The Superhero The World Needed But Was Taken WAY Too Soon

This is one of those very difficult articles to write but it's something I felt the need to do. Yesterday afternoon, a young man barely 21 years old had his life taken away in a tragic motorcycle accident. His name was Noah Jeffries; the name may sound familiar in the strongman world because he was the son of Bud Jeffries. Nothing can be truly said of this horrific event of what has brought on this beautiful, amazing and very strong (in and out) family.

I had the humble opportunity to have met this one and a million young strength prodigy in the middle of 2011 at a strength seminar in San Jose, California. Just from the first glimpse of seeing him, you knew there was something extraordinary. From a physical stand-point, he was and always will be, one of the strongest kids I had ever witness. He was around 15 at this time and the things he could do with weights, steel bars and other aspects of strength were just surreal. He was doing things no child that age should be able to pull off and he was already taking the world by storm in our circle. The first time I shook his hand, he called me Sir LOL; no kid before or since has ever called me that and I was blown away by that to this day. He was humble, quiet but very happy and upbeat.

When I read the news on him, my heart just broke, this was a young man that had so much left to give in this world and he was I believe and stand firm by it, he was the strongest kid of his generation, bar none. This was the son of one of my dearest and most amazing friends and I can't help but feel not only saddened but just beaten down. It was like losing a little brother and a piece of you died with him. He was a man among men and had a fearlessness that was so unique and so powerful it makes you wonder how in the bloody hell can a kid that age be like this. He was raised by one o the strongest men on this planet and it is just so shameful that someone of this magnitude can be taken so soon.

He truly was a real life superhero with powers inside and out that no one of any age can match. He wasn't just a humble strongman either, he had one of the sharpest eyes for shooting me and others had ever seen. I kid you not, this human being was able to shoot quarters, pills and other objects in the air, it was beyond just trick shots, he had a legit eye for being to shoot from anywhere he wanted. His humbleness was second to none but if you messed with him, he had the potential to break you and you would remember it for life. He even had a mighty stint as a Jujitsu practitioner which made him even more dangerous in addition to his strength and keen eye shooting, he literally could've been a James Bond type beast with a smile that just made you like him right away.

He is and always will be a hero of mine and is loved by all that knew him and to his parents Bud & Heather, you are loved beyond recognition and your son made an impact that will never be forgotten. Wherever he is, I want the world to know that Noah was an amazing & powerful human being that wasn't meant to leave so soon. Rest in peace my friend, I will miss you everyday. It was an honor and an amazing privilege to have met you and to be a proud man to have at one time shake your hand. 

The Herbal Answer For Men! Energy, Stamina, Health…

Just put together the ultimate man package! And today until Monday, October 9th at midnight it is an extra $5 OFF

We're just gonna call this the ROCKSTAR BUNDLE.


An ideal combination for any man Over 30!

In modern times we sit susceptible to many factors that affect our hormones and in return affect our bodies, our health, our energy, our well-being and even our own happiness.

When it comes to working with hormones, a multi-prong approach is often best. This is because the symphony of hormones within our body is very complex. Even the best hormone experts probably understand maybe 1/10th of how it all works.

It didn't take rocket science that we needed to pair these three top herbal extracts together and create the 3TB.

What are some benefits of taking the natural path to optimal health?

Lets cut to the chase…

Pine Pollen Tincture

Pine pollen is the lead singer and guitarist of this power trio. Loaded with bioavailable phyto-androgens this extract is directly boosting to the male sex hormones.This supplies T, DHEA and other hormones (the same exact ones that humans have), along with novel plant sterols.

This tincture has the ability to boost, balance and promote normal activity within the body.

… Next, comes the right-hand man

Nettle Root Spagyric Tincture

Nettle root is on the bass. This is the yin to pine pollen's yang. Nettle root works with enzymes such as aromatase, 5-alpha reductase, that can support the androgenic hormones.Not directly boosting, this is more support and maintenance thus helping keep as much free T as possible for use within the body.

This is a full spectrum nettle root extract Wildcrafted and Spagyrically Prepared Nettle Root from pristine areas of Oregon.

Ashwagandha Spagyric Tincture

Ashwagandha is on the drums. One of its many great effects is how it helps normalize cortisol, the "stress hormone."

If cortisol is too high, if your body is under too much stress, physical or mental, you can kiss your chances of optimal hormone health goodbye.

Ashwagandha is known to support the hormones, primarily through this action and this is an action neither of the other two has.

Stabilize one of the root issues of what may throw off your hormones in the first place, and everything else will work better.

Also known to:

Support the Immune System
Reduce the Effects of Too Much Stress
Helps Normalize Blood Pressure
And much more.

There is a good chance that this package or even one of these herbs individually can benefit you greatly.

I suggest taking a peep at the single product pages for an even deeper spiritual, historical, and scientific dive into these tinctures extracts one by one and grab the match for you...but if you order before Monday you can save an extra $5 OFF the regular price. (No Coupon Needed)

$5 bucks is $5 bucks... PLUS we have our 1 Year Money-Back Guarantee. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE :)

Why Walking Running And Hanging Like A Primate Is Beneficial

Systematic exercise is the typical norm of modern day fitness; you do this many reps for strength/endurance, you go at this speed to burn fat, you run this many miles to determine if you're in shape and so on and so forth. Everything is planned out, you have your machines, weights and all sorts of things at your disposal, hell even bodyweight exercise has a ball point system of carefully planned pre-noted exercises like push-ups, squats, sit-ups and various pull-ups. There's nothing wrong with wanting to get in shape for various purposes and with the right kind of training you can increase hormones and enhance brain activity which is always a good thing. Now what I'm about o tell you goes beyond all this.

