AI is accelerating.

Industries are shifting.

The rules of work are being rewritten.

But Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus offered a powerful insight centuries ago: the pressure we feel often comes from our assumptions, not from reality itself.

In this video we explore how Stoic philosophy applies directly to the modern AI era and why professionals who learn to adapt, build leverage, and “skate where the puck is going” will have an enormous advantage.

If you want to redesign your workflow, upgrade your professional operating system, and thrive in the future of work, this conversation is for you.

We sold the house.

Sold the property.

Sold the toys.

Simplified everything.

And rebuilt from clarity instead of ambition.

This is my “dead for a day” story.

If you’ve ever:

– Felt invincible

– Avoided a hard truth

– Optimized the wrong variables

– Or sensed there’s more to life than status and income

This one is for you.

There may be a letter in your life you haven’t opened yet.

Most people ghost their old identities, quietly drifting away while still psychologically reporting for duty. That cracked door? It's draining every ounce of momentum from what's next.

After 20+ years in emergency medicine and aviation, I learned this the hard way: growth requires an actual death. Not of the person, but of the role.

The Day Stoicism Was Forced on Me in a Hospital Bed

I nearly bled out after a routine cardiac procedure.

No warning. No choice. No control.

Stoic philosophy doesn’t teach calm when life is easy.

It teaches composure when everything goes wrong at once.

This story isn’t about medicine.

It’s about what actually belongs to you when control disappears.

Judge. Jury. Executioner.

Every interaction becomes a trial.

Every delay becomes disrespect.

Every stranger becomes a problem to solve or a threat to manage.

We call this “being perceptive.”

In reality, it’s an untrained mind running on reflex.

Judgment feels efficient.

Labeling feels intelligent.

But both quietly drain energy, clarity, and emotional control.

Here’s the discipline most men never practice:

Assume the best in others and reserve judgment.

Not because people are perfect.

But because your nervous system is not a dumping ground.

Turning off the automatic mind is not weakness.

It’s command.

We've all been there. Standing at the edge of change, declaring war on our old habits like they're enemies to be conquered. "I'm going to stop procrastinating." "I'm going to quit scrolling." "I'm done with negative self-talk."

And then, inevitably, we find ourselves right back where we started—frustrated, defeated, and convinced we lack willpower.

But here's what twenty years of emergency medicine has taught me: nature abhors a vacuum. In the ER, we don't just remove what's broken; we replace it with what works. Pull out a breathing tube without a plan? The airway collapses. Remove a chest tube too soon? The lung can't expand properly.

Your brain operates the same way.

In this video I break down why closing loops is one of the most important habits for productivity, consistency, and long term success. The psychology is simple. Open loops create cognitive load. Cognitive load crushes execution. When you close loops, your brain stops running background processes and gives you back clarity and control.

You will learn:

• What an open loop is and why it silently destroys performance

 • How unfinished tasks hijack working memory and increase stress

 • The neuroscience behind mental load and decision fatigue

 • A practical system for identifying and closing loops daily

 • The reason high performers hit burnout and how this method prevents it

Closing loops is not a motivational concept. It is a strategic discipline. When you reduce internal friction, your productivity compounds and your energy returns.

This is the story of a night that changed the way I understand human potential. I was working a flight shift in northern Michigan when we were called to a rural hospital during a brutal winter storm. The patient was a man in his fifties. Hypothermic. Unstable. Fading fast. Everything about the situation said he would not survive the flight.

But then something happened. A moment that stayed with me long after the alarms stopped and the turbulence ended. In the middle of the chaos, this man showed a kind of strength that does not come from fitness or toughness. It came from a deeper place. A place the Finns call Sisu.

Sisu is the instinct that wakes up when your back is against the wall. It is the force that says get up one more time. It is what allows ordinary people to survive impossible moments.

In this video I share the story of that night and the lesson he taught me about endurance, identity, and transformation. If you feel stuck or behind or worn down by life, this is a story you need to hear.

To survive, I had to accept the uncontrollable.

Stress doesn’t destroy you. Mismanaged stress does. Controlled adversity rewires your nervous system for performance.

Every time you face challenge and respond well, you raise your baseline of resilience.

Stop seeing obstacles as interruptions. Start seeing them as initiations.

This week, every time something hard hits, say the mantra: Obstacles Make Me Stronger. Watch how your response changes.

That is not self-help. That is self-training.

The 3 Words That Kill Fear

Most people collapse when fear shows up. High performers use it.

Next time fear hits, say three words that rewire your brain: Bring it on.

Before big calls or critical ER cases, my heart and mind would surge. Fear, excitement, anticipation. It is all energy waiting to be directed.

A mentor of mine calls this flipping the switch. When you say Bring it on, your brain releases dopamine instead of cortisol. Pressure becomes performance.

Fear isn’t the enemy. Avoidance is.

Find one hard thing today. Before you begin, say it out loud. Bring it on. Then act. You will feel the power shift instantly.

 The fear that the job keeps demanding more and paying less.

 The fear that one day someone in an office far away will decide you are no longer needed.

 The fear that everything you have worked for could collapse under you.

If you have ever felt that, hear this clearly.

 You are not broken.

 You are not weak.

 You are not behind.

 You are waking up.

 You are beginning to see that you have been relying on only one lever of control. The job lever.

 And that lever is not as solid as it used to be.

To quiet that fear, you need a mental framework with three levers, not one.

 The Job Lever

 The Skill Lever

 The Freedom Lever

 When you understand all three, you stop feeling trapped and start feeling powerful again.

The Trap of Fuzzy Goals

We’ve all been there. January rolls around, and we declare: “This year, I’m going to get in shape.” For a week or two, we go to the gym, skip dessert, maybe even buy some overpriced supplements. Then, life creeps in. Work gets busy, a vacation derails the routine, and suddenly we’re back where we started.

Why?

Because most resolutions are not decisions. They’re fuzzy lines—vague intentions like “eat fewer carbs” or “spend less time on my phone.” They sound reasonable, but fail in execution because they’re negotiable.

A fuzzy line means your brain is forced into constant debate. “Does this bread count as ‘fewer carbs’? What about the fries if I skip dessert?” That negotiation is exhausting. And when you’re tired, stressed, or distracted, the negotiation almost always ends with compromise.

The solution: Bright Lines.

As an emergency medicine physician, the pace and constant up/down activity and task switching make my ADHD tendencies seem completely normal—at least when I'm toting a stethoscope and running from chest pain to trauma to overdose to worried well cases in the ER. Code blue at 3 AM? My brain snaps to laser focus. Multiple critical patients streaming through the doors? I thrive in that controlled chaos.

But when I hung up my white coat and stepped into the boardroom—or worse, sat down at my home office to work on entrepreneurial ventures—that same energy became my enemy. The mental agility that saved lives in the ER was now destroying my ability to build sustainable businesses and maintain focus on long-term strategic thinking.

I'd catch myself jumping from market research to competitor analysis to social media "research" (read: doom scrolling) to checking email to starting three different projects—all within the span of an hour. The hypervigilance that kept me alive in trauma situations had become a terrorist in my executive life, hijacking my attention and sabotaging my success.

The truth hit me during a costly lesson: while I was busy chasing the latest marketing strategy, my main competitor quietly secured the partnership I'd been "planning to pursue." My distraction cost me a huge opportunity.

Here's what I learned: your mind can be your greatest asset or your most dangerous enemy. The same neural pathways that make you excellent under pressure can become weapons of mass distraction when applied to long-term strategic thinking. The rumination that helps you consider every angle in life-or-death decisions becomes paralyzing overthinking in business decisions.

After studying neuroscience, partnering with a coach, implementing dozens of focus protocols, and yes—losing significant money and opportunities to my own mental terrorism—I've discovered a battle-tested system to tame the terrorist inside your head. This field-tested protocol helps transform their scattered energy into laser-focused execution.

Hack Your Hunger with Solid Protein: Why Chewing Your Steak Beats Gulping a Shake (An Andrew Huberman-Inspired Deep Dive)

Let's talk protein and satiety – the feeling of fullness that keeps you from raiding the fridge every hour. We all know protein is a champion for building muscle and burning fat, but did you know the way you consume it can significantly impact your hunger levels? Buckle up, because we're about to explore the science behind why solid protein reigns supreme for keeping your appetite in check.

Physiological Factors: The Gut-Brain Connection

First, we gotta talk about the intricate dance between your digestive system and your brain. Solid protein foods take center stage here.

1. Chewing & Eating Time: Chewing that juicy steak isn't just about breaking down food. It's a sensory experience that sends signals to your hypothalamus (the brain's control center) saying, "Hey, I'm eating!" This extended "chew time" allows your body to register the intake and adjust hunger hormones accordingly. A protein shake, on the other hand, is gone in seconds, leaving your hypothalamus confused and your stomach potentially rumbling for more.
2. Gastric Emptying: Solid food takes its sweet time traveling through your digestive system compared to liquids. This prolonged presence in your stomach triggers the release of a special messenger called cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK acts like a fullness alarm to your brain, letting you know it's time to chill on the snacks.
3. Hormonal Response: The act of chewing and having solid food in your gut also stimulates the release of peptide YY (PYY), another satiety hormone. This hormonal symphony orchestrated by solid protein keeps you feeling satisfied for longer.

Psychological Factors: Beyond the Physical

It's not just your gut that's involved. Protein-rich whole foods offer some psychological advantages too.

1. Visual Cues: Ever feel full just by looking at a delicious plate of food? That's not your imagination. Visual cues about portion size play a role in satiety. A protein shake, on the other hand, doesn't offer the same visual feedback.
2. Cognitive Satisfaction: The act of sitting down and enjoying a meal can be more psychologically satisfying than quickly downing a shake. This can impact your perceived sense of fullness and influence how long you stay satiated.

The Power of Fiber and Volume

Let's not forget the supporting cast. Many protein-rich whole foods (think meat, fish, legumes) come packed with fiber. Fiber adds bulk and volume to your meals, further enhancing satiety. This combination punches a one-two combo on your hunger, keeping you fuller for longer.

The Bottom Line: Prioritize Whole Foods

Protein shakes can be a convenient way to boost your protein intake, but relying solely on them might not be the best strategy for long-term satiety. For optimal hunger management, focus on incorporating a variety of solid protein sources into your meals. Remember, your body thrives on diversity, and your gut-brain connection will thank you for prioritizing whole foods.

However, as with everything in science, individual responses can vary. Some people might find liquid protein sources do the trick. But for most, a diet rich in whole-food protein sources will be a more effective hunger-hacking strategy.

So, the next time you're looking to conquer your cravings, ditch the shake and grab a solid protein-packed meal. Your brain, your gut, and your waistline will thank you for it.

## Resistance Training

Incorporating resistance or strength training exercises is one of the most effective ways to preserve and build muscle mass during weight loss[1][2]. This counteracts the catabolic effects of caloric deficit by stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

## Adequate Protein Intake

Ensuring sufficient dietary protein intake, ideally 1.6-2.2 g/kg of ideal body weight per day, can help minimize muscle loss[2]. Protein provides amino acids needed for muscle maintenance and repair.

## Combining with Myostatin Inhibitors

Myostatin is a key negative regulator of muscle growth. Blocking myostatin with investigational drugs like apitegromab (SRK-439) from Scholar Rock may enhance muscle growth and prevent muscle loss when combined with GLP-1 agonists[1]. Early clinical trials are underway to test this approach.

## Using Activin Receptor Inhibitors 

Activin receptor inhibitors like those being developed by companies like Regeneron can block activin signaling and potentially increase muscle mass when used alongside GLP-1 medications[3].

## mTOR Activators

The mTOR pathway regulates muscle protein synthesis. Drugs that activate mTOR, such as the PPAR agonist enobosarm being tested by Veru, may preserve muscle when combined with GLP-1 treatment[5].

## Adequate Vitamin D and Calcium

Ensuring sufficient vitamin D and calcium intake is important for preserving bone mineral density, which can be impacted by the weight loss and muscle loss induced by GLP-1 agonists[2].

The key is utilizing a multi-modal approach combining GLP-1 agonists with resistance exercise, optimal nutrition, and emerging muscle-preserving medications to maximize fat loss while minimizing the loss of metabolically active lean muscle mass[1][2][3].

Let's talk about hustle culture gone mad.

You, the entrepreneur, the maverick, the one who built a damn empire from scratch. You can wrangle investors, write code that would make Einstein weep, and probably even fix your leaky faucet. But here's the thing, mate: just because you can doesn't mean you should spend your precious time wrangling screwdrivers and braving the fluorescent purgatory of Home Depot for a measly wall sconce.

In the STEP 1 and SUSTAIN 8 trials for semaglutide, about 39-40% of the total weight lost was due to a decrease in lean mass, primarily muscle. A 2021 meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials also found significant reductions in fat-free mass (lean body mass) with the use of GLP-1 agonists.

The loss of muscle mass is concerning for several reasons:

1. **Metabolic Health**: Muscle is crucial for metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and glucose uptake. Significant muscle loss can negatively impact metabolic health and increase the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

2. **Physical Function**: Maintaining adequate muscle mass is essential for physical function, mobility, and independence, especially in older adults who are already at risk for age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia).

3. **Quality of Life**: Excessive muscle loss can lead to weakness, fatigue, and a decreased ability to perform daily activities, potentially impacting quality of life.

4. **Bone Health**: Muscle mass is closely linked to bone health and strength. Significant muscle loss can increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

While some degree of lean mass loss is expected during weight loss, the extent of muscle loss observed with GLP-1 agonists is concerning, particularly for individuals with low muscle mass or those at risk for sarcopenia.

To address this issue, researchers and pharmaceutical companies are exploring strategies to preserve muscle mass while using GLP-1 agonists for weight loss, such as combining them with muscle-preserving agents or targeting specific pathways like myostatin inhibition. Additionally, incorporating resistance training and ensuring adequate protein intake are recommended to help mitigate muscle loss during GLP-1 agonist treatment.

Understanding Prostate Conditions

Men’s prostate glands change as they age, and older men are more likely to face prostate-related health issues. The main problems include prostatitis (inflammation), BPH (enlarged prostate), and prostate cancer. Diagnosing these issues can be tough because they often show similar symptoms, like frequent urination or pain during urination. Additionally, early-stage prostate cancer usually doesn’t show any symptoms, making detection harder.

 Prostatitis Explained

Prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate, comes in various forms, such as acute bacterial, chronic bacterial, and chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. The nonbacterial type is most common, affecting many men with prostatitis symptoms.

Prostatitis can greatly affect a man's life, causing pain, sexual issues, and anxiety. Men often worry about having cancer or an infection, leading them to visit the doctor more frequently. 

Prostatitis can be caused by infections, certain diseases, or other unknown factors. It might be linked to other health issues like neurological diseases and previous infections. 

Diagnosing Prostatitis

For diagnosis, doctors might perform tests like urinalysis or exams to check for signs of infection or inflammation. Depending on the type of prostatitis, treatments vary from antibiotics to other medications aiming at relieving symptoms and fighting infection.

Treatment Options

Treating prostatitis depends on its cause and type. Antibiotics are commonly used, and the treatment duration might range from a few weeks to more than a month. Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is trickier to manage, often requiring a combination of medications, like anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants, to ease the symptoms.

Different treatments may work for different people, and finding the right one can be a process of trial and error. Some practices, like certain relaxation exercises, might also help alleviate the symptoms.

Prostate conditions can significantly affect men’s lives, mainly due to the discomfort and uncertainty they bring. Understanding these conditions and their management options is essential for those affected, helping them make informed decisions and cope better with the challenges. Remember, a healthcare professional’s advice is crucial in diagnosing and treating these conditions effectively.

As men age, their sex hormones, particularly testosterone, naturally decrease. This condition, often referred to as late-onset hypogonadism (LOH), can affect men differently than women experiencing menopause. It usually starts around the age of 30, reducing testosterone levels by 1% to 2% annually.

 Recognizing the Differences in Hypogonadism

Not all hypogonadism is the same. Young men can experience it due to issues like Klinefelter syndrome, resulting in testicular failure. However, in older men, it is primarily due to aging, and the testosterone levels don’t drop as dramatically.

 Key Questions

Several uncertainties surround LOH. For example, it's still unclear whether the symptoms are primarily due to aging or a direct result of lower testosterone levels. There's also debate around the benefits and risks of testosterone therapy in managing LOH.

 How Common is LOH?

The occurrence of LOH varies, with about 6% to 39% of men aged 30 and above being affected. The chances of experiencing LOH symptoms increase with age and are consistent across different racial and ethnic groups.

 Diagnosing LOH

Diagnosing LOH isn't straightforward. Doctors look for signs like decreased sexual desire, energy, and other related symptoms, along with measuring testosterone levels. The diagnosis might involve questionnaires that ask about symptoms related to aging and testosterone deficiency.

 Treatment Options

When it comes to treatment, testosterone therapy is common, but it comes with both benefits and risks. It can improve aspects like mood, sexual desire, and body composition, but may also pose risks such as heart issues and prostate complications. Treatment should be personalized, considering the individual’s symptoms and medical history.

 What to Expect in Treatment

Various forms of testosterone replacement therapies, like oral medications and skin patches, are available. Close monitoring is essential during treatment to observe the effectiveness and any potential side effects. Regular check-ups will involve evaluating testosterone levels and other essential health aspects like the prostate health.

LOH is a condition influenced by aging in men, affecting their hormone levels and overall well-being. Recognizing the symptoms, seeking professional diagnosis, and pursuing personalized treatment are crucial steps in managing this condition effectively.

Male Breast Cancer: Unveiling the Silent Truth

Did you know that men can also get breast cancer? Yes, it's rare but real. In the shadows, where discussions rarely venture, there lives a condition known as male breast cancer. This year, about 2,710 men in the United States will embark on a battle against this disease, a number that's been quietly growing by 26% since the 1980s. 

