Are you feeling tired, depressed, and lacking libido? You might be experiencing low testosterone levels. Low testosterone can affect both men and women. But before you rush to the doctor for synthetic testosterone replacement therapy, listen to Dr. Stephen and Janet Lewis talk about the natural way to boost testosterone.
Products Mentioned in Today’s Show:
Nitric Oxide Revive represents an extended-release nitric oxide precursor. Scientists now refer to nitric oxide (NO) as the “foundation” of cardiovascular health. This tiny molecule is a vasodilator responsible for controlling blood flow to the entire body, which may help support healthy blood flow pressure and promote the health of the endothelium—the inside of blood vessels. With age comes diminished NO levels; that’s why since 1998, when three scientists won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of NO, researchers have been working to harness its heart-healthy activity. Today, with the application of extended-release technology, that activity has been realized with Nitric Oxide Revive.
Testo Essentials Max features two safe, clinically-tested, standardized, and patented ingredients designed to support vitality and general physical and mental well-being in men and women. Numerous studies have demonstrated that PrimaVie® shilajit and LJ100®Eurycoma longifolia support healthy androgen biosynthesis, which includes modulating the influence of sex hormone-binding globulin.†

SHOW NOTES:
Speaker 0 (00:00:01) – Welcome to the Green Wisdom Health Podcast with Dr. Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now here are your hosts, Dr. Steven and Janet Lewis.
Janet Lewis (00:00:18) – Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of the Green Wisdom Health Show. I’m Janet Lewis.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:00:24) – And I’m Dr. Lewis.
Janet Lewis (00:00:25) – And we are excited that you are here today listening to our testosterone podcast, because who doesn’t need testosterone? Apparently a lot of people are lacking testosterone, so that’s why Dr. Lewis wrote a book about it. But today, we are going to educate men and women about how to balance it naturally. I know people are used to getting patches and things, but we have a little bit different approach, don’t we, Dr. Lewis?
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:00:54) – Yeah. I’ve never thought that, uh, disease was a lack of a drug. And, you know, everybody’s got an opinion, but, uh, success leaves clues, but so does failure.
Janet Lewis (00:01:07) – Well, um, you know, I think there’s maybe some hormonal issues that go on that people don’t even realize or could be a testosterone issue, and they’re different for men and women. Uh, you know, usually you hear men saying, I need testosterone used to them getting pellets, or,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:01:25) – That started with Tim Allen going two the two men.
Janet Lewis (00:01:29) – Yeah. But why, why is that so rampant nowadays that the testosterone is low? I, I, you know, maybe that’s a better place to start.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:01:39) – You know, there, there are a lot of things, and, and it, it’s multifaceted. Well, our food is terrible. They’re genetically modified. And I know there’s some people say that doesn’t matter. Yes, it does. We’ve been to Europe and we’ve been to China. It does make a difference. The other thing is we have so many, uh, different things in our environment, 85,000 to a hundred thousand different chemicals that act like estrogen. And that’s why, and you’ve heard me say it many times before, little girls develop breast and menstrual cycle years before they’re supposed to. Little boys are getting more and more feminine. And if you hadn’t noticed that, you ain’t paying attention. And that’s why there’s, uh, an epidemic of, uh, low testosterone, only more low T clinics popping up and, you know, they’re getting, uh, whether it’s pellets or shots or whatever. But there, there are some real issues here, and that’s why it’s very important to, uh, increase your nutrient intake so that your body can ramp up.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:02:37) – Uh, the detoxification processes. We’ve, we’ve talked about that in the weight loss about, well, it is not just losing fat cells. You’ve got to deal with the, uh, toxins that are in there. And, and you have to be careful. And that’s why we talk about discerning spirit, because some people say, oh, I read this and, and it’s mercury, it’s mercury poisoning. I said, what are you gonna do about the other 85,000 things? And it, and it could be mercury poisoning if you’re taking, uh, high fructose corns syrup up, which is in all kinds of things hidden, you get a lot of mercury just from that. So, but there, there are other things to deal with. So why it, it’s because all these estrogen mimicking chemicals or estrogens, uh, are offsetting your testosterone as it offsets progesterone in a woman also,
Janet Lewis (00:03:26) – You know, and I think these, uh, clinics have been around long enough now that most people just think that’s a normal thing to do, is, um, to get those pellets or, or shots, because a lot of people are doing it and there’s a lot of clinics, but there are some side effects to that, right?
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:03:45) – Yep. Yeah. I tell people are, are, they come in and say, well, this isn’t working anymore. And, you know, I look at their lab and say, well, Jesus, your, your liver’s overwhelmed. And you know, I’m a chiropractor. I, I look at things from a musculoskeletal standpoint, but if you do the nutrients to fix your musculoskeletal system, you’d be surprised what else shows up to get well. And, and it’s like, I know I had this idea that there is a God, I know that’s kind of unusual for some people. Uh, and so we tell people, when your heart’s overwhelmed, we will help you fill it with peace. And then the other thing is, you know, I’m a little bit blunt and I tell people, stop eating crap. And they say, well, no, I eat good. And no you don’t. Crap stands for carbonated drinks, refined sugars, artificial foods, and processed foods. There. I’ve got a zillion patients and I absolutely love. But then you’ve got Alan up in Maine, and he sends me stuff from time to time. He says, well, I haul goldfish, but I don’t eat ’em. . And Alan, you bring joy to my heart. You really do. And a lot of other people too. But, uh, here’s a guy that hauls him in his truck, but he’s smart enough not to eat him.
Janet Lewis (00:05:05) – Well, that’s funny. I didn’t know that’s what he did. So that’s,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:05:09) – Oh, at one time, at least , .
Janet Lewis (00:05:12) – But you know, I, I think we’ve all been so conditioned to, we will just take a drug or put, put something in our body to replace what’s, what seems to be missing. Didn’t God give us all that we needed there?
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:05:25) – Well, I think so, but it’s not in our food is the problem. And, and you know, I understand some of the things I say are controversial, and sometimes I say it in a manner that’s not always polite. I tell people, you want me to shoot straight or sugar coat it? If you want sugar coated, you need to get some donuts. And here’s the thing I want you to think about. Depression is not an s sri deficiency. Heart disease is not a statin deficiency. Diabetes is not a metformin deficiency. A d d and a ADHD is not an Adderall deficiency. Insomnia is not an ambient deficiency, and obesity is not an ozempic deficiency. Okay, that’s blunt, isn’t it? Sorry, I’m, I’m gonna put a package of sugarcoated donuts on my desk just to have people think, uh, or question. But I want you to think about these things and, and always use your discerning spirit because this is Dr. Lewis’s opinion. But as I said earlier, success leaves clues pay attention to who’s successful.
Janet Lewis (00:06:28) – Well, and I think one thing, um, you know, low testosterone symptoms in male are, you know, obviously low libido and erectile dysfunction, but
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:06:38) – Which is rampant.
