Authors note: For years, I have told couples not to get divorced until they both get their hormones checked, balanced, and optimized. Every marriage counselor, family counselor, psychologist, and pastor should know this! I have seen hundreds of marriages restored after they both got their testosterone levels back on track. This is obviously not all about sex; this is about life, marriage, family, fun, health, and being all that we were meant to be. How can we bring glory and honor to God when our lives are falling apart? Of course hormone levels are not the answer to everything, but they do play an important part in every area of life, especially your marriage.

To all the millions of patients who have been told that their symptoms including fatigue, cold hands, cold feet, brain fog, lethargy, depressed mood, irritability, and more were due to aging or stress or depression. You were probably prescribed an antidepressant and other meds and told with a pat on the back that its a normal part of aging and to expect more troublesome symptoms. Well, you probably need your hormones optimized or brought to the level of a twenty-five-year-old. When that happens, most of these symptoms are relieved.

CONTENTS

IT ISNT VERY often, at least in the medical community, that you can look at a very real need, such as a debilitating sickness or decade-long symptoms, and say, We now have an answer for that. The word that best describes this feeling is hope. Maybe excitement as well!

This book contains answers to so many symptoms, diseases, sicknesses, ailments, troubles, and problems that I cannot list them all! The prospects for better health and an improved future have never been brighter! The question really is, How healthy do you want to be? We all naturally want to be as healthy as possible. After all, our health is our greatest commodity. It is what gives us the opportunity to pursue our goals, reach our dreams, and enjoy life to the fullest.

Sadly many of us have limits. Some we impose on ourselves; others are imposed on us. As a result, we have health caps that seem insurmountable. Well, thats what happens when you turn thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty, we are told. Whatever the age, there is a long list of ailments that are supposedly normal to have. But I dont want them; do you?

What if we could exchange all the normal, negative symptoms for such things as:

increased metabolism

better sleep

more energy

greater focus

weight loss

improved stamina

lower cholesterol

for women, getting your curves back

for men, no erectile dysfunction

thick hair

wrinkle-free skin

dementia protection

Alzheimers protection

Parkinsons protection

warm hands and warm feet

hope and zest for life

Sign me up for those symptoms, people would gladly say. Thankfully we can usually do just that when we optimize our hormone levels. We have been told for years that our hormones need to be balanced, but as we will discuss more in the book, that is not a complete picture.

Think of it this way: imagine you have been training to run a local 5K race, and when you show up to get your jersey, you are given the choice of carrying a one hundredpound rock, a fifty-pound rock, or no rock at all.

If your hormones are out of whack, its like youve got the one hundredpound rock to deal with. And if your hormones are balanced, then you get the much lighter, fifty-pound rock to tote around. Thats better, you think, but what about the zero-pound option? Thats when your hormones are beyond balanced; theyre optimized, which is what this book is about.

You can also think of it as a grade. Scoring a D- grade is still technically passing, but barely... and that is similar to when someone is barely in the normal range for hormones. An average grade of C is similar to patients who have their hormones balanced and at mid-range. An A grade, however, is when your hormones have reached optimized levels.

That is the way it is with hormones. Even when they are balanced, we are still typically running at a deficit. Usually were dealing with some symptoms, disease is knocking at the door, and life is hard going. Some may claim they are happy with balanced hormone levels, but given a chance to choose between balanced and optimized, Im guessing they would opt for optimized hormones.
