How We Test Cardiovascular Risk with Cardiologist Dr. Michael Twyman
Every 40 seconds, someone has a heart attack. Heart attacks are the leading cause of death worldwide, with 18 million people dying each year from cardiovascular disease.   In this episode, we dive deep into the limitations of the standard lipid panel and explore why most doctors rely on it for prescribing statins. We discuss the importance of measuring the particles that transport cholesterol, such as Apo-B and LP(a), rather than just cholesterol levels. Additionally, we examine the impact of disruptors like mouthwash and antacid medication on nitric oxide production and arterial health.   We also highlight the cardiovascular testing Victory offers for their patients, including Advanced Lipid Panels, MaxPulse, SphygmoCor, and Carotid Artery Scans. Tune in to learn more about how these advanced tests can provide a more comprehensive understanding of your cardiovascular health.   Takeaways The standard lipid panel has limitations and may not provide a comprehensive analysis of cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk. Measuring the particles that transport cholesterol, such as Apo-B and LP(a), is important for predicting cardiovascular risk. The Boston Heart Lab panel offers a more advanced analysis of lipoproteins, oxidative stress, inflammation, and nitric oxide production. Lifestyle changes, including dietary modifications and nitric oxide support, can be effective alternatives to statins. The HeartSmart ultrasound scan provides information about arterial age and plaque buildup, helping to assess cardiovascular risk. The Max Pulse test measures arterial elasticity and can indicate the presence of arterial stiffness and dysfunction. Central aortic blood pressure measurement is important for evaluating cardiovascular health and guiding treatment decisions. Disruptors like mouthwash and antacid medication can negatively impact nitric oxide production and arterial health. The future of cardiovascular imaging holds promise for more precise assessment of plaque and improved treatment strategies. Reversing plaque buildup is possible through lifestyle changes, nitric oxide promotion, and lipid-lowering therapies.

Nutrition, fitness, strength training, protein consumption, and fiber intake. In this conversation, Amy Stuttle interviews nutrition coach Aram Grigorian. They discuss various topics related to nutrition and fitness, including strength training, protein consumption, and fiber intake.    Takeaways Strength training is essential for improving body composition, aging well, and maintaining independence.

How To Better Manage Your Thyroid Treatment | Hormones, Ozempic, and Ketamine with Dr. Lovat
In this episode, Dr. Lovat discusses the frequent mismanagement of thyroid conditions, explores the role of insulin resistance in various health issues, and examines the use of medications like semaglutide and ketamine in contemporary healthcare. Join us as we delve into these critical topics. Dr. Lovat, the owner of Firefly Medical, discusses her journey from working in a large hospital setting to opening her own hormone clinic. She explains the frustrations of working within the insurance model and the limitations it placed on her ability to provide the best care for her patients. Dr. Lovat also shares her experience attending WorldLink's training and how it opened her eyes to the importance of optimizing hormones in achieving overall health.Takeaways: Working within the insurance model can be frustrating and limit the ability to provide the best care for patients. Optimizing hormones is crucial for achieving overall health and well-being. The mismanagement of thyroid conditions is common, and dosing should be based on symptoms rather than numbers. Insulin resistance plays a significant role in various health issues, and addressing it through lifestyle changes and medication can have a positive impact. The use of statins should be carefully considered, as they can have negative effects on hormones and overall health. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide can be effective in promoting weight loss and improving insulin sensitivity. Ketamine drips can be used for the treatment of mental health conditions, and they have shown promising results in reducing symptoms.  To Visit FireFly's Website Click HERE Victory Men's Health  For questions email: [email protected] Disclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Nitric Oxide Supplements | A Daily Habit With BIG Results with Dr. Nathan Bryan
Dr. Nathan Bryan discusses the importance of nitric oxide for overall health and the impact of certain products on nitric oxide production. He explains that nitric oxide is a gas naturally produced in the body that dilates blood vessels, improves oxygen uptake, lowers inflammation, and regulates blood flow. However, products like mouthwash, fluoride, and antacids can disrupt nitric oxide production. Dr. Bryan emphasizes the need for education and awareness among dentists and healthcare practitioners to prevent the negative effects of these products. Additionally, he explains the connection between nitric oxide and erectile dysfunction, and how his product can improve nitric oxide production and enhance the effectiveness of phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Nitric oxide plays a crucial role in maintaining blood flow and preventing the onset and progression of various diseases. Daily intake of nitric oxide supplements can have cytoprotective effects and reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and Alzheimer's disease. While the effects of nitric oxide supplements may not be immediately felt, they can be observed through ultrasound imaging of blood vessels. Nitric oxide is also important for cardiovascular health, as it dilates blood vessels, stabilizes plaque, and prevents vascular inflammation. Takeaways: Nitric oxide is a gas produced in the body that plays a crucial role in overall health, including blood vessel dilation, oxygen uptake, inflammation reduction, and regulation of blood flow. Certain products like mouthwash, fluoride, and antacids can disrupt nitric oxide production, leading to negative health effects. Education and awareness among dentists and healthcare practitioners are essential to prevent the negative impact of these products on nitric oxide production. Many nitric oxide supplements on the market, such as those containing l-arginine or beet products, are ineffective because they do not address the underlying issue of nitric oxide deficiency. Dr. Nathan Bryan's N101 lozenges are a highly effective nitric oxide supplement that directly generate nitric oxide and contain essential cofactors like magnesium and vitamin C. Nitric oxide deficiency is a common cause of erectile dysfunction, and Dr. Bryan's product can improve nitric oxide production and enhance the effectiveness of phosphodiesterase inhibitors used to treat the condition.  Daily intake of nitric oxide supplements can reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and Alzheimer's disease. Nitric oxide supplements may not produce immediate effects, but their benefits can be observed through ultrasound imaging of blood vessels. Nitric oxide plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health by dilating blood vessels, stabilizing plaque, and preventing vascular inflammation.  To Visit Dr. Bryan's Website Click HERE Victory Men's Health  For questions email: [email protected] Disclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

