Doctors are pushing prescriptions and creating a drug dependency crisis. What problems is this causing in our society and health? How does hormone imbalance disrupt health? Why is sleep so necessary? On this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jim Meehan who answers these questions and shares on building a firm foundation for your health.

A lot of the problems we have in society today are caused by chronic disease. - Dr. Jim Meehan

Three Takeaways

1. A lot of breast cancer is being stimulated by estrogen dominance with no opposing progesterone.
2. Metabolic disease and insulin resistance are inevitable if you don’t get enough sleep.
3. Antidepressants don’t help with neurotransmitter deficiencies, they create them.

At the start of the show, Dr. Jim shared the main objective of his work which is delivering uncomplicated medicine in a broken system. Next, he talked about how women’s HRT has been neglected, and how that can be fixed. We discussed the importance of getting enough sleep and how doctors are making people even sicker. Towards the end of the show, we talked about how the body can heal itself.

Dr. Jim also shared on
- How society is pushing men to become emasculated
- Why you can’t artificially increase neurotransmitters in the body
- The importance of mindset

Optimization is the only way to save the decline we’re experiencing in society and health. It solves the issues caused by living in a blue light era, problems associated with food and SSRIs. Our goal as a society is to build a firm foundation for our health and it starts with how you think. Things like mindfulness, inflammation control, nutrition, detoxification, sleep, exercise and total hormone balance are incredibly important. Thanks to wearable technology, we can create a rich data set to help people become scientists of their own health. The body has an unlimited potential to heal itself, and this is what we have to lean on.

When it comes to TRT, if you don’t have enough money, you can’t play the game. Why is TRT such a big solution to a lot of health concerns? How do you handle low sex hormone binding globulin? Why is customized care so important? On this episode, John Crisler answers these questions and gives us more of his awesome expertise.

There’s a quantum quality to interventional endocrinology that the numbers and how the guy feels don’t have to match up at all. - John Crisler

Three Takeaways

1. Endocrinology is the only field of medicine where they never naturally think of the half life of the medication.
2. If you give too much DHA to a man it turns into testosterone, if you give too much DHA to a woman it turns into testosterone.
3. People on TRT need less SSRIs, Viagra, and diabetes medication.

At the start of the show, we talked about how finances are holding people back from TRT, and why he’s an outspoken advocate for it. Next we talked about low sex hormone binding globulin and the degradation of the environment. Towards the end of the show, we discussed advanced strategies for TRT.

Dr John also spoke about;

• Why physicians aren’t controlling for estrogen
• Why men with lower sex hormone binding globulin need more shots
• Why everyone needs customized care
• HRT for women
• Why some men do well on HCG and others don’t

People are still debating whether testosterone is good or bad, but we’ve seen so much evidence of the impact it can have on someone’s health. The need for diabetes medication, SSRIs and other medication is diminished by TRT. The use of testosterone with a progressive physician who knows what they’re doing, will solve a great many ills, but the truth of the matter is, everyone requires customized care.

Ketogenic is the buzzword of the day, but most people who think they are on that diet actually aren’t. What is true ketogenic dieting and who is it for? How do give your body enough carbs for training days? What’s the right attitude to have about gaining muscle? On this episode, Jim Brown answers these questions and shares on latest developments in his business.

You can’t maintain an awesome body and be physically strong and productive in the gym unless you’re replenishing your body’s carbohydrate source. -Jim Brown

Three Takeaways

1. At 30 you start losing between 1,8% and 3% natural testosterone a year.
2. The more muscle you have, the more disease resistant you’ll be.
3. There’s no such thing as gaining muscle without gaining fat.

At the start of the show, we talked about upcoming developments for Optimized Life Nutrition. Next, we talked about the importance of replenishing your carb sources, and the benefits of fasting. We also talked about testosterone loss and how you can prevent it. Towards the end of the show, we debunked some ketogenic dieting myths and clarified who it’s for.  

Jim also shared on;

• Diet on training days vs. diet on fasting days
• His Forged Training protocols
• High protein low carb diets and ketogenic diets

Not being proactive about your health is not an option. It’s necessary to make being optimized your priority. On the days you train more, you should be eating more carbs, and fasting is an important way to transform your body metabolically. Remember, there’s no such thing as gaining muscle without gaining fat, but there is a way to minimize gaining fat. If you grow more muscle, you’ll get stronger and even become more disease resistant.

Increasing your testosterone levels is the goal for many people these days, but are we going about it the wrong way? Is there such a thing as too much exercise, too much time in the gym? And what can a good night's sleep do to help you? In this episode, we sit down with star coach Taylor Robbins as he shares his thoughts on efficient training and gives some advice on how to achieve the best results on your journey towards a healthier body and a healthier mind.

There's a balancing dance with hormones that we're trying to accomplish with training. - Taylor Robbins

Takeaways + Tactics

1. For best results with sleep, turn all screens off 90 minutes before you go to bed.
2. The point of training is to come back stronger - so it's important to have adequate rest between training sessions.
3. If you don't know what you're doing in the gym, you're not doing yourself a favor. Hire a coach.
4. Support your adrenal gland with high quality supplements.

We started the show with Taylor talking a bit about his background and his family. Then we discussed the importance of sleep has on testosterone levels. Taylor then gave his thoughts about mediation techniques and supplements. Then we went on to talk about the impact of program design on testosterone levels. We agreed that a lot of training sessions in a row can be damaging. Taylor also mentioned the optimum time for training - up to 45 minutes. We agreed that program design is crucial and means you can achieve results in the gym rather than wasting your time. We also talked about adrenal fatigue and how to deal with it. Taylor then talked about his thoughts on training intensification. Finally, we delved into the Taylor's opinions on the carb-fat continuum and how can ethnicity and culture can affect the decision of how many carbs we eat.

We also talked about;

• Best ways to get quality sleep
• Taylor's favorite supplements
• The 2-day-on-1-off rule
• How overtraining can confuse body balance
• The importance of having a good training plan
• Best supplements for supporting the adrenal gland

Being in good shape isn't just a matter of physicality, you need to work on your mental state, too. When you have a healthy mind, your body will follow soon enough. That's why it's of prime importance to track your sleep schedule and keep it healthy. Make sure to get at least six hours of sound sleep every day. It might just be one simple lifestyle change you need to make to improve your sleeping schedule, however you will start to feel the effects instantly. Additionally, to improve your workout culture, make sure to space out your training sessions. Your body can get overwhelmed if you put too much pressure on it so make sure you give it adequate time to rest and recover. Systems like 2-days-on-1-off can be helpful, but the main thing is finding out what works best for you.
