Third Act Health Hack: Milk Thistle


HEALTH OPTIMIZATION

THE LIVER OPTIMIZATION PROTOCOL

Sponsored by the "Third Act " Optimizers

​MILK THISTLE

The Third Strand of the HOPE Protocol is called the Purification Protocol. It has three phases. The first phase concerns optimizing the liver.

If you’re not as healthy as you could be during your "Third Act" of life, the first step to optimizing your health is optimizing your liver.

After four decades of health optimization and the last decade and a half concentrating on optimizing our "Third Act of Life," I am primarily concerned with Fatty Liver Disease.

It seems like nearly everyone in their third act of life or if they are overweight have fatty liver disease. Fatty liver (NAFLD) can cause hormone disruption, weight gain, decreased vitality, and even adversely affect your mind.

A combination of lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, and weight loss) is the best approach to optimizing your liver and, therefore, your health.

Milk Thistle is the next supplement we teach about to help optimize the liver. It ranks just below Berberine as a must-have liver detoxifier.

Hi! I'm Doc Mac.

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

The Summit Lessons from a life well-climbed Hello, I’m Doc Mac — an optimizer of life, and a traveler who’s learned that the mountain never truly ends. At seventy, I still climb, not to conquer, but to see more clearly. I’ve discovered that youth isn’t something you lose; it’s something you stop practicing. So if you’re fifty and searching for what’s next, come sit for a bit. The view’s different up here — and I’ve got stories to tell. I’ve spent the past forty-five years helping people...