Here's what we know: the cancer journey starts subtly. A lump or swelling beneath the nipple is its cryptic message, but there might also be other signs like pain or even nipple discharge. However, the paths to discovering and treating male breast cancer are somewhat paved by the learnings from women's experiences with the disease.

But the silence and lack of awareness surrounding male breast cancer are the unseen barriers. Often, it quietly grows, unnoticed, until it reaches a stage that's hard to ignore. And because it's so rare, the research isn't as robust, leaving us with pages yet to be filled in this chapter of medical science.

Men come with their own set of unique risk factors such as genetics and specific life experiences or medical histories like undescended testes or exposure to chest radiation. Knowing these can be the light that guides through the fog of uncertainty, helping with early detection and understanding of the condition.

In terms of treatment, it's like reading from a similar book as female breast cancer. Surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy are some of the familiar characters in the story, each playing a role to curb the spread and helping in the healing process. Survival, though variable, carries stories of hope and triumph, underlined by the spirit of resilience.

So, let's broaden the horizons of our understanding, break the silence, and bring to light the unspoken tales of male breast cancer. Because in the heart of awareness, there blooms a flower of hope and early detection, making the journey a little less daunting and filled with supportive footprints. 🌼

 But when transitioning from Finasteride to Minoxidil or vice versa, it certainly is possible to experience some degree of shedding. 

 This is because they work differently through different mechanisms. 

 Finasteride primarily inhibits the hormone responsible for hair loss, miniaturization, thinness, brittleness, and all the negative things that go along with male pattern hair loss and also in females as well, to some degree, and that is DHT. 

 Minoxidil works through a different mechanism relative to Finasteride. 

 Although there is some overlap and evidence in smaller studies about the hormonal impacts of Minoxidil, it is not a potent DHT blocker.

 Minoxidil, which is an old blood pressure medication, works by stimulating hair growth. The theory is that it increases blood flow through the follicle, which increases nutrient delivery to the follicles themselves and can enhance hair growth. The mechanism is more complex, but I'll save that for another video.

 Obviously, hair loss is very individual, depending on genetics. Lifestyle, hormones, stress, illness, a variety of other things. 

 Stopping Finasteride can lead to a temporary increase in hair shedding as the body adjusts to the absence of the DHT-blocking effects at the levels of hair follicles. 

 Next is the time it takes to regrow hair, which is really variable and depends on genetic factors, as I alluded to before, and a variety of other things, including environment, health, and lifestyle. 

 One of the things that people fail to understand or recognize is that there are a variety of environmental toxins that can impact not only general health but also hair loss and hair regrowth. 

 It takes a few months for hair to go through its normal life cycles, and therefore, it will take a few months in general for most to see any particular change, whether or not they're using Minoxidil, Finasteride, topical, or a combination of any of the previous. 

 During this transition period, the hair that's lost from stopping Finasteride might not be immediately replaced by new growth from that triggered by Minoxidil. 

 It's important to have some realistic expectations to understand that this process is gradual. It's going to take time. I get many concerned messages that "my hair is not all back after two weeks." Being patient and understanding time are critical factors.

Oral Minoxidil obviously is more systemic and, based on absorption and the mechanism of action, should work on viable follicles wherever they are, which is in part by the explanation of side effects by patients who are taking Minoxidil may note hair growth in other places that maybe they don't prefer like the back, sides of the face, the temples, areas like that. 

So, it's crucial to understand that the changes and the process of hair loss are individual and depend on many factors. This video is just a mechanism and a method to share information and education. 

So take care. Be well. Subscribe for more content like this.

Men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms, meaning those significantly bothered by their symptoms, should discuss the benefits, risks, and costs of various treatments with their doctors. Here are some common treatment options:

Watchful Waiting:

For men with mild symptoms or those not too bothered by their symptoms, doctors may suggest waiting and monitoring the condition. Annual check-ups and lifestyle changes, like adjustments in diet and exercise, can be helpful during this period.

Medication:

Various medications can manage BPH symptoms:

Alpha-Blockers:

These medicines, such as Alfuzosin and Tamsulosin, are commonly used and can help by relaxing the muscles in the prostate. They can cause side effects like dizziness and ejaculation problems.

 5-alpha Reductase Inhibitors:

Drugs like Finasteride and Dutasteride can reduce the size of the prostate. However, they may cause sexual side effects, such as lowered sexual desire or erectile problems.

  Combination Therapy:

 Combining an alpha-blocker with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor may be more effective in some cases.

Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors:

Medicines like Tadalafil can be used to treat BPH symptoms and may also enhance sexual function.

Minimally Invasive Procedures:

There are non-surgical procedures, like transurethral needle ablation and microwave thermotherapy, that can improve symptoms. They may not be as effective as surgery but are less invasive.

Surgery:

Surgical procedures are recommended for more severe cases. Different surgical options are available based on the patient’s needs and the doctor’s recommendations.

Making a Decision:

Doctors will consider the severity of symptoms, the size of the prostate, and the patient’s overall health when suggesting a treatment option. It’s crucial to discuss and understand the potential benefits and risks of each choice to make a decision that’s best suited to the individual’s needs and lifestyle.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a common condition that affects many men as they get older. It's not cancer, but it causes the prostate gland to grow larger than usual. This can lead to problems with urination, like needing to go more often, especially at night.

What is BPH?

BPH is when the prostate becomes larger because of an increase in the number and size of the cells in a particular area of the prostate. This condition is common in men over 40 and becomes more likely as men continue to age. While it's usually not serious or life-threatening, it can affect a man's quality of life by interrupting daily activities and sleep due to urinary problems.

Who Gets BPH?

The chances of getting BPH go up as men age. For example, it's quite rare in men under 40 but very common in men over 80. Some other things that might increase the risk of BPH include obesity, high blood pressure, and smoking. Studies have also shown that Black and Hispanic men might be more likely to have BPH compared to White men.

How is BPH Diagnosed?

Doctors diagnose BPH by asking questions about your medical history and symptoms and doing physical exams and tests. One important test measures PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels in the blood, as higher PSA levels might suggest BPH or prostate cancer.

Doctors also usually do a physical exam that includes checking the prostate. They might ask you to keep track of when and how much you urinate to better understand your symptoms. These evaluations help doctors decide how severe the condition is and what kind of treatment is best.

Symptoms and Evaluations

Some common symptoms of BPH include trouble starting to urinate, a weak urine stream, and feeling the need to urinate often, including at night. Doctors use questionnaires, like the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), to assess how much these symptoms are affecting you.

What Tests Might You Have?

Medical History and Physical Exam

A doctor will ask about your health and any surgeries or illnesses. They will also do a physical exam to check the prostate and look for other possible causes of symptoms.

Blood Tests

The PSA blood test can help diagnose BPH. 

Urinalysis

A urine test can help rule out infections or other conditions.

Prostate Exam

A doctor will physically examine the prostate to check its size and shape.

BPH is a common condition in older men, and understanding its symptoms and diagnosis processes is crucial for effective management and treatment. If having urinary problems, don't hesitate to discuss them with a doctor, as early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the condition better and improve the quality of life.

Hematospermia is a medical term used to describe the presence of blood in a man's ejaculated semen. This might seem concerning at first, as the semen may appear with bright red streaks of blood, clots, or remnants of old blood, but it’s essential to understand that this condition is almost always non-threatening and benign.

Is There A Connection with Other Conditions?

Hematospermia doesn’t usually exist on its own and is often found alongside other conditions affecting the lower urinary tract (the system involved in urine creation and excretion). 

Evaluation and Consideration Factors

When a person is found to have hematospermia, healthcare professionals follow a standard set of protocols to assess the condition thoroughly. Several factors are considered during the evaluation:

Symptoms: 

Any accompanying symptoms that the individual might be experiencing are essential in guiding the evaluation process. 

Age and Risk Factors: 

The person’s age, along with other risk factors such as a history of tobacco use, are crucial considerations in understanding the potential causes of hematospermia. 

Presence of Hematuria: 

Hematuria, or blood in the urine, is another important aspect. Finding blood in both the semen and urine can help in diagnosing the underlying condition.

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS): 

Symptoms affecting the lower urinary tract, such as difficulties in urination, also play a significant role in the evaluation process.

In essence, while the presence of blood in semen can be alarming, it’s usually not a serious condition. A careful and thoughtful evaluation, considering various symptoms and risk factors, aids healthcare professionals in diagnosing and providing necessary guidance and treatment. The bottom line is that an evaluation is required.

**Finasteride and Its Effect on PSA Levels: A Simple Explanation**

Let's dive into understanding a medicine called finasteride. It's like a superhero in the medical world, fighting against problems like an enlarged prostate (known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH) and hair loss in men. What finasteride does best is blocking a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for making the prostate bigger.

When doctors want to check for prostate cancer, they look at something called PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels. But here’s the catch - finasteride can change PSA levels, making them lower. Let's break down how it does this:

### **Making the Prostate Smaller:**

- **Tackling DHT:** Finasteride helps reduce DHT in the body. Less DHT means a smaller prostate, and a smaller prostate leads to lower PSA levels.

- **Connecting with PSA:** Using finasteride means that PSA levels could drop by about half within six months to a year.

### **Handling PSA Readings:**

- **Fine-tuning the Results:** Doctors, knowing what finasteride does, adjust the PSA readings a bit. They might double the value to get a clearer picture while keeping in mind the effect of finasteride.

- **Keeping the Screening Right:** These changes make sure that the PSA levels are accurate and helpful when checking for prostate cancer.

### **Understanding Cancer Detection Better:**

- **Maintaining Screening Quality:** Adjusting the PSA readings helps to keep the screening for prostate cancer effective and sensitive.

- **Thinking About Biopsy:** The new PSA levels help doctors decide whether a biopsy (taking a small tissue sample) of the prostate is necessary to look more closely for signs of cancer.

So, in simple words, finasteride is a helpful medication that brings changes in hormones and PSA levels. Understanding these changes and adjustments is key to getting the right picture of a person's prostate health.

📍 📍 Mi perro me enseñó algunas cosas hoy, simplemente recordatorios conmovedores sobre la fragilidad de la vida y un poco de estoicismo, si se quiere.

📍 Estaremos en la ciudad por unos meses y la llevé por detrás, NO por el camino que usualmente tomamos. Pero ella salió de todas formas, hizo sus necesidades y estábamos pasando por la puerta que separa nuestra propiedad del callejón.

Y había, un labrador de apariencia amable sentado allí con su dueño. Esperando tranquilamente a que saliéramos para poder entrar ellos. No era gran cosa.

📍 Mi perro normalmente no es muy amistoso, no suele acercarse a otros perros cara a cara, pero de todas formas, se sintió confiada de que este perro no era una amenaza y se acercó a este perro y se saludaron 📍 y luego el perro intentó arrancarle la cabeza, lo cual fue un recordatorio para mí y para ella, por supuesto, de que somos malos 

📍 prediciendo. Podríamos pensar que tenemos todas las señales y el lenguaje corporal y toda la información que necesitamos para proceder con una elección inteligente, y luego estamos completamente equivocados.

Así que ese es el punto uno. El punto dos es que no todo necesita ser llevado adelante con perpetuidad y eso la asustó. A mí también me asustó un poco. Es vieja, pero no tanto. Pudo reaccionar lo suficientemente rápido y esquivar al otro perro y continuar su camino.

Ella continuó por el callejón, y después de eso parecía estar bien. Estaba totalmente feliz, moviendo su cola, emocionada de estar al sol. Y pasamos por otro perro del que mantuvo su distancia. Pero aparte de eso, estaba feliz y no parecía cargar con el peso de esta situación, lo cual, sabes, la tendencia humana a menudo es llevar consigo eventos adversos.

📍 A los animales, les pasan cosas, y reaccionan adecuadamente. Tienen la descarga de adrenalina, el pico de cortisol. Toman su decisión, escapan para vivir otro día, y luego cinco minutos después, están completamente felices. Están tomando el sol, comiendo hierba, o en el caso de mi perro, moviendo la cola esperando para volver al edificio y recibir su pequeña golosina después de salir.

Así que, solo dos pequeños puntos que pensé que valía la pena recordar, para mí y para ti, y espero que tengas un día fantástico. Cuídate. Está bien

Peyronie Disease - penile curve

Education is helpful and a Urologist is the specialist best equipped to help.

This condition is likely more common than the data given the highly personal nature. Estimates of 0.5 to 3% of men are cited but this is felt by experts to be an undestimation.

Peyronie's disease, also known as penile fibrosis or induratio penis plastica, is a condition characterized by the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis. This condition can result in penile curvature, pain during erections, and difficulty with sexual intercourse.

The exact cause of Peyronie's disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve the formation of plaques or scar tissue in the tunica albuginea, which is the fibrous sheath surrounding the erectile tissues of the penis. These plaques can cause the penis to bend or curve during erection, leading to discomfort and potential difficulties with sexual activity.

Symptoms of Peyronie's disease may include:

Penile curvature or bending: The penis may develop a curve or bend, which can vary in severity and direction. The curvature can make sexual intercourse challenging or painful.

Pain or discomfort: Some individuals may experience pain during erections or even when the penis is flaccid.

Erectile dysfunction: Peyronie's disease can sometimes result in difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection due to the presence of scar tissue.

Penile deformities: In some cases, the scar tissue can lead to other penile deformities, such as narrowing or shortening of the penis.

If you suspect you may have Peyronie's disease or are experiencing any symptoms related to it, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a urologist. They can evaluate your condition, provide a diagnosis, and discuss potential treatment options.

Treatment for Peyronie's disease can vary depending on the severity of symptoms and individual factors

Comencemos con el término 'ignorancia.' La ignorancia significa una falta de conocimiento o información. No se trata solo de no saber, sino también de no querer saber. Es una retirada pasiva del mundo de los hechos, la verdad y el aprendizaje.

La idea de 'la ignorancia es felicidad' sugiere que lo que no sabemos no puede hacernos daño. Pero consideremos esto: no conocer el límite de velocidad no evitará una multa por exceso de velocidad. No saber sobre un problema de salud no hace que desaparezca. De hecho, podría empeorar la situación porque retrasa las acciones proactivas.

Unlock the Truth: Why 10% of the World's Population Will Remain Unhappy, No Matter Your Efforts - Expert Insights to Free Yourself from the People-Pleasing Trap

Are you a natural-born people-pleaser? Do you often find yourself bending over backward to make everyone around you happy, only to be met with dissatisfaction and frustration? If so, you're not alone. However, the hard truth is that no matter how hard we try, some people will never be content or satisfied. According to experts, a staggering 10% of the world's population fall into this category. In this blog post, we'll delve into the reasons behind this phenomenon and offer valuable insights on how to free yourself from the people-pleasing trap.

First and foremost, it's essential to understand that happiness is a complex and multifaceted concept. In their study, researchers Diener and Seligman (2002) found that happiness is influenced by a combination of genetic, circumstantial, and intentional factors. Thus, it's crucial to recognize that your efforts to please others may only have a limited impact on their overall happiness.

Another significant factor contributing to the 10% unhappy population is the phenomenon of hedonic adaptation. According to a study by Lyubomirsky (2011), people have a natural tendency to return to their baseline level of happiness, regardless of positive or negative life events. This means that even if you successfully please someone, they may revert to their initial state of dissatisfaction shortly thereafter.

Furthermore, the concept of the "happiness set point" sheds light on why some individuals seem perpetually unhappy. Research by Lykken and Tellegen (1996) suggests that each person has a genetically determined set point for happiness, around which their mood fluctuates based on life events. This means that even if you do everything in your power to satisfy someone, their happiness may still be limited by their genetic predisposition.

As you can see, the quest to please others can be a futile effort in many cases. So, how can you free yourself from this people-pleasing trap? Here are three expert tips to help you regain control of your life:

1. Set Boundaries: Establishing clear boundaries is essential for maintaining your mental health and well-being. By setting limits on your availability and the amount of energy you're willing to expend on others, you'll prevent yourself from becoming overwhelmed by the needs and expectations of others.
2. Prioritize Self-Care: Make a conscious effort to prioritize your own happiness and well-being. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, and don't be afraid to say "no" when necessary to preserve your energy and mental health.
3. Accept Imperfection: Understand that it's impossible to please everyone, and that's okay. Accepting that some individuals may never be happy, regardless of your efforts, can be a liberating realization. Focus on nurturing healthy relationships with those who appreciate your efforts and bring positivity into your life.

We've all been there - stuck in traffic, dealing with an unfriendly waiter, and we immediately blame the external circumstances for our bad mood. But when it comes to other people's bad moods, we tend to judge them for their character flaws. It's a double standard that we need to be aware of.

So, let's resist the temptation to fall into confirmation bias. It's easy to label and judge, but it's not necessary. The Stoics had a philosophy that things can be experienced, but not labeled or judged. They called it preferred indifference.

This means that we should be careful of the stories we tell ourselves. We don't have to label everything and everyone. We can experience things without judgment and without attaching meaning to them. It's not easy, but it's a practice that can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

So, the next time you're stuck in traffic or dealing with an unfriendly waiter, take a step back and ask yourself: am I labeling this situation? Am I judging this person? And remember, the stories we tell ourselves have a big impact on our lives. So, be careful of the stories you're telling yourself.

On the other hand, you've got the group thinkers. These guys are all about social harmony and conformity. They'd rather blend in than stand out. They tend to go with the flow and follow the dominant opinion, even if they don't necessarily agree with it. Basically, they're like a bunch of lemmings following each other off a cliff.

Now, both autonomous thinking and group thinking have their strengths and weaknesses. But in the end, the best decision-making comes from striking a balance between the two. So be an independent thinker, but don't be afraid to hear other perspectives and collaborate with others to make the best decisions possible.

