Hormone Harmony: The End Of PMS, Cramps, Infertility, & Cycle Chaos W/ Alisa Vitti (For Men Too!) #311

I am extremely excited to share this episode with Alisa Vitti, folks, because I think this one is going to end a lot of suffering — not only for our female listeners but for anyone who is in a relationship with females and wants to understand how to best support them. If you’re not familiar, Alisa’s wisdom is unparalleled when it comes to women's hormonal and reproductive health. She is a pioneer in female biohacking, the founder of FLO Living and the MyFLO App , the author of "Woman Code" and "In The FLO," and the creator of a Cycle Syncing Method that has transformed the health and life of thousands of women. Alisa first started down this path because she wanted to understand more about her own body and health. Over and over, she felt misunderstood and mistreated by the medical system and wellness industry. From pharmaceuticals to diets to fitness programs, everything is based on research done to men, so women never get the results they’re hoping for. Through years of researching and writing, she uncovered that each individual woman needs something tailored for their unique female hormonal pattern to truly feel their best — and FLO28 is the culmination of all that research. This is a lifestyle program based on her Cycle Syncing Method. What makes this different from anything else out there is that it’s a food, exercise, and time management program based on your actual female biology and hormones. And it’s the only program based on your INFRADIAN RHYTHM. It turns out that having an infradian rhythm causes changes in a woman’s metabolism, brain, stress and other systems. So, basically, you need to take care of your body differently throughout the 4 phases of your cycle. Every month, you’ll get recipes, shopping lists, meal plans, and workout videos for each phase of your cycle. You’ll also get a revolutionary time management system to organize and optimize your life. On top of that, you’ll get direct support from Alisa through her monthly Master Classes, where you can get your questions answered. I’m so excited to be able to offer this special opportunity to my community! If you want to make peace with your body, if you want to get rid of your PMS, if you want to do more with less stress — you’re going to want to try this.

Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them? Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities? Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated? EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to. In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF. By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.

Imagine this: a probiotic that actually does what it is supposed to do! I’ve tried so many different supplements, and when you find the right one — the one that really works — it’s like winning the lottery.

Their products have been the subject of groundbreaking clinical studies and demonstrated incomparable effects on the gut, even healing leaky gut. It’s super simple and it just works.

Plus, they even do prescription and reading glasses now, as well as an epic send-your-own frame service, both using the same world-renowned blue light blocking lenses. I’ve also been digging their new REMedy Sleep Mask, which blocks out 100% of the light around you while you’re sleeping.

As we age, many of us experience something called andropause, which is a steady decline in testosterone and other androgens that occurs around the age of 35-40. When you add in the xenoestrogens in our food, water, and personal care products, we have a serious hormone problem — a problem that eventually forces many people to look into hormone replacement therapy, a very aggressive form of regulating hormones from the pharmaceutical and medical industry. So, if you're looking for a natural alternative, you’re going to want Pine Pollen Pure Potency. It is absolutely the best natural male hormone replacement on the market (I use it at least twice a day!), and it’s a great supplement to help regulate anyone’s hormonal health.
