Speaker 1:

Hi everyone, I'm Dr Enrico Dolcecori, and welcome on another episode of Living a Full Life. This week we're continuing on with our hormone discussions and we're moving into sexual maturity, sexual hormones and hormones in general. And you want to listen to this podcast because we're going to show you how it all works for men and women and how to maintain a healthy adult sexual and hormonal life so that we can go through those phases in life through andropause and through menopause as healthy as we can, with as least side effects as we possibly can. So you'll really like this episode. We'll continue going through it and start bringing in some other experts in the field and really build on this.

Speaker 1:

We talked about the circadian rhythm a couple episodes ago. Last time it was about the cortisol rhythm. These are all hormones that play a role in different aspects in our life many hormones that play different aspects. So we talked about the sleep cycle, we talked about the stress cycle. Now we're talking about sexual cycle. These things are all cycles that intertwine with one another to make us who we are and how we function. It's really important to have just this basic understanding of how these things work, because if you know a little bit, you can help yourself a lot, and that's what's great about simple knowledge like this. So let's dive into key hormones that play a role in puberty and sexual development. These are the staples that we live with for the rest of our life, and it's estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and LH, and we'll get into them.

Speaker 1:

Estrogen is mainly dominant in women. Men have it too, but this hormone is central to female puberty, regulating the development of the breast, the menstrual cycle and the maturation of reproductive organs. Estrogen also plays the growth of the uterine lining during a woman's cycle. So the uterine estrogen builds during the cycle. It builds the lining with blood and then, as estrogen jobs, the progesterone goes up. We have the follicular phase where women go through their cycle. That's where progesterone comes into play. It works with estrogen to regulate the menstrual cycle and prepares the uterus for pregnancy after ovulation and maintains early pregnancy. So it plays a huge role both in the monthly cycles for a woman and during pregnancy as well.

Speaker 1:

Testosterone you know it's always been called the male sex hormone, but it plays a role in both sexes too. It's really high during male puberty and it creates sperm production, deepening of the voice, it helps muscles grow and the development of sexual characteristics like facial hair and body hair. So that's where testosterone plays its role with the males. And then we have luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormones, so LH and FSH, and they are present in both men and women. These regulate the production of eggs and sperm and stimulate the testes and ovaries and are critical during puberty and fertility processes. So those are the staples of puberty and the hormones that we're going to carry through the rest of our life, and just a quick touch on what they do during the follicular phase or the reproductive phase, or the cycle, menstrual cycle phase, just to give you a little touch on it. But we're going to show how estrogen plays a role both in men and women and we show how testosterone plays a role in both men and women, and they both have this up and down effect that works almost like a symphony that's supposed to work on a cycle to keep us in balance, and we'll talk about that a little bit there.

Speaker 1:

So hormones mainly play a role in sexual arousal when they go up and down. So dopamine and serotonin these are neurotransmitters that play a role in the brain's reward system. You can activate dopamine and serotonin through anything that you like. It could be marshmallows or desserts or food or a thing, a product, it could be anything that arouses your brain and stimulates it in a positive way. It's the positive hormones. We call them our neurotransmitters, so they trigger the feelings of happiness and pleasure. Dopamine surges during arousal, contributing to motivation for desire for sexual activity. So dopamine spikes and it can lead to what we call the arousal phase.

Speaker 1:

Oxytocin, known as the bonding hormone, promotes the feelings of closeness and intimacy often released during physical touch orgasm and childbirth. The most common place we we feel it is childbirth. Right after that, a mother connects with its child like never before and never again, where they're bonded during that time of for deep physical touch. So we get the tummy time or that skin time with each other plays a huge role during that phase. It creates connection and the only times after that so men are like well, hang on, that sounds wonderful. How do I get that? Well, that's where sex plays a role. We get the skin to skin time and the bonding time, which helps increase oxytocin levels, which is a great thing. That's produced in the body to help lower stress, calm people, calms the brain. It takes the brain into a completely different dimension for a few moments, which is great to take it away from the constant bombardment of parasympathetic and sympathetic stress, which is great plays a huge role in our life.

