Podcasts Quotables Hormones

~ Women are having higher testosterone levels on labs today and we’re seeing men with higher estrogen levels. This is a dramatic shift.

~ Men should test their Total Testosterone (listen to the podcast for the rest of tests)…We are seeing younger men in their 20’s and 30’s with total testosterone levels in the 200-300’s, and this has been linked to environmental toxins such as Glyphosate found in Roundup Pesticide.

~ We talk about self-care all the time for the women, but it’s so important for men too. The power of meditation and yoga, going for a walk, or swim in the ocean (downtime) can be very supportive in lowering stress, cortisol, and regulating testosterone levels.

Consuming organic dark chocolate derived from cacao is an amazing superfood loaded with antioxidants and other nutrients.  When you consume chocolate it releases serotonin and Phenylethylamine into your system which in turn produces an arousing effect. Some studies suggest that this effect it’s enhanced in women more than men– so indulge beautiful.

Blueberries in particular, prevent bloating and promote blood circulation two things you want to have control of during intimacy.
