Adam Lamb
A paper published in February 2019 suggests that men not be treated for late onset hypogonadism until their total testosterone levels is 250ng/dL . This is very worrisome. Many physicians don't even want to prescribe testosterone due to its unfair demonization attracting more scrutiny from various licensure boards. PLUS There is no place in medicine for zealotry. Estradiol and Aromatase Inhibitors are not inherently good or bad. If you see people drawing a line in the sand claiming Aromatase Inhibitors are only good or only bad, run.

[00:00:00] Hey, hey, welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. You know what I just realized and I'm going to I'm going to bring Adam on. Well, I gotta go ahead and play Adams music cuz I gotta get money and hold on a second. The first step to changing your life starts with the ReNew Life Show with Adam Lamb Adam.
[00:00:48] We jamming just now before the show started and it took me back to my nightclub years Rose from the windows to the wall. Do you do you do I not have the best mashups you've ever? That's [00:01:00] good. I was impressed you wanted to scrap the whole talk stuff and just start jamming. I'm telling you I had listen, I'm not lying when I tell you this.
[00:01:07] I have 5,000 of the tightest mashups you've ever heard in your life. One-of-a-kind mashups this so good. They're good. I was jam it. Anyway, how you doing man? Well, what do I do? I'm so sorry. Look at this. I am such a schmuck. Hold on. I forgot we're on video to try. I had you off camera. I'm sorry about thank you.
[00:01:29] We need your face to balance me out. Anyway, so this works out good, right? We could take it on the show on the road. I we could be Beauty and the Beast I'd be the Beast. Hey, how you doing, bro? I'm good, you know actually I had a never I never get sick and I had I'm still so I apologize from a little congested last Thursday.
[00:01:48] I couldn't get out of bed. My wife even said and no one me 15 years. She's never seen me down from that whether it was surgery sick partying back in those days like no and I was just [00:02:00] I was done I couldn't get out of bed. I don't know if I had the flu or something with my kids had something it was nasty.
[00:02:05] So but I feel good, but it's a reminder to be grateful. When you feel good, right sometimes we don't you feel good and then you like or whatever and then you get sick and you're like, oh my God all I want us to feel good. Let's do something that we never do at the beginning of the show before we start talking about really really really interesting stuff here.
[00:02:25] Plug the website ReNew Life RX.com. We have a lot of listeners that are already working with you and I get emails from people constantly. In fact, we have a message if I find it in time before the end of the show. We're going to read it from it from a guy named Danny. But people go to the website, how do they actually interact with you if they want to so the best thing to do is to go to the website and there's just a contact fill out your contact information to find out more in myself or somebody will reach out to talk to them and see where [00:03:00] we can help out and you know, and I can even you know, if someone specifically wants to work with me, they just make their make that request and I can take care of them and it's no problem.
[00:03:11] Yeah, and what your organization is shaping up into is truly an organization that not doesn't just say it's Unique for every patient but really does the work. I mean, I know I'm going to say something and maybe I shouldn't say this, but I know that a lot of probably the majority of your clients they get a call every week from from your organization don't think yeah.
[00:03:36] So, you know one of our philosophies is that. In order to give the best care you have to be present, right? And so if someone says here's your treatment and it's the first time you're doing a treatment, for example, then in you don't really know what you're doing. You don't know what to look for.
[00:03:55] You know, what's working. What's not working maybe? Hello, I guess you know morning [00:04:00] erection or like well, I got it but notice more libido or I know it's a little more girl in the gym, but if you're not really guided on the path, you may miss some of the things whether it's good or bad that can exist.
[00:04:14] Right? And so what we do is our new clients. You're a lot of our clients come from other clinics because they are looking like they know that there's there's maybe something else out there that they're not receiving for the same cost care about it. Right? It's all it's all the same. I'm going to Burger at this point to this place, but the service is great in the burgers better and I'm going to go to that place, right?
[00:04:33] So but there are people that have never done it before and they're scared and it took something that to get them to reach out to us. It was like, you know, I feel comfortable actually taking the. And so we want to guide them through so like we have a set of email from a client just confirming receive delivery.
[00:04:50] And so what we'll do is we schedule call one of our Consultants to got this. Yep understand the directions. You're seeing this great and then every week we talk, how you doing? How you feeling? How [00:05:00] you sleep in? How's your mood? If you notice anything from a confidence standpoint you can see you know, why that's so critically important.
[00:05:05] You know, why that's so critically important. Because people feel things but they don't want to have to take the time to make the phone call find the number sit down and say, you know, I know I just thought of this therapy. Is this normal is this normal? And they push it to the back. They don't do it then they then something else then they start wondering more and they start becoming and they think you know what this isn't really for me by you reaching out to them.
[00:05:31] They I bet a lot of people say, you know, I was thinking of calling. When you reach out to them, the people love the follow-up and I think it's at the other side of it too is I'm nuts about accountability, right? And so if I got to ask you Carl, how you doing? You're like man, I haven't taken HCG in four weeks and this and this is happening.
[00:05:53] Maybe it's a result of it or maybe your you skipped your it estrogen or even travel like, you know, we want to help troubleshoot because [00:06:00] when I explain the clients is like we've worked, you know, I've been doing this for around 10 years and I've worked with almost 10,000 people. I've talked to I've heard their stories.
[00:06:10] I've seen their blood work. I've heard about how it's changed their life, you know, like I've really been amazing perspective. Right, and that's why she's so like when it comes to like that ear to the rail, you know, even like we've talked about having like our medical director one of other Physicians on the show and they're like dude.