PCOS Symptoms & Insulin Resistance: The Labs You Should Request with Angie Nichols
PCOS Treatment | What To Do When Your Levels are "Normal" In this episode, Amy interviews Angie Nichols from Tier 1 Health and Wellness about women's hormones. They discuss when women should start considering optimizing their hormones, symptoms and diagnosis of PCOS, recommended hormone testing, the effects of low testosterone levels, preferred delivery methods for hormones, concerns with testosterone pellets, optimal levels and delivery methods for progesterone and estradiol, and addressing concerns about hormone therapy and breast cancer. The conversation covers topics related to synthetic hormones, birth control, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and hormone treatment options. Angie provides insights into the differences between synthetic and bio-identical hormones, the risks associated with synthetic hormones, and the impact of birth control pills on hormone levels. She also discusses the symptoms and diagnosis of PCOS, as well as various treatment options, including thyroid medication, progesterone, metformin, and spironolactone. Angie shares her personal hormone routine and expresses concerns about the mismanagement of hormone therapy and the influence of big pharma in the healthcare industry. Takeaways Synthetic hormones are chemically altered and not bio-identical to the hormones produced by the body. They can have more side effects and may increase the risk of certain health conditions. Birth control pills can affect hormone levels, including reducing testosterone in women and potentially impacting athletic performance. Diagnosing PCOS involves evaluating symptoms, hormone levels (such as FSH, LH, and testosterone), and using diagnostic criteria. However, there is a need for updated and standardized diagnostic criteria. Individualized hormone therapy can help manage symptoms and improve overall health, but there is a lack of awareness and support for this approach in mainstream medicine. There are concerns about the mismanagement of hormone therapy and the influence of big pharma on healthcare decisions and access to treatment.

Why Nitric Oxide is Crucial for ED - Proven Natural Therapies with Cassidy Graham, NP
Solutions For Erectile Dysfunction In this episode, Cassidy Graham, NP discusses the evaluation and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Cassidy explains how she uses a SHIM score to evaluate ED. The SHIM score (Sexual Health Inventory for Men), is a questionnaire used to assess ED. SHIM is a validated tool developed by researchers to help clinicians evaluate the severity of ED in men. It consists of five questions related to the frequency and quality of erections, with scores ranging from 1 to 25. A higher score indicates better erectile function, while lower scores suggest more severe ED. The SHIM score helps the Victory Men’s Health providers gauge the extent of the problem and guide appropriate treatment options for patients experiencing ED. Cassidy also examples the most common lifestyle factors that contribute to ED, the important role of nitric oxide in ED and the use of nitric oxide supplements, treatment options for mild, moderate, and severe ED, the use of penis pumps, and the importance of post-op care for prostatectomy patients. Takeaways The SHIM score and questionnaire are useful tools for evaluating ED. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, diabetes, and obesity can contribute to ED. Nitric oxide supplements can help improve blood flow and treat ED. Treatment options for ED include hormones, PDE5 inhibitors, wave therapy, penis pumps, and Trimix injections. Post-op care is important for prostatectomy patients to regain sexual function. Communication and support between partners are crucial in the treatment of ED.