Janet Lewis (00:06:40) – But did you know when you start? Well, you probably do if you’re doing it. If when you start taking something, something to replace testosterone, aren’t your testicle shrink up too, Dr. Lewis? Yeah. Isn’t that where it’s made and they don’t need, they’re not needed anymore. Yeah.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:06:58) – Uh, it’s called lad cells. And that’s from 40 years ago. I took the test . Anyway. Yes, they do, but they, they shrink. If you get your testosterone shots and or your pellets, and the testicles say, well, we’ve got plenty of, uh, testosterone, we’ll just, uh, kind of hang around, pun intended, uh,
Janet Lewis (00:07:18) – And men don’t really like that. Also kind of makes ’em have some bald patches on the back of their head. I’ve noticed that too. It’s like their hair starts leaving a little bit faster and it should have
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:07:28) – Got, you know, and Janet says, I have here in the hospital, I didn’t hear her say that. I thought she said, ball patches. So nevermind , you know, our, our goal and, and I’m in a real smart lic mood and people say, well, what else is new? You know, our goal is to die, but die as healthy as we can, as late as we can in a much younger body.
Janet Lewis (00:07:51) – Yeah. We wanna look good with hair, right?
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:07:54) – ? Yeah. I asked Janet, is my hair thinning? She says, oh, heck no. Quit worrying about it.
Janet Lewis (00:07:59) – And I’m not, and I’m not picking on them, man. I’m just telling you that these are some things that are caused by, uh, synthetic. Um, well,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:08:08) – But you, you gotta get started. You, you’ve got to change your oil before the engine catches on. Fire starts smoking. Usually by the time people seek help from me, it’s like, why didn’t you do what I told you two 15 years ago? Now it’s too late.
Janet Lewis (00:08:23) – Yeah. Other signs of, uh, low testosterone in men are hot flashes. Yeah. You mean like women, they get hot flashes as
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:08:32) – Well. It’s power surge baby. Mm. .
Janet Lewis (00:08:35) – I didn’t know if we got to share that little fun thing. Yeah.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:08:38) – Well, maybe I’ll put that in the wrong column in the book. I don’t know. ,
Janet Lewis (00:08:44) – Uh, how about depression? Depression is low. Testosterone,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:08:50) – It can be a lot of things. And that’s another thing I I really plan to write a book about stress, anxiety, and depression. Uh, because it’s really rampant. And here, here’s, I made a note here. This was in 2010, so it’s a while back, uh, 45% of the workers surveyed were happy at their jobs. That means 55% hate it. And that those are the people that say, I’m retired and I’m happy. And it’s like, I can’t retire because I love what I do. Every year, the threshold of unhappiness sinks lower and lower and lower. And 50 years ago, the mean onset age of depression was at 29.5 years of age. Now that’s pretty Dad come young, that’s 50 years ago. Today, the onset, the mean onset of depression is at 14.5. So young teenagers are depressed at a much, much greater rate. Well, does that correspond with the lowering of testosterone? You know, 50 years ago, or since 50 years ago, our sperm count has gone down by 50%. Our, our our testosterone’s gone way, way, way down. So I think there’s a obvious correlation, and I don’t think that’s everything in the equation, but it’s, to me, pretty obvious that’s a big, big part of it.
Janet Lewis (00:10:15) – So, um, and they also gain weight, correct. And body fat is that because their testosterone is low? And when that low their metabolism slows down? , you know,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:10:24) – I just sucked in my stomach when she said that
Janet Lewis (00:10:27) – She’s asking a question.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:10:30) – Uh, that’s part of it. Yeah. Because, you know, we’ve got a weight loss program and, and we’ve had, most people have had really, really good success, except the ones that say, well, I went to here and got this ice cream treat, and oh, well, I had pizza to celebrate and, and set ’em back three weeks. Uh, yes, yes, yes. Absolutely. I I you’ve got to do 95% good. You, you can’t do well, I only cheat once a day with a bagel or with, you know, wheat’s the worst thing you can put in your body. I’d rather you drink beer cause it’s barley and hops. And I’m not suggesting you do that.
Janet Lewis (00:11:09) – And you made a nutrient based eating, uh, book. I mean, the book’s based on testosterone performance. Correct. And it’s nutrient based to help, to help build testosterone.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:11:20) – Well, yeah, there’s the key, you know, and I’ll tell you, our foods are very nutrient, uh, deficient, but most of our food is fake food. And you, if you eat the recipes in the book, people say, oh my God, I feel better mentally. Oh my God, I feel better physically. Oh my God, I have energy all of a sudden. Oh my God, my wife thinks I’m better looking. I said, that’s cause you’re not grouchy, which is one of the symptoms of low testosterone and you get irritable.
Janet Lewis (00:11:48) – Hmm. Does that go for a woman as as well? They get irritable.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:11:52) – Uh, if a man’s smart, he would never say .
Janet Lewis (00:11:56) – Uh, okay, well, we’re not done with men here.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:11:59) – So, so men, if your wife ask you, here’s, here’s Dr. Lewis’s answer, life is so much easier if you’re drunk. I’m just teasing . What,
Janet Lewis (00:12:09) – What I always tell men when they ask about low testosterone, I tell ’em, well, do you still have the endurance you used to have? Like, you wanna get up and do something? Or is your whole goal for the day is to sit in the re in the rocking chair or the recliner with the remote and change the channels. And that’s your activity is pushing the buttons go
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:12:28) – From bed to, uh, the recliner to take a nap. You know, it, think about this. This is, this is aism. Have you ever thought that humans are the only animal on earth that needs to be taught what to eat or what foods to eat to keep themselves healthy? And that’s because things have been bastardized. Oh, well that’s a tough word, isn’t it? We have been conditioned in a bad way to eat incorrectly. A normal diet is not what a normal diet was when I was a kid. And not that it was necessarily good then, but it was way, way, way better.
Janet Lewis (00:13:07) – Are you talking about cooking at home or the food in general? The normal diet?
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:13:13) – Yes. Yes. Mm-hmm. , well, you know, highly processed foods are full of, eh, don’t get me into the, the three letter agencies that say it’s okay not to put in, uh, a warnings about these hydrogenated oils that are inflammatory. No wonder things are inflamed, which has to do with the weight gain. It has to do with lowering of testosterone. And, and so yeah, if you eat out, you’re eating all these processed foods, and if you’re eating in, you need to make sure that you’re cooking better. And that, and that’s what the book’s about is learning to eat better. And we don’t put in what you shouldn’t eat. It’s just glaringly omitted and what you should eat rather than what you shouldn’t.
