Beyond Life Span: Dr. Frank Comstock on the Importance of Optimizing Health Span

Few physicians in the hormone optimization space have firsthand experience with treatment, and use what they learned from textbooks instead. How is this harmful to patients? Why is hormone optimization useless without lifestyle optimization? What makes treatment customization so necessary? On this episode, we are joined by a doctor who is dedicated to studying and answering these questions, Dr. Frank Comstock.

Lifestyle intervention can pay so many big dividends. People can start feeling better and get healthy. -Dr. Frank Comstock

 

Three Takeaways

• Your risk of health problems is going to be higher with deficient hormones.
• Treatment is not “one-size-fits-all”. It should always be customized to a person’s goals and biology.
• Call a pharmacy in your area and ask them about the physicians they utilize or recommend.

 

At the start of the show, we talked about how Dr. Frank got interested in hormone optimization for men and women, weight management, and nutritional supplementation. Next, we talked about realizing your options to get better and improve your life. We also talked about the importance of lifestyle optimization and why it’s necessary for the success of your hormone optimization.

We also discussed:

• Hormone optimization for women
• Why you have to change fundamental beliefs about yourself if you want to take your health seriously
• Why customization of program is necessary

 

If you’re not taking care of your health, no amount of success and wealth is going to matter. You must have the desire and motivation to make your life better. Don’t look for a quick-fix solution that skips exercise and nutrition. The truth is you’re never going to get optimal results from hormone programs if your diet is trash, you’re sedentary, stressed out and not sleeping. Things like exercise make an impact on your underlying health and response to therapy. They are critical and crucial to your wellbeing.