[00:06:25] We don't bring the value that you bring because you live your that your the clients earpiece, right? Like I understand the blood work and you know, we understand what those kind of fits in those slots, but the most important thing, you know, and that's our philosophy is are you healthy? And how do you feel the rest of stuff doesn't matter right right if you feel.
[00:06:45] In your blood work is good. Your Healthy like healthy blood work isn't about where your testosterone level is. It's about overall Ryan General. Are you? All right. It's all right. It's those are the those are our main philosophies of feel great and you're healthy. [00:07:00] You're a good spot. And since we you you invoked the word testosterone, we're going to talk about testosterone today.
[00:07:08] Because there are new suggested guidelines for what is considered a hypo. Gonadal, man, and we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about some trending, but I need to say this about testosterone for a second. So testosterone has become a lightning rod. It's unfairly demonized the so much so that I know clinics recently that have taken testosterone off their menu just because they don't want the extra scrutiny.
[00:07:35] The authorities having jurisdiction and that doesn't necessarily mean that yeah, every a lot of time. It's medical licensure in their city. And so I know I know clinics I've said, you know what we're going to do everything else which is not going to do testosterone anymore. And it's just sad because testosterone actually has the ability to save men's.
[00:07:55] And women women women and women made a [00:08:00] foundational and so and so, you know, this this is a new guideline that just came out. I'm looking at it for a second. And it was just released 2000 February 7th of 2019 and it's a multi-centered Proto piece done by a variety of hospitals around the globe. And they've all gotten together and they've compared their notes with other organizations like the European Society of endocrinology and European Academy of andrology and the American Association of Urology and the list goes on and on and they compiled all this great information and they determine that.
[00:08:42] An indicator of male testosterone replacement therapy should occur only if a man is in the 250 nanogram a dekaliter range. This is so this would be like saying [00:09:00] if you believe if you believe what type 2 diabetes. And you realize the damage that ragingly high blood sugar levels can wreak on the organs and tissue in your body.
[00:09:14] It would be that like them saying Oh diabetes is doesn't start at $125 grams. We're going to start it at 600 because that's like really where you start going into a coma like well clearly, we're not brother. That would be the at that would be the example. I want to I think that it's kind of like saying I don't treat depression until someone's attempted suicide.
[00:09:37] Yeah. Yeah, exactly exactly. If a guy is a 250 he's sick and he's been sick a while and he's exposed to all sorts of neurological disorders heart problems higher probability of having dementia. I mean the list goes on and on that correlates to testosterone in men and then you have these authorities going [00:10:00] no.
[00:10:00] We need to let's just wait until it's 14 because then you know, he doesn't need to be treated anymore because now he's dead he's dead. All right, right right there. It's like what's what's let's get the men and women to be equal on the testosterone level here. Like it's almost like that's that would be an analogy as well to go to it.
[00:10:19] I mean for us what we see the men that come over to stas throne is in that range are I mean you're talking they're our biggest advocates. We change their lives massively and from an improvement standpoint. Like they don't realize you know, it's some of the feedback that I get and there's probably a couple guys I can think of the word come from your show that we're in that low range and it's a total reversal of life, you know, a lot of the guys met at the end of the day.
[00:10:50] Like I said earlier, how do you feel and are you healthy, right? And so. There's guys based on you know, if they were high [00:11:00] shbg that 500 can feel like 250, you know, and that's a lot of people don't really understand that but that's that's it. There's a big thing to pay attention to in testosterone and essay.
[00:11:15] Oh, oh, it looks like we lost the camera but I'm sure he'll be right back on. So let's just carry this for a second because he's usually pretty hip about no. Okay. Well, let's see where we are. We're only 12 minutes into the broadcast. I guess I could take a break here until we have Adam back on and then we're going to get on with this discussion.
[00:11:37] So stay tuned. We'll be right back with more superhuman radio. Let me roll some music.
[00:11:47] Welcome back. We lost you there, but that's okay. It's easy to pick up. Very very quickly here. Let me get the right Mouse in my hand here. Turn that back on. We actually have a question [00:12:00] from Diego papparella. If I could find the button to press to get it to show up there. There it is. So he says I deal with at least five to seven guys a day.
[00:12:12] Who come to see me with type 2 diabetes and every single one of them has low testosterone. So is it the chicken and or the Egg situation? Well, I know that every time I fix their testosterone from 200-300 nanograms of dekaliter to seven eight. Their blood sugar normalizes every single time and you're absolutely right about this and this and see the sad part about all that is this has been known or let's say this I'm going to use the word observed instead of known because we're seeing in today's climate of doublespeak and and the exact meanings of words being misinterpreted.
[00:12:54] I don't think that they know it because to know it you have to be. Have to observe it [00:13:00] but then you have to accept it like okay, I believe that I don't believe that but you have to let it in the gate and I think what a lot of doctors do today is they've heard these studies, but they tell they don't take a second to learn more about them.
[00:13:12] They dismiss them so they don't really know it. They've just observed it but it's there's no there's no we've known this for a long time that you normalize a guy's testosterone his type 2 diabetes goes away. Right? And I think that it's just they don't understand it. There's not. There's not a tremendous amount of current studies being done because as we know there's there isn't a ton of money in testosterone.
[00:13:34] So it's ends up off to the Wayside. Unfortunately. There's a ton of money in type 2 diabetes medicine. So the new the new so this is something else I want to bring to the fore and by the way, I chew gum during the show and now that I do video I just saw myself doing it at all. I can't do that anymore.
[00:13:51] So. When you look at testosterone 20 years ago when I really started paying attention to this kind [00:14:00] of stuff. The low for hypogonadism was 420. now. Why would it change I mean either like in other words blood sugar doesn't change from generation to generation, right? They don't they don't say, oh, you know diabetes thoughts at 125 milligrams of my back in the day.