Janet Lewis (00:13:59) – So if they start eating correctly or eating nutrient based eating, that’s not a diet really. It’s nutrient based eating to, to replace the things that are low with testosterone. Right? It’s the foods that would give you those vitamins and minerals, I guess.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:14:15) – Yeah. The, the, the basics for that. And, you know, you’ve got to unlearn some of these stupid things that society has been conditioned to think. You know, if you tell a lot long enough, loud enough, people begin to believe it. Apparently people didn’t learn that with Hitler in World War ii, but, you know, just to unlearn, cholesterol is a very, very powerful antioxidant. Cholesterol heals inflammation, but that’s why it’s plaing. You gotta lower the inflammation. Cholesterol heals arterial damage. Well, you need to lower the arterial inflammation in the first place. Cholesterol’s needed for hormones. Ah, testosterone. Those of you that’s doing something stupid. Oh no, that’s a wrong word. Doing something to lower your cholesterol. Guess what? It can’t make, you can’t make testosterone. Mm-hmm. Cholesterols needed to produce serotonin. That’s why people that lower their cholesterol artificially serotonin’s one of the happy hormones that makes you feel happy and the peace of God.
Janet Lewis (00:15:17) – That’s interesting. They’d give you medications that would help lower those things.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:15:21) – It’s a 30 to $50 billion, uh, a year business. It’s all about the money, isn’t it, honey?
Janet Lewis (00:15:28) – I don’t know. It’s almost like they don’t want births or something. I,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:15:32) – I just want y’all to think, folks, you don’t have to believe what I say, but if you think about it and you’re halfway have a little bit of common sense, you’ll know that I’m
Janet Lewis (00:15:41) – Discernment. Mm-hmm.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:15:42) – , oh my God. Let’s get biblical,
Janet Lewis (00:15:45) – Uh, enlarged male breast tissue
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:15:50) – .
Janet Lewis (00:15:51) – That happens to be one of my favorite subjects.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:15:54) – I’m gonna let you tell that story. But, you know, fat cells produce estrogen if, if, and even in men. And the more fat you have, it’s like, well, you’re producing estrogen. Why you’re, you’re lowering your testosterone. So Janet has a really good story about male breast, .
Janet Lewis (00:16:13) – Um, so I happened to be at a area where they were serving drinks and went up to it and I was,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:16:23) – She sugarcoating this and ask the,
Janet Lewis (00:16:27) – The bartender wanted to know if he could get me a light beer. And I said, oh no. I said, you don’t drink light beer, do you? And he said, oh yeah, you know, he said, that’s, that’s the most popular beer on tap. And I said, you do know that that creates estrogen because of the estro estrogen mimics and light beer,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:16:52) – The way they filter it Yes. Puts more plastics in it.
Janet Lewis (00:16:55) – It’s, it’s worse than dark beer. And he goes, oh, dark beer’s not good. I said, well, you’re gonna get man breast from it. Which
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:17:03) – He looked down and grabbed his breast .
Janet Lewis (00:17:07) – And I said, you don’t want your son, cuz I know he had a son. I said, you don’t want him knowing that you need a bra, do you? And he said, again,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:17:15) – He, he brought his breast up close and he
Janet Lewis (00:17:18) – Goes, well, what do you drink? And I, and I said, well, not light beer. I said, if you’re gonna do it, the darker the better cuz it has a less estrogen mimickers in it
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:17:28) – And it more nutrients.
Janet Lewis (00:17:30) – And it was probably six months later, I came across him again. And as soon as I walked up to him, he goes, I quit light beer. I don’t drink it anymore. He goes, after that story you told, he said, I can’t do it. And I said, well,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:17:44) – Out of thousands of customers he remembered Jan. And I’m sure it was just about the beautiful smile. So
Janet Lewis (00:17:49) – That was one of the best things Bud Light could have done, is get everybody to quit drinking that beer. Cause now they’ll have less estrogen . And if her boobs starts shrinking, I mean, if they’re, if you’re, if a man’s breast are large enough that they need a bra, there may be something they’re having this estrogen mimicking. Yeah.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:18:08) – So,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:18:09) – And you know, the reason we do this is because life gets way more precious when you figure out there’s less of it to waste. And somebody told me, he said, Dr. Lewis, you’re on the short end of the stick. I said, what are you talking about? He said, well, you’ve kind of wasted most of your life. I said, I’ve lived most of my life, but I sure as heck hadn’t wasted it. We’re having fun and we’re blessing other people. And that’s the key to happiness is, you know, give it to somebody else and it comes back multiplied.
Janet Lewis (00:18:37) – And you wonder why that doesn’t work on women, though if they drink light beer, why don’t their breasts get bigger? Their whole body gets
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:18:44) – Bigger. Maybe they do. So here’s the thing to a woman, don’t let any man who drinks white claw raise his voice at you. You talk to him, woman to woman. . . Okay, sorry, . I’m
Janet Lewis (00:18:59) – Gonna go pick on women for a while.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:19:00) – That was funny. We’ve
Janet Lewis (00:19:01) – Probably done enough
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:19:03) – damage,
Janet Lewis (00:19:05) – Low testosterone symptoms in women. And all the men are like, oh yes, please fix her. It’s gonna just raise her testosterone. She’s going to want sex again. And the women always shake their head at me while he’s not looking and go, no, no,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:19:20) – I just want a good night’s sleep. Yeah, I know.
Janet Lewis (00:19:22) – That’s exactly right. So there’s other things, women that you need testosterone for. Uh, one of ’em is actually depression. Just like men. They actually, with low testosterone, you, they get very depressed. Uh, fatigue. You’re more tired because your testosterone’s too low.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:19:42) – If she’s fatigued, man, you need to get your butt up there and wash dishes. That’s the sexiest pose you’ll ever make after you’re married. Wash dishes.
Janet Lewis (00:19:49) – And don’t grab ’em from behind, you know, whatever that picture is.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:19:52) – . Yeah. You know what men do? The woman, nevermind . Sorry, I digress. Just wash
Janet Lewis (00:19:57) – The dishes. Let us sit.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:20:02) – Oh. Oh, I’m having too much fun. I know.
Janet Lewis (00:20:05) – Muscle weakness. That means they’re, I guess they’re not as strong as they need to be because they’re losing, losing muscle mass because
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:20:11) – Test men. Men and women. Yeah, absolutely.
Janet Lewis (00:20:14) – Women can actually get thinning hair. They always think it’s their thyroid. Sometimes it’s not.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:20:20) – It can be thyroid. That’s right. It could be poor digestion, poor protein utilization. But you know, low testosterone can do it.
Janet Lewis (00:20:27) – Which is what, when all the women say, well, which lab test should I get? Just make sure it includes thyroid. Well, that’s always in our comprehensive panel. I said, but you need the other hormones of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, d h e eight. No, I don’t need any of that. Uh, yeah, you do.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:20:45) – If you need what you needed, you know, why are you here?
Janet Lewis (00:20:47) – Right. It’s, it’s not just thyroid. Believe me. Difficulty concentrating can be a low testosterone,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:20:55) – What’d you say?
Janet Lewis (00:20:57) – I don’t know.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:20:57) – .
Janet Lewis (00:20:59) – And, uh, actually reduced vaginal lubrication is a, is a low testosterone issue also. And or progesterone can be progesterone as well.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:21:10) – And it can be estrogen and you know, or, you know, estrogen has to be conjugated in the liver. You know, it can get to be, there’s good estrogen and bad estrogen, so you need to pay attention to that and make sure there’s good liver function conjugation, good probiotics to take care of that so it doesn’t get unconjugated in your smaller intestine reabsorbed and, uh, potentially cause cancer.