The Big Leap is a self-help book by Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., in which he explores the concept of the "Upper Limit Problem." The Upper Limit Problem refers to the self-imposed limits people put on their success and happiness and how they sabotage their growth.

The book's main idea is that people often limit themselves from reaching their full potential due to unconscious beliefs and habits. Hendricks argues that individuals can overcome these limits by becoming aware of them and making conscious choices to break free from them. He suggests that this process requires a combination of self-awareness, self-compassion, and taking action to overcome limiting beliefs and behaviors.

Hendricks also suggests that individuals can cultivate a sense of abundance and fulfillment by embracing their true passions and desires and pursuing them with purpose and joy. He argues that by breaking free from limiting beliefs and habits, individuals can achieve greater success, happiness, and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.

In summary, the most significant idea from The Big Leap is that people limit their success and happiness through unconscious beliefs and habits but can overcome these limits by becoming aware of them and taking conscious action to break free from them.

This book is full of actionable steps that readers can take to make positive changes in their life. Hendricks encourages readers to become aware of self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors, recognize the areas where they limit themselves, and commit to breaking out of these patterns. He also provides practical advice on cultivating an attitude of abundance and embracing one's passions.

No matter how you proceed in life, which direction, or how fast - there will always be others that get in your way and harass you. This is human nature. Some will take great lengths to impede your progress

The present time is challenging for everyone even the best of us

.

Well that may be true I don't think it's a license to operate with a pervasive zero-sum mentality

With limitation and challenge comes opportunity

If you're not familiar with teddy Roosevelt's man in the arena speech, take a listen; it's worth your time.

What I want to share is in regards to real versus imaginary harms.

Do not let him in nature surprise you. Pause take a breath using the small gap between stimulus and response to craft your best answer.

If someone takes a swing at you and Miss. were you harmed?

Do the unknown comments behind your back pressure from sleeping at night.

Except for despite your best efforts you are can be criticized and thwarted

A personal example is recently giveaway access to something that created it was costly and while the overall reviews were positive several uses it as an opportunity to throw rocks and the lesson remind me is this even if I helped just one person.

That's the true magic, and that's what's real.

Mindset and asking better questions

Reframing results and not labeling as failure

Here is a rough transcript

Unedited like this podcast:

Speaker 1: (00:03)Hey, welcome to another episode of the recharge podcast. And Speaker 2: (00:06)we're here on this eve of the beginning of the school year. I'm Laura Schwindt. Speaker 1: (00:11)I'm Mitchel Schwindt. And we wanted to share some thoughts on transitioning into a new environment, particularly on the eve of our kiddos starting a new school in a place that's 2,500 miles away from where they grew up essentially. Speaker 2: (00:27)Yeah. And so we were kind of reflecting back on our school years and thinking that a lot of you can reflect back and, and remember those feelings that you had when you took a test that you didn't do so well on, or you had a project that you didn't get the best grade on and how that made you feel and what you did after that. Speaker 1: (00:50)Well, also how it was presented to you. I mean, unfortunately they're like anything in life, business and school. There's a whole host of talents out there from those that are cognizant and cautious of little feelings versus a hardcore, hard-charging boss that that doesn't really give a rip. And, uh, it sort of creates a narrative in most people's minds about how they interpret those events, Speaker 2: (01:14)right? And so we've been trying to consciously think about how to, um, facilitate this for our kiddos so that when they have these experiences in school and in life transitioning into life, when they have failures, when they have things that they don't do well, and how can this serve them so that they don't feel like a failure and that they don't want to try, they, they don't want to push themselves because they don't like that feeling of failure. And it Kinda comes down to am mindset. Speaker 1: (01:46)Well also language. I mean you use the word failure there and, and depending on how you were brought up in what environment, uh, you were raised in and your own mindset, whether it's fixed or growth, you might not interpret it as failure, but just a, a data point. Oh, a lesson, uh, just a small segment or a slice of the pie as opposed to a broader stroke of failure in itself. So it's somewhat how you talk to yourself, the language you use. And, and obviously that's colored by how other people talk to you as well, but it's very powerful to have a specific, uh, routine or inner dialogue that you can deploy during those situations. And it's a little challenging to, to cheat, to teach, um, teens or, or preteens, uh, and adults to often forget that language that, that runs, uh, subconsciously in our minds is a very powerful determinant of how we feel and how we behave and how we approach things. Speaker 2: (02:43)Right. I know that when I'm at particularly one of our children, when something didn't go well, would just go ultimately to the absolute negative. I'm a failure. I'll never be smart. I suck at this. The world hates me. Yeah. He would just go there. Oh, I said, who? Well, I've got to, he's so not specific, but um, and it really boils down to when they're in that mood, what questions can you ask them? Because really it helps if they can come to the answer, not you kind of priming them with the information, but asking the right questions so that in their mind they start coming up with the right answers or better answers. Speaker 1: (03:28)Oh, asking better questions, you know, in terms of, uh, removing the catastrophe from the question, you know, why do I suck? Well, I mean, obviously you're going to come up with answers that are pretty derogatory in self-defeating. So, you know, what could I have done better? Why didn't this work? What am I going to do next time? Uh, what would somebody they look up to? How would they have approached this or done that? Uh, what strategies could I use in the future? Or, uh, you know, learning from either personal examples or mentors. What have I done in the past and the situation that's worked well, or what did my older brother or sister do in this situation that I could try myself and try to change the language of the question they're asking themselves and changing the meaning of the situation as well. Speaker 2: (04:16)Right. And that's something that I, I've actually learned from a coach and it was a beautiful lesson was what questions are you asking yourself? And basically it comes down to what did go well because there is some things that do go well, what didn't go well and what are you going to do about it moving forward. I mean that's really what we want. We want that question answered. What are you going to do about it moving forward? Speaker 1: (04:43)Well and also what meaning did you attach to it? I mean, as we started out talking about the, the broad brush stoke strokes where, and you know, instead of interpreting something as a point in time and event, it's human tendency to label things globally. Like, uh, I, I'm bad at this so I'm a bad person or a, you know, I failed today, so I'm a failure in business or entrepreneurship or relationship or parenting or whatever situation it is. Speaker 2: (05:11)Right? Yeah. And so, um, that's another great question to ask them over and over and over again is what meaning are you giving this? And could there be another meeting and keep asking them what other meeting could it be? And then encouraging them to pick the best meaning. Really. And so, you know, you're giving this the meaning that you're a failure. You failed this test, you're an absolute failure. What other meaning could it be? And then maybe they pick out, you know, the fact that they spent the night watching youtube videos instead of studying. And so, um, you know, that could be then, well, I guess the meaning is that if you would have applied your time differently, that might not have happened. Speaker 1: (05:53)And the things are fluid and dynamic. I think it, you know, from a, uh, adolescent perspective, things tend to be all or none. And I'm guilty of the same thing myself, but reminding them that this is purely a, a point in time, you know, labeling it as an event that happened on Thursday, not September sox or the first semester. That seems to be the theme of the conversation is sucking. But, uh, reminding them w which is difficult when you know, as same as adults, when you're beat down and you've had a horrible day, it's hard to just snap out of there, which, you know, there's some, some tricks and some physiology things that can be done to change your state. You know, change your physiology, get out, move, exercise, ride, bike, play soccer, take your dog for a walk, change your focus, um, change your environment. Music is a powerful way that shifts that. Uh, I mean obviously everybody has their own favorite, but more than likely we could think of our three children and think about what in their world would allow them to do to get out of their, their funk relatively quickly. So, Speaker 2: (06:56)right. And then just giving them the space, but basically encouraging them to have that, that growth mindset and, and basically the meaning of that is that you, your intelligence or your skill can be developed in any field that you are not. Where you are right now is not set. You can develop and learn and become whatever you want to be. And that's, that's pretty powerful. If you can have that mindset and realize that actually your failures are stepping tone stones to success, right? Speaker 1: (07:27)Well, yeah, you bring up the points. It's basically a different way of saying grit. And I think most people that are watching this or listening to this can think back about somebody who was instrumental in their, their, their life, whether it was a mentor or a teacher or a coach. And I think that's why, you know, having a, you know, sports and talented coaches is so important in childhood development because they're not always going to listen to the lessons that we try to present. But having a coach that's going to instill with them that the perseverance and grit are key determinants of success and that can out pace by far talent, talent. So it's just a very, it's a, it's a complicated stew that you're trying to, to, to cook, to brew, so to speak. And uh, just I think just, you know, I don't want to say use the word hammering, but you know, reiterating and bringing this up in and using examples and things that can remind them and help ground them. But also give them and us the tools that help overcome, uh, in difficult situations. And, uh, events that didn't go as planned. They're not failures. They just didn't turn out as, as how you wanted them. So it's, it's a result. You didn't produce a failure, you produced a result. That's all it is. It's not a failure. It's just a result. Speaker 2: (08:38)Right. And maybe next time your result is a little more favor favorable to you. This is true. And so on the eve of the beginning of school, I hope this was helpful and that, um, you can use this maybe in your life too. I mean, we can all use a little bit of this, right? Yeah, Speaker 1: (08:54)absolutely. Oh, and I forgot to Speaker 3: (08:56)thank our sponsor, HoundHOIST.com.(08:57) Come check them out? Their concept is bringing everybody to the table. I oftentimes forget to mention our sponsors, but yes, I got it done. Thank you HOUNDHOIST.COM.(09:07)Awesome. All right, everyone. Have a great night. Fantastic. Have a great week.

The promotion of health by a diet that is rich in Brassica vegetables, including its association with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (52, 130, 189, 276) and a lower incidence in a wide variety of cancer types, including breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancer, has been extensively reported in the literature (75, 129, 205, 285, 288). A diet of three to five servings per week is sufficient to decrease the risk of cancer development by ∼30%–40%

Of note, Bosetti et al. conducted an integrated series of case-control studies on various malignancies in order to assess cancer incidence and cruciferous vegetable consumption (24). It was found that subjects who consumed at least one portion of cruciferous vegetables per week as compared with those with no or occasional consumption were associated with a significantly reduced risk of oral cavity and pharynx, esophageal, colorectal, breast, and kidney cancer.

Transcript:

[00:00] Welcome to another episode of the recharge podcast. This is segment nine of the bedroom hero behind the bedroom door and I just want to kind of wrap things up here in a summary fashion and just share some information with you. So I want to start with a quote that I heard from a a entrepreneur, a billionaire, and it basically discussed excuses, excuses, mindset used by those who are focused on themselves and their inability to solve the problem. It has nothing to do with reality and doesn't approve anything and I think that's applicable for a variety of reasons. In the context of what we're talking about in this series of bedroom hero and that a one size solution isn't for everybody. I see a lot of men that are frustrated that they've tried things before it hasn't worked and it's they're told that it's impossible, that their problem is not solvable. [00:50] That they're just going to have to deal with this and learn to cope with it. And I think that really sort of A. I'm trying to figure out a way to say this nicely, but it doesn't do a service to the person they're suffering with an issue they want to solve a problem and not looking beyond or exploring things that maybe are novel or on the cusp or cutting edge or fringe. Just find a solution. Uh, there are plenty of people out there that are doing amazing things and pushing science forward. So just keep looking. So in this past few segments here, we talked about, uh, you know, the issues behind the bedroom door, the statistics on how sexual dysfunction affects not only men, but also women to equal, if not greater, percent. Also shared a exercise, tips on high intensity interval sprinting and lifting weights in terms of testosterone. [01:39] And the subsequent section talked a little bit about some nutritional things that are cofactors for hormone production and particularly for the purposes of this men's health focused segment, testosterone production. A shared a little bit about some of the herbs and some of the things that are a little bit more fringe from anecdotal and some science behind it as well. Obviously, do your own diligence. This is an educational podcast. I'm not telling anybody listening to this to take a particular substance, something that needs to be coordinated and measured and discussed with somebody who knows your unique physiology, medical history and medications. Next moved on to some biohacking things involving red light and cryotherapy. Fascinating, fascinating science. If you're not familiar with Wim Hof, the iceman, just google him. He's got several world records and what he's been able to demonstrate with cold therapy and physiology is truly mind boggling. [02:32] I also shared some data on sound wave therapy, whether it's for erectile dysfunction or Peroni's disease and how that works and can really improve and change a life for a number of people, and then I combine that with some prp and stem cell discussion and some novel therapeutics that are being used to treat more refractory cases of ed or to deal with people who now don't necessarily want to take a pill. I think the tendency in in the US at least is to prescribe a pill and if that doesn't work or if it's a side effect and you prescribe another pill to take care of the side effect of the first one and on it goes and it's not really a viable solution. The concept of precision medicine or Omix is this. You are n of one and if you look at a standard bell curve distribution, people lie on the ends of either spectrum in those are actually cutoff, avoided, ignored, however you want to view it in the mean. [03:33] The middle point is what's focused on and so a lot of people fall outside of the boundaries and so what is often deemed as a standard therapy or quote normal doesn't take in account a whole host of people that are either below or above for a variety of reasons. Whether that's genetics, hormones, lifestyle, and to try to use the common standard approach for those people. Oftentimes is met with disappointment or worst case scenario disaster, but most often frustration. And so really having a precision approach to each person. Their unique problem. Whether it involves some genetic testing, obviously hormonal testing is vital for what the point of this segment and these previous eight sessions were about in. So it's really finding somebody who wants to partner with you to find a precise answer for your unique situation. So I hope you found this helpful. As always, let me know if you have any questions and please, please no more gas station, Madison no more horny goat weed or I can't even think of the names of all the things that I've seen in the last week because I've been specifically looking at them and chuckling at them and a feeling a little bit remiss that people are actually spending and wasting their money on these things. [04:41] So as always, have a fantastic week. Be Safe, be well, and I'll talk to you soon.

Machine Generated Transcript:

[00:00] Welcome, welcome to another episode of the recharge podcast. This is the bedroom hero segment eight. I believe in what I want to talk about in this segment are mistakes, common mistakes that I see on a daily basis in my men's health practice and coaching a Rome. And so let's just jump into these here. The first is self abuse. And this, uh, you know, probably is what you think it is, but also something else. I have a lot of men who are addicted to endurance sports and uh, myself, I love that realm, but it has some consequences. The chronic endurance chronic cardio actually creates some inflammation in the body, increases cortisol level, adrenal fatigue, disrupts hormones and can cause a whole host of problems. And so while it may be addicting, fun, rewarding, maybe a lifestyle, just keep in mind that when things aren't going as well behind the bedroom door, take a look at what's going on inside the gym or out on the trail or on the bike that'll give you some idea about things. [00:58] Um, drugs. There are a whole host of drugs and have sexual side effects in a prescription. Drugs will also elicit drugs. I see a fair number of people that are, uh, maybe addicted to a substance and they're not sure why things aren't working as well as they had in the past. And really you need to take a long, hard look at what is going on in terms of habits, lifestyle and choices. It's all about choice. I've alluded to this in a couple of the other segments and that's what I call a gas station pharmacy. Really, we do not know what's in most of these things. We don't know how they work if they're even the substance that they say they are, so they're fancily package. They look cool. The colors are bright, the promises are bold. These things are produced in a variety of ways that are not regulated by the government. [01:47] Just to keep that in mind that it might say it's something doesn't have to mean that that's what's in there. It can be adulterated, full of toxins or worst case could be full of some harmful chemicals. Occasionally contained some active drugs such as sildenafil or Tadalafil, which can be dangerous for people depending on what their underlying medical situation is, so without a skilled provider in the loop, in a reputable, verifiable product, all bets are off. Plastics are another huge thing. A thalates are endocrine disruptors. You know every time you're sipping out of a plastic jug plastic bottle, think about this, you travel, you get some water, maybe get a 12 pack or a 24 pack of water, throw it in the trunk, backseat and it sits in the sun and those toxic chemicals leach into the water and drink that stuff and it disrupts your hormones. [02:35] I'm also the fluid, the fluid, the food. Unfortunately the standard American diet is just that. It's just sad and it's packed full of things that will inflame the body, caloric excess weight gain, all the things that can disrupt not only sexual function, erectile dysfunction, but also health in general, so I'm not going to Belabor the point. I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about and this isn't just a male issue. The statistics for females or are pretty similar. Maybe even a little higher, whether it's a female sexual arousal disorder or the problems with hormonal loss with aging or surgical hysterectomy where the ovaries are removed and the hormones are absent and as estrogen levels and other things become dysregulated that the vagina actually can atrophy and dry up and shrivel up like a raisin. And so makes penetration, sexual activity obviously very painful and uncomfortable and at times even impossible, but there is help. [03:29] There are specific treatments, whether that's bioidentical hormones, whether it's the topical regimen or laser rejuvenation of the vagina. There a variety of things out there. There are plenty of people that are interested in this area that are skilled at it and are changing and transforming a relationships and lives both for men and women. So, uh, those are just a few of the common mistakes that I see there. There are others as well, but, uh, let me know if you have any questions as I always talk to your provider. Look for the cars, get beyond the standard and have a fantastic week. I will be wrapping this up here shortly.

[00:01] Welcome to another episode of the recharge podcast. This is episode seven of the bedroom hero and I want to talk a little bit about a combination approach and also another condition that you may or may not be familiar with. And so the, uh, condition I'm talking about is called Peyronie's and it's manifested as a curvature in the penis and it can be very painful enough so that it precludes sexual activity or it can be so severe that a penetration is just not possible. It's more common than you might know. I see a fair number of men with this on a regular basis and many have resigned themselves to just dealing with it, uh, to not being able to have sexual activity or maybe they try to treatment that didn't really work, whether it was a topical therapy or an injection and didn't really get the results that they were looking for. [00:47] And as I alluded to in the previous segment about shockwave therapy using sound waves, this device, these devices have actually been used in Peroni's to help break down some of the scar tissue. And when combined with other therapies, a penis pump, the results can be quite impressive and life changing in terms of sexual health for the man effected by this. So, uh, there are several companies out there that are working on specific protocols. I don't want to mention any names, try to keep this free of relatively commercial bias, but combination of a sound wave therapy with injection use of a penis pump to help with the blood flow, straightening and healing. And the men in these particular series have had some pretty successful results taken mine. The statistics that show that, you know, by the age of 40, about 40 percent of men have some problem by the age of 70. It's 70 percent or more based on some of the euro logic literature. So just take that in heart when you're considering a, you know, researching, looking for somebody who's doing something outside of the box, someone who's willing to go a step or two beyond the commonplace to deliver a result in a solution that's unique and customizable to your unique situation. So I hope you found that helpful as always, take care of you. Well, have a fantastic week.

