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 Second Rule to Weigh Less "And if you follow it, you'll age less" 1 THING YOU SHOULD KNOW The clock doesn't know whether you're hungry. It's noon—so you eat lunch. Everyone else is having dinner—so you eat dinner. Someone brings doughnuts into the office—apparently it's doughnut time. But none of those things answer the question your body actually cares about: Am I hungry? We've become very good at eating for reasons that have almost nothing to do with physical hunger. Habit. Boredom....

MY KNEES HAD AN OPINION ABOUT MY WEIGHT There was a time when I weighed 244 pounds. And my knees reminded me whenever. I stood after sitting.I walked up stairs.I tried to pull weeds. Now, in my seventh decade, I weigh the same as I did in high school. I can work in my yard.Vicky and I can travel with ease.And I can strength train several times a week. And I've become much more interested in what my body will allow me to do in my 80s than what it looks like in my 70s. Oh, and by the way, I am...

INSULIN 1 THING YOU SHOULD KNOW When you eat carbohydrates, your digestive system breaks them down into glucose. Glucose enters your bloodstream. Your pancreas responds by releasing insulin. Insulin opens the doors to your cells, allowing glucose to enter your cells and exit your bloodstream. That's a good thing. High blood glucose is toxic to your body. One of the most dangerous health conditions I see today is insulin resistance. That's when your body doesn't respond to insulin as...