Speaker 1:

Testosterone is both in men and women. It was always thought as the male hormone, you know, for muscle growth, but it's also crucial for libido in both sexes, so high levels of increased sexual desire. So testosterone is shown that with higher levels there's more of a libido and with lower levels there's lower libido. And right now you'll see, you know recently in the last 10 years, of growth in testosterone clinics around the country, around, actually around the world, because we've pretty much nailed down the literature showing that, yeah, it is, it is tied to this. After 5060 years of research showing of muscle growth, lean muscle development, lean muscle, maintaining lean muscle with testosterone and also the sex things that it can help with as well, we've seen, okay, listen, we can treat both men and women with this and try and get their levels.

Speaker 1:

The thing that we're not at yet is that hormonal levels for one person are not the same for another person. So these numbers that we use on blood testing for one person may not be good for another person. Let's use testosterone we use on blood testing for one person may not be good for another person. Let's use testosterone, for example testosterone for men. The healthy range is 300 to 1100. That's a huge, wide gap of where you can live with testosterone and be considered normal. Very varying numbers Under 300 has shown in the literature that this is low testosterone and it can lead to problems.

Speaker 1:

And anything over 1,100 has been shown to create a lot of hematocrit and a lot of red blood cell production, which can lead to clotting, stroke, aneurysm and heart attacks. Anything you mess with the blood can do that. So we know that. So the medical range is like listen, if you have too low, it can create these pathologies, and if you have too high, it can create these pathologies and you could die. So everything within there is considered a healthy level, but is it? We really need to know where we're at there, and I think this is my opinion. We're abusing testosterone right now, which is going to lead to a lot of problems very soon. We're going to see that. So be careful when we play with hormones.

Speaker 1:

The point of this podcast is to educate you on hormones. We're not guiding you in any way as far as therapy. On a podcast you can't do that. And then there's pheromones as well. So with sexual arousal, we have dopamine and serotonin, oxytocin, which is wonderful, testosterone, which plays a vital role in libido, and then pheromones. Pheromones are chemical signals, more so, that are released through the body but are subtly perceived by the other person and that can influence sexual attraction and arousal between individuals as well. So pheromones are a chemical that the body releases, typically with our sweat or from our skin, and it is picked up subtly. We've masked it with a lot of perfumes, colognes and products that we use as humans, but they still are produced and the olfactory system, which is your smell system, does perceive it. So there's a role of that too.

Speaker 1:

This moves us into the woman's cycle and the hormones that play there. The follicular phase is the first phase that starts on the first day of menstruation, and FSH, the follicular stimulating hormone, stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles and estrogen rises. So everything triggers a cascade, cascading effect. So when FSH is released, it then triggers the production and release of estrogen, leading to the thickening of the uterine lining. Then what happens is ovulation on around day 14, a surge in LH, luteinizing hormone, triggers the release of an egg from the ovary. This is when fertility is highest. So that's what we call the ovulation phase. It's the highest chance of getting pregnant and it's why we track cycles. It's great family planning method. It works really well. And then we get into the luteal phase After ovulation.

Speaker 1:

After the egg is moved, the ruptured follicle forms the corpus luteum producing progesterone. So this follicle, this corpus that's created, is what triggers the production of progesterone, which prepares the uterus for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, progesterone levels drop, leading to menstruation. So it's that maintaining of progesterone once the egg is fertilized that facilitates the start of pregnancy. And if it hasn't been fertilized and it hasn't attached to the uterine wall, then progesterone says hey, or progesterone is told hey, we don't need you anymore, let's try again next month. And this happens during the maturity of a woman's life cycle. Then the menstrual phase if the egg isn't fertilized, hormone levels drop and the uterine lining is shed and we call that menstruation Good.

Speaker 1:

So sexual chemistry starts after all this understanding. And it's between two sexes and pheromones, and physical cues can be the invisible chemical messengers. Like pheromones play a role in sexual attraction. So subconscious physical cues like scent, symmetry and health indicators can influence attraction as well. So it's a very subconscious thing that are programmed into our head of what we find attractive and when those cues are set off with the right hormone cycle at the right time, we can have physical cues that trigger chemistry, sexual chemistry between two people.