Janet Lewis (00:21:33) – And we’re gonna talk about a few of the lab tests that are different than what you’re used to having, um, from your doctor. But first I wanted Dr. Lewis to talk about a product that men and women can both take that helps increase their testosterone. And we actually had a man that was doing pellets that tried the new, our new Testo Essentials Max to see what it did in, in relation to his pellets. And he said it actually gave him longer stamina. He noticed that the,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:22:08) – We’re talking about at work, I’m sure.
Janet Lewis (00:22:09) – Yes. Work, work .
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:22:12) – Oh, you believe that,
Janet Lewis (00:22:13) – Right. . But he said he, he could tell he’s actually something natural helped better than the pellets for him. So, um, could you tell us what Tesla Essentials Max is? Why you like it so much?
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:22:27) – Well, I like it, but uh, , it
Janet Lewis (00:22:29) – Gives me a lot of energy.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:22:31) – Yeah. Well, let me, let me digress and tell another story. There’s this guy that comes in and, and he, we grew up in the same town, although he’s like four years older than me, which makes him in his seventies. And he says, oh my God, that costs too much. I said, it’s cheaper than dinner in a movie. Shut up and take it. And, and again, I’ve known this guy all my life and I love him dearly. And, uh, he comes back and, and tells us things that, you know, Jim, you shouldn’t be talking like that in front of Janet, uh, about all of his girlfriends and going into the gory tmi. Too many details. Teo Essentials maxes. Oh, like, oh my God, it’s got something in it called Shiloh. Yeah, I had to look that up so I could pronounce it correctly. But it’s uh, it’s, it’s kind of an, a biomass from the Himalayan Mountains. It’s a, a naturally occurring mineral rich, phyto complex, uh, basically fulvic acid. And, uh,
Janet Lewis (00:23:29) – He is really . There’s no, the, the sound didn’t cut out. He’s looking for his next sentence. That’s been
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:23:36) – Interesting. I’m trying to be polite. Uh, it, it helps with, uh,
Janet Lewis (00:23:41) – And he’s red. You can’t see him. I’m, he
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:23:47) – It
Janet Lewis (00:23:47) – Helps with what
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:23:49) – Yes, . Yeah, it does.
Janet Lewis (00:23:53) – You can tell part of a story on someone else.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:23:58) – Well, you kind of danced around your bar story too. .
Janet Lewis (00:24:03) – I’m just saying that we had a, a gentleman that started taking this and his wife told us, doc, there are things I ain’t seen in years on him. So he,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:24:15) – He’s waking up in the morning with things I hadn’t seen in years. And I said, send me chocolates to say thank you. Sense.
Janet Lewis (00:24:23) – Go ahead with your ingredients.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:24:25) – Uh, well, you know, the, the, it helps with testosterone levels and it’s adaptogenic. So it helps you with stress to help, uh, adapt. It’s an antioxidant, it’s a cytokine balancing. And cytokine storm is one of the things that contributes to cancer. Uh, and other things. It blocks towel proteins. That means you’re not going to build those things up in your brain and have as much dementia, Alzheimer’s, uh, tendency. Uh, it is rumor to have a role in supporting cognition. And I know I need that genetically. Uh, we, we, my brother Dr. James Lewis and I helped put off, uh, dementia in my mother over 25 years. And then Janet came on the scene and my mother do anything for Janet and she didn’t get to, she had dementia in her early to mid sixties and she, it didn’t really kick her butt till about 88 to 92. And it’s because she took a lot of, uh, really, really good supplements to support her brain health. And the shallow sheet helps with that. And then it’s got something called, uh, your ucom, long glia Just Men Remember the word long? It’s a Malaysian gen sing and it’s a tonic and adaptogen helps support libido, energy, sports performance. Well, you could call that a sport, couldn’t you? ? How,
Janet Lewis (00:25:49) – How many of these do you take per day, sir?
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:25:52) – Oh, the dosages two. But you know, if your wife ain’t watching
Janet Lewis (00:25:58) – Oh yeah, I know. They’re all like more better. I’ve been there for a day and I’m, I’m like, you’re, it’s made for a month. Supply it too. And,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:26:05) – And, and, and people say it’s expensive. I said, well, it’s cheaper than pellets in your butt. .
Janet Lewis (00:26:11) – Well, you might as well while you’re on a roll, talk about our other product that also
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:26:18) –
Janet Lewis (00:26:18) – Mostly men. Like,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:26:19) – Well, I’m on a roll because I have the stamina to pull it off. Uhhuh . Oh, Tim Allen too, man. Uh, oh, let me, let me digress a little bit while I’m having fun.
Janet Lewis (00:26:30) – I didn’t know we weren’t .
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:26:33) – Uh, you know, the way testosterone is made is through it. It starts out in the brain. The hypothalamus in the brain then goes through the pituitary gland. Uh, so when they say it’s all in your head, oh, nevermind. Let’s go to nitric oxide. Revive. This is good, good, good, good, good. When I take it regular, it lowers my blood pressure because it helps with, uh, uh, vascularity or, or the flexibility of the arteries and veins. So if it’s more flexible and it opens up and relaxes more, you know, bigger pipe means lower pressure. So that one reason why it, uh, helps promote the health of the endothelial lining, which is the inside of the blood vessels. And, you know, there was a Nobel Prize for the discovery of nitric oxide. And guys, if you wanna know about nitric oxide, that’s why Viagra works. Okay. So it’s got, excuse me, it’s got the, the time released L Arginine, which
Janet Lewis (00:27:39) – Is, which is the difference. Usually they’re not time released. Right? Yeah.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:27:42) – Cause L Arginine will be in and out in about, uh, 20, 30 minutes. But if it’s time released, Jenny Sugar head on that,
Janet Lewis (00:27:48) – All his wording today is very interesting.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:27:51) – Well, I don’t know what your cognition is, honey. How do you, how do you interpret that? But it’s time. So it lasts more than 20 or 30 minutes. Uh, the effect of it, um, it, it’s really, really good. You know, as I said, helps with the endothelial, uh, uh, health of the blood vessel. It inhibits the smooth muscle contraction. Cause your arteries and veins really have muscles in ’em. So that increases blood flow and increases. Oh, increased blood flow means increased nutrient uptake and glucose utilization in the muscle, especially during exercise. Now, Janet’s brother is a oh oh oh macho man and he loves this stuff cause he likes to work out and it’s like, yeah, I just get tired. I don’t work out. But I’m very, very active. He loves this stuff cause
Janet Lewis (00:28:42) – He’s, I think he got all my testosterone, I think he got his and mine, but
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:28:48) – , yeah, something like that. So the nitric oxide revive just goes hand in hand with the Testo Essentials max, which really and truly I think everybody should be on D H E A, we’re not really gonna go there. Cause D H E A is the precursor to not just testosterone, but uh, it has responsibilities to help fix about 150 different, uh, things in the brain, in the body. So, you know, this is a pretty well put together package. So when I said it starts in the head hypothalamus pituitary gland, then it goes to the testicles, then it goes into the latic cells, and then it creates testosterone, which has a biofeedback mechanism to go back to the hypothalamus or the brain. So it’s a, it’s a pretty comprehensive and complex thing, but you don’t have to worry about it. Just throw these things in, you know, ask God to bless it and your body’s gonna use it for good. It really will.
