THE PAUSE "MAKING OUR THIRD ACTS THE BEST YET" THE GUT-BRAIN CONNECTION ​ Some of you may have seen advertisements in your Facebook feeds about the Vagus Nerve and went, Huh? The Vagus Nerve is one of the 12 Cranial Nerves. The cranial nerves pass information between the eyes, mouth, nose, ears, and throat to your brain. The Vagus Nerve is like the black sheep of the family--you know, the one who went rogue. It's the Cranial Nerve that went long, and instead of being in charge of your sight, hearing, or smell, it went after the entire thorax.

I have practiced hormone and weight optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 10 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated several medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. We discovered that as a woman enters menopause, her hormones become disrupted, causing many women to gain weight rapidly, and no matter what they do, not be able to lose it. If that has happened to you, text me at 209-345-9799. I have found that those who text me are serious about creating the body they desire. Once I receive your text, I will find a convenient time for you to speak with me. During our conversation, I will customize a gourmet weight loss menu for you, and tweak it until it works. Our menus have no caloric restrictions or frequency of meals. There is no charge! 👍 Doc

STRAND ONE HORMONE OPTIMIZATION Estrogen’s Role in Vitality & Mood Reader, Let’s talk about a hormone that deserves a standing ovation: estrogen. I know! I know! I sometimes make estrogen sound like a bad girl, but it's not estrogen that's so bad; it's the imbalance between estrogen and progesterone that causes all the problems. When they are balanced, you feel like yourself — energized, clear-headed, emotionally steady, and maybe even ready to dance in the kitchen. But when estrogen takes a...