[00:01] Welcome to another episode of the recharge podcast. This is segment six of behind the bedroom door becoming the bedroom hero. What I want to talk about in this segment is a technology that's actually been around for quite a while. It's been used in medicine and healthcare for a long, long time for a variety of applications, but it's only recently gained light, probably partly due to marketing efforts and promotional efforts, but also due to need and what I'm talking about is sound wave therapy. There are several companies out there that manufacture these devices. If you're familiar with lithotripsy, it's actually a technique where sound waves are directed into the kidneys to break up kidney stones. It's done under general anesthesia because of the pain, but it's in a very effective way to help rid the body of stones in the realm of behind the bedroom door. [00:49] It deals with erectile dysfunction and the rationale behind it, as it was explained to me by several physicians who are experts in this realm, is that it breaks up scar tissue, stimulates new blood vessel growth in, can improve blood flow, and so the treatments are painless and take about 20 minutes and then directed not only to the penis itself, but also at the base of the penis and just right in that region with the realization that blood flow, obviously he comes from higher up and depending on the mechanism, whether it's pelvic trauma, surgery, radiation, or something else. This device has shown promise in improving blood flow, which is the key heart of the matter in terms of erectile dysfunction. So there's a variety of other adjunctive techniques that I'll share here in just a moment that are used in combination with this device in that, and those include prp and stem cells. [01:42] So prp stands for platelet rich plasma and this has got its start, I believe in. You know, mostly in the joint space. There was an older technique called prolotherapy, but the reason is that platelets, the little sticky things in our blood are just packed with growth factors and by injecting these in a variety of tissues, whether it's joined the penis called the p shot or on the female, the Oshot can actually cause some improved physiologic responses, and so what what skilled providers are doing now is they're combining the shockwave therapy with either prp injections or stem cell injections and generating in demonstrating some pretty impressive results for people with a, with a relatively refractory erectile dysfunction, so it's a way to improve what the body does naturally without necessarily relying on a drug such as a Sildenafil, Tadalafil, et Cetera, et Cetera. There are a variety of other similar acting drugs out there, so some people want something that's more lasting or long term and this has the potential application for that. [02:43] Not every patient is right for this therapy. You're going to want to see somebody who knows what they're doing and has experienced in this realm. The final point I wanted to bring up and bring out is that a prp. Well, two things actually, prp and stem cells are different. PRP is platelets. Stem cells are actually derive from your fat and it's a different technique of extraction and reinsertion, so keep that in mind. They're completely separate and different, but they both can be used in the realm of erectile dysfunction. PRP is a math problem. You need a provider that really knows what they're doing in terms of the math and what I'm getting at is that there is a minimal quantity of platelets that are really necessary to generate an improved result in, so just taking a little bit of platelets and injecting them into the tissue, whether it's the base of the penis, I'm a joint, et cetera. [03:36] If it's not a high enough concentration and the result is going to be less robust or even nonexistent, so it's not a cheap procedure, and so I really encourage you to question the provider that you're seeing about the technique, the technology, that protocol, the results they've gotten in the past to make sure that you are getting the best use of your money. So that wraps up this segment. In the next section, I'm going to be talking about some common mistakes. I alluded to this a little bit in the earlier section, but I want to just to expand on this a little bit here and then we'll be in the home stretch where I will, uh, bring things together and start wrapping things up for you.

[00:01] Welcome back to the recharge podcast. This is segment five on biohacking behind the bedroom door. I want to share a few things that I picked up from a functional medicine really redefining medicine conference. A really fascinating on some of the technology that people are using to boost a libido deal with erectile or men's health function. And so some of this is anecdotal. Obviously you want to check it out and do your own due diligence. But I'm fascinated by science and how people are pushing boundaries in frontiers. And so the, um, the first is a electrical muscle stimulation or ems. And so there a variety of products out on the market. They can actually accomplish this there used in recovery. And I experimented with a few of them when I used to compete in triathlon. Uh, some of the brands you might come across would be compacts or new fit, but the way these work is actually stimulate muscles, primarily leg muscles is how they're often used and it actually increases the androgen receptors are testosterone receptors. [00:58] So it does act a lot like exercise, high intensity training or weight training versus just a way to hack your time, particularly if you know you're sitting reading, relaxing, you can actually benefit and use that time wisely. Next is red light therapy. There is some data about red light therapy in terms of maybe improving testosterone function, maybe vascular flow. There's plenty of data from science on infrared in terms of longevity from a heart standpoint. There's some very interesting finished studies that have talked about in other episodes about longevity and decreasing mortality by just sitting in the sauna few times a week. So, uh, the red light actually can stimulate some collagen production and help potentially with some skin aging skin issues. Uh, so there's a variety of devices on the market that you can look for. I like true light. Um, it's a company that's created an own believe by Dave asprey. [01:54] If I'm correct on that, if I'm not, let me know. Moving on to a cold thermogenesis, I've been playing around with this as much as possible, given that I live in a northern climate and six months out of the year. Unfortunately sucks and it's cold, but there's a course by Wim Hoff. He is actually the one who sort of pioneered some of these cold techniques and did some interesting studies that were validated by science where he can actually control his autonomic nervous system through cold exposure in breath techniques and so cold thermogenesis is designed to increase growth hormone, which a lot of people interested in the fitness and bodybuilding space would be keen to know boost testosterone and can actually increase growth of new blood vessels or vascularization as it's called. I have on the list for Santa next year, chilly pad, so somewhat of an expensive device, but circulates a underneath the mattress and can allow you to sleep much cooler, much cooler. [02:53] And I'm just curious when I start playing around with that device, what sort of effects I'll have. I know there's plenty of, of people out there who are well known on the social media circuit who endorse this product. And um, I've heard about it before. I just haven't pulled the trigger on buying it yet. I'm moving onto a roasted nuts and the dangers of emf. All our devices that were attached to connect the two in love with obsessed with emit electrical radiation. I shared an episode on in my men's health course talking about roasted nuts and how potentially carrying your device in your front pocket can have some effects. There's plenty of data out there on power line, transmission, cell phone use, concerns about brain cancers. I'm not saying that it's all been validated through your own diligence and research and see what you think, but it seems to make intuitive sense that if you have a device that's emitting radiation next to your testicles, it's probably not the best situation. [03:51] Similarly, females, when your devices in your front pocket, your ovaries aren't that far away and these devices produce a fair amount of electrical energy that can be measured with a cheap device from Amazon. So what I mean just in fact, holding your phone in one hand, away from your body and having somebody measure the electrical impulse coming out the other side of your opposite hand. You'll clearly see the results of what I'm talking about. So there are some ways to counteract this, including grounding and earthing and using some pulse devices to help counteract the effects of, uh, of the, uh, radiation from devices. Uh, so I almost want to wrap this up here and keep it relatively short. I'll be talking next segment about another technology. I can't even call it a biohack because it's been around for 15 years and it's been used in a variety of other applications, but it's really come to light in the men's health, sexual health ed realm. So, as always, let me know if you have questions and I look forward to, uh, talking to you in the next week.

[00:00] Welcome to the recharge podcast. This is segment number four of the bedroom hero. What I'm talking about in this segment I call gas station medicine herbal products and a little bit of the fringe and I hope you stick around till the end because there's a message there that you won't want to miss. I want to cover a few supplements here and give you a little bit about the how and the why. So the first is Maka. It's also known as Peruvian Ginseng. It's actually a route and I think it tastes pretty good. It comes in a powdered form. You can find it on Amazon and a variety of other companies and supplement places offer that. And the way it works is it actually increases testosterone receptors so your body can actually benefit from them. They also boosts Libido and uh, there is some reports that Maka can actually counter effect some of the side effects of Ssri Ssri antidepressants, like sertraline, Prozac, Zoloft, things like that that can affect Libido in Makkah is just one of the ways that as reported in the literature to counteract that. [01:01] One of my favorites is cacau or dark chocolate, and I usually buy the 85 to 90 percent forum because I want the benefit of this food. Food is medicine, but I don't want the sugar. I don't like extra added sugar for a variety of reasons and uh, you know, it was hippocrates who stay, who stated that instead of using medicine, why not try to fast for one day or also to use food as medicine? And so I really take that to heart in my own life practice. And for those that I work with on a coaching basis, there's some great recipes of Cacao on the web, including some, some cacao hot cocoa. I particularly like a product a from four sigmatic. You can find the link on my instagram bio, a delicious products. I take it for a variety of reasons. Um, some might want to check that out. [01:46] Gives, gives you an excuse to eat chocolate. The way it works, that actually boosts flavonoids, which increases nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a substance that is how blood vessels dilate and improves blood flow. That's how Viagra and Cialis and medications like that. They actually work on an enzyme that's involved in nitric oxide. Moving onto Tang Tongkat Ali or long jack, the medical scientific name is your Acoma long folio and this increases libido. I have a lot of my clients and patients take this hoping that they'll have better erectile strengthen. There'll be able to perform like there in 19, but the reality is it's primarily a libido booster. You'll want to know what you're taking and um, I'll get to that in just a minute here. A nexus pycnogenol or pine bark extract. It works similarly to dark chocolate cacao by increasing flavonoids and therefore increasing nitric oxide production. I have a lot of my clients or patients take horny goat weed. [02:48] This is what I call gas station medicine. It's actually tribulus is the formal name of it, but it's designed to increase our boost libido and many people take it hoping for a different effect. And I have diabetic people that are using the product and not getting results in wondering why I've got other people on a variety of other prescription medications that don't quite respond the way they think in. Part of the issue is it doesn't actually necessarily do a whole lot in terms of erectile function or dysfunction and knowing what you're taking in, what's in it in how it's supposed to work is a huge problem with a lot of these supplements. They go buy fancy names. The packaging is enticing. Their impulse buys usually at the gas station near the counter or the magazine section. And I get this question almost every day like I'm using this. [03:36] It doesn't work. All it does is gives me a headache. I'm not sure why it's supposed to do x, y, or Z. and you can't trust or believe the packaging on a lot of these things. They're not tested, they're not regulated. They can be tainted, adulterated, full of toxins. Occasionally, they may even actually contain some active ingredient, such as Tadalifil or Sildenafil. Which are the active ingredients in some of the brand name drugs that you are likely familiar with, the issue with this is depending on what medications a person's taking, whether they have any heart problems, whether they have eye problems, uh, there's a variety of contra indication to taking some of these medications. And if they're in these unregulated herbal products that may or may not be producing United States, there's really all bets are off. So I strongly encourage anybody listening to this to avoid the gas station pharmacology. So that wraps up this segment and a next, I'm going to be talking a little bit about some bio hacking techniques in terms of Ed and I look forward to your questions as I always have. Fantastic week. Be well.

Transcript:

[00:01] Welcome back to the recharge podcast. This is segment three on the bedroom hero. In the first section I shared some data that some of you have mentioned that you were completely astonished and shocked by. A second segment was just a little bit about exercise, high intensity training and lifting heavy weights. And this segment actually focus on some just brief nutritional aspects of men's health, sexual health, and the key take home here is unfortunately the sad standard American diet can't get any worse other than just eating more of it. So I heard a speaker mentioned, you know, if you want to feel better than just eat a little smaller bag of the crap that you eat on a, on a given daily basis. So, um, so a few elements that magnesium is often quite low in the standard American diet and magnesium combined with sync are important for testosterone production. [00:51] And uh, I encourage a testing, you know, resisting the temptation that more is better because a person can get into some trouble. We know that if you take too much zinc, it actually can deplete copper, which is vital cofactor in a variety of other processes. One of my favorites is vitamin D, but it's not just vitamin D, it's actually vitamin D with something calledK two. And the reason or rationale behind k two is that without it, the calcium, the vitamin D is involved in regulating and metabolizing actually gets deposited in the blood vessel walls. And so that makes the vessels stiffen age prematurely. So in terms of this, uh, discussion, the vessels in the penis are quite tiny, uh, thinking about other things like the blood vessels in the heart or the aorta, but just depositing calcium in the wall of any vessel will make it stiff, inflexible in a lot of the normal body responses to blood flow stimulation. [01:43] Whether that's a sexual health or exercise or activity wise can be hampered. Some of you've asked me about eating ants are getting an, an supplement. And the, the, the strategy or the thought behind that is there's actually a zinc in black ants. And so it comes in a variety of forms and powders and things like that. I particularly don't take it. You never know what you're going to get from some of these supplements. And so, uh, encourage you, if you're looking at a particular supplement, you know, know the science behind it. Don't waste your money on black ants. There's plenty of other nutritional sources of zinc, magnesium, and reputable companies that your personal physician can help you with. A, I mentioned already that excessive zinc can deplete copper, which is in caused problems. Some of you may know about Dah da. It's an actual hormone. [02:33] It's available over the counter in the US, but keep in mind that this is actually banned by many of the higher sports authorities for a variety of reasons and it's considered a performance enhancing drug. The reason that this is problematic and in, in a person just can't do this willy nilly without some testing and monitoring is dta is a precursor and as shuttles down a variety of pathways in the body being acted upon by different enzymes, different genetic or nutritional factors. It can be shifted or shuttle into different things for men, including estrogen, testosterone, variety of other metabolites, and so without clearly knowing how your body is processing and handling. This can set a person up for some potential problems and some visible side effects that as a man, a considered not desirable if you know what I'm talking about. So definitely work with a practitioner, work with someone who's experienced in this area, including hormonal health and monitor and test. [03:27] It's not all that expensive to have this done and to to check on periodically. I like to do quarterly testing on a variety of different aspects of my health and uh, this is one of those simple tests that's always in that regimen creatine. Many of you probably are aware of this in terms of the weightlifting and supplement and sports enhancements. Actually some benefit there in terms of men's health, testosterone and a physical function. It actually is absorbed a little bit better in a warm medium, so some warm water or if you're putting it into some other cocktail, think about warming it up somewhat. A protein, obviously huge amount of controversy out there depending on who you're reading or looking at, but from the cutting edge science, from Dr Valter Longo and in terms of longevity and a variety of other beneficial process processes inside the body, more is not always better and excessive protein actually, you know, there's no protein store in the body. [04:22] It's actually converted in a caloric manner and can be stored as fat and so the average from a recommendation from another physician from the World Congress that I attended recently was a zero point five grams per kilogram and that's from Dr. Long goes work as well as others, so more is not always better in terms of of health in general. A few other supplements that also can be beneficial behind the bedroom door would be Brazil nuts because they contain selenium and are also beneficial in the testosterone pathway. Production raisins actually have trace micro element called Boron and also good fats. There's a whole host of things out there that's really confusing for the general public to interpret in terms of what good and bad fat actually is and the common belief that taking a stat and then pushing the cholesterol down as low as possible is always beneficial. [05:13] Kind of flies in the face of what a lot of people in the know are saying in terms of hormone production. If the total cholesterol is too low, it's the precursor for variety. Other hormones in the body just can't produce what it's supposed to do. Produce, whether that's testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, a variety of other hormones, so having extremely low cholesterol can pose some problems, so make sure that there's a balanced approach and a balanced discussion. Partner with your practitioner, your primary provider, your cardiologist, your hopefully your functional medicine provider, and actually find a strategy, a method, a range that is beneficial for you in terms of your body, your heart, but also your hormonal health. Your body will thank you for it and so will your partner. That's wrapping up this segment here. In the next section we'll be talking a little bit about gas station medicine, herbal products, and some fringe elements that are interesting to discuss. So as always, let me know if you have questions. Have a fantastic week. Be well, take care.

[00:00] Welcome back to the recharge podcast. This is segment two of the bedroom hero. In this section I'm gonna be talking about exercise with civically, how that applies to men's health and erectile. This, this information was fresh from the world congress. Uh, and I want to share that with you. So one of the things about testosterone is there's a way to hack your body to increase the receptors in the body and that's through a variety of things, including lifting heavy weights and sprinting, sprinting in as little as six seconds can actually cause an upregulation of the receptors in the muscle in men. And so, you know, it's just, it's very simple, it's very short. We're talking like six seconds. This has the ability to increase testosterone in the body. And so that proper ideal ratio is either one to five. So you're going to sprint for six seconds, you take 30 seconds off, and then sprint again, do that four times. [00:54] And the data shows that there can be some improvement in testosterone if you're able to run. That is a, the next thing is lifting heavy stuff. And, uh, this is a very similar phenomenon, particularly, you know, the legs are dense in the testosterone receptors and by lifting heavy things with like a hex bar or I personally love kettlebells. We have a variety of kettlebells scattered around the house that, that I do and, and even my kids do, but it's just a way to hack your physiology and increase the, uh, the testosterone levels in the body. Next is grip strength. That's an overlooked thing, but it actually ties to longevity. I'm going to cover this in a separate podcast, but I was just fascinated by the data that was shared by one of the presenters at the world congress that I went to recently. This is counterintuitive to a lot of people. [01:41] Uh, you know, myself included. I want to get into the gym and out of the gym as quick as possible. Everybody's busy, we've got things to do, kids jobs, etc. But what the data show is that actually by increasing the rest between sets up to about 120 seconds, uh, actually improves testosterone, can also improve libido. So, you know, the next time I'm at the gym, I'm going to have to remind myself that, you know, the, the dude that's, that's Bigger than me sitting on the bench playing with his phone is actually probably doing his body some good as opposed to myself who's just trying to hit each machine, get on and off as quick as possible. there's some fascinating science. If you want to dig deeper into it. There's a couple of versions out there by uh, doug mcgruff called body by science. he also has a q and a book that talks more about that. [02:26] So something that you might want to check out. And then the final point in this short segment is to use the legs, the legs, very simple exercises, you know, whether it's a turkish getup or just lying down on the ground and getting back up. Um, it actually, you know, using those larger muscle groups actually has some clear benefit in terms of a testosterone receptors. So chronic exercise is a huge problem. I used to do a lot of triathlon and endurance events, trail running marathons, and that just beats the hell out of the body, causes increased inflammation, suppresses a variety of hormones, raises stress hormones, including cortisol, and does a variety of things, so I know that in our society more is often perceived as better, but in terms of sexual health, sexual function, erectile dysfunction, chronic cardio is not a friend, so I hope you found that helpful. This is segment two. In the next segment, we'll be talking about nutrition, some nutritional things that are necessary for testosterone and a performance behind the bedroom door. So as always, consult your personal physician before you're taking out an exercise program. We're trying something new. Let me know if you have questions, if you will.

