  • I hit menopause right on Canadian female average, right at 52. – 3:31
  • After multiple “failures,” doing the correct things from wise guidance and doing them to the letter and having them not yield a result, in terms of weight loss, fat loss, inches loss, I got discouraged.  – 6:22
  • Dutch test, which is one of the many ways you can look at your sex hormones and some other things, your DHEA is at the very low end of the range.  – 10:33
  • The energy is lacking. It’s like the gas tank is low, although the mental emotional focus is really strong, and the attitude is strong. The body’s not supporting it.  – 15:24
  • There’s blood sugar issues, et cetera. But it is something that helps both. It’s an adaptogenic herb when taken in the morning.  – 19:27
  • Turns out acidity gives you energy as well. And alkalinity gives you endurance. So, you want a spike in acid.  – 26:02
  • It’s because we’ve got soybean and corn and omega-6 oils and corn syrup and pollutants and glyphosate, all kinds of bad stuff. So, you don’t want to be average. Average sucks.  – 28:46
  • But if there’s no electricity flowing, you can’t do it. And if there’s no blood flowing because your cortisol is too low, you can’t do it.  – 30:51
  • Dave:
    our thyroid globulin is a little high and your reverse T3 is slightly high. Why is thyroid globulin high? Let’s see what’s going on with that. Did they say anything about your thyroglobulin?  – 33:04
  • When you get your testosterone, your thyroid and maybe your cortisol working, you’re going to go, “Oh, this is fantastic. Look what’s happening to me.” And it’s going to feel very different for you.  – 37:37
  • One of the things we do is we have a specific kind of medically certified compression pants. And there’s all kinds of compression things out there. But they don’t actually work with the limp channels the way the ones that we use. – 41:44
  • I’m going to jump in the ocean or use a shower at home, how many minutes and I presume you need to immerse everything including your head?  – 44:07