[00:14:20] It used to start at 85. No, but why does the why did why does the Target for what is considered? Hypo gonadal in men? And that's because we get these numbers by doing these large-scale studies where we just look at a massive number of people always 6,000 men. Okay, here's what we found the normal was that the mean was the low it's not we're going to use that but the problem is they don't take into account that there's a higher saturation or population of sick men already being put into those numbers.
[00:14:57] So we're seeing this. Men [00:15:00] dragging the what is low down further because because the medical Orthodox is go well. His testosterone 250 maybe he feels like crap but he's not dead. So I guess it's okay down there and nobody's paying attention to this. But here's is Olaf and it you know, it's something else to treat your depression in here's a Viagra to write up for the extra performance.
[00:15:25] Right? Right. Yeah, I think that too. You know sometimes you know my experience with a lot of Physicians they are they're just a little scared because they don't know a ton about it. They haven't done it themselves, you know any physician out there over 40 who's not exploring personal hormone replacement therapy hormone.
[00:15:46] It's like that to me is Crazy Town that's like working it in a vegan food place and you know not being vegan. Right like usual. You're right there in the mix and you're the age the time it because if they did explore that [00:16:00] personally they would go man. I really want to share this with all these other people that I that I see because it could be the solution for that.
[00:16:09] And the funny thing is testosterone replacement therapy has been around long enough now, Um that we can start to see the realities in the trends that you know, testosterone therapy doesn't give men heart attacks. Those studies were flawed because they took men that already had heart problems hell you could have given them giving them a Twinkie a day.
[00:16:29] They went it's all Twinkies. Cause heart attacks. The reality is that we now see a population of men that have been on testosterone for 20 plus years and we see them faring better than their non testosterone enhanced counterparts. We see this it's like an N equals many type study out there. And so I think I told you about our oldest client who is 98 years old and he was on his deathbed it 95 got on testosterone replacement therapy one of [00:17:00] his his his position is also a client of ours but not an expert in the space.
[00:17:05] You know, he's like you didn't want any like he's older and you know how facilitate all the stuff he does the blood work physical all this up for us and the guys healthier now at 98 then he was in 95 like still and he has like this and it could. Clicks I'll ask of you know, house you doing and get stuff like that sweet work directly with the physician.
[00:17:24] He's like man, he's kicking ass and like it's just amazing. Right and that's the only thing he's like you would be dead. Had it not been for working with you guys, right? That's pretty cool. Especially 98 years old like I hope to live to 98 plus. Yeah, Darcy Clark says something that I think a lot of us know when we believe to the reason that there's an epidemic is puss Pat the really in the end of the story.
[00:17:47] There's no money and make keeping people healthy. There's only money and keeping people alive once they're sick and you know, when you say that to somebody they look at you and think. Oh, well your conspiracy theorist. No, [00:18:00] no, no, no if you look at the medical industry like a. If you if so let's say you make a widget that is the answer to a problem and if you make that widget and it lasts a lifetime, you're only going to sell in certain number of widgets and you're going to be out of business, but if it continually breaks and people get used to using it.
[00:18:19] They're like. Makes my life easier, but every year or two, I gotta buy another one, but that's okay because it makes my life easier. That's where the money is. Well in the same thing what I tell people is that as long as cigarettes and alcohol or legal. No one really cares about your health and even if you pull out the haulback, you know, I think that there we have a major problem they'll call in this country but cigarettes alone as long as cigarettes are League like they're proven to do zero good.
[00:18:46] There's nothing like well, you know, it's estimated four million. It's estimated that four million people a year. Die from direct tobacco use or one of the [00:19:00] diseases that has been attributed to it. Yeah. I think it's four million people. I mean, you know when you when you hear these arguments amongst the.
[00:19:08] Politicians of the world, you know, they're like, well, we want to get rid of this thing that causes 30,000 deaths a year. This is horrible. This is terrible and then but meanwhile you take tax from the tobacco. Three to pave your roads and all that sort of stuff and they kill 4 million people here, but that's cool because they pay see in the United States and probably all countries.
[00:19:28] You can kill people without being punished. In fact, you can kill people and beep and profit from it is long as you share some of your money with the government and they'll keep you protected. I mean really people going to oh, that's terrible. That's your cynic know, it's it's it's look at it. It's plain truth.
[00:19:44] I think it was a simple thing. Like I said, is that as long as cigarettes? Our legal to go and buy no one really gives a shit about your health, right? You have your responsible for right? It's undeniable. Right? I mean and so [00:20:00] that's when I think it put into that context people see it. And so, you know going back to also I think there's a part of it from when you know, the guys that I know there's a woman that we work with I'll give her a shout out.
[00:20:13] Her name is Ava diamond and she's like a mindset coach mental mentality coach and things like that. She's. Like I said how old she is but she's in her let's she's mature and she's fit takes care of herself and really really loves the hormones face because she sees and she's even said like I wouldn't date a guy that wasn't doing hormone replacement there because she sees the different.
[00:20:36] She's like I wouldn't want it because he's because guys that just there's like their difference of when you were hormones are optimized you have this energy your outgoing in like your lifted to a higher state than when you if. 250 range and you're just moping around and I think what happens is that the people are like I'm scared to do the [00:21:00] hormone therapy.
[00:21:01] So I'm going to make it sound or look bad because I don't want to be intimidated by these people that are doing it, you know that are having the success that are having to Lust For Life or whatever. I'm reading of comment here. I'm going to try to put it up real quick. Diego pepper. Ella says, I think he's calling the drug metformin into play here.
