Estrogeneration: Artificial Estrogens & Why They Are Dangerous w/ Dr. Anthony G. Jay
From BPA, to birth control and red food coloring, we’re being constantly assaulted by artificial estrogens— and the effects on our population are catastrophic. Why makes them such dangerous, silent poisons? What are some of the most common sources? How can we make things better? On this episode, I am joined by Anthony G Jay, the author of the amazing book, Estrogeneration. We discuss just how bad this issue is and share what we can all do to protect our health. America is not beyond fixing. We just have to make these chemicals illegal. -Dr. Anthony G. Jay Three Takeaways Male feminization is happening, but it’s so politically charged that doctors are scared to talk about it. Testosterone and estrogen go all the way into the DNA and act on it directly. This is why these hormones are so potent and have so many effects. The most common sources of artificial estrogens are parabens, phthalates, BPA, birth control, red food coloring, and atrazine. At the start of the show, Anthony shared his story and how he got into this study. Next, we talked about some of the studies that indicate just how bad things are and reveal some of the sources of these chemicals. We also talked about some of the measures we can put in place, such as water filters. We also discussed: Why you can’t have conventional beef anymore How veganism creates health problems What parents can do to help their kids People have no idea just how much of a crisis we’re facing and how many artificial estrogens we come into contact with daily. Estrogen is so potent, and it’s something we should be alarmed about because it has the ability to alter our DNA and stem cells. We can fight it through exercise and positive estrogen regulators like sulforaphanes. Ultimately, we must avoid ingesting anything containing artificial estrogen. If we can’t avoid it, we should balance it out with optimization. That is the only chance we have. Guest Bio- Dr. Anthony G. Jay is a scientist and DNA Consultant. He is the author of the spectacularly informative book: Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics are Making You Fat, Sick and Infertile.

How Quality Sleep and a Quality Bed Affect Weight, Mood, and Body Alignment w/Samuel Smith
A chronic lack of sleep leads to many biological system breakdowns and difficulties, but so few people prioritize getting a good night’s sleep. What role does our mattress play in the quality of sleep we get? What other factors affect our sleep? How can we avoid shortening the life span of our mattresses? On this episode, mattress and sleep expert Samuel Smith joins me to talk about the importance of paying attention to sleep, and why we need to be mindful of the quality of bed we sleep in. When your body isn’t getting enough sleep, it’s going to make up for the lack of sleep in other ways. The simplest way to do it is to store calories. -Samuel Smith Three Takeaways Our quality of sleep is affected by several factors including heat, pressure, movement, and pinch points. Light and sound are the two biggest ones. The light from your electronic device tells your brain the sun’s up, but we’re not designed to be nocturnal. When we’re sleeping, we want to be in a straight line. Over time, beds start to dip in the center which puts pressure on our spines. The world is starting to wake up to the importance of sleep and how much it impacts the functionality of so many of our biological processes. Sleep affects our moods, the work we do, and even our body’s ability to lose weight. We spend 1/3 of our lives on our mattresses, so it’s insanely important to find one that gives us quality sleep. When we prioritize getting 8 hours of quality sleep everyday, we’ll see benefits in every area of our lives.