Fresh ideas from cutting edge of anti-aging medicine fresh from this years World's Congress.

Transcript:

[00:00] I had a lot of fun creating this segments and some of the ideas are pulled from industry leaders, thought pioneers. I just came from a conference, the world congress where the whole title or mantra is to redefine medicine, to create a personalized or unique approach to solve problems on a global level from the smallest health concern too. Overwhelming chronic diseases is just fascinating. Being around about 5,000 forward thinking minds. With that in mind, I had a lot of fun creating this, coming up with a title and I surveyed a many of you in my audience about what might be a fun yet still tasteful title and the, uh, the, the winter was becoming the bedroom hero. And so this is part one of probably 10 parts of the, uh, the session here. And I'll wrap up with a final segment as well. Although this primarily focuses on men, there's obviously two partners involved and there'll be some sprinkling in of things that relate to the female partner as well. [01:05] So I first want to start just by defining the problem. And I worked in the mental health space primarily, and it always surprises people when they hear these numbers. I think that it can't be that real and the reality is that they're probably even higher than what current statistics are showing because people, well, they don't like to talk about it. It's embarrassing. You feel that they can share this with their personal physician and uh, so it's, you know, it's either suppressed or repressed or its water cooler talk and the information isn't really all that act accurate or applicable or actionable. So just a few statistics know in terms of men sexual disfunction, erectile dysfunction by the age of 40, about 52 percent of men suffer some form of sexual dysfunction. Obviously with age and health problems, things can deteriorate and that number hits 70 percent around the age of 70. [01:56] It's probably even higher than that. It's just really hard to exactly, precisely estimate this. I see a fair number of teens that, you know, deal with this issue and it's primarily probably a stress related issue. There's certainly other factors to consider such as low testosterone. There are some indifferent things that can cause this medications and side effects, a lifestyle, you know, see a fair number of teens and college kids that are quite overweight and that has a huge impact on sexual health. And so those are just a few things to take consideration, uh, for younger people out there. It's always important as a, you know, a medical professional. Think about it from a heart or vascular standpoint. For most men, a blood flow problem is primarily the most common cause of Ed can be other things though as well as I mentioned medications, side effects, particularly high blood pressure, medications, antidepressants, a lot of those tend to have sexual side effects, diabetes, alcohol intake, illicit drugs, hormonal problems, and something that's often overlooked is trauma. [03:00] See a fair number of men that had been involved in car accidents, maybe had some back surgery, worst case scenario, pelvic fracture, and that all can potentially affect an interrupt or disrupt blood flow. So it's not just a single entity for most people, uh, but it's important to rule out some of the other things. So, uh, you know, I know a lot of people listening to this probably want to just take a pill and forget about it. That's a common mindset, at least in American health and mentality for unfortunately the patients that I work with often want more than that. They want an answer, they want a robust solution as opposed to just taking something and ignoring the problem. And that kind of we'll get to some of the things that I'll talk about in subsequent segments where we can deliver some targeted treatment to actually fix or solve the problem I want to move on in, in back to the obesity issue. [03:50] You know, obviously being overweight has its own health implications. But one of the biggest things in terms of sexual function is the belly. Just looking down at the belly. If you have somebody who's got a very large abdomen, it's actually the fat around the organs. The visceral fat that is in is a, an active Endocrin, Oregon. And what happens is there's an enzyme called aromatase. And what aromatase does is it transforms testosterone into estrogen. And although some quantity of estrogen is beneficial in both men and women, obviously having testosterone show shuttled into this path is detrimental for sexual function, sexual health, and some other issues which can be easily seen with the, you know, men with large breasts or man boobs. That's a sign of estrogen dominance among other things. The other point I wanted to bring home is when the issue is addressed proactively, which makes many cringe at the thought of going and actually talking to somebody about this, you know, the, the early stages of Ed are a sign of generally something else as I mentioned, you know, a side effect from a medication, a lifestyle choice, smoking, alcohol, illicit drugs, a variety of other things, and so if intervention can be directed at the early stages, the outcome longterm can be different, not only in terms of Ed and sexual health, but also heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, all those other things that go along with not only diet but also lifestyle choices. [05:17] As the problem persists and becomes what's called a late stage. In medical parlance, there's actually some structural damage that's already been done. The vessels are damaged, they're likely blocked, just like the arteries of the heart can become blocked. There may be some other problems with the veins, uh, or the nerves that people with diabetes longterm actually affects the function and health of nerves just as a diabetic patient can get some neuropathy, numbness, tingling, pain burning in their feet and legs. The same thing happens throughout the body, including the fingers, but also for the purposes of this discussion, uh, erectile dysfunction and sexual health. Um, the next point to bring home is that it's a, there's a lot of things that are available on the Internet and people cross our fingers and hope that what they're getting is actually what they're, they think they're getting a. [06:09] But the reality is a lot of these products are tainted. It could be toxic, they can be adulterated. Sometimes they contain active ingredients. Other times it's purely a placebo effects. And unfortunately I've seen some patients with some unfortunate uncomfortable, unpleasant results from what I'll call a gas station, Madison, so to speak. So the final point to bring home is a, there is a condition called priapism. It's a painful sustained erection. It's abnormal, it's something that cannot be ignored at the risk of penile health. I've seen patients in the emergency department with this and the, uh, the condition can damage the penis itself, including longterm effects with blood flow and nerve function. So I take that in mind, no matter what solution you are seeking, discuss all potential side effects with your prescribing person. And I'm going to talk more about the gas station medicine issue in why that's often not a valid approach in some of the potential consequences that could result from that type of behavior. [07:06] So this is just part one, just the introduction. I think I rambled on a little longer than intended, but I'm going to be talking in the next section about some exercise tactics for men's health and performance and moving on to nutrition, biohacking, some novel techniques and treatments for Ed. And, uh, we'll wrap it up on segment a nine wall. I'll tie things all together for you. So I'll talk to you soon. As always, let me know your if your questions and I hope you found this educational and informative as always, rely on somebody you trust your doctor, your local provider or practitioner to get the answer that you need and deserve.

Poor sleep is a billion $ problem in the US alone due to lost productivity.

Transcript:

[00:02] There is no such thing as work life balance, everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. That's a quote from Alain de Botton. Welcome to the recharge podcast. I'm your host. My name is Mitchell Schwindt. The mission of this podcast is to provide you the tools, tactics, strategies, and resources to recharge your life. The episodes are geared to make an impact on your life in 15 minutes or less, along with more indepth special episodes interviewing experts across numerous disciplines. This show will guide you through getting the most from your body and mind to generate the maximum performance you want in your life. Let's jump into today's. Okay, [00:33] so welcome. Recharge Church [00:35] nation. One of the biggest issues pressing issues that we all face from time to time and unfortunately many of us deal with on a nightly basis, is sleep, getting quality sleep. Everybody talks about it. Everybody asks, how'd you sleep last night? You look tired today. Just take a look at your normal day. How often do you hear that phrase on your workplace? What I want to share on this episode is just a little bit of background about the issue and then to give you some actionable tips. This might sound simple, intuitive, but it's often overlooked. People skip steps or miss out on just very simple important adjustments in their day that really can significantly impact not only the quality but the quantity of sleep. This is a massive issue. It is estimated that it costs over a billion dollars each year alone in the US by itself because of poor performance at work, lost productivity, not to mention sleep deprivation and car accidents and rising costs of health issues such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. [01:33] All those things that aren't so exciting or sexy to talk about, but they do have a significant impact on sleep. And so I'm just going to blow through some tips for better sleep and I hope that you're aware of most of these already and this will just serve as reinforcement. But if you are not aware of these, then my goal is to help give you some action steps and some tips and strategies to really step up your game. In terms of sleep, the first is consistency. It's tempting to burn the candle and then try to sleep in a little bit on the weekends. Try to build up a sleep bank. Well, there is no sleep bank. The best strategy is to try to go to bed about the same time and wake up the same time relatively consistently everyday, every weekend, just throughout the year on a consistent basis. [02:20] That sort of builds in a pattern in your body, triggering sleep, triggering you to wake up and you and you know many people can wake up without an alarm clock to get accustomed to the way their body feels and they wake up in the right phase of sleep as opposed to using an alarm clock and getting jarred awake, startled, getting woken up in the middle of a sleep cycle, and then feeling groggy and fatigue for hours or even the whole day afterwards. The next is the digital sunset and I encourage you to think about shutting off devices, minimizing or avoiding screentime altogether, at least an hour before bed, preferably even a couple of hours. The reason being is that the blue light from our devices actually interferes with Melatonin production, and this is a critical brain neurotransmitter that helps signal sleep. It's involved in a variety of other things including immune function, but for the purposes of this podcast, sleep, I have several pairs of blue blocking sunglasses. [03:19] You can get them on Amazon for cheap. There's no need to spend 100 bucks on them. There's tons of popups now on my instagram feed, but I have several pairs that I think the most expensive pairs, 19 bucks and they're in the bedroom there out by the TV. I use them on a regular basis to block out not only before bed, but also during the day when I'm going to be writing or doing a heavy consulting projects. I don't want to be staring at my screen incessantly. The data is starting to pile in on what this is doing to our eyes, particularly our children's eyes as we go through the technologic explosion, so to speak. Caffeine is a huge thing. I know it's tempting to have that afternoon cup of coffee at the office. A caffeine is ubiquitous, energy drinks, energy shots, all that, but caffeine takes awhile to metabolize and the average person cannot metabolize it quick enough unless you've done genetic testing and know for a fact that it's going to be lingering on. [04:14] So if you're drinking coffee, you know late afternoon before separate time, that's going to be hanging around at bedtime in not only affect your ability to fall asleep, but also maybe the depth or quality of your sleep. Sleeping in a cool dark room is key. Invest in some extra shades. If you've got some, you know, we've got fabric shades and one of the bedrooms in our house, and, uh, even with them close, there's still a fair amount of light, so just invest in some, some curtains or something to pull shut and block it out. The darker the better. And that also includes removing excessive or exaggerate this light sources. If you just look around your bedroom, you're probably going to find a variety of things, smoke detector lights, printer lights, charging lights, uh, you name, it can cover up those little power indicators that can give you even a more profound sense of darkness to allow the brain to really do what it's supposed to do in terms of shutting down and ramping up for sleep. [05:10] Regular exercise is a key for so many reasons, but also it's important strategies to get sleep. Just remember not to exercise too late in the day and the reason being is it's going to do two things. It's going to increase your metabolism and also increase your core body temperature depending on what type of exercise that you participate in. A, I played on a hockey team, late night practices, late night game, sometimes as late as 11:00 at night for start time and found that most of my teammates complained to the same thing that we couldn't sleep when we got home. Part of the reason being is that the core temperature is elevated and it takes awhile for that to drop down and it's really difficult for a person to fall asleep quickly and sleep efficiently. One, their core body temperature is high, and so you know, take that in mind when you're planning your exercise routine. [05:59] You might also take a look at some natural sleep aids. There, a variety of things out there that aren't drugs, including lemon balm, Melatonin. I cover all these in a sleep course so you can find that on my youtube channel. It's completely free. I have all my lectures up there from you to me in other places, totally free for you. If you have some, some issue with a sleep or you're interested in learning more about a particular natural product or herbal supplement or a machine, some technology, whether it's white noise or a specific pillow or mattress or whatever, you can find a lot of that information right there. While it's tempting to have a night cap to unwind, to reward yourself from the perils of a busy stressful day. The sad reality is that it messes up with rem sleep, rem sleep is the dream part of sleep, and it's really critical for the body to restore itself, and while having some alcohol on board may help a person fall asleep, it really interferes not only with a heart rate, uh, some toxic metabolites in the brain, uh, but also just really, really wrecks havoc with the rem sleep, a part of things. [07:05] So I hope you found that helpful. I just wanted to share some tips to help you sleep like a baby, so to speak, and I'm going to be experimenting with some new technology here, uh, in the next six weeks or so, and I'll be excited to share that in video format on my youtube channel and as always, be safe, be well, have a fantastic week. I will talk to you soon. Thank you so much for spending some time with me today. If you found value in this episode and the show, please share a review in itunes.

This is a guest interview with Katie Neubaum - motivational speaker, coach, and leader. We sat down a while back but the message is impactful and worth sharing again.

Transcript:

I have a guest on today that we are going to walk through motivation, positivity. We're going to cover a lot of ground with meditation, transforming from a career in a completely different direction. As I mention my focus and goal with rapping up 2014 and we head into 2015 is to share some stories of inspiration and motivation about people who have really reshaped their lives into something that they really desired and wanted, and how to get there, and some of the steps. And the fears, and the issues that pop up along the way. 1:08 Today's guest is Katie Neubaum; she is not only a motivational speaker, but also a coach for wellness and wealth creation. We get into the beginnings of her transformation, some of the fears, some of the issues that popped up, and in the end she shares her current direction of where she is at in creating the life that she's really desired and wanted to live and how she got there. You may or may not resonate with her business model but that's not the purpose of this episode. It's about the transformative journey in going from point A to point B, and some of the hurdles and the issues along the way. I think you will really resonate with her mission and her message of positivity. And so let's get into it. 1:45 Alright welcome to another episode of project you. As I mentioned before we are on a journey of transformation and transition, and I'm very happy to bring on Katie Neubaum here this morning to share her mission. Katie: Hi there I'm so glad to be here with you doctor. Yeah this is cool and so I wanted to wind down 2014 into 2015 with a sort of a transformation. I think a lot of people get stuck in the rut of what's worked in the past and sort of forget to push pass boundaries. If I could I'd just like to jump back into your past, and if you would share a little bit about from where you were as a piano teacher and kind of where you are now. And sort of that word; that journey. Katie: Absolutely. So about 2 years ago, well formally for about the past 5 years I've been teaching boys in piano lessons to a studio of about 25 students. And I was teaching in a couple of studios as well as in my home. I majored in music at the University of Miami and did my Masters studies at the University of South Carolina. So I thought that's what I wanted to do and as I had my young children. And it was going really well but I just didn't feel fulfilled, once I was in the small studio and I was no longer performing and I was having to leave my children and go to the studios. I just was looking for something else. So about two years ago I had gotten overweight and I was really tired all the time and definitely wasn't feeling comfortable in my skin. 3:13 So I had tried a bunch of fad diet and that's what led me to looking into this program that I found. And I went ahead and took another venture, was offered a hundred percent money back guarantee and just jumped in with two feet and said I'm going to do this. And I cleansed my body, went through this whole 30 day process and came out feeling amazing. I was able to release pounds and actually 26 pounds in one month, and started to feel great. And that's when my life kind of shifted into, oh my gosh this is amazing I got to share this with people. And it started right there with sharing good healthy nutrition with other folks, transitioning from by being so much a piano and voice teacher. I was actually able to retire myself in about 7 months of putting my nose to the grime of sharing this nutrition with others. Quadrupled my income, so that's what turned me into motivating and inspiring others to become their best selves and take care of their bodies and their minds. Mitchel: Was this like an overnight revolution or realization that I got small kids and what I’m doing right now isn't working, or was it more of a gradual transition? Katie: It was a gradual transition in that when I first got the products into my body I realized that I had something spectacular and something special, and something that was really helping me to feel better. I didn't realize right away the gift that I had and I would be able to set myself physically and financially free with these products, and I didn't realize how I would be able to quit my job and that was even something I wanted to do. So I would say it was more gradual. Mitchel: Sure And I would imagine that there was some anxieties; some fears, maybe some self-doubt along the way as you're transitioning from professional voice and music teacher into a different realm of life. 5:16 Katie: Yeah. I'm glad you asked me that question and asked it that way. Because I turned to personal growth, one of the things that my company is a bi advocate of is personal growth. We're taught that you can only grow your business to the extent that you grow yourself. And when I heard those words my dad was a ? teacher and he always promoted positive thinking and when i was in Ms University of Miami pageant I did my platform on positive thinking. So I've always been kind of wired that way, but I've never done meditation, and I've always been a praying woman but I didn't really know what meditation was. But as i started to meditate and really live out a ? and I made a vision board and I mad affirmations and had a gratitude journal. That's really when my business turned into a business, and when I saw the big picture that oh my God, I'm going to set myself free with this company. Mitchel: That's cool. You hit on a couple of things that i am really interested in both personally and professionally. You mentioned number 1 meditation and 2 gratitude journaling. If you could just shared a little bit about  how you meditate, and just tell us what a gratitude journal is for those who don't know; how it works. Katie: Okay, sure. So for meditation, because I was a new meditator I didn't know what to do so I looked on line and I found this fabulous guide; this guided meditation by Dr. Wayne Dyer. And one of the very first things that Wayne Dyer said that resonated with me was, when you change the way you look at things; the things you look at change. And so I thought, oh my gosh I've always thought that meditation was weird. So let us turn this around I'm going to think about meditation being the coolest thing ever. And what if its right, what if it can set me free in my mind. So I downloaded on my little app here meditations for manifestations, and its a 2o minutes morning meditation and 20 minutes evening meditation. The morning one is Ahh based on a creation Buddha, Allah, Krishna, God, everything that has the Ahh. So all of the Ahh and I'm a singer too. Michel: Yeah and you've got a nice voice, I won't tell and demonstrated, my kids have heard it. I meditate sometimes and our son and my kids walked by on their way to school and they look in there and just kind of shake their heads; they're use to it now. Katie: I know, well the whole meditation thing it was a little strange for me but once I realized, oh this is kind of singing and my whole body was vibrating and I was feeling all of this like, oh my gosh and I was going to the zone where all things did seem possible. I can create all of these things so I started writing things out as well. And then Wayne Dyer has think about the things that you want to create today, what do you want to manifest today. So as you are doing your ahh meditation you are imagining all these things, and then in the evening he recommends doing the umm meditation that is like the gratitude and the prayer for the day. So what I like to do before that is I that I have a gratitude journal and it is purple and sparkly because I have great joy, and I have so many things to be grateful for. And you know in gratitude, not only do you have a high vibration but people are attracted to you. You're filled with love and light, because where there is love and light and gratitude you cannot have fear, you cannot have frustration and anger. So I'll sit there with my attitude journal and just write out everything I'm grateful for' a minimum of ten things. When I'm not feeling so grateful because my three children have given me a hard time or its just been like I'm exhausted, i ll start reading all the pages before full of gratitude. And a few moments passed I'm in gratitude again. And then I lay down on my floor in my office, I decorated my office to be a very calming, soothing environment for myself, which is a good place to meditate. And I lie on the floor and I umm before I go into gratitude. And I really like to drift off to sleep after my umm meditation. I will o into my room to sleep but I love doing that before bed. 9:39Mitchel: Yeah that's awesome; I think a lot of people get rapped up into the, am I doing it right. And as Wayne teaches just how you are is how you are supposed to be; you are perfect as you are at the present moment. And so I saw a great quote this morning when I got up, "the struggle end when the gratitude begins". Katie: Yes I absolutely believe that. Mitchel: So do you think there is some science behind it, you said about the way you decorated your office. Do you think that the environment plays some role into whether you can get into the proper frame of mind or state of mind, particularly not only for meditation but also on the entrepreneurial side of things? Katie: Oh yes sir I believe that when you are organized and you clear your spaces and you rid your life of the people and the thing that no longer serve you, you then make space for the things that are supposed to come into your life. So the law, I'm big on the laws of the universe, the law that governs the act of..., if you clear the deck, if you clear a counter, you clear the table. What happens before you know it, whether you or your children, there is going to be other things gathering there. You'll clear your desk and other things gather there, when you clear your closet of the clothes that will never fit you, they are from the 1970's they are out of style, get rid of them. The shoes that are just torn up, throw them out and all of a sudden you'll notice new shoes coming into you life or new outfit coming into your life and I totally believe that 100% when we clear the clutter and the stinking thinking from our brains and our heart, and clear out the clutter from our homes and our offices, and our kids rooms and out draws, that the things that are serving us and are suppose to be there, they'll be there. And the people in our lives that 't aren't serving us that have a negative vibration, once we are able to get those people out of our lives we make room for all the wonderful people that we are suppose to attract and connect with to come into our organizations.

