Nobody should be “anti-supplement” or “anti-medication” or “anti-peptide”. It’s pharmacodynamics + pharmacokinetics for each compound. Discuss risks (including amount of research) and benefits for each patient without bias.

Podcast #893: Optimize Your Testosterone buff.ly/44J28C2 with @gilletthealth

Have you heard “X med is bad, Y med is good”? Medications and supplements are similar: one is prescribed and one is not. They both have pharmacodynamics. There is no supplement “good for everyone”. Both are just tools which are less “powerful” and less “healthy” than lifestyle.

Top questions to ask yourself (and discuss with doctor) when desiring a body change (examples: fat loss, muscle gain, or even wrinkle/hair loss prevention):
-is this for aesthetics, health, or both?
-what are some things I currently like about my body?
-what negatives may occur?

Great info. Interestingly, Setmelanotide (I call it Melanotan 4, cousin of Bremelanotide/melanotan 3) is FDA approved (2020) for weight management in leptin receptor deficiency (rare). All “Melanotans” target melanocortin receptors.

Microbiome begins at birth. C-section, soaps, antibiotics, no skin-to-skin -> suboptimal microbiome

The body has many ecological niches which “crosstalk”

Skin = Savannah/plains
Groin, armpits, etc = forest
Mouth/genitourinary/nose = swamp
Upper/lower Gut = caves

I’m often asked about the 6th pillar: Spiritual health.
It pertains to: “Am I at peace with why I exist and meaning in life?” Self-actualization is atop Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. For me, that meaning is through Jesus’ work on Easter.

My 3 imperatives to discuss with my doctor for optimal quality of life:
Hormone health
Mental health
Spiritual health
What are your three? Is it difficult to talk with your doctor about them? #mentalhealth #hormonehealth #healthspan
