Does DHEA support training results?

By Mike Mahler

By Hugh R. Woodward, MHA  Some supplement companies would like you to believe in magic.

Underrated supplements you should be using

By Mike Mahler

Two of the most underrated supplements that everyone should be using are the amino acid glutamine and most definitely systemic enzymes.

Gut health is paramount to overall health! If …

By Mike Mahler

My #1 favorite supplement for senior dogs is cetyl myristoleate. Cetyl-M is a fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties.

However, accruing to Ramneek S Bhogal, DC DABCI, “Improved inflammatory response with CMO is what ultimately leads to improved range of motion in the …

Are seed oils really a problem?

By Mike Mahler

Many self-proclaimed nutrition experts and influencers who think that having abs gives them credibility claim that seed oils such as canola, safflower, and sunflower oils are all toxic and should be avoided like the second coming of the plague. They claim that these oils increase inflammation (I doubt most who use the word inflammation even …

Have you tried any nootropics that are actually effective? 

By Mike Mahler

The number one drug that I have used for nootropic benefits is by far Modafinil. Modafinil was created to treat narcolepsy.

Is low androgen receptor activity preventing you from maximizing the benefits of testosterone?

By Mike Mahler

There are numerous clips on YouTube promulgated by self-proclaimed experts conveying the importance of androgen receptors. These self-professed experts state or reiterate that without adequate androgen receptor activity, the amount of testosterone you produce is worthless as it will not be utilized. Of course, like many things you see on YouTube, this is at best an oversimplification and more precisely …

I have been using the 3×5-10 program and I am loving it! How long can I stay on the program? 

By Mike Mahler

I am glad the 3×5-10 program is working well for you and you can stay on the program indefinitely but at the very least stick with it for twelve weeks. Far too many believe that you need to change programs often such as every six weeks to keep your body guessing and to sustain progress, but in …

Are there any fat-burning supplements you recommend?

By Mike Mahler

Most fat-burning supplements on the market are stimulant-based, thus they work by increasing the neurotransmitter/hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. Norepinephrine and epinephrine are catecholamines, secreted by the adrenals, which trigger the “fight or flight” response (also known as an adrenaline rush) providing an energy and strength boost by way of the central nervous system for 2-15 minutes. …

Train with optimal testosterone levels to maximize progress

By Mike Mahler

While many still propagate the myth of workouts that increase testosterone and growth hormone, the reality is whatever increase you derive in anabolic hormones from training is short-lived. An increase in testosterone for example for thirty minutes to an hour after training is not long enough to have a profound impact on low testosterone levels. …

Why fat burners cause more harm than benefit

By Mike Mahler

Most fat-burning supplements on the market are stimulant-based, thus they work by increasing the neurotransmitter/hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine.

If Bulbine Natalensis is so effective, how come it’s not in more products? 

By Mike Mahler

First, you’re being presumptuous in assuming the vast majority of supplement companies care about designing effective products. The reality is the preponderance of supplement companies care foremost about maximum profit and tend to put 90% of funds into marketing and only 10% if even that into product development. Whether a product works or not is …

What do you think of Andrew Huberman’s hormone optimization information?

By Mike Mahler

From what I have seen his understanding of hormone optimization is very antiquated, to say the least.

For …

Excessive estrogen levels are a problem for men

By Mike Mahler

The hormone optimization world is similar to any other world. There are many dissenting opinions and always some who purposely take contrarian views to whatever the current narrative is.

How does fish oil compare to Restorezyme for reducing excess inflammation? 

By Mike Mahler

Fish oil lowers inflammation by suppressing the immune system. This can be useful if you have an overactive immune response. However, if you don’t then suppressing the immune system is as negative as it sounds. Restorezyme lowers cortisol levels, more specifically it lowers the need for a cortisol response to inflammation which will in turn …

Recovery is everything! Restoration must be prioritized

By Mike Mahler

It took a few weeks to find the activation dosage but once …
