I have practiced hormone, weight, health, and mind optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 9 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated seven medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. As we enter our pauses (menopause and andropause), our hormones become disrupted, causing us to gain weight, suffer from the inability to lose the extra weight, sleeping disorders, hormonally induced anxiety and depression, loss of interest in being intimate, and lose our motivation to be social. Our internal chemistry, our hormones, governs how we feel, look, live, and think.

Achieve Your Ideal Weight in 2025: The Most Important Tool
|
THE THIRD STEPDream Reality: Part ThreeIn part one, we introduced the importance of setting clear goals—your “Haves”—and then complimented our Haves with the second component, who you need to Be to achieve your Haves. The next step is to connect your Be (your identity) to your Have (your results) with what you need to Do (your actions). The example we came up with for the Me strand:
The example we came up with for the Them strand:
Remember, we have dedicated one quarter of this year to each of the four strands of life. We are to dedicate one-quarter of the year to concentrating on one strand because science tells us we are more likely to find success that way. Now, let’s look at what you must Do to make your Dream a Reality for the Me Strand. DOIt's time to build a bridge between our example, Be and Have "Be" I am a Mesomorph, and your "Have," who weighs 135 pounds. THE HOPE BRIDGEI call the bridge that connects your Have with your Be The HOPE Bridge. The components of The HOPE Bridge are:
THE FOUNDATIONThe Foundation of The HOPE Bridge is REAL GOD-MADE FOOD. If you want to switch from your current to a healthier menu, the first step is to eat food as our grandparents ate. Food that wasn't adulterated with homemade chemicals. What that means is to avoid processed foods. Processed foods have been altered from their natural state in some way, generally by adding artificial flavors, preservatives, and other additives. They also contain refined grains, added sugar, excess sodium, synthetic additives, and other ingredients that can diminish their nutritional quality. Real God-made Food contains one or very few ingredients, which are usually things you recognize (e.g., “beef,” “broccoli,” etc.). Processed Human-made Food: Usually has a long ingredient list, including added sugars, flavor enhancers, colorings, and chemical preservatives. Real God-made Food has natural fibers intact that keep you satisfied for longer. Processed Human-made Food removes most of the fiber. Authentic God-made Foods are centered around whole, nutrient-dense foods linked with reduced risks of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Processed Human Food contributes to weight gain, inflammatory responses, and other health issues. Stay tuned for Dream Reality: Part Four, where we will build The vehicle you will drive from your Be to your Have. “If someone came to me and asked what the best menu to eat is to increase their health and life span, my answer would be simple: EAT REAL GOD-MADE FOOD. Attaining health is that easy. Look at all of the modern diseases. Nearly all came about with the invention of Ultra-processed foods.” BE COACHED FOR FREE!I only accept new clients through referrals from current and past clients, and my roster is nearly always full.

Hi! I'm Doc Mac.
I have practiced hormone, weight, health, and mind optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 9 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated seven medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. As we enter our pauses (menopause and andropause), our hormones become disrupted, causing us to gain weight, suffer from the inability to lose the extra weight, sleeping disorders, hormonally induced anxiety and depression, loss of interest in being intimate, and lose our motivation to be social. Our internal chemistry, our hormones, governs how we feel, look, live, and think.

THE SECOND STEP DREAM REALITY: Part TWO Most people make the mistake of setting only their goals, the Haves. I call goals Haves because two other components must be added to achieve them. As I mentioned in the last newsletter, every desire has three parts. Be – Who we are (our identity) Do – What we do (our actions and productivity) Have – What we possess or experience (our results) When we set our goals for any given time, we begin at the end, the Have. We must know what we desire to Have...
THE FIRST STEP DREAM REALITY: Part One “Doc, it’s a new year; not to sound cliché, but I want a ‘new me.’ Where do I begin?” When aiming to transform our physical and mental well-being, we often look at three key states of life: Be – Who we are (our identity) Do – What we do (our actions and productivity) Have – What we possess or experience (our results and goals) Surprisingly, when seeking real change, it often helps to begin by clarifying what we want to Have. Once we understand that, we...