[00:21:25] II remember the studies on Metformin lowering testosterone, I do remember those they were early on and they've been since forgotten by, you know, there's a portion of the population that believes if you're on HRT take Metformin to because you don't have to worry about the testosterone lowing of lowering effects, but believe me if it affects her.
[00:21:46] Ostrom it affects the rest of the systems that are related to sex hormones. I predict are going to find out years from now that taking metformin causes less of the the testosterones affinity [00:22:00] for the for the receptor. I'll bet anything that they're going to find that out. And so look metformin everybody thinks metformin is the greatest thing in the world and you talk to him you say well, what about fasting?
[00:22:14] Yeah, it does some of the things but metformin you can still eat and and and get the same benefits. No, you can't fool your body. I know you think you are but the body is so smart that you think you're fooling it because something else is being sacrificed instead because of what you're making the body do case in point go get liposuction.
[00:22:34] Guess what happens when you get liposuction new fat pops up inside the rib cage where you can't get to it anymore. The body is so intelligent that it knows I need that fat. Where can I put it with this? Asshole won't get it next time. I know I'm not gonna be a trial. Earlier this morning that the body survival is number one.
[00:22:54] Yeah about even give a shit about your agenda. They don't care about you want to get six pack abs or [00:23:00] you know, you lower calories or the do the put yourself through strenuous exercise the body watch survival right over some of the things that we met exteriorly want to obtain. This is true to I want to just make this comment and we're going to go back on Darcy Clark says but luckily there are very brave and Progressive doctors and practitioners out there and this this is actually true and this speaks to something that those of you who've been listening to me for a long time.
[00:23:28] No for the past. Probably seven or eight years at least from around the time where I started to read the book by. Oh God, I'm going to get his name. But anyway, the when I started to look at at Anthropologie closer and I started to see what selection pressures were selection pressures change, sometimes they were whether something you know, sometimes they were lack of food.
[00:23:57] Sometimes they were viruses that [00:24:00] plagues and now the new selection pressure is where you get your information from and this speaks to a Darcy saying that you know, we have good. That they're carrying the word we have people and I'd like to think you and I are in that group that are trying to get the word out.
[00:24:18] We're not trying to we're not trying to change your mind. We're trying to give you information that you ultimately can process. And whether you change your mind is up to you. I don't care but the reality is that where you get your information from is the new selection pressure because if you are believing this group over here that haven't popcorn before going to sleep at night is actually a good snack for the kids.
[00:24:40] They're not going to be. 300 years from now. Because their children won't have children and then that'll just erase them from the gene pool. And what we are seeing right now. Is it thinning of the herd but instead of it being a plague that's killing 40 million people in one swipe. It's a slower plague [00:25:00] where there's going to be a thinning of the herd and actually and I know people are going to be pissed off to be a divide the stupidest stupid people.
[00:25:07] Yes, did the intelligent people are going to continue to go forward and the stupid people are going to be erased from the gene pool. And there's nothing you can do about this and I'm not doing it because we're all part of the marching heard because there are those on one side or just interested in taking money from you.
[00:25:25] And they'll give you what they'll tell you. Oh, it's okay to be fat. You're still healthy. No, it's not and then there's the rest of us out here. We have a much smaller audience on our side telling you the truth. So you can make good decisions your grandchildren and great grandchildren. They will go on this group over here.
[00:25:40] Not so much not so well and I think it goes back to what we're talking about is we're we're talking about a lifestyle that requires you to step outside of the norm step outside of the box have. Discipline have more accountability, you know, maybe spend a little bit more money and something your health which should [00:26:00] be the most important thing, you know, some of those things that isn't quite in the line of the masses, right?
[00:26:07] And so, you know, there's people that would say you go to the gym five days a week. That's crazy. Right and I might head I think how could you not go to the gym, you know three or four days a week and how do you how do you not feel like crap all the time? Right and it's just a difference of.
[00:26:21] Perspective but I think that like you said that the people that are looking at Beyond, you know, I don't know we talked about this but we're opening Stem Cell clinic here in the next couple months here in Texas the woodlands and we also invite anybody who is interested in that you can come down.
[00:26:38] We're going to have people flying in any way. But that's because that's next level stuff. Right? I want to live to a hundred fifty years old some people laugh at that. But listen man, I'm 39. If I don't if I can avoid getting hit by a bus. I've done my genetic testing, you know, I know the things that could have pre disposition for and I stay healthy [00:27:00] and clean.
[00:27:01] Don't drink don't smoke all that stuff. I'm gonna live 250. I wanna see my kids kids kit, you know like yeah right by goals and some people they laugh at that but there's other clients of mine that are like the reason I want to work with you is because that's what you believe because that's the way I believe right and I want to get on that bus right other people are like that's nuts.
[00:27:18] You know, they don't they don't they don't want to share that so that's the philosophy of us. So we get we're getting questions. I'm going to put up real quick and then we're going to take a break in a little bit. So Pedic. Open August wants to know if you have clinics or you can you do business with people in other countries.
[00:27:36] We can if you're able to come to this country and we can knock it all out blood work physical get your stuff and send you on your way. That's possible. We have said we've had some clients. They spend some time either. Usually there's some Canadians at the he'll come here to the US for few habitats.
[00:27:53] If that's a big that's a big ask some time for some people. How about this? So Darcy wants to know what don't see Clark wants to know what type of stem [00:28:00] cell treatment that you'll be providing. So I'm not the stem cell expert by the co-founder of that clinic. It's so it's going to be a separate clinic will be doing but it will be any want to hack it up.
