0:00.0	I'm extremely excited to announce a brand new sponsor for the Behind the Shield podcast,
0:04.2	that is Transcend. Now, for many of you listening, you are probably working the same brutal shifts
0:10.1	that I did for 14 years, suffering from sleep deprivation, body composition challenges, mental
0:16.3	health challenges, libido, hair loss, etc. Now when it comes to the world of hormone replacement and
0:22.5	peptide therapy, what I have seen is a shift from doctors telling us that we were within normal
0:27.0	limits, which was definitely incorrect all the way to the other way now where men's clinics
0:31.8	are popping up left, right and center. So I myself wanted to find a reputable company that would do an analysis of my physiology
0:39.7	and then offer supplementations without ramming, for example, hormone replacement therapy down

1:21.6	out the fire service five years ago and been very diligent with my health, my testosterone
1:26.8	was actually in a good place. So I went down
1:29.4	the peptide root and some other supplements to try and maximize my physiology, knowing full well
1:34.4	the damage that 14 years of shift work has done. Now, I also want to underline because I think this is
1:39.4	very important that each of the therapies they offer, they will talk about the pros and cons.
1:45.0	So, for example, a lot of first responders in shift work, our testosterone will be low,
1:49.0	but sometimes nutrition, exercise and sleep can offset that on its own.