Speaker 1:

So emotional and psychological factors play probably the biggest role in chemistry. It isn't purely biological, but shared experiences, emotional connections and mental stimulation are critical in sexual attraction. The brain releases endorphins and oxytocin during intimate moments, reinforcing bonding and desire. So the same neurotransmitters and hormones can be released by the brain even in circumstantial situations like emotional or psychological factors like conversation, deep conversation. You can learn a lot from a woman's brain once you get to live with them for a while. That that deep understanding and that deep conversation is the bonding that they're looking for. That helps the sexual chemistry brew within them to get to a point for sexual attraction. The woman's brain is more connected on deep connection. It's not saying the men's brain is not as well. We are too. I think we're just more aloof to that and we're more visual, more visual cues for us that trigger that.

Speaker 1:

So there's a genetic compatibility as well. So people have to be compatible. Genetically doesn't mean same genetics. Please don't misunderstand that. Genetic compatibility means that we have to be compatible with one another genetically, and there's research that's on there, but it's, I feel like it's the frontier of genetic research. So research suggests that people may be attracted to individuals with different immune system genes MHC genes as this genetic diversity could produce offspring with stronger immune systems. Very cool stuff coming out with this.

Speaker 1:

I am in no way, shape or form educated in this field. To tell you much more about it. It's fascinated me and I wanted to put it in my podcast. That maybe biologically programmed we are programmed to be attracted to people that produce stronger offspring Makes sense. We can go through Darwin's belief system of evolution of the stronger the species becomes, the more its survival becomes, and the weaker it becomes, the more it could die off. There's that there's the, the, the evolutionary theories of just growth of a species and then there is just common sense theory of like, wow, if we produce stronger offspring, we have a better chance of letting the genetics continue for the species as well. So that that is very cute, cool. Maybe keep an eye out for MHC genes and see what literature comes out with that. Very cool stuff there.

Speaker 1:

There's a kind of an introduction to sexual health, sexual maturity, puberty and, most importantly, the hormones that is happening within our body to grow during these times. But you know where I'm going to go with this podcast to finish off. Well, dr D, what do we do to maintain a healthy hormonal cycle through our adult life? Well, I'm glad you asked. That's exactly. The whole point of this podcast is what can we do to maintain healthy hormone and blood chemistry throughout our life so we don't run into these problems? And we usually see problems.

Speaker 1:

It can happen young, but it usually happens in our 40s, where men go through andropause, a final decrease in testosterone. For the first time in their life they're starting to get a decrease and they don't know it. It's going to lead to mood swings, brain chemistry changes, anger, lower libido, lower sexual function and women. It starts in the menopause phase, which again spikes in estrogen, decreases in progesterone, and this roller coaster can create a lot of symptoms from body temperature control, mood swings, brain chemistry, aches and pains, chronic fatigue syndrome. The list just goes on and on and on.

Speaker 1:

I don't think we've been listening to women for the last 2000 years on on what's happening with their hormones, and a lot of women are speaking up saying and there's great stuff coming out in the last 20 years on women's hormones and I think we're listening to women a little bit more here like being like, wow, this could be hormonal, let's look into it and we're not attacking their hormones. There was a phase of biological and bioidentical hormone therapy and hormone therapy, but I think that that huge spike we saw 20 years ago, trying to force all women to take hormones has like decreased a little bit. And now they're diving a little bit deeper into blood work and looking specifically in what needs to be supplemented, but not like before where you put everyone on estrogen or you put everyone on testosterone. Kind of remind you of something, remind you of maybe now what we're doing with men and putting them all on testosterone. I think in 20 years we're going to look back and be like, ooh, we shouldn't have put them all on testosterone, look what we did to the 30%, that whatever happened to them.

