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.

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.

WEIGHT OPTIMIZATION Meso-Meal "The key to weight loss during your "Third Act" of life is keeping insulin levels low and glucagon levels high." --Doc Mac Our goals are to BE mesomorphs. Mesomorphs have a body that is "just right." That's why I call the menu we use The Meso Menu. In today's Meso Menu recipe, we make the ultimate Nutritious Burger. Remember, the serving size of a meso-protein is one palm-sized serving. And remember, eat only if you are hungry. Doc Mac's Meso Burger The HOPE...
The Pause Issue #11 of 2025 Sponsored by the "Third Act " Optimizers Peace, Love, and Flower Power HORMONE OPTIMIZATION "We are nothing more than a reflection of our hormones." Let's work daily to live our best in our "Third Act." It will take work, but the benefits will be bountiful. In today's blog, I share what most clients believe is The Menopause Elixir. It is common sense. If Estrogen Dominance is the cause of the plethora of menopausal symptoms from weight gain to sleeping disorders,...
RONDA'S STORY THIS IS WHY For 45 years, I have practiced Health Optimization. For the last 15 years, I have exclusively helped women and men in their "Third Act" of life optimize their hormones, weight, health, and minds. When I retired ten years ago, I planned on playing golf, but golf is a great way to ruin a great walk. I rarely got a par on any hole; it's more like a double bogey. But when I receive pre and post-photos of my client's success, these are my hole-in ones. I'd like you to...