[00:28:15] It's we won't be. No, we will not be extracting stem cells spinning them put in but we're not going it's going to be all the umbilical cord stem the existing stuff. There's a lot of stuff out there. There's this stem cell from stem cells from fat here is one of the best books ever. Yeah, but we won't be doing the stuff that it'll be harvested umbilical stem cell that's in our opinion the best of the best and so I have a friend that's already.
[00:28:40] Doing a guy grew up with actually really successful doing it really good. And I said, why don't we open one up here? And you know, it's let's do it. I think I think Darcy is asking if it's going to be mesenchymal stem cells. Yes, that's why I didn't want to embarrass myself and try to tempt the MC right to pronounce.
[00:28:58] Yeah, as in Carmel [00:29:00] takes a little while, you know it you it's easier for people. I predict that speak Hebrew to say mesenchymal and then non-hebrew people because because if you if you've ever had. Time in Israel, and there's a there's a pronunciation of certain words that they have the after the S and sits a little Spanish learning Spanish right now in Rosetta Stone, which is the Rosetta Stone.
[00:29:23] I didn't I never looked at it. That's all. Yeah, and but I understand because I talk and I don't like the Gringo when I'm trying to speak interested in the so real quick before we take a break and when we come back, we're going to talk about zealotry and estradiol or really there's no place for zealotry and treating individuals.
[00:29:41] So men will be harmed by the if Physicians become I want to go full circle to what I said about the demonization of testosterone. So right now there are Physicians out there who will go exclusively by the book and their patients will come in and they go I feel horrible. I feel this I feel that I feel that [00:30:00] and they'll check their testosterone.
[00:30:01] It's 280 and they'll say know your testosterone is fine. Because you know, that's what they say. They don't tell you testosterones close to the low end. They don't say that when you call say, how's my blood sugar doc fine? How's my blood pressure will see you fine. How's my cholesterol docs fine.
[00:30:16] They have these parameters in their head, but they anything in that scope of parameter. That's fine. Don't know need to have a discussion with the patient. So, you know, there's a lot of guys that are going to be it appropriately misdiagnosed who will probably felt horrible when they hit 400 Nano grams of dekaliter and now there are.
[00:30:35] Hey there, 280 in the doctors go. No, it's not that but I can give you you know, I can give you a Xanax for the anxiety and will give you a little metformin for the type 2 diabetes and all that sort of stuff. yeah, I think it's just fear think of it as fear, right I can in most situations when people are.
[00:30:56] Trying to avoid something it's fair. It's why they won't [00:31:00] I've had a lot of clients. We work a lot of people to come to us just for blood work and consultation on their blood work right just to give him just to check the blood work because they'll ask their physician. And will you check my uh FSH shbg testosterone?
[00:31:15] I don't even know what else they say. No and in the and I tell you know, there are quiet. We can't explain it. Sometimes we put all Physicians on this pedestal and it's not fair. Like these guys are they can't know everything right? Like they that's why we need experts and it's okay to like not know, you know, we have I think we're counting the end of this year.
[00:31:35] We had 52 Physicians heart surgeons. You name it right that they just know they're like this isn't my space. You guys are good at it right you right. Let me do it. Right we have guys entire Clinic a surgeon's that Oliver on hormone replacement and they love it there. Their whole business is more successful since working with us, and it's not in there.
[00:31:55] But hey, I need neck surgery. I'll give them a call because that's their space right or [00:32:00] answer to whatever so that that sometimes at the challenge. We got a question from Mark Decor so that we're going to address on the other end of this quick commercial break. So stay tuned you're listening to.
[00:32:15] The ReNew Life RX show here at superhuman radio network. Welcome back. We have a question actually have two questions. I'm going to you and I'll answer one of them and then you'll answer the other one by yourself. So first Mark says what's your take on saturated fat and hormones? I was pre-diabetic for years and then the whole food very low fat high quality carb diet was the only thing that helped me.
[00:32:45] There's a lot of questions I have so I'm hoping these will still listening live because in order to answer these questions this I have questions, you know, what your protein intake like now, you mentioned High healthy carbs, so [00:33:00] I'm thinking. Talking grains. Those are not healthy, but here's the bottom line if it worked for you you found it.
[00:33:08] That's it. So don't do no matter what I think now you did ask you you added at the beginning of the the the question. What's your take on fats and hormones, but you never mentioned. How are your hormones now that you're eating this way? I'm assuming that maybe you're concerned about them because you're not getting any saturated fat.
[00:33:33] What do you think? I think that it's about balance. But like you said the most important thing that like you said is there is no and this goes this spills over into the hormone conversation. There is no one way to do it. All you can do. Carnivore diet you can be vegan. You could be pick whatever you want if it works for you and you're healthy and you're happy.
[00:33:54] That's what works best for you. And I think that sometimes because there's so many variables like we talked [00:34:00] about two different studies of testosterone or estrogen or whatever might be out there. There's you know this situation maybe he also started going to the gym and did this and you know, like what are the other things that happen in life?
[00:34:10] You know what I mean? Like you can you can start eating more have your fats low carbs and things like that. So he really he really is eating good carbs. Well, I would I would argue with the legumes but sweet potatoes is Magic sweet potatoes yams and magic and the truth of the potatoes in general.
[00:34:29] You can get red potatoes. They have a little more amylopectin than amylase and so then amylose, I'm sorry. And so they digest slower. He also says. Trt his test is 900 God Bless you that's a good place to be so, you know now if you're asking me could your test be higher without trt if you had saturated fat in your diet, absolutely because you need cholesterol to build [00:35:00] all the parent parental sex hormones for your progesterone pregnant alone.
