Which is the best weight loss drug? What are the risks?

Monday, July 1, 2024 • Duration 29:06

We are witnessing the era of drug therapy for weight loss treatment. In reality pharmacology has been available for over 50 years. There has been a reluctance on the part of doctors to use drug therapy, and a bias within the society at large. This episode expands your knowledge about possible drug treatment options. It also reflects upon the long-term risks of drug treatment, and how to manage pharmacology when target weight has been achieved.

The brain defends its weight. Regaining is almost inevitable. Knowing which drugs to use, when to use them, and how to combine them is critical for long-term success

Four potentially harmful screening tests to avoid

Saturday, June 22, 2024 • Duration 28:37

Medical screening seems like a good idea. Doesn't it make sense to look for something when you feel healthy so that a bad outcome can be prevented? Doesn't it make sense to try to find something early before can harm you? This intuitive wisdom gets applied to many tests in the medical world. It just doesn't hold up. The combination of fear, and blind faith in modern medicine have driven many of us to get testing done that can harm us and has not shown to have significant value to prevent anything bad from happening. Find out which four of these common tests I recommend you reconsider, or entirely avoid.

What is the best way to take hormones? Injection, cream, pellets or capsules?

Tuesday, June 11, 2024 • Duration 27:19

When it comes to administering hormone therapy you have several options. Hormones can be injected, taken by mouth, applied as topical creams, or implanted as pellets. What are the pros and cons of each approach? There are some providers who falsely claim that one method is intrinsically superior, or that some of the methods have disproportionate risk. Such claims are all false. With regard to risk all forms of hormone administration are the same. That is to say, they all have extraordinarily low risk. When it comes to clinical effects, what matters the most is the positive impact they will have on your vitality. Although you cannot re-create the natural pattern of hormone release, you can address the symptoms of hormonal depletion. The approach you pick will be based largely on your personal preference. This podcast will help you separate unsubstantiated opinions, from the current facts regarding methods of application.

Is medicine today like the catholic church in 1633?

Tuesday, June 4, 2024 • Duration 29:03

In medicine developing a "consensus" is nothing more than a majority agreeing with the same approach. Consensus, even in the absence of strong evidence, can turn into a dogma that defies modification by reason. In this episode we reflect on some of the dogmas, and how they can affect your healthcare freedom and your opportunity for truly honest informed consent. Fear of hormones, belief in the virtue of mammograms, the overuse of imaging studies all have elements of dogma that propel their use far beyond what reason would otherwise indicate. If you're prepared, you have a better chance to direct your own healthcare and defy the coercion of dogma.

Is it time for a new general in the "War" on cancer?

Tuesday, May 28, 2024 • Duration 29:04

In his State of the Union address in 1971, Richard Nixon made a special request for an extra $100 million to find a cure for cancer. Here we are over 50 years later and cancer has become if anything more of a problem than ever. 50 years, billions of dollars, cancer rates extending to more younger people, breast cancer at epidemic levels, what went wrong?

Cancer is a cellular disease. Waiting for tumors to emerge, and then attempting to kill them, is not the best approach. What can be done instead? A different approach is needed. Archaeological evidence supports the likelihood that cancer was a rare disease before the industrial age. In many ways it seems we brought this disease upon ourselves. It's time to reframe the challenge. This podcast gives examples of an alternative approach that offers the opportunity for better, healthier living with less cancer.

Sex Drive; what is normal?

Monday, May 20, 2024 • Duration 29:01

Libido, sex drive, desire, without it our species would become extinct. For such a critical part of human existence it remains shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding.

What are the ingredients that make up a healthy sex drive? What is the range of normal with regard to sexual desire and sexual activity? What are the important elements necessary to keep our sexual vitality throughout the span of our life? How often do healthy couples have sex? What is the normal frequency of achieving climax when having sex? These and other questions will be addressed.

That we have a sexual desire makes us innately human. What we do with that desire is our choice to make. In this episode I share with you my decades of clinical experience and research regarding the range of sexual desire and sexual behavior from puberty through the entire lifespan.

Ozzy Osbourne gets stem cells.

Monday, May 13, 2024 • Duration 29:22

Ozzy is getting stem cells for his Parkinson's disease. Like many other chronic degenerative conditions there is no cure for Parkinson's. The same could be said for arthritis, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, in fact the aging process itself! In the face of inevitable decay, stem cells offer hope. Studies have demonstrated stem cells to be very safe. Their biological purpose is indisputable, they are attracted to and repair damaged cells. Early studies have pointed toward benefit in a wide array of conditions including liver disease, lung disease, arthritis, autoimmune illnesses, and aging frailty itself.

The availability of stem cells has expanded beyond the realm of celebrities and the wealthy. This episode will give you a base of knowledge that can be utilized as you reflect upon ways to address your own health, and your own antiaging lifestyle. Stem cells are not just for the rich and famous, they are now for everyday people. The critical component is an honest and thorough consultative reflection before embarking on a treatment pathway.

The best way to rejuvenate joints and soft tissue

Monday, May 6, 2024 • Duration 26:57

Conventional medicine treats joint and tendon injuries by blocking pain, and using drugs that accelerate decay even if they provide temporary comfort. Over the past 10 years there has been an explosion in our understanding about how to regenerate joints, regrow cartilage, make tendons and ligaments more elastic and pliable, in essence regenerate our musculoskeletal system without drugs or surgery. The problem is that conventional medicine is stuck in the insurance reimbursement pattern. They do what they get paid for. If you want real regenerative health for your joints you will need to find it from an antiaging specialist.

But what to choose? There is so much out there and it all sounds wonderful. This podcast covers the main regenerative treatments currently available including shockwave therapy, ozone, PRP, and stem cells.

You will come away with a new appreciation of what to avoid, and with the new sense of hopefulness about your musculoskeletal system serving you well throughout the span of your wonderful, long life!

Rejuvenating with Ozone

Monday, April 29, 2024 • Duration 28:39

If a substance is a part of nature then it is very unlikely to become a part of mainstream medicine. If it can't be patented, if it can't be turned into a highly profitable product, then it's not going to see the light of day. Such is the fate of ozone! Remarkably healing, incredibly safe, capable of killing bacteria, fungi, viruses and mold, regenerative to joints and stimulating to cellular energy, there's much to love about ozone. Medical grade ozone gas is an important part of antiaging medicine. We use it to rejuvenate joints. Intravenous ozone can stimulate the immune system and support tissue oxygenation. Gently applied Rectal ozone can support patients fighting Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis and other chronic inflammatory bowel conditions. Ozone helps the body to heal itself and can spare you the trauma of surgery, or the toxicity of drugs.

The "no biopsy" way to address prostate "cancer"

Saturday, March 30, 2024 • Duration 28:55

For 70 years we have been taking prostate glands out of men in an attempt to "cure" prostate cancer. For about the same length of time we have been sticking needles in prostate glands in a scavenger hunt looking for cancer cells. These approaches seem logical and have become the standard of care. But there is a problem, the current approach to diagnosing and treating prostate cancer has not been demonstrated to actually cure cancer, or even help men live longer. On the other hand biopsies, surgery and radiation cause harm. How did we get stuck in this place, and is there anything we can do about it?

Intellectual Medicine proposes an alternative approach to evaluating and managing suspected prostate cancer that does not involve sticking needles in the prostate, surgery or radiation. For some men this approach will offer them a welcomed option.

Above all else ask questions, gather information, then reflect upon how you want to manage your health. This podcast will help to give you a unique perspective worthy of considering
