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

Estrogen’s Role in Vitality & Mood

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!

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...

DOC MAC'S GUT PROTOCOL MODULE EIGHT Part Three of The Mediterranean Diet A Coruña Spain This photo shows what the waiter brought us when we asked for a typical Spanish lunch: incredible pizza with toppings untypical of an American Pizza, a small bowl of anchovies, which I was the only one at the table who would eat the sardines, and beer for the guys, sangria for the ladies.

DOC MAC'S GUT PROTOCOL MODULE EIGHT Part Two THE MEDITERRANEAN MENOPAUSE 🛳️ I'm in France–But You're Still My Priority “Doc, wow! Comparing the Mediterranean Diet to the Standard American Diet really opened my eyes—no wonder you’re always preaching about GodMade food. Since joining your program, I’ve been mainly eating real, whole foods, and now I get why it matters so much. But here’s my question: Is there a difference in how American women and Mediterranean women experience...

DOC MAC'S GUT PROTOCOL MODULE EIGHT Part One THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET The Mediterranean Diet wears the crown in the nutrition world—and not just because it sounds like a vacation in Santorini or because it salutes olives and red wine. The Mediterranean Diet sits on its throne because it is the most extensively researched and approved diet on the planet. I place it near the end of HOPE's Gut Protocol because it encompasses everything needed to complete the protocol. Inspired by the traditional...
