1:40 The #1 reason for high estrogen in men
2:35 What to do about too much estrogen in men 

Today we’re going to talk about the consequences of high estrogen in men and what you can do if you’re a man who has have too much estrogen. 

Consequences of high estrogen in men:
1. It can increase the risk of stroke
• Excess estrogen can increase the risk of blood clots that can lead to stroke.

2. Too much estrogen can be dangerous to the cardiovascular system
• Estrogen (estradiol) is typically at higher levels when someone has a heart attack, and when men have atherosclerosis. 

3. Estrogen dominance can cause an enlarged prostate
• Estrogen is an anabolic hormone. It grows things. 

What causes high estrogen in men? It could potentially be because of:

• Soy products 
• Endocrine disrupters 
• Dairy 
• Too much aromatase (This could be the #1 reason, and it’s likely because of belly fat)

What to do:
• DIM 
• Stinging nettle root 
• Cruciferous vegetables
• Reduce insulin (do healthy keto and intermittent fasting)

Today we’re going to talk about why diabetes can make you more susceptible to getting viruses like COVID-19. Being a diabetic actually triples the mortality rate from the COVID-19 virus.

The virus enters the cell through your own body’s receptor. This type of receptor is called the ACE2 receptor. The virus enters and starts to replicate. The more ACE2 receptors you have on your cells, the more susceptible you could be to this virus. 

• Diabetics have a lot more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells. 
• People with high blood glucose have more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells.
• People with higher amounts of insulin have more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells.

A few additional things to be aware of:

• Insulin resistance can impair your immune response to a virus.

• People with hyperglycemia (high sugar) have a decrease in neutrophils. Neutrophils eat viruses, they release anti-microbial chemicals that kill pathogens, and they use NETS to dissolve microbes with chemicals. If you don’t have enough neutrophils, your immune system is going to be compromised, and your body won’t have the weapons to fight off viruses. 

If you have diabetes and you’re concerned about COVID-19 (coronavirus), you may want to consider decreasing your carbs (the healthy keto diet) and intermittent fasting. This could potentially help greatly improve diabetes and help support the immune system.

1:39 IGF-1 & GH
3:06 Cortisol
4:21 Thyroid
5:34 Estrogen 
6:50 Androgens

In this video, we’re going to talk about how ketones affect hormones and the endocrine system. 

1. Insulin
Lowered insulin triggers the production of ketones. When you have high insulin, you can’t get into ketosis. Carbohydrates and frequent eating are what mainly trigger insulin. Lowering your insulin and running your body on ketones can have a lot of health benefits. 

2. Glucagon 
Glucagon is a hormone that helps mobilize and burn fat. Glucagon is stimulated by a moderate amount of protein, intense exercise, and reduced insulin. 

3. IGF-1
This is a hormone that works very similar to growth hormone. IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) mobilizes fat fuel when you’re not eating or when you’re keeping your insulin low. When you eat, IGF-1 goes down, and insulin goes up. 

4. Growth hormone 
Growth hormone is an anti-aging hormone, it helps make proteins in the body, and it’s a fat-burning hormone. 

5. Cortisol 
This is an adrenal hormone. If you go through a lot of stress, typically, your cortisol levels will be elevated. This elevated cortisol can eventually lead to a spike in insulin. 

6. Thyroid hormones 
When you’re on keto, and you start to make ketones, you might see a drop in T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone). This is not a problem because ketones are a much more efficient fuel than glucose, so the thyroid does not have to work as hard. Even though your T3 might be down, you should feel just fine and have lots of energy. 

7. Estrogen 
Estrogen can increase the sensitivity to insulin. If you have low estrogen levels, you may find that you have more symptoms of insulin resistance. Some women with extra weight after menopause may actually be more estrogen dominant because fat makes estrogen. The healthy keto diet may help.

8. Androgens
A high carb diet can decrease testosterone in the male body. In this situation, you’re running your body more on insulin, and you’re not in ketosis. When you get into ketosis by doing the keto diet, you can enhance testosterone. A high carb diet can actually increase testosterone in a woman’s body, causing hair loss, facial hair, a deep voice, and a gut because of the high insulin.

0:00 New coronavirus treatment
0:28 What is this the coronavirus treatment? 
0:52 Your immune system
1:38 The advantages of this coronavirus treatment 

Today I want to share some more good coronavirus news. There is another coronavirus treatment out there that’s being investigated. I like this coronavirus treatment. It’s actually been around for a long time. The name of it is convalescent antibody-rich plasma. The word convalescent means that you’re recovering from some type of infection. 

With the convalescent antibody-rich plasma treatment, they use plasma from people who have been through the infection and fully recovered. 

Plasma is rich in antibodies. People who recovered will have antibodies against COVID-19. 

This treatment will actually give you the experience of someone else’s immune system without you having to go through it. It can help protect you. If you’re critically ill, you have antibodies with all of this experience that can help speed up the recovery. 

The potential advantages of this therapy are:

• Decreased viral loads (without adverse reactions)
• Normalized body temperature within a few days
• A reduction in mortality rates from 16% to 1% from hemorrhagic fever
• Significantly lower death rates from flu, MERS, SARS, and ebola 
• It was used in the Spanish flu of 1918 where it showed a reduced mortality rate of 21% between the years of 1918-1925
• One person donating plasma will be enough to treat 3-4 patients with severe symptoms

0:00 Why do we get a big nose and big ears as we age?
1:00 Why men get bushy eyebrows and hair loss
1:41 How to prevent balding and bushy eyebrows with 5-ARIs

In this video, I want to talk about why your ears and nose continue growing as you get older. Unfortunately, it’s inevitable—your ears and nose will grow and grow.

While your bones stop growing in your early 20s, your cartilage doesn’t. Your nose and ears are made up of cartilage, which is why they don’t stop growing. At the same time, the connective tissue that holds the cartilage together decreases. This can lead to drooping and sagging.

Men also have a problem with something called DHT. DHT is a powerful type of testosterone that is created from testosterone and a certain enzyme. This leads to hair loss. Interestingly, though it stops the growth of hair on your head, it also increases the growth of nose, ear, and eyebrow hair.

There are certain natural enzyme inhibitors that help prevent DHT called 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors. This happens to be found in pumpkin seeds.

Overview of Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:

Insulin Resistance and What You Can Do About It:

Timestamps
0:08 Underlying health conditions and COVID-19
0:46 A person without pre-existing health conditions 
1:43 Why there is an increased risk
2:15 Insulin resistance and COVID-19 

Today I want to talk about COVID-19 (the coronavirus) and why certain underlying health conditions put you at a higher risk. 

Pre-existing health problems and increased COVID 19 mortality rates:

1. Cardiovascular — 13.2%
2. Diabetes — 9.2%
3. Chronic respiratory — 8.0%
4. Hypertension— 8.4%
5. Cancer — 7.6%

If a person doesn’t have any of these pre-existing health problems, the mortality rate is 0.9%. But, if a person has underlying health conditions, the death rate can increase significantly. 

The way the virus penetrates the cell is through a receptor interaction. The little spikes that come off of the coronavirus connect to the ACE2 receptor opening the door to the cell, where they can go in and create damage. 

People with the above health conditions have a much higher concentration of the ACE2 receptors. But there is another condition that has a higher concentration of these receptors, and it’s called insulin resistance. Another thing that’s interesting is that in a lot of cases, people with cardiovascular problems, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer, also have insulin resistance. It’s possible that improving insulin resistance may help with these conditions.