Janet Lewis (00:29:45) – We were going to go into a little more detail about the different lab panels, but we’ve had so much fun explaining testosterone. Uh,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:29:52) – I thought we was, I thought we was talking about dark beer
Janet Lewis (00:29:55) – . We don’t really have time to go into ’em individually, but just know that, um, there’s more to it than what your doctor is running for testosterone levels. They generally just run testosterone. Um, there is something called free, right, Dr. Lewis, that’s very important to that. Yeah.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:30:15) – You know, how much do you have total doesn’t mean much unless you have a, an adequate amount of free, which goes into the sex hormone binding globulin. You don’t need to understand the process, you just need to know that Janet and I do.
Janet Lewis (00:30:29) – But there’s ex there’s also other test and we’re specifically talking about our testosterone Performance lab panel. You can see all the test markers on our website@greenwisdomhealth.com. But it’s got things like sex hormone binding globulin, follicular stimulating hormone, which is fs h lutin hormones. Um, and then it also has a prostate PSA on there. So, um, there’s different parts of the, the male profile that you probably have never seen on lab. So that’s, um, we’re pretty excited about that. It goes along with Dr. Lewis’s nutrient based eating program. And then we also now offer a 90 day bootcamp to kickstart you right into all this working way faster than you just trying to do it on your own. We have health coaching now available as well with it. Um, you get a copy of Dr. Lewis’s book and then, um, we hold your hand. It’s a white glove treatment for 90 days so you can get the results that you’re looking for. But Dr. Lewis, sadly, we are at the end of this show. So would you like to leave us with any other words than what you’ve already left us with
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:31:43) – , something that’s not smart. LIC is what I heard. , I think from now on we’re going to put a warning on our podcast and say that our podcast on this, you know, may cause you to have original thoughts and to develop and have questioning your programmed and, and indoctrinated thinking. You know, because I want you to think so that you can be healthier. And the thing about it is we have a lot of fun, maybe too much. Some people say, but think about this for just a minute. If speaking kindly to plants help them grow, can you imagine what speaking kindly to other humans could do?
Janet Lewis (00:32:22) – And that rap star show you guys, if you don’t know where to start, go to our website, green wisdom health.com, fill out the health survey. It will help guide you to a lab panel. It will also help guide you to us. And Dr. Lewis will call you, talk to you and discuss with you how we can help you with your health goals. We hope you guys have a blessed week. We’ll be here next time on the Green Wisdom Health Show.

Natural Solutions to Remedy Pain
00:00:01 – 00:05:00
Welcome to the green wisdom health podcast, with doctor Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now, here are your hosts doctor Steven and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of the green wisdom health show. I’m Janet Lewis. And I’m doctor Lewis. And we are here to bring you an exciting show about pain. Doesn’t everybody like pain? Actually, we’re going to bring you to show about natural solutions to remedy pain. Now that sounds better, doesn’t it? Anyway, we are very excited and blessed to be able to bring you some new options to our office. We have all been working diligently on per the past few months. I know you’ve not heard a podcast from us for a while. So we are back, we have been busy, doctor Lewis, the most busy, but it takes all of us to put it together. Doctor Lewis has been in the middle of creating a bunch of books and one of them is on pain. So doctor Lewis, would you like to tell us a little bit about what you’ve been doing? Well, I used to recommend so many different books and in January says Stephen quit recommending those Rachel book. It’s like, I don’t want to write my book. So anyway, we had to develop my answer to that was yes, ma’am. Whatever you want, ma’am. But we want you to know it’s really an honor and responsibility for when you come to us for a so called natural solution to common ailments. And I get in a lot of controversy by saying, well, your body’s made by God, and it knows what to do. It just needs the tools to work with. So we have developed a what I would call a very ingenious program, but then that would sound like I’m bragging on myself and really and truly Janet’s name should be on this book more than me. But we’re going to talk a lot about what you should do. And you know, as a chiropractor, I started out with musculoskeletal conditions with all my patients and they would say, and I’d say, well, you need this supplement you need that supplement. So your body can, you know, it’s going to decrease the inflammatory cytokines, et cetera, et cetera, and some of them say, but I like tacos, and it’s like, yeah, well, you need to do something different or people say, well, I have fibromyalgia, it’s like, well, I can teach you to eat differently. So this is we have programs now that we’re getting some phenomenal success with because it teaches you how to eat and it’s not a book about what not to eat. It’s about what a and we make it simple where it’s you have the grocery list. It’s easy to prepare. And they’re actually super delicious. You feel healthy after you eat these things. So we’ve got a lot to say, sorry, I only had 30 minutes to say it. I was going to say, what is food have to do with pain? Everything. Just asking. Well, if you’re in chronic pain and you’ve tried all these things, including chiropractic care, physical therapy massage acupuncture stretching over the counter, pain relief medicine. Supplements it didn’t work and you have to be careful because there’s a huge difference in quality there. If you try to diet, it’s like, not the right one. If you’re trying medication, steroid injections and some of my patients that they’d go for back surgery and they said, well, that $100,000 back surgery didn’t work. And I said, well, you’ve never done anything for what’s causing the inflammation in the first place. So that’s what food has to do with it. So if you’re eating incorrectly and then you’re just taking over the counter medications to cover it up, you’re never going to really fix it, right? And there’s plenty of research that says, you know, if you take these over the counter NSAIDs, so to speak, you’re actually speeding up the joint degeneration. And pain’s not necessarily all from joints. There’s muscle pain, nerve pain, joint pain, et cetera, et cetera, lack of neurotransmitter pain, the neurotransmitters, is fancy way of saying the happy hormones. And that’s what I address very specifically is how to eat correctly which foods are high in this nutrient that nutrient, which can help you create neurotransmitters, which can help you, oh, where’s the highest level of tyrosine so that can help with thyroid conversion because when we do lab work about three out of four people out there have a thyroid issue. And we do have a new pain panel now. So people that have been following this forever, we really do appreciate you. We know there’s been a lot of changes, but we’ve made changes to lab also. We still have those labs that we had, but we also have specific labs based on doctor Lewis’s new books.
