Untapped Podcast By Dave O'Brien Dave O'Brien

Testosterone! 
For years we'v heard people say that testosterone makes men aggressive and more violent. Yet, if this was the case then why do the plummeting levels of male testosterone in the modern man not result in less physical violence?
Testosterone for men is what defines us, it helps us to handle stress better, it keeps us more level headed and is the biggest factor that controls our emotional state. With the rise in male suicide in western countries like Australia, isn’t it time we brought the concerning aspects of low testosterone into the fore?
In This podcast Dave goes into the real things that are going to help us turn the castaway hormone around! 

Did you know that some of the biggest factors that block a protective protein that repairs our brain cells are things like sugar, stress and isolation. Separation from other people has such a negative impact on our biochemistry that it is has been used as punishment for centuries for prisoners.

Take our connections to our loved ones and our community away and you'll see depression, unrest, and further isolation. Take it away for long periods of time and we start to fall apart, both literally and figuratively.

To understand that the gut lining is the most protective physical barrier in the human body and when its structure deteriorates it creates a whole cascade of negative reactions. So if you thought the tissue in your gut was indestructible then think again!
It’s just type 1 collagen and just like other areas where we have connective tissue like muscles, tendons and ligaments we can very much damage it.
