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! đź‘Ť Doc
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.

“Doc, you write a lot about the importance of balancing estradiol and progesterone to tame the symptoms of menopause, but you rarely write about testosterone. How important is testosterone for us as menopausal women?” VERY!

"Doc, once I turned 50 years old, my anxiety levels skyrocketed. Especially in the morning. What caused this?" As you age, your estrogen levels are not the only hormone to wane. Your progesterone levels drop to nearly zero once ovulation ceases.

It’s the hormone that whispers, Relax, I’ve got this.” Progesterone: Your Anti-Anxiety Hormone Progesterone...
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...
