Yesterday, I had a call with a client who wanted to fix:

His physique – Puffy face, love handles, and looking soft, despite benching 315.
Poor digestion – Bloating, stomach pain, and random gut sensitivity.
Foamy urine & excessive wiping – Signs of poor nutrient absorption and gut dysfunction.
Low motivation, poor sleep & irritability – Classic hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalances.
Injury-prone & muscle tightness – Weak connective tissue and systemic inflammation.
High testosterone-to-estrogen ratio, but low DHT – Poor androgen metabolism.

And the list went on.

The Root of It All? Gut Health.

Excessive wiping, constipation, foamy urine, irritability, poor sleep, and a puffy body are all signs of gut dysfunction.

When the gut is compromised:

Nutrient absorption drops → Even the best diet isn’t fueling your body properly.
Bacterial overgrowth triggers inflammation → Lowering testosterone and making muscle growth harder.
Amino acids feed bad bacteria instead of building muscle → Producing toxins that inflame the body.
Excess beta-glucuronidase recycles estrogen → His testosterone was in the 400s, while estradiol was in the 50s—a far cry from the ideal 20:1 ratio.

The Fix: A Step-by-Step Approach

Step 1: Optimize Digestion

Focus on 1-2 easy-to-digest, nutrient-dense foods to starve bad bacteria and reduce gut inflammation.
This step alone lowers inflammation dramatically, allowing cells to function properly again.

Step 2: Improve Nutrient Absorption

Nutrient deficiencies are a silent killer of testosterone, mitochondria, and neurotransmitter balance.
Fixing absorption boosts energy, mood, motivation, and recovery.

Step 3: Reduce Intestinal Inflammation

A specific probiotic was introduced to normalize bowel movements—turning them into smooth, ghost-wipe missiles.

Step 4: Expand Nutrient-Dense Foods

Once digestion is strong, we increase food variety to ensure all essential nutrients are covered.
We do this after stabilizing the gut to minimize unnecessary variables.

Step 5: Identify Metabolic Bottlenecks

Once the foundation is set, we run comprehensive testing to pinpoint any remaining bottlenecks blocking peak performance.

Why This Works

Every issue comes down to two core problems:

Nutritional Deficiencies → Either from low intake or poor absorption of vitamins and minerals.
Oxidative Stress & Inflammation → A hidden toxin source damaging the body.

That’s why we eliminate gut dysfunction, fix nutrient absorption, and add back only what’s needed.

We didn’t just throw Damiana at his high estrogen—because his high estrogen wasn’t caused by a Damiana deficiency.

It was caused by nutrient deficiencies and chronic inflammation.

The same applies to low testosterone and DHT—if you don’t fix the root cause, no supplement will save you long-term.