Speaker 1:

So food food plays a role. And sleep we talked about the circadian rhythm and cortisol and how sleep is a lifelong thing. Sleep is a lifelong event. The more regulated it is and the more predictable it is, the better off the person is. Research has showed this over and over and over again. The more erratic our sleep patterns in. Like shift workers, people stay up late night owls. Sleep patterns are always changing because they're moving all the time, changing time zones all the time, they're traveling a lot through their life, have irregular circadian rhythms and irregular cortisol, which can lead to stress and other things. We talked about that and the way to maintain this is creating normal habits. So a normal habit and regular habit would be a regular, balanced diet that you just bounce to every single day of your life and deviate every now and then. That is probably your best roadmap and blueprint to not just only a healthy hormonal cycle but a healthy life.

Speaker 1:

So balanced diet, nutrient-rich foods, a diet high in healthy fats Fats play a big role with hormones. Hormones are protein production and fat production, because all the cells are made from fat, like omega-3 fatty acids from fish, nuts and seeds. Lean protein and fiber help regulate hormones. Avoid processed foods, which can disrupt hormone balance. I think the most from the literature, the best way to maintain hormone production is lean protein and fiber. It's that constant protein flow in the body of eating protein, breaking it down to amino acids, using amino acid chains to build hormones and then repeating that cycle over and over again.

Speaker 1:

Processed foods are probably the number one reason why we throw off our hormonal cycles. One reason why we throw off our hormonal cycles Children females are having their cycles earlier and earlier and earlier. Nine, eight, seven years old, I've heard. That is insanity. That means estrogen is just out of control and that estrogen dominant is coming from. Dominance is coming from processed foods, the plastics in our food, the plastics we wrap our food with and the products we put directly into our food to help maintain them, give a shelf life to them, disrupt balance. So starting your children off their life with a healthy diet is probably the best gift you can ever give them.

Speaker 1:

Key vitamins and minerals yes, there are some that play huge roles in maintaining and moving hormones in the body. Zinc is probably the number one. Supports testosterone production and reproductive health. It's found in meat, shellfish and legumes and probably should be supplemented if you don't eat meat more than two meals a day. So if you're partially vegan or partially vegetarian or you use zinc, zinc has to come into your diet every day through a supplement. It can be pill vitamin D. It helps with well, man, this list could go on. I can be here all day with what vitamin D does. But let's keep it to the topic. It helps with sex hormone regulation in both men and women.

Speaker 1:

Sunlight exposure, fortified foods and supplements can help maintain adequate levels. I think everyone, because of the clothes we wear, need to, and you probably don't eat much fortified food because you don't eat processed food, so you're not buying milk with fortified D or cheeses with fortified vitamin D in it or meat. You know you're probably not buying that boxed and packaged stuff because you listen to my podcast and you just don't do that. So getting fortified vitamin D food is very difficult. So supplementation is really the only way to maintain vitamin D and you should be taking 5,000. I use international units per day to maintain that and a healthy range for vitamin D is between 50 and 70. When you do your blood testing 50 and 70, the medical range 30 to a hundred again same thing as testosterone under 30. Literature has shown that it can create problems and pathologies in the body and over 100, hard to maintain and unnecessary to be there, and people who have had that have had other things that are not really proven in the literature. But that's the medical range. You cannot overdose on vitamins, so you're good there.

Speaker 1:

Magnesium balance. So magnesium plays a role too. It binds to a lot of these other vitamins we're talking to and then they transport them, so it balances hormones like estrogen and testosterone. They're mostly found in leafy greens, nuts, seeds and whole grains. And then vitamin B all the vitamin B cycles are crucial for energy and mood regulation and healthy hormone levels. They're found in whole grains, meat and leafy greens. So what should we be eating? Proteins, leafy greens and some fish. Right, that's pretty much there. So zinc for me in my life, magnesium, vitamin D are the two that I supplement every single day, because I feel like I get enough zinc and B vitamins from the diets that I eat. I just don't eat enough fish and shellfish and all that stuff to get my omega-3. So I supplemented every day 1,500 milligrams per day.

