After years of thinking that low energy, low libido, joint pain, and lackluster performance in the gym were just a part of the natural aging process, Adam didn’t realize that his hormone health was suboptimal and sabotaging his health and happiness. 

His personal experience offers a unique point of view to holistic health and mindset that we are going to unpack in today’s show. 

Through his work with Blokes Men’s Health and Joi Women’s Wellness, Adam is at the forefront of empowering individuals to take control of their health journey. He is passionate about helping others to understand the importance of hormone health and how it can impact every aspect of their lives. From energy levels to mood and performance, optimizing hormone balance can lead to profound transformations in overall well-being.

Here are some of the thing we talked about in today’s podcast: 

• Hormonal health is crucial for energy levels, mood, and overall well-being.

• Functional medicine takes a more comprehensive approach to hormone testing and treatment compared to traditional medicine.

• Nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle factors play a significant role in maintaining hormonal balance.

• Peptides like BPC 157 can be effective for joint pain and recovery. Peptide therapy can be an effective tool for joint recovery and repair, especially when combined with nutrition, cold exposure, contrast therapy, and sleep.

• Education and awareness are key in understanding the benefits of peptide therapy and overcoming the stigma associated with low testosterone in men.

• Understanding one's own body through diagnostic lab reports is essential for identifying deficiencies and taking targeted steps to improve hormonal health.

• Improving hormonal health can have a significant positive impact on energy levels, libido, and overall well-being, allowing individuals to show up as their best selves in relationships and other areas of life.
