The Factors Contributing to the Rise in Autoimmune Diseases

Testosterone levels have dropped by nearly 50% in America over the last two decades. If you’ve spent any time scrolling through health accounts on social media, you’ll see it plastered everywhere. 

“America’s Hormone Crisis is getting worse”. 

And, the sad thing is, it’s true. We are seeing a sharp decline in overall health, and as a byproduct, our hormone health is suffering. Obesity? On the rise. Chronic diseases? Up. Hypertension? Even more up. Our health as a country is facing some serious problems, but we have a path forward.

In our conversation with Dr. Jacey Folkers, we discussed how to take ownership of your life and your health. Dr. Jacey brings a holistic approach to health, which starts with blood panels, food sensitivities, and nutritional guidance. If further interventions are needed to improve quality of life through supplementation, peptides, or hormone replacement therapy, he and his team at Blokes consults with patients to make informed protocols to support their clients. We love Dr. Jacey’s approach to health and well-being, and can not emphasize enough the importance of getting blood work done as a preventative lifestyle measure. In this episode, we took a wide range of topics and brought them into the conversation of what’s currently happening with our health in the US and what you can do to make changes to avoid getting trapped in the cycle of ill health. Enjoy!