Speaker 1:

Number two if you listen to all the podcasts, number one is always diet. Number two is always regular. Listen to all the podcasts. Number one is always diet. Number two is always regular exercise. Resistance training and cardio exercise stimulates hormone production, particularly testosterone in men and estrogen in women. Weight-bearing exercises are particularly beneficial for boosting testosterone. So resistance training that's how we naturally get a cycle of hormones. So taking hormones externally will never substitute the natural rhythm of exercise. So we need to be doing that, and a golden rule for most exercises is avoid overtraining.

Speaker 1:

While exercise is important, excessive exercise can cause a dip in testosterone and estrogen levels, leading to hormonal imbalances. See this in triathletes, marathon runners, spartan runners. People who over-train a lot of hours per week and high cardio, high resistance, wherever it may be, and they overdo it will tank their testosterone and estrogen levels. You see this in marathon runners. Let's look at the men and let's look at the Olympics. Let's look at the people that you know do this for a career and they're always training very low lean muscle mass. They're very, very thin. Hard for them to bulk up because they've they're damaging their hormonal cycle and testosterone. They're actually damaging it. So we see that in in those, in those specific categories. For most, for most of us, we don't fall into that, but it's just something to keep in mind.

Speaker 1:

Manage stress. Number three You've got to manage stress is what hormones respond to stress. So the only way you know your stress is because you're feeling the receptors of your hormones that have just been released. So if something triggers you, you read a letter in the mail, something happens in your life and you get that instant stress. It's because that's how fast hormones work. Your brain sends signals for the glands to release these stress hormones and you feel them in your body. You get tense, you get tight, your blood pressure goes up all these things you get hot. These are the things that end up happening with stress. So we need to manage this. Stress management techniques like conic stress causes cortisol levels to rise, like we talked about last week, which can interfere with sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. So practicing things like yoga, deep breathing, prayer and managed stress levels are really important to balance cortisol, which is the premise of most of the stress hormones that happen in the body.

Speaker 1:

We talked about mental health counseling as well. I think the stigma is gone from that. Mental health therapists are standard now. I think they're part of the culture and going to one doesn't mean you are psychotic or having an episode or anything like that. It could be for maintaining mental health wellness. I go once or twice a month. I try and go at least 12 times a year. I find that it's just someone else to talk to and I don't really deal with much mental issues or health issues. When it comes to that, I feel like it's a true wellness visit where we talk about life and how to manage it. I've learned a lot of skills over the years on how to manage my own stress levels, which is fantastic. So I think even mental health practitioners can go into that list as well.

Speaker 1:

Adequate sleep is how we manage stress. Naturally, aim for seven to nine hours of quality sleep. Sleep deprivation can throw hormone production off. This is why if we stay up late, we feel groggy in the mornings. It's particularly linked to stress and sex drive. Like cortisol, melatonin and testosterone. You start to throw these things all off. It has a trickle effect into other systems in your life as well.

Speaker 1:

Number four maintaining a healthy weight. Literature is pretty solid on this. Extreme dieting, so being overweight and underweight, can disrupt hormone production. But body fat plays a role in producing estrogen, so maintaining a healthy weight helps stabilize hormone levels. So being really really, really lean is very hard to maintain, first of all, but other you just don't have the stores to control hormone balance there as well. So avoid extreme caloric restrictions. So caloric restrictive diets are used in times of weight loss when we want to try and drop weight For healthy reasons. We are overweight or obese and we want to get our BMI down to a healthy range, or our body mass down to a healthy range or our fat percentage down to it. That is fine and it should be a short-term thing. But long-term, chronic under eating can lead to the reduction of testosterone, estrogen and negatively affect libido and reproductive health. So not good for the young people in their twenties and thirties to do this, because it can really make fertility difficult. So thinking about that Hormone supporting supplements, adaptogens Adaptogens you may or may not have heard of, but they're herbs like ashwagandha and maca root that can play and support hormonal balance by reducing stress and promoting reproductive health. So those are great Adaptogens. Omega-3 fatty acids come in again on here too. So using omega-3 or fish oils can reduce inflammation and support production of sex hormones.