11:43 Mitchel: Yeah, definitely I love the stinking thinking thing because people fail to realize; and maybe they realize but just fail to realize the amount of negative facts that pop up in our heads everyday is just a torrent of negativity that brings a lot of people down. And unless you really tackle it head on or shift in another direction of gratitude and meditation, its easy to get rapped up into that negative self talk.

Katie: Oh yes and my favourite thing if I can add is three by five cards. I have them in my purse, I have them in my desk, I have them in my bathroom where my toothbrush is. I know this sounds a little crazy but once it gets worn out is that I use it so many times is I write it down, my positive affirmations and one of the things I was taught by one of my favourite mentors, Dave Macatha is that when you have a thought that keeps plaguing you, like let’s just say you criticize yourself and you say. I’m stupid or I’m slow or I’m tired all the time. We have to put a thought in there that combats that, every time it comes into your mind, and we all have the same ones usually that bother us and come after us. So right the negative one on one side and on the other side you are going to change the words and you are going to turn it around. So if I say to myself when I look in the mirror I’m not so pretty or I’m over weight on the other side I’m going to say I’m beautiful, I’m wonderful, I love myself I am beautiful. So I have these affirmations, well I’m really getting great at not criticizing myself and I’m mastering not having those negative thoughts any more. But my little 3 by 5 cards that I have everywhere are positive affirmations, and I don’t think that anyone can have enough positive affirmations, so I highly recommend the 3 by 5 cards everywhere.

13:36 Mitchel: Okay, cool I’ll put you on the spot. What’s one of your favourite most powerful affirmations?

Katie: I’d say I’m a master connecter. I attract many friends easily and frequently, I’ve vibrated a high level, I am a master closer, I am a great achiever, I am greatness, I am freedom, I am wonderful, it just goes on and on. You can say all kinds of things, until you believe them, you just keep on going, you can say all kinds of things about yourself,, but before you know it you are feeling pretty good. Your shoulder is up high, your head is up high, and you are feeling beautiful and strong. And that’s the way you have to be if you want to have a beautiful circle of friends that connections and have a perfect life.  You have to have those affirmations going on all day long.

14:50 Mtichel: Yeah, transforming your thoughts into reality is very powerful and very possible. When you ask people, what do you want, I think that most people automatic reaction is to tell you what they don’t want. And that’s what they focus on and that’s what they get going over. But until you shift your focus into what you actually want out of life and business or relationships or health, and replace those negative thoughts with positive affirmations, positive thinking; its really hard to get through until you do that simple step.

Katie: Right

Mitchel: You brought up clearing the clutter which I think is beautiful. But one of the tendencies that I think a lot of people have is consumers they clear out the space and clear out the closet which are looking a little bare and then rush out and fill it up with stuff. How do you resist that temptation?

Katie: Well I believe that you will attract the things, you will purchase the things, now if you have a shopping addiction and something like that, that’s a whole other chapter. You might have to get a specialist for that.

Mitchel: Yeah we are recording this a few days before Christmas so this might not be the best question.

Katie: Oh I have a solution for everyone; if you are out there and you are shopping, you are spending money that you don’t have, get busy and find someone to serve. When you are in service, you will not have a second or to do those things. Lets just say you drink too much, you eat too much, you spend too much money. Well in that case you are too self absorbed and you got to find other people to spend your money and your time and you efforts on. That’s really my answer to that question is lose yourself in service and find something productive to do. Stop wasting your time gorging yourself up with things and with people and the things that aren’t uplifting and serving you. Because we all get into those ruts, I’v e been there before, I’ve been that over-eater, that over spender. But now I’m so busy serving and coaching and mentoring. I don’t have time to spend money, I have to squeeze, I’ve actually have more money than I ever have in my entire life in my bank account. And I don’t say that to brag, I say that because when you are serving others, and you are lifting them up, it comes back to you ten fold. So the great sacrifices that you make in building your network and pouring that love and that energy into the people that are not necessarily beneath you, but your teammates that don’t quite have what you have yet. They need a mentor and that teaching, and also with your children and your husband and your friends. Everybody needs that service and that input, and you got that extra energy, and even if you don’t you won’t be filled. And in this holiday season where he was just mentioning here, if you are feeling empty and depressed, find yourself into service. Go find a soup kitchen or an orphanage or someone if you don’t have money, take your time and your stories, and your heart and you will be fulfilled. And all of a sudden you emptiness and that loneliness, and that depression that you are feeling right now will just vanish.

18:12 Mitchel: Yeah, absolutely. People just fail to realize that even their simple act of giving or helping can unearth so much positive emotion, accomplishment and a sense of self-worth. Even if it’s a simple helping someone across the streets or helping someone with a bag of groceries, or even more global like you mentioned. Helping an organization or a population that needs service, needs support and that’s very powerful. And so I’m looking at your LinkedIn profile here and I see motivational speaker and wellness coach, so take me through a transition of voice or music to motivational speaking. How did you get there, how did you acquire those skills, or was that something you kind of develop?

Katie: I would say it’s a combination of both. Now when you are music major you’re performing all the time so being on the stage was natural for me. And I always loved it from the time I was a little girl, if someone asked me to perform I would jump right up. And I was very blessed in my life that, I always when I audition for a scholarship or to go to a special; an international singing ? or even; I always got the scholarship. And I was always able to go and perform, so I was blessed in that. I have the gift of singing and voice and stage presence. So I was put on the stage throughout my entire life. And I’ve built a team, and like I said it came about me getting healthy first and then sharing that with a couple of people. That really have developed over this last two years. And teaching what I learned and what I felt with other people, and then realizing that, wow, people are finding great value in what I’m sharing. And I am able to put my words together, and I am a good speaker, and as I started to believe in myself, others believed in me. And I started getting little speaking engagements here and there, and no matter who was asking me, whether it was free or paid I said yes. I stepped up to the plate because I knew that by putting myself there and stating, yes I can speak to your organization about nutrition today. Now mind you I majored in music, I’m not a nutrionalist, I’m someone that learned how to eat and feed my body and become balanced and feel good. But I was also in the military so I do have that education and all that physical training of taking care of my own body. And by stepping up to the plate and just saying yes is how I have become the motivational speaker and coach that I am today. And how I’m able to say yes to engagements now where I am going to be paid and I am being endorsed by people that I never thought I would have endorsements from, so that’s how it really came about.

21:04 Mitchel: Was there any fear along the way, like when you are starting to yes to maybe a larger audience, or maybe audiences that you are not quite comfortable with than other audiences. Did you have some trepidations along the way?

Katie: Absolutely, my voice coaches always said, if you are not scared and you don’t have butterflies, then you are not working hard enough. So I think the butterflies are good, I am getting really good at turning fears into love, as I’m reading all of these great books and I am meditating and all of that. I’m absolutely ? and even getting on this interview today; I didn’t know what to expect but when people ask me I now take it as a compliment. And I said ok, this person wants to interview me, this persons wants me to speak as the audience gets bigger, I get a lot more nervous but I always say, if I forget what to say, I’ll just break out into an operative aura. I’ll just start singing.

Mitchel: These tools are in your bag there.

Katie: That’s right

Mitchel: I think its difficult for a lot of us to deal with, myself included is to lean into the fear or feel the fear into doing it any way. But really that’s the way to grow and stretch.

Katie: Oh yes and  it feels you, you let that fear feel you. Just, instead of thinking and perceiving it to be fear, think of it as a fire burning in your body and into your heart, and take that passion and deliver. Now when you take it out of your head into our heart, that’s when people really start to get you. And they can’t say no, they want more and more and more. Because when you are speaking  from your heart you know how it is and you know that I’m speaking from my heart right now because that’s how I do it, that’s what I’ve learned is to take my fears and just put it into my heart and just speak what’s in there.

22:56 Mitchel: Yeah, absolutely, I was at a presentation where a motivational speaker was talking about connecting with the audience and preparing and the fear that he still feels after he is addressing crowd of over 5000 people. And his message was just as you said, the love, the helping somebody, and he pick out somebody in a few rows, and just focus on one or two people and helped them in whatever way he could with the time he had. So that was kind of a neat little technique and a way to connect with your audience and moved passed the butterflies and fears that pop up right away.

Katie: Yeah that’s a great idea, I’ll have to use that.

Mitchel: You mentioned reading, what are you reading right now, what book are you reading?

Katie: Okay, so I have one here beside me. I have a couple of goodies that I love. I’m reading Don Miguel Ruelsies, A circle of fire. It’s about self-love that actually covers a lot: gratitude, fear ,love, forgiveness. It’s a beautiful book; I’m digging into working with the law by Raymond Allowell, I absolutely love that book. I’m reading Louise L A Harts A treasury of wisdom.

Mitchel: Is that a publisher ALs; the owner of ALs Publishing?

Katie: Not sure, she is a female, I don’t see ALs publishing on the book.

Mitchel: Okay.

Katie: She is Louise Haye and she is absolutely fabulous. But I’ll tell you what, every time I get a new member on my team, two books that I love for folks to download is feeling is the secret I never bothered. And it is a two hour download. Its about 3 bucks on Amazon and its fabulous. And the other one is called the strangest secret by Earl Nightingale.

Mitchel: I’ve seen some of his stuff and I haven’t listened to him but I’m a big audible fan so I guess I have to check him out.

Katie: Okay we can get that one on YouTube, it’s called the strangest secret you will love it.

Mitchel: Okay, awesome. You mentioned something about you team tell us a little bit about your team and your current wellness project what’s that all about.

25:17 Katie: Okay,so the name of my company is Isogenic, and I was introduced by my good friend Jeniffer Trickener. She just hit 8 star platinum in my company, be that so she’s making about $70,000 a month and she’s been in for 3 and 1/2 years. She introduced me and I took off with it like I said I was feeling amazing, starting to build a team. I now have about 2300 people in my down line. Now I didn’t enroll all these people, now if anyone understands network marketing you share with a couple of people and they share with a couple. So I’m currently a 2 star crysillic executive, I’m making between 10 and 12 thousand dollars a month, and that’s residual income. So that’s absolutely fabulous, and I’m just building and loving this company. And its based on solutions for folks. So You know no one wants to go on a diet, so it just have the word diet in it; I starve, I was always tired and grumpy. So when you join my team I teach you that you’re getting solutions to losing weight by helping your body to becomes balance in alkaline, increasing your energy and performance. I have a massive amounts of fitness models, body builders, just people that take care of their health through that serious level. Now I’m not a body builder in no way, shape or form, but my athletes have found amazing and tremendous increase in their energy and also taking titles. Once they do the cellular cleanse, they are able to stop carb depleting, they just do my 40s cellular cleanse and it brings out their muscle tone and its just amazing. And then again we have healthy aging products that have been scientifically proven to reverse ageing. And then of course wealth creation, which is my favourite knowing that I am on a great path. I am heading towards six figures which is why I am definitely ending out this year with a six figures, and this is just my second year with the company. So its super exciting, it is growing quickly, and I love mentoring and I love coaching, and I love team building. So this has just been such a blessing, this company is amazing.

27:36 Mitchel: Yeah, definitely. Now you bring up cleanse, the whole anti-ageing this is something I’m very passionate about as a physician; a functioning medical practitioner. I’m doing a modified fast right now. That’s if I can ? because… Can you just share a little about the cleanse, what that is? And some people might think that it involves enemas or self torture.

Katie: Absolutely doctor, do you know that today you are on a fast, and I am having cellular cleanse right now. So you and I are both cleansing, so we can compare notes. What I do on a cellular cleanse day, now today I'm doing a 24 hour cleanse, you could do up to 48 hours safely. But what you do is you drink this juice called biotic supreme, has a ? that fight physical, mental and emotional stress. So this is a drink for all people especially for mommies and athletes, and busy professionals. Because it adapts to your body ?. And you will be blown away by the ingredients in these products; they are just phenomenal. So you drink that in the morning, and then in a little while you'll drink this juice called cleanse for life. It loaded with botanical and minerals and wonderful ingredients. There is aloe in there and its just so soothing to the stomach, and its nice with a pout. Its not a strange or weird taste, and you also with this cleanse you get to eat organic chocolate. And there are used green tea, so it makes you feel good, it takes delicious; they come in dark chocolate and milk chocolate. And of course they are organic and everything in our... 29:11 Mitchel: Can I have some now, I'm starving. Katie: Sure if I can pass them through, I would love to send them to you. And then we have these amazing little fibre snacks that are called ice for snack, and they actually ? from glycerol fat. When we did these scientific study against other, like the hard healthy diet > that I'm sure you are familiar with, Isogenics blue it out of the water with breaking down glycerol fat by about 47%. You got to take a look at that but what it does is that, if you ever have; I don't know if you saw my after and before picture. But I was able to release 85 pounds in six months. And I know that if you see people in your practice lose weight quickly, you worry about hanging skin or are they going to feel well. But I felt fabulous, I actually trained with the man who train me; he was my drill sergeant when I was in the army. And I do as many pushups, I ran faster than I did 12 years ago and he was blown away. When he saw the transformation of my body, and how I did not have hanging skin; now I do workout, I've always worked out. I’ve always loved exercising, but you'll see if you ever looked at my before pictures that the transformation is phenomenal. So that's what you do, so the cleanse day you just eating those snacks, eating the chocolates, drinking those two different beverages, and of course flooding your body with purified water. And then at nights you take a isoflush and this helps to flush toxins through your colon as you're sleeping, and when you wake up you will eventually feel like you have super powers. More energy than you could ever imagine, you'll run faster and further than you ever have. Its like the energy is incredible, there is nothing like the cellular cleanse, absolutely nothing. 30:58 Mitchel: That's cool, now you mentioned purified water, when we say purified water, a lot of people think that means that little nestle that says pure water; you are talking about something different obviously. Katie: Well, I like to use alkaline water; I actually buy the eternal water from... I should, just go ahead and get one of the devices that makes your water alkaline. Isogenics does have a product that have a product that you can just pour into your water bottle and make the water alkaline; which also works. Or you can get a device for your sink that makes your water alkaline, that's the best water for your cleanse days or you can also purchase it. Mitchel: That's cool, yeah I drink a glass of Apple cider vinegar in the morning just for a little alkaline start of the day typically. And I see that ? on your instagram page or your twitter page, are you a ? racer? Katie: Right, I do run a couple of sporting races. My drill sergeant is a big huge school? racer. So of course he likes to get me on those; one race a month is what he like me to participate in. So I've done all kinds of things with him. Mitchel: That's awesome, Well I want to thank you for your time and I appreciate your wisdom and your positive message here to share with our audience today. I just wanted to ask you one last question before we rap this up here. If you could give one tip, one piece of motivational advice to somebody who is looking to transform their life from where they are now to where they want to be, what would you say? Katie: I would say Martin Luther King said, you only have to see the first step and take the first step. So people look at the staircase of healthy transformation and it overwhelms them, but take one step write down today, I am beautiful, I am taking steps in the right direction, I'm going to drink a gallon of water today. Take one step every single day towards good health. And stop thinking about the past, because the past is gone. But today, live in the present, make goals for tomorrow, write them down. Find someone to lock arms with, get with someone, an accountability partner that also wants to improve their health. This is a perfect time, everyone is thinking about that transformation. Something my team is doing for instance is we are doing a group 30 days cleansing fat burning system starting on January 5th. Find an organization like that; you are welcome to join us or find another one. Lock arms with other  people and take one step at a time, and in a forward direction. Mitchel: Definitely I love that. And so where can people find out more about you and what you're doing and can connect with you? Where are you at? Katie: I am on Facebook at katieneubaum, you can connect with me there on Face book. I have a lot of positive and motivating things going on there. And I also have my page find your greatness there as well. And there on Linkinden , same name, katieneubaum and I'm happy to connect with anyone of you there. And my website is katieneubaum.inagenix.com and you can look at my product line there, but I would love to connect with each and every one of you personally and hear your story and see if there is a way that I can help you. If there is anything I can do to help you or guide you or give you some ideas of get you on my 30 day cleanse and fat burn system, we would love to. We are giving away a thousand dollars grand prize just in 30 days so just for participating you have a chance to get that. And I have another contest where people just for participating in my other contest can get 200 dollars towards free products. So I have all kind of goodies and I'm happy on LinkedIn you can see my phone numbers there, my email is getrichandfitnow@gmail.com. And so I'm real easy to get in contact with, you can feel free to text me or call me, I'm always happy to be in service. Mitchel: Awesome, thanks so much Katie for your time and have a great weekend. Thank you sir, you too.