00:05:01 – 00:10:02
So we’re going to go through different ones, but our first one is about pain. So the pain lab has over 60 plus biomarkers in it. He developed it based on the different things in the body so that we could see, I guess, in a blood based level. Different angles to see I tell people, well, if I’ll roads lead to Rome, you know we’re going to Rome, let’s Mike Rome, a happy fun place, but you have to feel good to have all that kind of fun. And we’ve been honored to have so many people that’s done our program before we have a YouTube video that’s coming from Kara up in Indiana. She’s an absolute doll. And she’ll tell you about weight loss and decrease the pain. And then we have one from Vicky down sugarland, down around Houston. She’s a sweetheart. And we have others that have given us video reviews and I invite you to go to YouTube and listen to some of these. So what we’ve done, we’ve come up with our pain panel, and then doctor Lewis takes it and analyzes it and figures out what’s the very best plan for you. Based on the lab, we can now and I know you guys have been waiting for this and we’re really excited about it. We could make personalized packs for you. You don’t have to buy bottles any longer. You can still buy bottles, but we have them individualized for you based on the lab and their packs and their two packs a day. Their morning in the evening or daily. However you do it, but it’s twice a day. You take the recommended supplements that doctor Lewis puts in these personalized packs for you. And since it’s so convenient, even I’m taking three times more supplements than I used to because I didn’t have to graze with this bottle of that bottle. And oh my God, I feel good, Janet says, you know, you’re way too young and energetic for me and it’s like, well, I’m not getting a younger woman because the music begins to really stink when you get younger than what Janet is. But the point is that these packs make it so easy, so convenient. You feel kind of sort of obligated to know what other I’ve taken in the morning when I need to take the afternoon. And you’re getting more down and I’m telling you, your body, I know it’s designed by God, but it needs something to work with. You need nutrients that are not in our food and you’ve heard me talk about that many, many times, and we just saw a thing this morning on television that said it’s getting worse. The lack of nutrients in the food. So basically, we’ve been trying this out for a few months on some different patients and some different programs and seeing how they do with the packs because we don’t want to put anything out there until we know and we see results and we see what’s working and what’s not. So basically I can tell you there’s a lot of men that take a lot of things the right way and bottles. But in general, our man patients don’t like opening bottles and taking out pills every day. Most of them have really good wives that do it for them. I’ve heard. But if these are convenient enough to just grab twice a day, they are more apt to stick with it like doctor Lewis said they are. And I can tell you from the men we’ve had doing the packages with us. That is the one thing they say. They say, I’m not always right, but I take my pills twice a day and they’re doing it now for like three months straight, so I’m thinking, well this is pretty good, pretty good change for people because that’s what’s happened in the past is like, we’ll give people a program a lab program. They’re excited. They get a month or maybe two months of the supplements and then they kind of fall off because it is a lot of work to be healthy. Well, you have to change habits and that’s the hard part is not succumbing to your fear and doubt and going back into the same thing that got you in the bad situation. So I asked people many times two questions. Number one, are you a teachable spirit? Number two, are you willing to give up the thing that got you in this bad situation in the first place? But these books are not about giving up. It’s about what to do instead of what to give up. And so it’s more encouraging and more positive. Right. The other part of the package is doctor Liz’s book. He has a pain book, but their recipes and their easy recipes are made in under 30 minutes or less. The food is inexpensive. There is weekly shopping list in it. Well, relatively considered the times in society. We’re expensive, but it’s the least expensive. You don’t have to buy a specialty foods is what we’re trying to say. That’s not Caviar. And it’s not about it’s not about a diet. It’s about nutrient based eating. So it’s based on what’s wrong on your lab.
00:10:02 – 00:15:01
The whole goal is that you take less supplements down the road because you’ve learned to change how you eat. And I think to get the nutrients out of your food. Right, I think you’ll have to agree we don’t really know how to eat. So that’s what we’re trying to teach. Well, how to eat as much different than it was when I was a kid. No, no, I’m super, super young, but back when I was a kid, they wouldn’t let you have but one starch per meal which now we call them carbohydrates. So we teach you things like, well, if you have a problem with your thyroid hormone and you need iodine, which helps benefit TSH production, while you find out the top whole food sources is card cranberries and seaweed if it’s tyrosine for TSH production, it’s beef pork and salmon. And now if you’re talking about cortisol and who doesn’t have a cortisol problem, it goes super, super high, because you’re stressed and you can’t shut your brain down and not. And then it finally fatigues, and it goes downhill big time well. You need vitamin B three, which you don’t hear much about, which is about cortisol production and energy. You get that mostly from tuna chicken and pork chops. B 5, B 5 has been called by one of my favorite preachers that has done the video review. He said, it’s the piece of God in the bottle. That helps with cortisol production, energy, and that’s from shiitake mushroom, salmon, and avocado. And you know, we teach you these things. And it’s a pretty relatively easy to read and read book. But more than that, it’s easy to understand. And the other part of it is that we also have a certified health coach. We actually have several health coaches that are working with us now. We have a whole team of people that are helping us. So the redneck word is concierge nutrition team. Oh, great. Is that right? We never heard that in these Texas. I don’t know. If that’s right. Basically, you just take pictures of your food and you send it to our health coach team and they help you figure out what you could change, what’s best for you because you know some people can eat some kinds of foods and that bothers them and some don’t and you don’t ever know until you get into it, but the coach is there to help you through all of that. They see what you’re taking or what you’re eating, what symptoms you’re having because of what you’re eating, how to change what you’re having, and the good thing with the programs are three month programs as you move along through the program, they supplements can get changed monthly. They come in 30 day supplies. But if the coach feels like, hey, you know, you’re not doing well on this program. We need to change it over to one of the other books that doctor Lewis has is the gut protocol or the thyroid protocol. Right. You can change those products as you go so that you get the best results. So we’re pretty excited about that. Those of you that are in pain and pain almost always goes with stress anxiety and depression and can you imagine? That is interesting. That pain goes with stress, anxiety and depression. Or maybe stress anxiety and depression cause pain. It can go either direction. You never think about that. Can you imagine for a minute? I want you to really, really think about this. Can you imagine for a minute you’re on the program for three weeks in you call me crying? It’s first time in my life. I felt like I’ve been hard is the first time in my life. I’ve gotten up and have energy and I look forward to going to my job or seeing my husband or interacting with my kid because my kids need my time. This is after we’re hearing things like this after three weeks and course brings tears to my eyes because they’re crying and I’m pretty sensitive. Janice says I’m the female and the relationship. I’m very sensitive, but this is Mike and a huge difference in people’s lives and we’re just, again, we had to play with it and experiment with it and we can not sell anything that we don’t own in our heart. The other part we’re making and I’ve still I’m in the process of putting those on the website now. I have people that go, okay, well, I don’t want to have health coaching. I don’t want to have a lab draw it. I don’t like being poked with needles. Because we do have a few of those. I don’t really like it either, but it is a lot more accurate because it gives it personalized. But some people just want to buy the products that are in the pack for pain. You’re offering that as well, correct? You can do that because there’s a certain percentage of society that are just self starters. And I’m one of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me a book. And I’ll do it myself. But then there’s a larger segment of society that needs the hand holding, so to speak. You’ve heard Janet and past podcasts.