Speaker 1:

And probiotics A healthy gut is linked to better hormone regulation, as the gut microbiome influences estrogen and testosterone levels as well. Fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi can all help, but again, the probiotic phase is pretty much dead in the literature. Just throwing a pill of probiotics into the gut every day has shown to have minimal effects for people that are trying to do anything really to help with overall health, to help with gut issues to help with leaky gut. It's been little. What the new frontier of literature is going through is actually looking at the gut microbiome through stool samples and actually mapping out the bacteria that we know and the viruses that we know and seeing that balance of what's high and what's low and then supplementing for the biome instead of just throwing probiotics in the body. So that needs a little bit of help. Finding a good functional medical doctor plays a huge role in gut health. There they're the leaders in gut health. There they're the leaders in gut health right now.

Speaker 1:

Limit exposure to endocrine disruptors. So minimizing plastic use. So endocrine disruptors are synthetic products, foods and products that we may get into our bodies. Chemicals like BPA found in plastics can mimic hormones and disrupt the body's natural balance. So choose glass or stainless steel over plastic containers. The plastic leaches into this. Now if you start thinking about how many things you have in plastic, you kind of be like oh man, my food's wrapped in plastic. My deli turkey comes in a plastic bag. This comes in a plastic, my cheese is coming. And then you're like man, there's plastic everywhere. Yes, you got to be careful with this. So trying to minimize that. Personal skincare products switch to natural skincare and household products to avoid chemicals like phthalates, parabens, that can interfere with hormone functions as well. This has been shown. They show up in cancer cells as well, so they're also carcinogenic. So you got to be careful with these chemicals that are out there and just choosing the right ones.

Speaker 1:

Get regular checkups. That's number seven. Monitor hormone levels in your wellness checkups. You got to sometimes fight for your health when it comes to your providers and when you go there, instead of just looking at red blood cells and white blood cells, looking at telling them, hey, can we also monitor at my hormones, can we? Can we take a look at the hormones and identify and address imbalances early, the earlier you do? Conditions like thyroid dysfunction, low testosterone or estrogen dominance can be addressed with lifestyle changes instead of medical intervention. At a younger age, once we need to start using medical intervention, we start playing the chemist, the wild, crazy chemist, the cartoon guy with the crazy air in the lab. That's what I always think about. Now you're playing with fire, so we want to try and catch these things before we need medical intervention.

Speaker 1:

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy isn't as bad as I made it sound a few minutes ago. It can be used as a medical treatment for some individuals, particularly during menopause or andropause. Bhrt bioidentical hormonal replacement therapy can help maintain healthy hormone levels. So they do play a role and just need a good doctor that works with hormones all the time and has helped many, many people in the past. Understand the cues and blood variances that you may have to help you specifically better. Does that make sense?

Speaker 1:

And then stay hydrated Hydration for hormone health. Drinking enough water ensures that the body's cellular processes, including hormone production and circulation, function optimally. 80% of everything in the body requires hydration. So pretty standard rule to stay hydrated. Alcohol and caffeine can definitely throw off our hormones. Excessive alcohol consumption can lower testosterone and disrupt estrogen levels. And caffeine the key here is moderation is key. Too much caffeine can raise cortisol, impacting sex hormones negatively over time. So again, that's some theories of the chronic coffee usage for around the world. Honestly, we drink a lot of coffee. The caffeine consumption is why maybe we're seeing younger and younger ages having trouble with fertility. Is because their sex hormones are just out of whack and they just can't get that chemistry connected and they're having difficulty getting pregnant. So that could be maybe one theory.

Speaker 1:

And number 10, maintain a healthy sex life. Frequent sexual activity is really important to maintaining hormonal balance, and that's kind of a catch-22, isn't it? Because once we start getting hormonal imbalances, we start to lose the libido, and then that reduces the hormone production, and then that lowers libido even more, and then the lower libido lowers the hormonal production even more. You see, you get into this negative feedback loop. So regular sexual activity can boost hormone levels, including oxytocin and testosterone, and help maintain a healthy libido and balance in the body. We'll dive into more of these, into more detail, with other doctors and professionals moving forward. This is going to be a really great series moving forward, of hormones and giving you a deeper understanding of how to take care of yourself, because you have to be your biggest advocate when it comes to your health.
