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.