How to Gain Momentum for the Next Year

As we wrap up another year, I wanted to share a system I have been using for years to prepare for the upcoming year.

It involves celebration, reviewing painful moments, introspection, clarity, purpose, accountability and action steps.

Raw Machine Transcript:

[00:02] There is no such thing as work life balance, everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. That's a quote from Alain de Botton. Welcome to the recharge podcast. I'm your host. My name is Mitchell schwind. The mission of this podcast is to provide you the tools, tactics, strategies, and resources to recharge your life. The episodes are geared to make an impact on your life in 15 minutes or less, along with more indepth special episodes interviewing experts across numerous disciplines. This show will guide you through getting the most from your body and mind to generate the maximum performance you want in your life. Let's jump into today's. Okay. [00:35] Welcome [00:35] to another episode of the recharge podcast. I'm your host, Michelle. And what I'm sharing in this is how to gain momentum. I know it's early, just barely into the tail end of 2018, but I like to get clear and get prepared for 2019 and I want to share with you some thoughts and strategies and how you might utilize some tools and some tactics to really approach making 2017, the best year yet. The first thing I'd like to do is review 2018 or the previous year and look at not only what went well, what didn't go so well, what things did I, I want to say fail, but what areas did I fall short of and use those lessons as powerful tools and insights into the limiting beliefs and the mental loops that caused those issues and that causes me to come up short. I want to take lessons forward and learn from sometimes the pain, sometimes the disappointment, and use those as ways to reshape the mental framework of approaching problems in 2019 and solving the problems that I didn't solve this year. [01:41] Some of those are going to linger on and our ongoing battles. It's just part of the journey and that's a powerful tool. The next is to celebrate wins. It doesn't have to be something massive, are monumental. I like to celebrate the small wins. I keep a little book of, of, of, uh, awesomeness, if you will. Just little things that happen on a weekly basis that make me excited or proud or happy or how I've made an impact in someone else's life or my own life or how somebody impacted me and improve my life. I like to look back at those and at the end of the year I have a whole list of those that I can review and it just puts me back into state and brings back all those emotions of joy and happiness and gratitude and so I also look at what things happened that there's just no way I want those to fricking happen again in the following year and want to utilize tools and thought processes and systems to make sure that that doesn't happen again. [02:31] That I don't fall into those ruts, those traps, those mental loops that really tend to derail me in general, and I know we all have those. Nobody's immune from having these loops and mental traps. They're all there. Whether you realize them in your conscious mind or their lurking in the subconscious. If you doubt me, just ask somebody who's close to you and they'll be able to point out some patterns that they see on a consistent basis. The next step is to really get clear, to get absolute clarity and certainty about what I want and that a couple things. Number one is being very specific. I often hear people, whether it's patients or coaching clients, say, I want to lose some weight. Well, that's a very unspecific goal, or I want to make more money. Those things are just intangible and really difficult to approach when it's clear and measurable. [03:15] Say I want to lose five pounds by this date and here's why. It becomes very actionable, very tactical, very strategic in how to go about doing that. There's a difference between losing weight or say, I want to lose, you know, I want to lose like five or 10 pounds. Well, the difference between five pounds and 10 pounds can be dramatic. For example, right now I'm at the tail end of a five day fast. I went into it with some clear goals. I do this every quarter with my wife. I wanted to lose five pounds. I've exceeded that, aligned to maintain productivity, mental energy, wanting to work out, wanting to keep my business and my consulting clients going on track just as before I started the fast, despite some dips in energy and I was able to do that. But by having a clear idea, I want to lose. [04:00] For example, I want to lose three pounds by a January 15th and I'm gonna accomplish this by number one, not putting sugar or sweetener in my coffee. Number two, skipping the afternoon snack break at work, and number three, uh, getting a workout buddy and working out consistently at least three to five times a week where I sweat and get my heart rate up for at least 20 minutes. Very clear, easy to measure actionable. And there's an accountability component to it as well. So I think you can see what I'm getting at by really being concise about what you want rurally, help you plan out the steps and implement some strategies and tactics to get you the results and the outcome you're looking for. You need to get excited about it. And part of that is understanding your why. Why is it important to lose a few pounds, like three to five pounds? [04:45] Why is it important to make another $10,000 this year? Well, it could be something like you want to take a family trip to Greece next summer. You want to fit into your clothes better and you know, you'll feel better if you lose three pounds and you'll have more energy and be more motivated and more, more clear mentally because you're not pumping sugar into your body. And so getting some why behind your outcomes really helps motivate and drive you. It makes you excited about that. The anticipation of an outcome, a trip in event is often as pleasurable, if not more pleasurable than the actual event itself. Uh, I can speak from experience. It took my family to Italy last year and the whole planning process for a variety of reasons was very exciting. The kids were involved in it. They were online looking at things, they were talking about clothes and the food they eat. [05:31] And they were looking at the rental houses and they were very wrapped up in the whole process and involved and it really kind of created a buzz and an energy in our house, particularly as the date became closer and closer and it actually was a reality and so that really created some excitement, some focus. We had a certain outcome and by laying out this trip, well in advance of my wife and I knew what we needed to do financially to make that a reality. What sort of tactics and strategies can we implement to achieve that and what do we need to do in our own businesses because we both are entrepreneurs and run our own businesses. How do we keep those businesses alive and running when we're gone off the grid for two weeks and so all those things create a focus in and get us committed on those results and as you gain momentum from clarity, accountability, and understanding your why, you'll generate more and more momentum in another way to maintain that momentum as you push into these challenging areas and outcomes. [06:28] As you wrap up this year at push into the next year is to track it to keep a journal. I keep a written journal because I find that the written aspect of it as much more mentally stimulating than if I would just type it into a computer on some spreadsheet that I never see. Another little tip trick I use is I have my outcomes for the upcoming year on my home screen on my phone. So every time I pick up my phone I see that there is a background image there that really sparks my mind, my emotion, my gratitude, my happiness, and really gets me into state to help me realize the importance of why I want to achieve these 10 things. And you can have your own categories, but it might include, you know, your business, your bonds with your friends, your family, your relationship with your significant other, your health, uh, your, your spirit or creator or spirituality, whatever words you'd like to use. [07:17] There are a whole host of other things. Um, fun, adventure, travel. You can create your own category, but those pop up, every time I pick up my phone reminds me on a daily basis, multiple times over and over again why I'm doing what I'm doing, why I'm making some choices, some sacrifices, some decisions that aren't always fun, and I'm tracking all these in a journal, so I review these obviously every day when I look at my phone, but once a week I review them, see where I'm at, whether I'm on target or on track with the specific outcomes. I create checkpoints and milestones. You know it's tempting to aim for the moon and that's fine, but you know even though you fall short, you're still better than you were before, but I encourage you to create tangible, achievable, actionable, innovator, intermediary steps that can allow you to celebrate the small wins and allow you to see progress. [08:07] You want to lose five pounds while you lost one pound this week. Check positive, excellent, good job, and track your progress as you achieve your goals. That reinforces your why and that you are capable of achieving much more than you thought you were in our review. These every quarter and at the six month mark, and again, as I wrap up the year and I do this early, I do it right after the Thanksgiving holiday. The house is quiet, uh, before the buzz of the Christmas season and it gets me really focused and honed in. So that one, 2019, uh, comes into chime. I'm already onboard hitting the ground, running, ready to go. I know what I'm going to achieve this year. I know how I'm going to do it and I can clearly proceed with a course of action. So I hope you found that helpful and I want to share something else with you, uh, just as a special bonus for making it to the end of this. [08:59] If you head over to the blog@Mitchellmd.com, the only dad in there as the.com, there's something special there for you. If you drop your name into the list, uh, I'll be sending this out. Uh, right after the Thanksgiving season. It's completely free at some tools and resources that people have been using over the last several years. And in fact, were 14,000 people have used these tools to impact and change their lives. And my whole goal, one of my criteria for this year and moving forward, is to impact as many people as possible with the time I've got on this planet. So, uh, that's completely free. I'm not selling you anything, I'm just offering you something, uh, resources for you. So I hope you'll check it out. And as always, have a fantastic week. Be Safe, be well, talk to you soon.

Transcript (it's machine generated to take it easy on me):

[00:07] Welcome to another episode of the recharge podcast. I'm your host, Mitchell Schwindt. I'm curious if you speak this language or understand those who do. It's called the because I language perhaps you might understand its cousin, the Buckeye language, a little bit more fitting, a little bit more common. What I'm getting at really is the language of self sabotage. If you don't speak this language, I applaud you for your self mastery, but if you find yourself surrounded by those who speak these words, it's time to move on to your friends. Constantly use the because I the Buckeye, the should I phrases to sabotage your efforts to make suggestions on how they could improve their life, improve their health, shift their business, improve their relationships. Oh, but I could never. Or because I can't because x, Y, and Z. I mean, how often do we hear those phrases and it's really just a form of self sabotage. [00:58] Whether you're saying it yourself or someone who's close to you, maybe it's a student, an athlete, a colleague at work. It doesn't really matter. No, this. There are some effective strategies that you can implement to deal with the because I language and it's really with a goal of overcoming fear to help you get what you want from life or help your client or student get what they want out of particular situation. So I'm gonna. Give you three tips here. The first is the strategy of knowing your why, simply knowing why you do what you do and what's at stake will really shift the mindset. Be sure to dig several layers deep. For example, it's not losing seven pounds, his is not the why. It's much more complex than a number it might be to look good, to feel great, to improve blood pressure, blood sugar, to eat healthier, to avoid becoming diabetic or even just to set a good example for your kids. [01:51] Knowing the why really drive home the decision making and provide a higher level of motivation. Knowing what's at stake if you fail to achieve an outcome is critical. The next is to be flexible and really there is no success without failure. It's just part of the process and we've got to get out of the mindset that everything has to be a success. It just doesn't work that way. You know, and I know it, and it doesn't mean that you failed or that you're not cut out for something. It just really means that the universe is showing up to nudge you in a direction that's closer to the answer and the outcome that you're looking for and the final take home point and strategy here is to really visualize the outcome that you're after. So many people focus on what they don't want. It's like driving a race car. [02:36] You have to look where you're going. If you look at the wall, you're gonna crash into the wall. I just, it's just a known fact. The same as for life. Stop answering questions about what you want it by generating a list of all the things that you don't. I hear this constantly with my coaching clients and students. When we talk about a outcome or a goal, oftentimes we'll get three or four things that they don't want and they're focusing on that and they're pulling into their life, and so I just really encourage you to aim your attitude where you want to go. Take a look at some things in your life. Look at the last few days, even the last few hours. How often did you speak the [inaudible] language and made excuses for not getting what you want? It's time to shift your focus, change your language and let your soul speak it's truth. I'm telling you, the universe will conspire to help you if you found value here, please like, comment and share, and I look forward to talking with you in the next. [03:28] So have a fantastic week.

[00:02] There is no such thing as work life balance, everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. That's a quote from Alain de Botton. Welcome to the recharge podcast. I'm your host. My name is Mitchell schwind. The mission of this podcast is to provide you the tools, tactics, strategies, and resources to recharge your life.

This show will guide you through getting the most from your body and mind to generate the maximum performance you want in your life. Let's jump into today's episode. Thanks for stopping by. What I'm talking about in this episode is apropos for Movember or the men's health month where we kind of focus more on some specific issues including breast cancer, testicular cancer, and unfortunately suicide, but with that in mind, the concept of a mustache growth brings me to a topic that I want to dive into just briefly here, and that is hair loss. [00:55] Hair loss is a huge issue for men and women in general, but obviously the stigma, the social part of things for men off of looms large and many are desperate to try anything and end up throwing a lot of money away in the process. And so I want to back up a few steps into, try to dive a little bit deeper into some of the issues around what can cause potential hair loss for men in general and just kind of open up the mind to understand that there are other things out there that can be a factor and if they're not addressed there really a result in poor outcome from whatever you try, whether that's a Rogaine Minoxidil, finasteride or you're doing something topical or natural, like an anti aging hair shampoo that I can tell you more about if you're curious. But. So I'm just gonna walk you through the questions that I typically will ask my coaching clients in the men's health space in regards to the hair loss. [01:45] So the first one is how long have you been noticing hair loss? You know, if it's, if it's an acute thing, it could signify an illness or maybe there was an acute stressful events or something changed, a geographic move and there's something in the water are missing from the Diet. That's certainly possible. Family history is a huge part of it. The hereditary component of male pattern baldness obviously looms large and I think that, you know, knowing the family history can really help people be a little more proactive if they're trying to stave off some hair loss as opposed to trying to approach it after the horse is already out of the gate, so to speak. A diet is a huge factor and unfortunately the western society, many of the diets that people consume are highly inflammatory and missing out on a lot of micronutrients that can be essential for not only hair growth but also nail growth and so that's an important question to know about and we discussed that in more detail. [02:34] Next is medications, their variety of medications that can actually deplete micronutrients and can set up a person to have some issues with hair loss and disformed nails essentially. So next is vitamins and supplements, uh, there are some key ones that I generally suggest, but there are some ones that really have been shown to help improve not only hair growth but also a nailed strength and her fullness. So those are critical to know about as well. And then the common things that are very helpful to myself as a healthcare professional but also as a men's health coaches, you know, what kind of medical problems are we dealing with in the past? What sort of things are looming large on the presence scope, what about weight? Is weight been stable, has been any dramatic weight loss or weight gain because that certainly has factors. Um, bariatric surgery and gastric bypass surgery unfortunately is viewed by many as a, as a fix for obesity, but it has some drastic consequences in terms of nutritional deficiencies, which can also affect hair loss among other things. [03:35] And so it's a little bit more in depth topic than I can cover here in this short podcast. And the final question is any, um, things that are put on the hair, what's our products are used right now and sort of results have you gotten. And then the final thing is, um, what kind of water do you have? Do you have city water? Do you have well water, is it treated? Have you ever had it tested looking for things like heavy metals and other toxicities? So as you can see from what I've shared so far, there is a variety of things that are involved in healthy hair. And so I, I wanted us to bring that up because I have a lot of people that I talked to that are frustrated that they're spending, you know, 30, 40, $50 a month on a over the counter product and nothing's really happening or maybe it's just sort of static and stable and there are often other cues and clues to the equation that can potentially result in a better outcome. [04:30] And a few other topical products that I'm really passionate about. A little talk about later on where you can just message me. But anyways, I hope you have a fantastic November and will be ruling out some more focused issues again, on the men's health space this month. Be well. Talk to you soon.