The TOT Doctors Roundtable: The Truth On Toxic Masculinity, Epigenetics & Men's Health
The mainstream media has a lid on this subject of therapeutic testosterone and how great it is. What are the factors causing this ignorance and demonization of TOT? How has the era of toxic masculinity impacted this? What is causing the epigenetic shifts we’re seeing? And the biggest question of all - is it being done on purpose? On this episode, I talk to Dr. Jim Meehan, Dr. John Crisler and Dr. Merrill Matschke about these very important and very urgent issues in our society. We’re going to a cliff and our hope is those of us who have elevated ourselves to understand what’s really happening at a biological level. Without that, we’re going to get left behind. -Dr. Merrill Matschke Three Takeaways The reasons for the demonization of testosterone range from fear and stupidity to corporate greed and biased studies. Mainstream media is on a warpath against masculinity and it has permeated all the literature, putting testosterone in a bad light. Men with low sperm count have a high incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease, so paying attention to testosterone is critical. The toxicity of our environment and food supply is making women and men more similar biologically and reproductively. At the start of the show, I shared on my experience trying to talk to the mainstream media about testosterone optimization, and what it tells us about how people view TOT. Next, we talked about some of the key causes for this view, ranging from fear to lack of assimilation of new knowledge. We also discussed the importance of thinking differently and knowing what’s going on. We also discussed: How the reproductive differences between men and women are decreasing How the snacks we’re giving to our kids are loading their bodies with toxins Why we shouldn’t listen to experts telling us not to panic The so-called experts are grossly underestimating and downplaying just how dire things are right now. The people who are asking whether the drop in testosterone and sperm count spells extinction for us are asking the right questions. Even if we have ways of solving issues like infertility, we can never forget that testosterone is also measure of men’s health and that’s why we have to keep an eye on it. Ultimately, if we don’t get a handle on this and start recognizing where the toxins are and start eliminating from our environment and food supply, this spells disaster for all of us.

Metabolic Blowtorch Diet: The Benefits of Fasting for Longer Periods w/Daniel Kelly
There is a lot of confusion about fasting. Most of the "gurus" are talking about windows of fasting that are between 12 and 16 hours, but these windows are ineffective. Why don’t we get anything out of fasting for that long? Why is it so important to eat on our training days? Why does the real magic happen after the 20th+ hour of fasting? On this episode, Daniel Kelly and I dispel some of the biggest myths about intermittent fasting, and share how the Metabolic Blowtorch Diet teaches a more effective fasting method. If you can fast for 30 hours, 3-4 days a week over a 2-4 week period, you will drastically change your body composition, and you won’t lose muscle. -Jay Campbell Takeaways from this Episode Eat on your training days. You want to put as much energy and effort into training as possible so your fasting can work well. For max fat loss, you want to add a second cardio session at the peak point of your fast. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) the one of the biggest benefits of fasting. It only comes out about 17+ hours into a fast, so you have to learn to fast longer to maximize your output of BDNF. The stubborn areas in our bodies that don’t lose fat easily don’t get really good blood flow. At 17-20 hours you start to release catecholamines, which increase blood flow to resistant areas and mobilizes fat. If you don’t get enough calories in at the end of your fast, take a multi-spectrum protein shake and MCT oil, or eat a protein rich source that has a good blend of essential fatty acids and green beans. The current messaging around intermittent fasting is actually making people miss out on a great opportunity to dramatically lose fat. Instead of fasting for 12-16 hours where we get minimal benefits, we need to learn to go over 20 hours. In that zone, our bodies become fat burning furnaces, allowing us to get shredded and lean. We can't make the mistake of focusing on our numbers, when we should remember that our bodies are about the big picture—especially when we’re trying to drop body fat. So much happens biochemically in the brain during long fasts, and this can also be truly life-changing. In order to see these profound benefits, you've really got to use a longer duration when fasting.

The TOT Doctors Roundtable: The Real Reason Testosterone is Demonized
Behind Big Pharma not making any money from testosterone is an even more sinister reason for the demonization of testosterone. What do the “powers that be” get from keeping us docile and unhealthy? What downstream effects of birth control and environmental toxins are we seeing today? What is the weapon of mass control nowadays? On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jim Meehan, Dr. Rob Kominiarek and Dr. Crisler to answer these questions. Let’s build an army of men that are a threat to these institutionalized elitists who are out to weaken us and turn us into addicted consumers. -Dr. Jim Meehan Three Takeaways The system is out to make money out of us and the less optimized and healthy we are, the more money they can drain out of us. Our lives were perfectly crafted for medical expense. Our only response is optimization and staying out of the sick care model. One generation’s exposure to environmental toxins can change 5 generations of children. At the start of the show, we talked about a recent article that tries to demonize testosterone, and we discussed why such articles and the continued wrong views of TOT prevail. Next, we talked about why optimized men are such a threat to the system, and why it’s so important to stay out of the sick care model. We also discussed: Why death rates are so high for people in their 70s 2nd and 3rd generation effects of birth control are here now The business model of Big Pharma People are being controlled through consumerism now, and the institutions in power will do anything they can to keep us dependent on drugs, unhealthy, fat and entrenched in the sick care system. Not only is testosterone an inexpensive treatment for a litany of problems, it is the first line of defense against being turned into addicted consumers. The business model of these institutions is very simple. Harm kill, destroy, change the population, diminish humanity and profit from it. When we’re optimized, we can tear down the broken structures being used to manipulate a large portion of the population.

