In this episode, hormone optimization expert Guy Citrin reveals how stress dominates hormone balance while plastic exposure acts as estrogen mimics, decreasing testosterone and contributing to rising infertility rates. He explains how microplastics embedded in tissues disrupt receptor function and can trigger hormone-dependent cancers. Guy breaks down why conventional blood tests tell an incomplete story and how the Dutch test's analysis of 52 hormone breakdown components reveals hundreds of dysfunction patterns, enabling precise interventions. Discover his clinical approach to testosterone optimization, the therapeutic potential of peptides for natural body modulation, and why quality sourcing determines results. The difference between feeling "normal" and feeling vital lies in the breakdown story your blood work isn't telling you.

0:11.6	estrogen dominant. They want to be testosterone dominant, both men and women these days.

0:38.5	these peptides is the right way you can transform your metabolism, brain function, without all
0:44.1	of those scary side effects. We're also diving into the peptide revolution that's quietly

1:20.7	Stress. Stress. Okay. Stress. How can someone tell if their hormones are truly out of balance?
1:28.7	What's one thing that is really common?