[00:35:03] So on. You don't need to worry about that you saying that 900 on tonti AR T. That's a good place to be that's a really good place to be. I like that. I like that. He also says let's see here. Well having a conversation this way. I'm always confused as diabetes is A build-up of fatty acids know that is so diabetes is A build-up of fatty acids is the argument that the vegans make for not eating meat.
[00:35:35] That was the whole premise of Forks Over Knives. That was the whole premise of Forks Over Knives. That fat causes insulin resistance that's tits. That's the furthest thing from the truth. And when you look at the studies that some of those guys did or and or used to come to that you realized it the holes in the whole discussion here.
[00:36:02] [00:36:00] So he says too much saturated fat if you have familial hypo so. There there's no real such thing as familial hypo calistri Mia or even a propensity to diabetes and then and now people go say oh but my father had a my grandfather had my head remember no no. No, here's the deal all those people that you're going to site that also had diabetes or had hyper hyper classic less tree Mia.
[00:36:30] They ate the same diet that you're eating. Because your great-grandmother taught your grandmother your great-grandmother your great grandmother told your grandmother your grandmother talked to your mother. So when we look at this thing about the familial prepare no, it's the familial diet propensity to cause these diseases.
[00:36:49] So if you change your diet, you'll find that out and you know, I use this analogy about. Genetics geneticist probably get pissed off but if a man [00:37:00] jumps in the ocean and takes a deep breath, he drowns. Right right you and I would say don't do that geneticists would say if we could just figure out the genes that will allow them to breathe water.
[00:37:11] We could fix this problem. No, you just don't jump in the ocean and and hail water. That's it. That's an easier way to than redesigning everything. So it's not the genetics. It's the it's the environment and in the environment I'm talking about what they. Learn to eat and cook. That's what passes the familial propensity to certain disorders down.
[00:37:33] Yeah, I think that goes from things we see to there. I think that there's people with some hereditarily higher cholesterol. But to your point that's not all of it, right? It's like that like when someone says they're big bone, right? What kind of kind of you might have a bigger bone structure but lets you know, there's there's there's another side of that credit.
[00:37:55] But again, it's what you put in the engine that causes the exhaust right if [00:38:00] you put kerosene you get really a billowing smoke out of your exhaust pipe, but if the engine right, but if you put. You know, what's it called the different type of fuel in the engine and the engine isn't good at processing that fuel you may have also the air filter issues and things like that to right and so in that just comes from you know, like I just did and we'll save that for maybe the next time instead of that done a that 23andMe and it a ton of genetic testing and those kind of things that which is really cool really interesting but you know, there's stuff just like we talked about medications.
[00:38:35] Foods you like the topic for certain things that aren't good for your body because of who you are what you're used to you know, my body processes caffeine faster than most people right? So it most people like me there don't drink caffeine or they drink a ton of caffeine because it's like 30 minutes.
[00:38:52] It's out of my system where most people a little cup of coffee can less than two hours. Right? It's so everybody's different and by I might [00:39:00] change my caffeine intake and say well hey I drink 800 milligrams a day. That's fine, but someone else might follow my. Vice of what Adam? Does it it almost have a heart attack?
[00:39:08] Right? So it in all that stuff has to come into play. We have to be conscious of that. So now we're going to get to the last topic and I want to use something that just happened to kind of move towards that so diet has become dogma and as a result what I'm learning about the human population as we like being part of a tribe, And we want to pick our tribe based.
[00:39:35] What we perceive is virtues and so more people are interested in certain diets not because it's actually a better outcome for their health and body and it's going to make them long live longer. But because they're part of that tribe, you know, it's about the vegan diet. Oh, I'm a carnivore and.
[00:39:51] Part of the issue with one of the earlier questions about you know, this is how I eat. I'm doing really well. Yeah, and you're not part of a tribe [00:40:00] and we need to learn that our diet if your diet your choice in diet comes with. A membership card a special handshake an annual Cruise where you all get together and just Groove Together, you know be with like-minded people now, it's not a diet anymore say it's a cultural event.
[00:40:19] It's a social event and you're not choosing this diet because it's better for you. And the reason I point this out is because this is called zealotry. At work. Yeah, I know. I was surprised that so the Zealot the word the Zealot will used back in biblical time to describe the Maccabee. The Maccabee were called they were they will consider Jewish zealots and they fought against King.
[00:40:47] They didn't want to be slaves. They didn't like the way people were being treated. And so they they rose up and they actually took over Masada The Mountaintop Hideaway of King Herod that he had built in [00:41:00] case his son was going to try to kill him which he ended up killing his son before that. But anyway, they took it over it took the Roman.
[00:41:08] Like I don't remember how many weeks to get them out of there. They couldn't get him out another that's the term Zealot like you believe so strong about this house. I'm going to strap a bomb to myself and walk in there right now, the definition said fanatical and uncompromised uncompromising. Yes, and and so whenever diet or Medical Treatments or anything that's really important to you starts to become like that where people pick camps and they're like, no you're wrong.
[00:41:35] No you're wrong. Add becomes danger. You should back away from that go. Okay. I don't want to be part of that turmoil and we see estradiol has become a dividing line in the sand between Physicians today prescribing HRT, and it's at the risk right now of becoming zealotry. No, hey eyes are horrible for you.
[00:41:57] Don't ever take them. No, every man [00:42:00] gets an AI with his testosterone. These are two fringes of the way. It should be handled and that is. depending on how you feel and your symptoms. And depending how you respond to this very unique form of testosterone because it's not being made in a possible tool fashion.