Healing the Divine Masculine & Freeing the Body, Mind & Soul w/Dr. David Kamnitzer
Our culture does not acknowledge the importance of the mind, body, and soul connection. Why is this causing a lot of harm to our society? How do we start to heal the masculine and bring it in alignment with the universe? When it feels like your mind, soul and body are in disconnect, how do you find that missing link? On this episode I am joined by physician and podcaster Dr. David Kamnitzer, to have a high-conscious conversation about shifting our paradigm and being our best selves. The soul and mind affect the body, and the condition of the body affects the mind and the soul. -Dr. David Kamnitzer Takeaways from this Episode A doctor who is open-minded and consciously aware wants an informed patient. They want a patient who has done their own homework. When you’re dealing with hormones, you’re dealing with a deep level of that person’s whole incarnational expression, and you must have a multi-dimensional sensitivity. A lot of people still believe that testosterone is steroids, and therefore a bad thing. Our bodies are the vehicles for experience and self-expression, and if at any moment we feel like we’re not our best, this also affects our minds and souls, as well as the results we get in our lives. When these things are in alignment, we don’t have to just accept it and believe in a reality we don’t like. We can become empowered and informed and take our health into our own hands. There are powers that want to see men completely disempowered but we can fight back through optimization. Sometimes becoming aligned means optimizing our hormones, and this is a positive thing not a negative. Once we’re healed, we can become the very best physically, emotionally and mentally.

The 3 Pillar Approach: How to Attain Peak Human Performance w/Dr. Carlos Rivas
Humanity has been chasing peak performance and consciousness since history was first recorded. What are the three approaches we can take to achieve peak performance? What are the top-down and bottom-up approaches to optimization? What allows us to tap into enlightenment? On this episode, Dr. Carlos Rivas talks about his work, and how we reach the pinnacle of the human experience. You start to realize that as soon as you change your physical state, your consciousness shifts and that will shift your biochemistry. -Dr. Carlos Rivas Takeaways from this Episode Health optimization medicine (the biochemical approach), flow state optimization (elevating consciousness to enhance your wellness) and finding purpose and meaning in life are the 3 components that drive your optimized self to your peak performance. Illness medicine is broken if left alone as it is. There is a lot more to health and medicine than represented in the sick care model, and people will continue to suffer if they don't recognize this. The spiritual enlightenment component makes itself more readily available when you’re optimized. The three pillar approach is about intervening with a patient’s biochemistry as bio-harmoniously as possible to make that intervention helpful, not harmful. Ultimately this is about one goal: reaching the pinnacle of the human experience and identity, which is peak performance and consciousness. Optimization is essential for us physically, but it's also about finding your purpose in life and redirecting your optimized self in that direction. It's up to us to make the most of what we've been given.