[00:02] There is no such thing as work life balance, everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. That's a quote from Alain de Botton. Welcome to the recharge podcast. I'm your host. My name is Michel [inaudible]. The mission of this podcast is to provide you the tools, tactics, strategies, and resources to recharge your life. The episodes are geared to make an impact on your life in 15 minutes or less, along with more indepth special episodes interviewing experts across numerous disciplines. This show will guide you through getting the most from your body and mind to generate the maximum performance you want in your life. Let's jump into today's episode. [00:35] Things I really like to do is answer questions on quora and they're not all in medical topics that can range from triathlon endurance, training, cooking a sporting events. Um, the test taking, I have a variety of interests and I like to share in this video is about a question I received on Benadryl. And how does the Benadryl help a person's sleep? I teach a sleep's a course that helps people get better sleep in one week and a Benadryl, although it comes up a lot, it's not one of the typical things that is recommended for most people for sleep. And there's a couple reasons why the mechanism of Benadryl is it works as an antihistamine and it makes you drowsy and sedate. And one of the problems with that is that, uh, the half life is so variable, I can range from about two and a half hours to over nine hours per a healthy adult. [01:20] So it's really hard to predict and a lot of people report feeling groggy and sort of hung over after they try Benadryl. It's actually for that reason that it's on the, uh, the no fly list for the FAA. So pilots are generally not allowed to take benadryl and fly for that very reason. Safety concerns also for people that are elderly and I guess that's generally defined as 60 or older based on some of the prescribing data, although I tend to disagree with that age, um, markers so to speak. Uh, the half life can be quite variable. It even prolong and so it can cause some problems with excessive sedation, can cause some movement problems and puts a certain people at risk for falls and injuries. So definitely be wary, uh, with the use of Benadryl for primary use of sleep. Uh, it is possible to become toxic with Benadryl. [02:07] High doses can cause a variety of dangerous problems and just want to tick off some of the side effects of Benadryl including hallucinations, heart palpitations, dizziness. I'm flushed skin, dry mouth, tremors, seizures, vomiting, even though it can help some cases with motion sickness and nausea can cause anxiety and nervousness, abdominal pain, delirium, even reports of coma and death, all with just simple benadryl. So it's found in a variety of products just from playing Benadryl syrup tablets. Uh, the, the uh, drug name is diphenhydramine. It's found in tylenol pm and a variety of other over the counter sleep aids. So I hope you found that helpful. If you have specific questions, I'm happy to answer those. [02:48] Thank you so much for spending some time with me today. If you found value in this episode and the show, please share a review in itunes as it really helps the show get discovered.

[00:02] There is no such thing as work life balance, everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. That's a quote from Alain de Botton. Welcome to the recharge podcast. I'm your host. My name is Mitchell schwind. The mission of this podcast is to provide you the tools, tactics, strategies, and resources to recharge your life. The episodes are geared to make an impact on your life in 15 minutes or less, along with more indepth special episodes interviewing experts across numerous disciplines. This show will guide you through getting the most from your body and mind to generate the maximum performance you want in your life. Let's jump into today's. So what I want to talk about today are five health myths that are killing you. They're literally killing you and you need to know these things. They're very simple and straightforward. First off is your cholesterol is low and so everything is fine. [00:48] Is that true? No, it's not. Well thinking was that if your total cholesterol, your ldl and your hdl, we're pretty good balance there. That your risk of cardiac disease like heart attack and stroke and those bad things was a lot lower than it was would be otherwise, while we now know that that is not good enough. In fact, it's actually the size of these different cholesterol particles that makes the biggest difference. This is critical and so the old typical method of just measuring the numbers and reporting that to you as the patient doesn't suffice. You need to know the size and so the the tests that you need to ask your doctor about or the vertical auto profile or the LPP. Those are the two common tests that are used, but just basically ask them to measure the size of your cluster all and this will give you a really good indication on the actual risk coming from your cholesterol for heart disease and stroke can have patients that have normal cholesterol, normal ldl, and still have an increased risk of heart disease. And so this is critical to your longevity. [01:46] So your blood sugar's 95, you're not diabetic, right? Well, diabetes is exploding, unfortunately in the near future. The vast majority of all of us in the United States are going to be diabetic if we don't do something about it. And so knowing which tests are needed to accurately diagnose diabetes or prediabetes is critical, uh, blood sugar or fasting blood sugar is okay, but it's not good enough if you certainly have risk for it or a family history or you're obese, you're gaining weight, uh, ask for some further looking, some checking test to consider would be not only the fasting blood sugar, but also a glucose challenge to see what actually happens to your blood sugar when you ingest a food source. And the other critical thing to measure is actual insulin. Many patients become resistant to the effects of insulin and that's all part of becoming diabetic and contributes to obesity and weight gain. And it's sort of a vicious circle. The, a one C, what you've probably heard of is just a good measure of what the blood sugar has been doing for last several months. So helpful. [02:47] But in the end, you need to dig deeper to get to the heart of the issue. So your fatigue, [02:53] your labs are normal. Well, it's all in your head, right? You may have heard this before and I'm sure you probably have friends or family that have gone through this scenario before where they're just exhausted all the time and basic tests. Thyroid blood count look normal, so they're told that they're fine and it's just a probably a psychologic issue or lack of sleep. The critical piece here is to understand that normal does not equate to optimal what is reported as normal for the vast majority may not be normal for you. It's the difference between living and optimized life versus just trying to fit into the normal standards. [03:31] Replacing hormones is dangerous. Unfortunately, there was a lot of misinformation and misrepresentation regarding some of the use of hormones, particularly in women and now with the a litigious society and the lawyers involved the testosterone issue in men. The reality is that unbalanced hormones are dangerous. We know from the data that hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved in regards to women who were taken off estrogen supplementation. Realize that these studies that showed that hormones are dangerous. We're done with horse derived estrogen. The estrogen basically was produced from the urine of horses. The other issue is testosterone is preventative for heart disease and having low testosterone and ignoring. The issue is to miss out on an opportunity to improve health and longevity and prevent heart disease. Lastly, milk is good, right? It's good for your bones. I compete in a lot of endurance events and triathlons and to see it in all the journals, all the magazines. [04:30] There's a well known athletes drinking glass of chocolate milk. The idea is that your body needs calcium and yes, there's calcium in milk, but there are much better dietary sources. The other issue is that milk is packed full of hormones. Some studies show as many as 32 different hormones in milk. We are the only species. Keep us in mind. The only species on the planet that drinks the milk of another species. Milk causes allergies can cause leaky gut and inflammation and it actually depletes calcium. That may sound counter intuitive, but the issue is the dairy products, milk included, are acidic in. The body has to buffer that acid load and where does it draw the buffers from? The readily available source of calcium is bones, and so it actually leaches calcium from the bones, and so although you're taking milk to try and pump up your calcium to build strong bones, it actually has a opposite effect.

Transcript (machine generated/unedited)

[00:00] Welcome to the recharge podcast. This is October and breast cancer awareness month is upon us. I want to share a few statistics just to get things rolling and then I'm going to share a live interview with a patient. I recorded this a little bit ago and edited it out. It's an educational piece. Uh, the, the, uh, content, uh, don't be overwhelmed by the scientific part of it because we'll dive into the specifics of what it means for this particular patient. The takeaway point is that you really need to work hand in hand with your professional to address this issue. Sadly enough, one and eight women in the U s will develop some type of breast cancer over the course of their lifetime. The kicker here as this podcast is geared largely towards men, is that there are about 2,500 cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in men in 2018 alone. The risk remains about the same, about one percent or one in $1,000 for men having breast cancer. So I hope you find some value in this episode and as always a message if you have some concerns. And I hope you'll share it because undoubtedly this issue touches you or someone you know or love close friend or family member. [01:04] The title of this one hopefully grabbed your attention, Broccoli and breasts and obviously with breast cancer awareness month and wanted to shed some light on that issue. And, uh, this will be a little bit different episode. I actually have a live patient, um, someone to do the consult with, uh, regarding some breast cancer genetic risks. And so it's a, I'm trying to do my best to keep it a very limited or minimal in terms of the scientific terminology and jargon. I think you'll definitely get some value from it. But, uh, we just want to preface this that breast cancer not only affects women, but also men. There seems to be a rising percentage of men who are affected by breast cancer, somewhere between one and three percent depending on the, uh, the source of the data, but certainly is an issue that affects men as well. [01:50] And so the bottom line is that everybody, or a lot of people know about the breast cancer genes, Braca one and Braca two, that really comprises the minority of risk for breast cancer. Eighty percent comes from another set of genetic markers and these enzymes actually affect how a person processes estrogen estrogen, like many chemicals in the body can be converted into something beneficial or something detrimental. And if it's detrimental, we want to get rid of it. We want to pee it out or filter through the litter, liver or some other type of process to sort of clean it up and, um, minimize the risk of dangerous to the body. And so when a person has some abnormalities in terms of their machinery, their metabolic machinery, how their body processes things, that really can dramatically increase a risk of a condition. And for the purpose of today's podcast, talking about breast cancer. [02:42] And so, you know, depending on how many of these abnormalities show up for a given person or patient, the risks can really go, go up dramatically. And, uh, so in the example for today, this particular patient had five genes that had abnormalities and so her risk is substantially higher and there are specific things that can be done, terms of supplements, fish oil, dietary modifications, um, vitamin C, Glutathione, selenium, selenium, milk thistle, Indole, three carbinol. I've thrown a lot at you right now. I realize that we'll get into some more of that in the discussion in the recorded interview with one of my patients. So I hope you find some value in this. As always, you can reach out to me on twitter at Dr Mitchell and I love to answer your questions and if you're interested in obtaining a, some specific testing for yourself, I can kind of steer you in that direction as well. And so, um, sure to read the blog post that goes along with this, I give you some more information to some, some nuts and bolts that you really want to know in terms of breast cancer and trying to minimize risk. And so I hope you find this beneficial. And as always, I'd love to have a review on itunes from you. If you find some value in what I'm doing and sharing on the project you podcast and hope you have a fantastic week. So let's dive into the interview. [04:03] Thanks so much for uh, allowing me to record this. Um, we'll keep all your information confidential, but as you're well aware, it's breast cancer month and so just wanted to take a few minutes to go over your test. And the test is actually a test that measures how well your body metabolizes or processes estrogen, which is a huge impact in the risk of breast cancer. I think most women know about Braca one and two, which are sort of the genetic inherited breast cancers that everybody worries about from other family members, but that's really the minority of what, what comprises the risk of breast cancer. And so this test that you did, as you remember, was just a simple as swapping the cheek and it measured six different markers. Basically how well your body processes estrogen. I won't get into the specific genetic terms, but basically you can see from your test here, those are the six, six to eight that were measured in this particular test and so, um, the blue is normal, which means your body processes estrogen through that pathway normally and the pink are abnormal, which means that your body's enzymes may not be able to process certain components of estrogen into a, what we call favorable metabolite. [05:15] What that means is basically we can take part of estrogen and make it into something that is easy for your body to get rid of, whether you pee it out or detoxify it through the liver versus something that accumulates in the body and can potentially increase your risk for breast cancer. So that's sort of the test in a nutshell. I don't know if you have any, any specific questions about what you see on the report in front of you? [05:37] I guess, yeah, I do. I'm worried. I see that I have many variants detected and I just like to know if that means that I have breast cancer or, or I'm going to get breast cancer. [05:47] Sure. I mean, it's a, it's a, uh, a multifactoral questions. So let me get. The first thing is, are there other cancers in your family or do you have breast cancer in your family or other? [05:57] A breast and other. [05:59] Okay. And so, I mean, certainly there is a hereditary component of breast cancer. If you have a first degree relative that has breast cancer, that certainly increases the risk. And then there are certain syndromes where there are multiple cancers, for example, like a thyroid cancer combined with several other cancers in one person. So those are fortunately very rare. But to get to the, uh, answer your question is, um, just because you have these markers, that doesn't mean that you have breast cancer or that for sure you're going to get breast cancer. We know that, that, uh, people who have more abnormalities in their, their machinery, if you will, their metabolic machinery that their risk of breast cancer can go up significantly. And so the more abnormalities you have, a certainly a could increase your risk. But the real issue is just to kind of get the head of the, uh, the whole process is that the ability of, of things that you do to yourself and what you put into your body and really has a substantial impact on your risk. [06:57] And what I mean by that is just simple lifestyle things like what you eat, the kind of food you eat, whether you smoke or drink alcohol. I know it sounds like a simple approach to, uh, you know, potentially a fatal and devastating disease such as breast cancer, but it really kind of gets to the heart of the matter of what we call Epi genetics or another word that we throw around is nutrogenomix. And not to get all scientific, but really food is powerful in terms of using food as medicine. And so by changing what you put into your body, you really have the, the ability to impact these abnormalities in. So for example, you know, we, we sort of harp on our kids to eat green vegetables, but by consuming, for example, cruciferous vegetables, Broccoli as an example, you really have the power to sort of turn on and off some of these genetic abnormalities and so just by altering your diet based on specific abnormalities you see there, you really can can take a risk that might be as high as 13 fold and really scale that back down to something more along the lines of just a few percentage of increase risk so it doesn't wipe out the risk, but it certainly can help your body turn on and off some of these, these abnormalities or these abnormal pathways which can really improve your risk, decrease your risk, which is what it's called [08:15] about. As far as as diet goes. Is it, are there other lifestyle changes such as sleep or stress reduction or. [08:24] Yeah, absolutely. I mean straight sleep is critical. Sleep is sort of the starting block. Everybody wants to jump ahead to, you know, can I take a thyroid pill and tired or can I take a pill or a supplement or something to really fix everything, but if you're not sleeping properly, if your body's inflamed, your body can repair itself. And the, uh, effects of sleep deprivation are widespread and detrimental. It's not just fatigue, but also affects the way your body processes sugar and carbohydrates the way you're, you're a growth hormone is able to not repair the damage that occurs to your body throughout the day. And so sleep is sort of the cornerstone or the foundation of health that people often overlook. And then he kind of asked about specific, specific things. I mean, obviously not everybody loves Broccoli and there are some supplements, so there's one called dm or dim pro and it's got a long chemical name for it, but that's basically the active ingredient of Broccoli that you can take in a pill form, um, that sort of a, a proprietary name. [09:20] The other common name that you may have seen before, is it [inaudible] or Indole? Three carbinol. Most people just call it [inaudible]. That's just a simple supplement that you can take on a daily basis to really kind of shut off some of these abnormal pathways and to help your body process estrogen more effectively so that you can. You can turn an estrogen into something that's beneficial not to bore you with the chemistry of it, but when the estrogen passes through the body, it's shunted into different pathways, whether it's a a different chemical structure, there's a four, there's a 16 and I won't get into the specifics of the chemistry, but that really has a huge impact on whether or not this could be a potentially cancer causing substance or is it something that's beneficial and actually decreases your risk for cancer and also it also has an impact on your mental health in bone health as well. So I'm just a few simple changes in your diet can really have a dramatic impact on your longevity. Essentially. That's what this is all about, is avoiding cancer and in increasing your longevity. So I don't know if that makes sense or not. [10:25] Yeah, so basically this report is telling me that I have a higher risk factor for developing breast cancer, but there are things that I can do that can decrease my risk in my daily life as well. Well, [10:39] yeah, absolutely. I think that's sort of the key thing to know is is not that this test gives you a specific roadmap to avoid cancer, but it does point out some things that are problematic in your body. It's. It allows an individualized approach to your diet and your supplements to decrease your cancer risk and so by knowing that you can take steps to implement some of the changes, whether it's, you know, limiting your alcohol to no more than one drink a day. I'm really thinking hard about whether you're going to use a hormone supplementation or considering some people considering in vitro fertilization. The risk for that really dramatically increases in terms of breast cancer, particularly if you have some of these abnormalities where you get huge doses of a female hormones. The body doesn't process and properly and it's converted into the dangerous forms of estrogen which can dramatically increased risk of breast cancer. And other problems, so just knowing the information ahead of time really allows women to make some, some informed decisions about whether they're going to take birth control or if they're gonna use hormones with former hormones and uh, you know, certainly if there's family history of breast cancer, um, abnormal genetics certainly really want to consider and have an intelligent discussion with your fertility specialists, whether in vitro fertilization with the hormones is really the safest option for you. [11:58] I suppose that's something to consider too, when going through menopause and, and some, uh, hormone replacement during that time as well. [12:06] Absolutely. And do you know, depending on the training of the physician in classically trained physicians rely on Oral Estrogens, which has a functional physician, we know that that particularly is a, not the route to go. The topical estrogen is really the safest route in terms of trying to, a decreased risk of complications. Um, we know that oral estrogen can cause blood clots and increased heart disease and obviously very detrimental health effects. We haven't really found that with the topical estrogen. And the other side of the coin is it's always about balance. Estrogen and progesterone are the two primary female hormones and see a lot of women who don't sleep well at night, particularly when they get to the perimenopausal menopausal stage and oftentimes some supplementation with, with oral estrogen, sorry, oral progesterone, oral progesterone, which is safe, can really improve the quality of sleep. So a combination of some topical estrogen cream in oral estrogen is certainly an option to discuss with, uh, what's your personal physician regarding, you know, what's your desired effect is in terms of lifestyle. [13:11] And it also, again, the risk based on what we know about your genetics. So definitely important things to consider. And then the last point I wanted to bring up as we know that you have some abnormalities on your test here, and so what do you do next? And the next step would be to get the urine test, is to look at some of the metabolites of estrogen and see if you have abnormal amounts in these estrogens. It really needs to take the steps now to improve that if you ignore it in and just let the cumulative effects build up, at least in my opinion, the risk of breast cancer and other disasters outcomes certainly as a, as well stated in the literature. So I think just giving patients the information they need to really make some decisions about how they live, what they put in their body, and whether they're going to take supplements to really improve the metabolism and try to decrease some of the risks is, is just, you know, information is powerful. And uh, that was the purpose of this test for you. It's really kind of shed some light given your family history of breast cancer, a use of birth control pills in the past and uh, and some other factors. So, um, do you have any other questions about the report? [14:17] No, I think that pretty much goes over most of it. The questions that I didn't have. Thank you. [14:21] Yeah, and just the, I mean because the recommendation for you based on your report would be to either use dim or I C on a regular basis. Really take a hard look at very your vegetable cruciferous vegetable intake and the alcohol, a limitation you don't smoke, so that's a positive thing and there's some other supplements that, that, uh, we can talk about, uh, in the future that you might want to increase or may want to add to your diet and your regimen to really kind of improve sleep and other things that are, are critical. All right, you thank you so much for spending some time with me today. If you found value in this episode and the show, please share a review in itunes as it really helps the show get discovered. Please share your biggest takeaway, and as always, I want to help you answer the burning questions in your mind. So reach out to me. I mentioned Linda Dot com or on social media wherever you hang out. Make today incredible and I'll see you on the next episode of the recharge podcasts.
