Christopher Terzakos has some lessons to share. First, after a direct inguinal hernia, he rejected the surgical option and from personal experimentation was able to greatly reduce his hernia. Second, like many men his testosterone was low so he did thorough research into the reasons for low testosterone and managed to increase his testosterone by a factor of 10.

Correction: Also, I mentioned ginger is anticlotting... and while there is some research suggesting that might be true, the research is conflicting and it is not likely true. In all honesty I was thinking of Garlic when I said that.

We stayed away from anything that might be political so I'll link a couple videos by others here, they are topics to consider. I might make ranting videos about these later:

1) The injection of activism or "woke" concepts: Do they cause harm? How widespread is it? Does it take the focus away from learning?: https://youtu.be/2OfYjNXLlU0?si=XCSMu6ZmHRaoyEwo (America Uncovered)

2) Charter schools / school choice - Should be able to take government dollars and put them towards a private school?: https://youtu.be/lN8urWXJuYw?si=pTyfYiHT97QiQMhe (Stossel)

This video is about osteoarthritis and not an inflammatory arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis. I'm not saying that someone with arthritis isn't in pain. I'm not being dismissive of your pain. What I'm saying is the cause of your pain can be from other sources, not the age-related bony changes of osteoarthritis, which are commonly found in people without pain.

Maltodextrin is a food additive. It is a sweetener. It is composed of glucose molecules. There is some research suggesting it is bad for gut health. From what I can tell it isn't any worse than other sugars other than it is absorbed very very easily so spikes blood sugar. High sugar diets are bad for you in the long run, so diets high in maltodextrin will also be bad for you. The video goes through the claims found in: www.functionalmedicineuniversity.com/public/2017.cfm A review article connecting sugar diets to inflammatory bowel disease: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/apt.17720 I didn't get to the advantages of maltodextrin: glucose consumption helps with glucose reserve (glycogen) repletion in muscles which is why maltodextrin is sometimes included in workout supplements. I mentioned fructose briefly as well, saying fructose needs to be converted to glucose... which is a gross oversimplification... fructose is easier to convert to fatty acids and fructose consumption tends to restore glycogen in the liver, but not muscles. I'm thinking a video about pros and cons of each sugar may be a good follow-up.... I'll get to it eventually... probably.

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) like Prilosec, omeprazole, etc. are only FDA approved for SHORT TERM GERD relief. There may be situations when long term use is appropriate. Stopping suddenly can result in rebound acid reflux. Seek your doctor's help coming off long-term PPI use smoothly. Long term PPI use is associated with vitamin and mineral deficiencies and an increased risk of fractures. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557385/ www.cms.gov/medicare-medicaid-coordination/fraud-prevention/medicaid-integrity-education/pharmacy-education-materials/downloads/ppi-adult-factsheet11-14.pdf For more resources and information about myself and my services check out www.DrRamakko.com You can also search for my book on Amazon: "Pain is Not a Life Sentence: A Guide to Understanding and Eliminating Chronic Muscle, Joint, and Nerve Pain".

There is a stigma when talking about mental health. Jonathan might be a successful model and physical trainer now, but he's had ups-and-downs of all sorts: alcoholism, depression, body dysmorphia, etc... While he didn't immediately know how to deal with these issues, over the decades he has been working through them. I hope his story can help others.
