How can your hormone tests come back “normal,” but you feel terrible?

Your cells may not be SENSITIVE to the hormones in your blood.

Correcting nutritional deficiencies and strength training can increase your body's sensitivity to hormones and get you to feel right again.

But, if you begin to enjoy the PURSUIT of optimal health - pushing the rock up the mountain - you’re more likely to lead a fulfilling life. #Lovetheclimb

The story of Sisyphus continually pushing the rock up the mountain describes what your health journey should look like.

[Dr. Nick Belden @belden_nick]

Knowing full well that you’ll never achieve 100% optimal health - Sisyphus never reaches the top of the mountain.

Instead, find strategies and tactics that GIVE you energy, such as walking in nature, meditation, scripture reading, and prayer.

If exercise is your #1 stress management tool, that’s not ideal. That can lead to unhealthy relationships with exercise, which will only further add stress to your life.

High Testosterone in women is related to hair loss, but your body is NOT deficient in various herbs to treat high T. Address nutritional and lifestyle for blood sugar, muscle mass, and clean-ingredient personal care products, which’ll get you further than any herb.

The best thing I’ve done for my well-being is to develop an abundance mindset. It’s done more than any diet, supplement, or wearable device combined.

[Dr. Nick Belden @belden_nick]

It’s OKAY if you’re eating habits don’t fit any “diet”: Keto, Vegan, Whole30, etc

I - and plenty of people I work with - eat meat, carbs, and the occasional gluten, dairy and added sugars.

All with great health. Both subjectively and objectively.

Your nutritional approach when you’re trying to get rid of disease, can be different from the nutritional approach you have when you’re trying to maintain health.

I.E., You shouldn’t have to be hyper-vigilant on avoiding added-sugars forever.

[Dr. Nick Belden @belden_nick]

I wish probiotics were a panacea for gut health.

That would make my job so much easier.

But unfortunately it’s not that easy.

Take that $30-$50 you’d spend on a probiotic, and use it to try fruits and vegetables you’ve never tried.
