The Secrets of Hormones: How to Optimize Your Health & Longevity

We’re finally back after a pause since January, and we’re kicking things off with a thrilling dive into hormones—specifically, how testosterone and other key hormones keep us energized, sharp, and healthy. Dr. Cristina Romero-Bosch and Dr. John A. Robinson explain how modern life has pummeled our hormones for generations, thanks to poor diets, environmental toxins, lack of sleep, and chronic stress. Thankfully, taking control of what we eat, shedding excess weight, watching our iron levels, and using cold exposure can boost testosterone naturally. And yes, ladies need testosterone, too—just in the right dosage.

We also tackle hot topics like semen retention versus frequent ejaculation for prostate health and how peptides like BPC-157 or Ipamorelin can support hormone production (but only when combined with a smart lifestyle). If you’re looking into long-term hormone replacement therapy, remember: it’s about the marathon, not the sprint. Test regularly, start small, and avoid guesswork.

Key Takeaways:

• Testosterone isn’t just a “male” hormone—both sexes rely on it.
• Clean eating, movement, and less stress pay huge hormonal dividends.
• Keep an eye on iron—high ferritin can zap testosterone.
• Find balance when it comes to ejaculation frequency.
• Peptides and hormone therapy work best when you nail the basics first.
