Welcome back to "Achieving Unlimited Health." In today's episode, host Dr. Cima takes us deeper into the vital but often misunderstood world of hormones. Building on the foundation of detox and nutrition covered in previous episodes, he explores how hormones are the true messengers in our bodies, shaping everything from our metabolism and mood to our sleep, motivation, and even longevity. Drawing on over five decades of clinical experience, Dr. Cima breaks down why so many of our modern health struggles, like weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, and emotional ups and downs are actually rooted in hormonal imbalances. Dr. Cima unpacks how nutrition, toxicity, and lifestyle choices set the stage for these imbalances, why true healing means rebuilding the glands that produce our hormones, and why “test, don’t guess” is the mantra for personalized, lasting results. Whether you’re struggling with energy, weight, or just want to feel your best at every age, this episode is packed with insights, real-life examples, and practical steps to help you take charge of your hormonal health naturally, and for the long haul. 00:00 Endocrinology and Chiropractic Journey 05:18 Hormonal Health: Diet and Exercise 08:26 "Hormonal Balance and Well-being" 11:53 "Impact of Unhealthy Childhood Diets" 16:24 "Supplements, Diet, and Aging" 19:25 Body Shape and Health Connection 21:14 Diabetes, Medications, and Weight Trends 25:08 "Winning Olympia vs. Longevity" 29:17 "Eat What You Enjoy" 30:51 Track Diet for Lasting Results 35:33 "Glandular Therapy Overview" 37:10 Thyroid Recovery through Supplements 40:21 Protein and Dieting Guidelines 45:34 "Statins, Cholesterol, and Brain Health" 48:17 Hormones' Impact on Body Systems 51:19 Personalized Health and Diet Approach 53:45 Hormones Shape Life Balance https://achieving-unlimited-health.podcastpage.io/ https://cimahealth.com/ https://cimasystem.com/ https://www.tophealth.care/ “Disclaimer: Informational only.