[00:42:19] If you give it a guy sippy innate we will see how much estrogen you produce and if it's fairly high, but you don't have any symptoms and you actually feel better. Your libido is better than it's ever been then you probably belong there at that ratio. But this idea that no aromatase Inhibitors are horrible.
[00:42:39] I mean, that's not true just like. I've always disagreed with HRT clinics that go here's your 250 milligrams a week and just take a take a half a milligram of vanishes all every other day. You don't even know how this guy's going to respond to the testosterone you already give it a managed to resolve really right.
[00:42:56] None of none of that is right. And like I said, you know if we touch down [00:43:00] a little bit earlier and you can probably gather if you look through this conversation and this is our philosophy is never everything is something you know specific right? Like that's why we. These we don't talk every other week just because we like want to see how your family's doing.
[00:43:16] We want to check that, you know, based on your initial blood work. We believe this this and this right and when you've done this thousands of times you tend to be more right, you know then wrong. But everybody's different right so we went to check. How you feeling. How's this? How's your mood? How is your is your is your skin being oily?
[00:43:37] Your are you finding is there is acne developing you find yourself emotionally like we joke like as guys that you know, we kind of keep things like you find yourself like crying it commercials. We kind of laugh. But what it does is it allows them to think like a my kind of like do I react in a negative emotionally way and I led to other things bothered me because.
[00:43:57] Things that might seem like rage like [00:44:00] testosterone rager Roid Rage. Sometimes that's estrogen. That's right. Your your most show studies. We've done almost 15 or 16 years ago that showed that that men's moodiness was more closely tied to their estradiol levels and ratio of estradiol to testosterone than their testosterone levels, but you know, we're not what I'm worried about.
[00:44:22] What I'm worried about is and I got to put Darcy on the carpet here for a. This is what I don't want T RT Ai and AI is like putting logs on the fire while pouring water on the fire simultaneously. Well that see this this attitude this hard and fast a eyes are all bad or a eyes are all good is not the right place to be when talk about a is because for some men a eyes may be required and for me personally if you know.
[00:44:56] I did every way from Sunday. I've been doing this for 10 years what I am [00:45:00] not taking in AI I am not as happy. I don't feel as good in my body is what I take an AI I feel when taken a I feel tighter drier. I feel less bloat. I feel like less maybe forehead like this just goofy stuff that happens in emotionally.
[00:45:17] I am better fuck. I personally am emotionally and function better with lower estrogen and and then there's guys out there. Me where I was on two grams of test a gram of deca and 600 mg of trend and a week for probably a year and a half to almost two years and my estradiol levels never got above 60 like that's insane.
[00:45:42] That's insane. I am not a high aromatize ER but I have a high but I am a high-five of reducer. I'll produce a lot more DHT so, you know, it's stupid and that's my point my point about all this is. There are studies out there that show that when men are on trt [00:46:00] and they get an AI it actually causes them not to build muscle is fast and it also causes them not to lose body fat as fast but those are men probably that didn't require an AI and the reason I'm pointing this out is that we have to be careful to say a eyes are only good.
[00:46:18] Everyone should be on the more a eyes only bad. No one should ever be on them and start looking at people. Just like the diet question, you know works for you. If you told me I eat this in 93 sugar cubes in the morning for breakfast and I'm like, hey, that's your that's your personalized diet.
[00:46:34] That's it. You unlock the code. You should be jumping up and down and knowing when to use an aromatase inhibitor because a man is having symptoms at what you perceive to be an okay level of of estradiol seems can be psychological Rhino mean. First I've seen you know, what in studying with you know, you know about my experience with have a book on alcohol abuse.
[00:46:59] I [00:47:00] work a lot of people in that we talked about we did a show actually about how alcohol and drug abuse can also be associated with low testosterone. It's also associated with high estrogen big time. I've seen guys come over there when their blood Works looked at their have addiction issues testosterone is low their estrogen dominant, right so you can't say.
[00:47:21] The only worry estrogen goes is that that's where it's going to be it can lead to it and I'll tell you this especially in the women's side where the two things that we see in women number one low testosterone, right which is the most ignored thing. You're most OBGYNs and won't even think about it then was to risk that's crazy town, but it's the the number one thing that we see help women feel better and get their body physically to be functioning better.
[00:47:45] Number two problem. We see is woman's estrogen to high especially for. Each I'm talking they're crazy. And these are people, you know, some of these are women that I know personally known for years. I know their [00:48:00] husbands really. Well, they sit and talk right like open like letting it all out type thing, and we've dropped their estrogen down.
[00:48:09] In the clouds part sun's out that birds are chirping and they feel good again, because what was going on is their estrogen levels were there in their 40s, but their estrogen levels had come up for whatever reason environmentalism for the reading, you know, whatever it might be. And that it put their body in this conflict of our we are we at age of having babies.
[00:48:30] You're not your group there premenopausal and there's it when conflict and confusion is going on in your body. It can create all kinds of all kinds of issues. Psychological and most and most HRT doctors don't treat women properly because of what you're saying and what I'll tell you what I mean by that so A woman has several phases of her of her ovulation and cycle.
[00:48:54] Yeah, if you pick the estradiol level of the luteal phase. But the progesterone [00:49:00] level of the follicular phase the body never sees that and so when a lot of these doctors they look at ranges for estrogen and testosterone, you know see 1 e 2 e 3 to stash her own progesterone and and maybe pregnant alone.
[00:49:18] They look at these in a vacuum. Each of them has arranged a go. That one's in its range. That one's it's but when you line them all up part of our hormones are in the follicular. Phase part of a hormones are in the luteal phase part of a hormones of the ovulating phase bodies all confused and that's right.
