips from the gas station with a hot dog.

And I used to be that guy I used to drive and I would see [00:54:00] like a convenience store and I would go in and get those rolling cancer sticks. On the you know covered with you know cheese dogs, you know, they had cheese them get 300. They were only like 60 not hard your four of them. I get those and I get it and then I would get a giant soda.

Mr. Pibb that used to be me. I used to do that man. I know what that feels like. Yeah, it's for you understand the mentality behind the I'm very sympathetic to that because that's how I grew up with a family girl. Everyone's overweight. That's what drove me to help industry is seeing the suffering of my mom being overweight other everything from confidence to Lifestyles and she couldn't do the depression.

And like I said my grandfather who practically raised me who died of diabetes had health problems all related to it, but. You just had to have that sugar and I don't think he understood it. And that's what triggered me when I was young to dive into this health and [00:55:00] nutrition and fitness and you know, by the time I got in my 20s into the hormones and things like that because I wanted to know it all because I wanted to help people because I realized that it there's some neglect or if there's some just ignorance in the sense of I know it's right, but I don't care but there's also just a lot of people that don't know in the part that I'm most passionate about.

Kids, they don't have a choice and they sure don't yesterday over there. Just eat whatever Mom and Dad are put in front of them. Do my son. Look who's my wife and I weren't competing my son grew up eating egg whites and oatmeal for breakfast. That's his favorite thing to eat. You know, they still like they're candy.

They're still kids were not nuts about that stuff. I'll still let him have a you know for out somewhere. He wants a little mini lemonade or something like that sure, but it's in moderation were conscious of it. I think the most important thing [00:56:00] that leads to all of this stuff is self-awareness right just being aware of.

Witchery when you're eating, you know, I haven't been to the gym in a while and I my sugar intakes been a little high and I should change. I need to make next week a little different rise on vacation. So I'm going to clean it up. I'm going to grease your shortly and I'm sure I'm trying to work out as much and I'm going to be eating great meals and things like that.

We will be doing some physical activity, but your you'll be aware of that. So. Too many people aren't aware. There are routine. That's unhealthy that puts them at high risk and whether they decide to do testosterone replacement therapy, or they decided I come to start jogging tomorrow. It could put them at high risk because they've been in an unhealthy place for so long crying exactly and that's the and that's why I say there's a responsibility that comes with this and I say this even to drug-using athletes a lot [00:57:00] of young guys think.

Oh, well, you know I'm on this cycle. I'm on that cycle so I can stay out late tonight. I can drink all I want because I'm still going to get my gains. I'm still gonna get my gains and not only are they not going to get their gains, but they're actually going to make themselves sick. They're going to injure themselves and I say I've said this for years.

If you're going to get on HRT you have responsibility to make sure that you're going to do everything else. Right? And if you're going to be on gear you have a responsibility to make sure that you're going to do everything else. Right? Otherwise don't even bother why even bother you this you're wasting your time?

Yeah, you're wasting your health. I used to make fun of some of my buddies. I called The Weekend Warriors that these guys are running gear for 10 years and they look the same because it would work out Monday through Thursday sometimes Friday and then they'd party and you know [00:58:00] stretch the medium t-shirt.

Bar over the weekend and then they just keep doing the same cycle and I'm not and then when they were not taken gear they weren't even exercising at all. Right, here we go to the gym because what's the point and it's a lifestyle. It's not you're not just doing if you're just doing stuff to like get big and be cool and intimidating at the bar.

You're just doing it for the wrong reason, but we need ever psychological conversations as a physical conversation about things like that. Yeah and. I think it's sometimes just comes with age and I might 20 that was probably in the same bucket. If you're listening to the show and you're intrigued by the discussion about testosterone therapy and maybe you feel like man.

I got to see what this is. Like, I've heard so many good things about it. It changed my life. I've used the analogy a thousand times now that. I mean it was like somebody turned the lights back on in my life. It made it made [00:59:00] everything possible. Again. It made me want to court again. It made me want to do things again.

It made me less grumpy. If you're a grumpy guy, if you're one of those people that you feel like the light has gone out in your life. There's just really nothing left. It's just a slow burn till the end. Now you need to have your testosterone levels tested. And if you don't feel comfortable talking to your doctor about it, I get it.

You can easily get the discussion going over at. The website when I'm home every no I want to I want to I want to tell people that it's a 20% off coupon initial consultation and lab work if you use the code shr and go to the website http://ReNewLifeRx.com get that, you know Carl one thing. Yeah, good good.

Thank you. Tell us they came from you. He's had a couple guys come over to they heard the artists in the show and it's been able to help them and find some solutions because they weren't [01:00:00] getting the best. Here and one thing that we say that maybe will stick in their head as kind of our motto is if you're not testing you're guessing, right?

Yeah, and that's really the truth whether you're taking gear your competitive athlete, you know, we talked to those guys and say hey man, let us look at your blood work and just tell you like you're high risk, or you're not I'm not going to be your mom your mom. I'm not going to tell you that you shouldn't do that.

Don't put, you know, we're not going to do that. I just we want everybody to be healthy. And so if we can offer if you pay a few hundred dollars to find out. But you may be avoiding a serious health issue in the next 18 to 24 months that's worth it. Right because you'll spend the money on the protein and the supplements of the gym membership in the gear take a look at what's going on inside, you know, and if you're looking for some experts are really [01:01:00] interested in really focused and have a ton of experience and taking you through the path of exploring hormone replacement therapy.

What would the company you know where the guys you're working regular guys like me to understand it and doctors who understand the protocols that are going to put you on the right program. There you go. Don't waste any more time. Hi, that's it for today. Let's also thank dr. Jeff Golini. For the first half hour signs for humans.

And of course Adam Lamb http://ReNewLifeRx.com is a sponsor of Superman radio show them some love check them out. Even if you are on hormones now, if you think you're not getting the fair shake you should there's more to it than just testosterone guys are not you know, everybody’s like a oh, well women are complex will know men are too if you're treating men the correctly.

He's complex as well. So check them out and we'll see about it tomorrow with more supremum radio. Thank you for listening today.
