Essentials: How to Optimize Your Hormones for Health & Vitality | Dr. Kyle Gillett

The gist

1. Six pillars of hormone health are diet, resistance training, stress management, sleep, sunlight, and spiritual wellness, pursued consistently over time.
2. Resistance training and caloric restriction are the strongest levers for hormones, but caloric restriction can lower testosterone in lean, healthy individuals.
3. Smoked marijuana raises aromatase, converting testosterone to estrogen, while high alcohol and benzodiazepines similarly suppress testosterone levels.
4. Gillett says BPC-157 may help injuries with poor blood flow but carries theoretical cancer risk and should be avoided by those with cancer history.
