“If it has a fragrance, it has estrogenic influences on your body.”

In this episode syndicated from Joy Kong’s podcast, I share the wisdom I’ve gained from decades of pursuing high performance and supreme physical health, discuss my preferred methods for testosterone optimization (what to do and what not to do), and talk about the current diet landscape and how we can all obtain a better understanding of what is most suitable for our own specific needs when it comes to building a healthy lifestyle and maintaining healthy hormone levels!



TIMESTAMPS:

When you get out of balance, it throws everything off and takes a lot of discipline to break free. [03:25]

As Brad puts forth his information in the health and fitness space, he knows it is not coming from a PhD researcher, but rather the things he has learned and experienced in his own athletic career. [05:52]

When you override the body's natural metabolic and hormonal functions with an outside agent, you are paying some kind of a price. [07:40]

Having a beer belly or spare tire is so commonplace, people assume it is normal. To do anything about changing, get healthy first. [20:00]

Our culture doesn’t have enough respect for sleep. [25:10]

Our mobile devices play a big part in our insufficient rests. [33:49]

How you acquire a spare tire, is mostly by eating processed food. Every restaurant uses seed oils. [36:44]

What are the oils that are actually good for you? [42:28]

Energy toxicity means you are consuming and storing too much energy and not burning enough. [50:06]

Your love relationship is making or breaking your hormone status for both males and females. [52:52]

Just moving every day is more important to your long-term health and longevity goals than adhering to a devoted fitness regimen. [01:08:51]

Micro workouts are the biggest breakthrough in the fitness industry in decades. [01:13:51]

Restrictive extreme diets or heavy-duty exercise programs are stressors requiring balance. [01:22:52]

Both males and females need to pay heed to their testosterone levels. [01:31:32]

Dad and grandpa had 40% higher levels of testosterone than the average guy now who's 26 or 36 or 46 or 56. The blame falls on the disruptive influences of the modern environment and the chemicals. [01:36:54]

Get away from plastics in your food and drink. Anything with fragrance causes a disruption to your body. [01:41:24]

There are different pathways to testosterone boosting. [01:53:26]