The Real Reason Behind the Demonization of Anabolic Steroids w/Rick Collins
Since 1990, anabolic steroids have been classified as a controlled substance even though there’s a lot of data showing that they are actually beneficial. What drove lawmakers to clamp down on steroids? What problems have been created by the prohibitionist approach taken by the government? Why is therapeutic testosterone demonized by the media? On this episode, the foremost legal authority in the area of dietary supplements, fitness law and anabolic steroids, Rick Collins, joins me to discuss the truth behind the so-called risks of testosterone. When you take a prohibitionist policy to a behavior, if there’s still going to be demand for that, there’ll be an alternative supply. -Rick Collins Three Takeaways Calling it the Anabolic Steroid Control Act ironically took away the government’s control over the quality of the products. Now we have non-FDA produced substances, and use has been driven underground and away from doctors-- which is dangerous. There is a belief that using an anabolic steroid, or even testosterone, is cheating and an integrity issue with athletes. However, the people using these substances the most aren’t even professional athletes. When people are confronted with facts that challenge a core belief they are invested in, they often double-down on the false information rather than adopt the new information. Unfortunately, the people who don’t believe in the abilities of testosterone are the same researchers and gatekeepers who are keeping it away from the people who need it. At the start of the show, Rick shared on the shift that took place when steroids became a controlled substance. Then we talked about the true reason behind the classification of steroids as a controlled substance. We discussed how the demonization of substances has contributed to sick care, lack of optimization and obesity culture. Towards the end, we talked about recent findings regarding the use of testosterone for diabetic people. It’s hard to imagine any other beneficial substance that has been as demonized and thrown under the bus like anabolic steroids. In the last 20 years, the research data supporting the therapeutic uses of testosterone for many things is monumental. We’ve clearly seen how powerful and transformative testosterone can be as a life molecule in changing the biological processes that are broken down due to the various diseases of aging. The problem is the legislature, along with the media and opportunistic lawyers. This needs to change.

How to Build an Elite-Level Physique w/Daniel Kelly
There is no shortcut to the perfect physique, you have to be willing to put in the work. What type of mindset is required to build a great body? Why are shortcuts like steroids so dangerous? Why is the millennial mindset so counterproductive to growth? On this episode, Daniel Kelly and I talk with Dominic who shares on his journey with testosterone, and we talk about the long-term strategy for building a great body. Muscle is the greatest deterrent to aging because it’s the biggest resistor of disease. -Jay Campbell Three Takeaways It's not about weight-- it's about composition. When you have more muscle than fat, you are more resistant to aging. You want to find a workout program that hits all the energy systems, minimizes your time in the gym, and avoids injury. If you want to build an amazing physique, understand that it’s going to take time. At the start of the show, we talked about what it takes to build a great physique. Next, we talked about why building muscle is is important, and how to train in the long-term. We talked about why instant gratification doesn’t work when it comes to health and fitness, and we also discussed the millennial mindset. Training is all about time. Are you willing to invest 45-60 minutes per session, 3-5 days a week? This isn’t just about the short-term. If you want an elite level body, you have to commit to working at it consistently over your lifetime. This is how you build a physique that’s resistant to disease and aging, and the kind of body that allows you perform and show up in your life-- whatever your goals are.

The TOT Doctors Roundtable: The Value of Forums & Causes of the Massive Decline in Fertility
From fertility rates and metabolic health, to pornography and blue light addiction, society’s health is at a crisis level in many ways. What is causing some of these issues, and how can we as parents help our children avoid these things? Where do forums fit into educating the public about optimization? On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Rob Kominiarek, Dr. Jim Meehan, Dr. John Crisler, Dr. Merrill Matschke, and Dr. Keith Nichols to discuss these and other topics. The blinders of traditional medicine do not come down until someone has really pulled on them hard for a long time. -Dr. Merrill Matschke Three Takeaways Forums are both good and bad. They are doing a lot better than the broken medical system to educate people, but they are also where a lot of incorrect ideas and damaging beliefs are spread. One of the biggest things about being a good doctor and scientist is not thinking you’re the “be-all, end-all” of medicine, and accepting that the data is always changing. Our youth becoming addicted to pornography and video games is massively changing how we naturally interact and impacts sexual health and intimacy. At the start of the show, we talked about whether forums really serve a purpose. Next, we talked about the importance of humility in physicians. We also discussed the crisis in fertility, as well as pornography and blue light addiction and their implications on health. We also discussed: Why forums are double-edged swords The use of peptides Why it’s so important for medical professionals to be thorough We’re facing a huge battle to solve the fertility issues we’re seeing, as well as the many other health issues that are rife in our society. What doctors have to do is remain men and women of science, be willing to constantly learn new things, and put the health and wellbeing of our patients first.
