The Power of Being the Scientist of Your Own Health w/Dr. Jim Meehan

Doctors are pushing prescriptions and creating a drug dependency crisis. What problems is this causing in our society and health? How does hormone imbalance disrupt health? Why is sleep so necessary? On this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jim Meehan who answers these questions and shares on building a firm foundation for your health.

A lot of the problems we have in society today are caused by chronic disease. - Dr. Jim Meehan

Three Takeaways

1. A lot of breast cancer is being stimulated by estrogen dominance with no opposing progesterone.
2. Metabolic disease and insulin resistance are inevitable if you don’t get enough sleep.
3. Antidepressants don’t help with neurotransmitter deficiencies, they create them.

At the start of the show, Dr. Jim shared the main objective of his work which is delivering uncomplicated medicine in a broken system. Next, he talked about how women’s HRT has been neglected, and how that can be fixed. We discussed the importance of getting enough sleep and how doctors are making people even sicker. Towards the end of the show, we talked about how the body can heal itself.

Dr. Jim also shared on - How society is pushing men to become emasculated - Why you can’t artificially increase neurotransmitters in the body - The importance of mindset

Optimization is the only way to save the decline we’re experiencing in society and health. It solves the issues caused by living in a blue light era, problems associated with food and SSRIs. Our goal as a society is to build a firm foundation for our health and it starts with how you think. Things like mindfulness, inflammation control, nutrition, detoxification, sleep, exercise and total hormone balance are incredibly important. Thanks to wearable technology, we can create a rich data set to help people become scientists of their own health. The body has an unlimited potential to heal itself, and this is what we have to lean on.
