What up, guys. Welcome to the jih Tjitsu podcast today. Today we've got a, it's a guy named Joe, Joe Miller, and he is a founder of a

functional medicine clinic called First Optimal. They came on board as a sponsor to the Jiu-Jitsu Open, and they started working with a few people that I know of and doing some good work with him. And I figured we would have him on to talk about what he's doing

because I think it's important. You know, as we get a little bit older, we're all looking

for like something to kind of give us that edge back. You know, we're all, all of us, right?

Men and women. And, you know, what he does is much different than, say, you know, because a lot of times, like, when

his guys, it's like, we think, oh, T, or T, here's some testosterone, you know, it, which they,

they do that, right? They have that option there, but as you're going to listen to me, it's like,

it's much deeper than that. And the options that they have is and trying different stuff. And, you know, there's nothing

wrong with that because obviously if you get an effect from it, like, okay, great, you know,

but his whole thing is, especially with supplements that are meant to, you know, help you with

hormones or, you know, certain things that vitamins and things of that nature, you don't know

if you're not digging deep into the blood work. You're just not. You don't know what you're doing.

You know, and so you could have like a placebo effect, but it could be making absolutely no change in you.

And you could be just spewing money down the toilet.

So we get on the podcast.

We talk to him about things like gut health, you know, simple solutions and simple ideas that typically affect people negatively.

One of them I definitely was not expecting. The first one, I was surprised me, right? But then he gets into

things like obviously things that negatively affect our hormones. We talk about both men and women

because my wife, like she kind of opened my eyes to the complexity of women's hormones and how

it's like very underserved in the

marketplace because you know it just for a long time we just didn't do it you know and so

a lot of cool stuff on the podcast a lot of interesting information and we'll also talk