00:15:02 – 00:20:07
Doctor Lewis, don’t want to do any hand holding it’s like, well, it’s not that I want to, but I’m too dad gum busy as it is. And instead of retiring, we decided to stick with it because we’re changing lives. And you know, you get an email from, for example, care back in Indiana and she makes me cry every time she writes me a letter and talks about how much she loves Janet and what she’s done and how much we’ve helped her. And then we have our local people. And it’s like, it’s very humbling. And it’s very, that’s why we’re hanging around and doing this instead of retiring. Right. So my daughter has done the one for white in which was a huge deal because she needed the help because she wasn’t the self starter. She always knew, I mean, I mean, look how long we’ve been doing this. Oh, you want to say how long we’ve been doing this. Maybe 20 years. I guess now, I’ll do a nutrition, doctor. But you’re only 30. I know. I’m just talking about you doing it. Not me. Not me specifically. But she’s been watching us do this all of our lives, but she never was one into just opening bottles appeals and taking things. Well, when she found out, we had this hormone weight loss program. She asked me if she could do it and that started new year’s New Year’s Eve is actually when she told me that we’ve been working with her now. It’s going on her fourth month, I guess. And she’s dropping white. She has energy. She said, mom, I feel really good. And she talked to our health coaches. They helped her through some rough patches, some things that just come up weird. You know, when people start taking supplements, of course, they always want to go, oh, it’s a supplement. That’s what’s caused me to have this or that. If it’s figuring out it’s not from God, so if it’s bearing down, that’s why our health coaches can help you through that by holding your hand by making sure that you feel like it’s all right or maybe you need to change this or that. And our daughter’s a brand new girl and I won’t tell you that her significant other is living a healthier relationship because of it. But he would make, he would make all the recipes in the book and what was funny is he really didn’t he wasn’t trying to lose weight. He was just trying to help. He didn’t need to. Yeah, he was just trying to help her and he loves to cook. So he was making, they would make these meals for the week because people are going, oh, this has to be done every night. I have to cook every night. What they did is they made them up for the week, and they put them in the fridge, and they partitioned them, and they looked like little school lunches. And he would actually make me and doctor Lewis a little lunch to come by and we’d come pick it up and take it home and I was like, this stuff is really good. But we’d say we only won’t have as much because that’s another thing. Once you get your gut right, you start wanting less than you did before. So we eat half as much as we used to. Yeah, so. And feel full. Yeah, so but there’s some things that, you know, I guess people don’t even associate that has got to do with pain. Maybe they’re so used to living with it like restless leg syndrome. A lot of people have restless leg syndrome, depression, and anxiety. Like he said, the fatigue and sleep issues. Yeah, digestive disorders and, you know, well, what does this have to do with migraines? Everything. Neck pain, back pain. And we’ll tie it together so that you understand. You know, that was always funny because, you know, I started, you know, I’m a chiropractor, I treat musculoskeletal conditions, it’s like, well, why are you dealing with my insulin resistance metabolic syndrome? I say because that creates and inflammatory cytokines. And it causes your muscle pine, your joint stiffness. That’s causing your headaches. And if you do this and this and this, your migraines could very easily not only go away, but not come back, or at least not as often or not as severe. And that’s really, really common. You know, and there’s hormone imbalances that are associated with pain also, like thyroid, cortisol, and they just don’t really think about it being a pain related symptom, but it is insulin, DHEA, testosterone, which doctor Lewis has a new testosterone book too, by the way. Estrogen and progesterone. And it’s funny, we were testing all of those on our comprehensive plus the mailer female hormones. We were doing that years and years and years before this book came along before the system came along. So we were kind of really sort of ahead of the curve. Well, I got tired of him telling everybody, go read this book. Go check out this book. So I just, doctor Liz, please write your own book. So now we’ve got a complete system. So we’re very excited about having the whole thing put together instead of just, you know, try to do it yourself, because so many people ask if they could eat different things.
00:20:08 – 00:25:02
If we had a nutritionist that went with this, we never had that. So we’ve decided to just put this in to apply, we also have the regular way. I mean, we’re not through doing the regular way also. If you want to do the things like you used to do and do the regular lab and buy the bottles, that’s great too. We just led great success there. That way too. It’s not one size fits all. It’s what is best for you individually. And you may have a different program or a different approach than your spouse, even. We just, we just want you to have the best results, whatever that is for your personality. We want to offer different ways that you can achieve those things. If you’re don’t want to talk to us, don’t want to meet us, just won’t listen to us, we’ll buy stuff, great. That’s there, too. That’s why we’re doing just the packs by themselves with the books, or the company, the book. The whole thing is that you can piecemeal it the way you want or have the full concierge service, however it works for you, but so another way of saying it is, you know, you’re in the driver’s seat of your life and your health, and you can point your lap down any road, but we want to help you get there as quickly and as easily as you want and which way you want to travel, getting your health back, getting your mental motivation, getting your physical health by getting your spiritual health back because if you have a problem in one, you’re going to have a problem in the others because they all tied together. So you can make this change. As fast or slow as you want. But we’re here to make it better. And so you don’t waste time going down dead ends like we talked about from the start. And honestly, if you’re getting off of some of this over the counter pain relief medicine, you’ve had back surgeries or you’ve had injections. You’re going to have a little bit of a rough time trying to switch over to get well and get healthy because the body’s been so used to being in that state. That you get weird things that come up from it. That’s why we hired help. That’s right. And they’re incredibly educated. And that’s right. That’s what I was going to say. That’s why you really need the help to get through some of that because you think it’s okay. And then something comes along and it’s like, I don’t know what’s causing it. I don’t know what to do. And that’s why the health coach lets you do the, you can message them any time and they will answer it, some of them lighter than others. Maybe not at midnight, but we have people trying to eat snack food and stuff like that. And they’re like, I don’t know what to eat, and they’ll text our health coach and they get help, and they’re like, well, if you’ve got to eat at night, then try this. I even had the one guy that was doing the weight loss program. And he said, you know, I don’t get up in the middle of the night now and go get something out of the fridge. He said, I always got up in the middle of the night and got something out of the fridge. She goes, something happened. And I don’t want it. And I was like, yeah, the nutrition kicked in and you don’t want it anymore. I’m not bleeding that last grain is freezer burned in the freezer because I haven’t touched it in months, and I mean that literally. I want to talk to maybe a little bit different segment to the population. We talked about briefly the neurotransmitter imbalance and how it has to deal with pain. How many of you are depressed? Even if you don’t tell people that and you’re always on the edge of stress or you’re full of anxiety, yeah, okay, we’ve created a stress field nation or society, but you can take different avenues to decrease that. So if you’re always on that age, and these neurotransmitters are tiny chemical messages, messengers, some inhibit and some excite. And you have to have those balanced. Serotonin, for example, that’s what some people call the piece of God. Dopamine, if you’re missing at your usually some sort of addict, trying to get that response. Alcoholics or narcotics or gambling or even sex addicts are usually low on dopamine. Then you’ve got glutamate, gaba, which stands for gamma aminobutyric acid, this really good norepinephrine and epinephrine. Once you balance these things, oh my God, you get happy and I’ve had, I’ve had specially women, they’ll say, my husband’s nice to me. I’ve never had him be nice to me. He gave me 12 compliments last month. I thought, well, maybe you’re more receptive to maybe your age will live with oh, I can’t say that. Balance in serotonin and these other ones. Yeah, while you’re talking about that, I wanted you to talk about easy relax.