[00:49:34] That's why HRT doesn't work for some women a doctor needs to go where should a woman be I say exactly the opposite of her period because as she gets close to a period And as she comes out of a period She doesn't feel good, but that bottom half of the circle where she spends a lot of time and that's what she feels.
[00:49:54] And that is where all the hormone levels should be attracted to fall into that Groove. [00:50:00] So her body is in sync and thinks yes. I am in you know, the the I think it's the follicular phase that they like to be in but I forget what it is, but. That's the problem with women's hormone replacement therapy.
[00:50:13] Well, and I think that from what we see too is that a lot of times, you know, testosterone being an upstream hormone that we correct our testosterone and like you said in that cycle trying to line all these balls up so they fit this perfect thing the body will actually do that on its own when you fix what may be the problem being testosterone right?
[00:50:34] It's just us we're going to low side and these are women that are going to the gym regularly there. They're like, you know, Have you listened if you're 40 pounds overweight and you eat like crap and you drink a bunch of sugar pop and you sit on the couch and watch junk all day long, it doesn't matter what your testosterone as but if you have this like go get it for like life mentality or up your a hundred miles an hour, you know, I think it's only with my wife who's fit and awesome professional all those kind of things it if her [00:51:00] testosterone drops it's going to hurt right but when you fix that and then when that hurts some of the other things start getting off, but you we see so many times.
[00:51:09] We come to us and they're on pregnenolone and estrogen and progesterone and all these creams of patches and stuff and they're still a mess. Right and then we have them off go off 30 days so we can actually see what's going on inside of you because like you said, they're trying to line all these things up there.
[00:51:24] Like let's just try to stop showing that for now and then also they're like, okay I've seen women. I've seen women take DHEA and never need another thing. I know I remember a woman at my old gym, and she started going through menopause and she was telling me, you know, she wasn't feeling good shadow.
[00:51:38] Angie she was having hot flashes and stuff. And I said to her I said you can buy DHEA and try it'll turn into vote testosterone and estrogen and she never needed anything else. That was at for all I know she's still on the DHEA. So you're absolutely right and to come full circle to close the show and I want to put Darcy [00:52:00] clock comment up there to about talking about context and he agrees, you know, you gotta everybody gets to get the treatment that they deserve.
[00:52:08] But they need and I agree with that but I just want to come full circle and say there is no place for zealotry in medicine. The any if someone if someone is protecting if somebody is protecting their position, they're not open to learn and they want everyone to switch over to their position think hard about following their advice.
[00:52:32] Think hard because and I think that word that you use the zealotry. Like I said, I've never heard of it before I've heard of like overzealous. That's it. That's a derivative of that work. Yeah, so but I think in researching the word, you know something I'm very passionate about two enemies of your life will always be ego and pride guess this will light up really good with that word.
[00:52:53] Right? Because when you think you know it all you the ability to learn or have a [00:53:00] perspective of. Wait something outside of what you know is very limited. Right? So you have to be open-minded. That's it. We're very open minded on things like peptides we talked about we're bringing a whole slew of peptides out but we spent the last nine ten months with our kind of inner circle Physicians, you know quiet sevilla's long time doing different peptide stuff seeing the results so that we can go.
[00:53:24] Okay. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, you know it makes we can offer that to our clients, but I think that anyone that just like well I read this. No way don't do it, but I don't know that that's the best the best way to do it. No, I agree. Hey, by the way, I will be at the Arnold and I'll be at the redcon one booth all day Saturday.
[00:53:44] So if anybody is in going to be at the Arnold and I would say come by and see me, but you'll have no choice once you get in that crowd and you start moving with the Sea of bodies. You just you have no choice but to just continue on up and down the [00:54:00] aisles. Oh, no next weekend next weekend next weekend the 28th the 28th through the third, I believe it is.
[00:54:06] Yeah when I was in Detroit, it was easy three-hour drive you to go down there for the weekend and I haven't been in a while. So I've been to the old so that was actually warmer for you going from Detroit to Columbus for me. It's so cold up there compared to hear it. Right. I mean for you it's called the way you were coming down.
[00:54:24] You were like Arnold is such a I think for those young people in the fitness kind of you know, like they're new to the game. It's a cool place and it's it doesn't get any bigger better than I mean, it's the Super Bowl of of the that industry stuff. But I think when you're kind of been in, you know, I've been to 1012 Arnold's that I'm like the people the smelt like, you know, like you just but it's.
[00:54:50] It's such a cool event. And I think for I was looking at old Facebook pictures I had of me going. I'd like a picture with everybody. Yeah, right, you know everybody Pro [00:55:00] bodybuilder, you know just a cool thing. So she gave Jake Jay Cutler was by far like the most patient with people because people.
[00:55:07] When he was competing, you know, the people would line up and they would just they would clog up complete Lanes, you know couldn't get from one side of the hall to the other because and he was always and he always you know, he stood there and he shook every hand. He looked at everybody's face. He smiled for the camera and then he did it again.
[00:55:25] That's that would be just completely not nice to me. I don't think I can go that's amazing. Yeah, but I'll be there at the red-hot redcon one booth. So those of you who are going to be at the Arnold. Week just listen for my voice. You'll hear me talkin. I'm loud. I don't need a mic. I look we'll see you.
[00:55:42] So we answered everyone's questions. We covered the bases what we want to get said past the show around because it's important men need to be no one sticks up for men. You know that I'm serious. No one sticks up for men. So just think about that black white Latin [00:56:00] yellow. I don't care what your skin looks like.
[00:56:01] Nobody sticks up for men. So if we don't start tightening our game up, But he's not good for other. Okay, great. See everybody to know tomorrow's Friday. I'm off the air. See you everybody Monday great show.