00:25:03 – 00:30:06
Because for several reasons, it’s been reformulated. We’ve always had easy relax. This formulation was put together differently based on what doctor Lewis is reading here. So would you tell them why you changed it? How this helps with pain, maybe. Yeah, we’ve had once sweet lady that was kind of slightly upset because the other one worked real well and it’s like, I understand. And she’s a sweetheart, but then we had another guy that had the inquiry about, well, it’s not doesn’t have this and it’s an easy relax we have now. God, it’s the vitamins minerals and amino acids for number one, first generation mood support. And in the right amount, the ratios are very, very important. What this does is it enhances the synthesis or the making of these chemical messages that supports calmness, healthy mood, better sleep, and to calm down that jittery nervous system. You know, it helps with methylation. You’ve heard me in the past, talk about methylation. Well, if you’re not methylene, and you’re not getting all the bad things out of your body and there’s about a 100,000 chemicals that we are involved with every day, which are not good. So you have to have methylation to get rid of some of these bad things that come into our bodies. And that has to do with production of serotonin and gaba for the most part. Then there’s magnesium magnesium, those of you that have headaches musculoskeletal pain, joint pain. We’re all low in magnesium, even our government says the best you can do out of your diet, it’s 40% of what you need every day. And while this is a specialized magnesium, it’s an Albion tracks glycinate key light that means you get up to 20 times better absorption. Magnesium magnesium and serotonin are the two things I can take when I feel a migraine coming on. I get the visual migraines where I can’t see to read and can’t see to drive. I’m take the magnesium and serotonin. Or I just pop an easy relaxing 30 minutes. I’m good to go. It’s gone. Then it’s got the vitamin C, which supports enzyme activity. Of copper. Gaba, 5 HTP, which creates that serotonin. I talked about then it has terrain terrains and amino acids that, oh my God, it’s neuro protective. So basically you put all this together to that goes with the pain protocol. The other one was a really, really good product, but this one, for what we’re doing, we can’t hardly keep it on the shelf. That tells you anything. Yeah, I have one guy. I had one guy 5 bottles of it at a time the other day. So it’s done. It has showed itself to be very good so far. In one personal but being the next day or two and say, oh God, I want one for my spouse. Oh, I’ve got to have one for my college age kid this stressed. And the other thing I wanted you to talk about, which believe it or not, gut health has got to do with pain, and so we developed another new product called GI soothe. Because it helps the inflammatory process and the gut. And it really does work well. For people with constipation because stress, people won’t go to the bathroom. So I don’t know anything about that. But doctor Lewis can tell you all about it. I’ve ever seen. And there’s books written about the gut brain connection. There’s people that’s won the Nobel Prize for understanding the gut microbiome and what that has to do with neurotransmitters. It has everything to do with that. It’s got all sorts of things in it that soothe and calm the gut that takes those leaky gut, you know, wide gaps and begins to bring them back closer to where it should be. And decreases the inflammatory cytokines helps you rebuild the villi, which create the surface area. And it’s got all kinds of other things and it just too much for me to mention, but zinc carnosine, and that’s a very specific type of zinc, which is pretty much known to enhance the mucosal integrity of the stomach and beyond, but it’s shown in vivo animal models and clinical trials that it pretty much, I can’t say it kills bad bacteria. I can’t say that, but read the studies. Slippery on prune powder, marshmallow, which is mucilage containing ingredient, which is smooth and smooth, smooth move can kind of deal.
00:30:07 – 00:34:35
Chamomile cat’s claw cat’s claw is something you don’t see a lot. It’s very incredibly anti inflammatory because it comes out of Central and South America. So it’s not as popular here, but we might sure that it helps. Okra, believe it or not, it’s not just good for you and gumbo. We have a little Cajun influence here. An acetyl glucosamine coarse in which is a really strange and incredibly powerful antioxidant and then glutamine, which helps build the lining of the gut. Anyway, it’s good, good, good, good. And when I have a belly ache, which nowadays is pretty rare. General, give me a couple of those. I’ll swallow in 30 minutes. Oh man, I’m good to go. And when your gut feels good, your brain feels good. When that happens, and it begins to increase the detoxification of all these things that your body is dealing with. Oh, guess what? The pain of your muscles can go away for you fibromyalgia type patients. For you arthritic patients that have joint pain, it can go away for those of you that have pain because of stress anxiety and depression. Oh my God, the gut connection is there and it gets better and better and better. You’re living in a wondrous body, but it just needs a little help in order to decrease that. And I tell people, you can glorify God if you’re sick, but it’s a whole heck of a lot easier if you feel good. And we’re going to give you a little help to get started. With our new pain panel lab, which we’ve not done in a long time and you probably won’t see it again for a very long time. But for the whole month of May. And starting now, if you listen to the podcast early, we are offering 10% off on the pain lab panel. And this is my 2023. If you listen to it in 2024, you missed the boat. Yeah, you need to listen faster. But May of 2023, if you will put in the coupon box, the word pain, PAIN, a lower case letters, it will take 10% off of the pain panel relief lab. So take advantage of that, that’s our way of trying to reach out to you to get you started to give you a life worth living. And sadly, we have come to the end of our show, but we promise we won’t be strangers long, we are going to start our podcast back. And you’ll be hearing from us more often and like I said, I really appreciate that you guys have been waiting to hear from us. We hear a lot of feedback that you miss it. So, but we just had to make sure all this worked really great before we started putting it out here. And we wanted to see some results with it. So we’re pleased with what we’re seeing. So we’re offering it to you now. So doctor Lewis, do you have any what wait a minute, you do need to go to our website, green wisdom, health dot com, fill out our health survey if you don’t know which lab panel you need that will help make a decision. And if you’re uncomfortable buying a lab based on what it says, will actually contact you directly and discuss with you your options. Okay, doctor Lewis, now you can tell us anything that you would like to close with. Oh, that’s not good, and bob made a speak my mind. The real thing, the spirit of self help is kind of the root of all genuine growth, but we help you with the self help. So it’s not just we made the decision to get back into the podcast, so thank you for your feedback. So we are accountable for that. And one other thing I want to say is tears and sweat or salty. But they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy, sweat will get you changed. Let us help you with that. And we hope you have a very blessed week. It will be here next time on the green wisdom health show. Once again, our show has come to an end, but your hope in your health is only beginning. If you or a loved one are in need of a different outcome and are waiting for a brighter future, take the first step and go to our website and fill out the health survey. Please don’t keep us a secret. If you know someone that could benefit from this podcast, please share the show with your friends and family. You are only one step away from a life worth living.