You see, I was never fond of predetermined routines that had do this and that; not that I don't love a good circuit or do 500 Squats when I have the opportunity but I feel like if I step out of that and went a completely different direction where reps aren't relied on and you can do things for as long as you want or as short as you want and get something out of it either way, that's where I turn to the unorthodox style of Primate Training/Conditioning. I feel it's just as beneficial if not more so than a full on narrow systematic approach.

It's not truly "exercising" like a primate, it's basically mimicking animals, that's it. Nothing more than just learning movements and holds that resemble an animal's behavior. The primates in general are our closest animal relative, humans are considered primates in a scientific sense. Now why is this method beneficial? It does far more than just playing and making weird sounds or a gorilla or a chimp; it's reinventing or studying through our own physiology in order to take on the body's capabilities in a very unique and very primitive way. Yes it's true, we can't exactly mimic every primate's movement patterns for obvious reasons but it shouldn't prevent us from finding a suitable adaptation to basic and even tough ways to move our bodies similar to a simian.

Moving like a primate in various ways, opens up channels of the body that releases a natural satisfaction of being free and learning to use the body unlike the normal fitness crazes. Walking like a chimp can be very silly looking but on a deeper and much more open minded outlook, it can lead to healing shoulders, enhance leg conditioning and more. Moving like a gorilla or bonobo or orangutan can strengthen the fingers to a degree even greater than fingertip push-ups; unlike FTP where you go up and down using all ten fingers down to one and all the variations you can do, try doing the same exact principle when walking like an ape. You're going in all different directions and you need a sense of balance that is very unique, I have done this with different movements of apes and only a couple are very easy to do, I have walked on my fists, my knuckles, my fingertips, my thumbs alone and even did them going backwards and have developed strong hands because of them.

Hanging is by far one of the most beneficial exercises or holds of all-time and for good reason; when you hang from various grips, you're not just hanging on (which in itself is difficult for most people) you're lengthening the torso, stretching the back in it's natural position, building the core muscles in a very powerful way and increasing strength in the tendons and ligaments. It's a bit of an irony when there are people who can do quite a few pull-ups but if you ask them to just hang there, chances are they won't last more than a few seconds. If you can't hang, you shouldn't be doing pull-ups period. Hanging alone can help alleviate back pain, open up the shoulders, gain flexibility in the obliques and give you grip strength that is natural & functional.

Make Primate training a part of your daily lives, don't just do it for a particular workout/playout, do it throughout the day in small segments, if you have sat too long, get deep into the squat position and put your palms on the floor, if you can't then do what you can. If you're a complete and utter beginner, practice what is possible for you and build from there. I didn't start out being fast or able to hang for a solid period of time, hell even at 250+ lbs. its still a challenge at times but make it fun and work for you. Be a primate, it's in your blood.

To learn the top movements and hold for primate get Animal Kingdom Conditioning I & II, want your child to build that kind of strength; get Wild Animal Fitness For Kids. These courses by themselves can give you a lifetime of practice and having the adventure of a lifetime.

 

Wake Up ENERGIZED!

How was your sleep last night?

Did you get a solid 8 hours of rest?

When you woke up did you feel awake, energized and ready to tackle the day?

If you’re like many men over 40 then you probably had a rough night and had trouble falling asleep and getting out of bed.

Why does this happen to us?

Why can’t we just wake up feeling refreshed?

Being the health nut that I am I’ve been learning to hack my sleep for years.

What I’ve discovered is that the #1 factor that ruins sleep is…

STRESS.

Yup.

When I don’t exercise multiple times a week my mind begins going crazy… I stress over little details, my mind doesn’t shut up and I lose sleep over it.

I have trouble falling asleep. When I do fall asleep, I wake up several times during the night. And finally, when my alarm goes off it becomes impossible to get up!

So what’s a guy supposed to do when he doesn’t have time to work out often and needs to relax and get a DEEP good night’s sleep?

You can get drunk and pass out. There are drugs out there that will knock you out (legal and illegal).

But none of these solutions are sustainable.

Recently I was talking with one of my herb suppliers and he introduced me to a really interesting herb, Albizia.

Turns out this herb is a natural sedative. In Chinese medicine it’s called the “Tree of Happiness” and it’s been used for literally thousands of years (the first documentation of it was in the 2nd C).

After looking at studies I found that albizia helps with:

· Sleeping disorders (like insomnia). So you can finally get a good night’s sleep.

· It induces peaceful feelings by regulating your mood. It does this by blocking your brain’s anxiety-inducing receptors. This is key for stressful times. Can be used during the day or at night.

· Fights depression. This is literally a natural antidepressant.

The best part? Little to no side effects were found and can be used safely for prolonged periods of time (for months).

So if you ever need a good night’s sleep, and want to wake up the next day ENERGIZED, then I highly recommend picking up albizia HERE.

Since this is a brand new product for us, for the next week ONLY you can get albizia for just $15.99… instead of $19.99!

Rooting for your sleep!

P.S If you really want to get a kick start for the day, in addition to taking Albzia, grab some Spark to get that extra kick for the energy you've already woken up to, this will help with your focus and a clear pathway to make the day filled with energy, happiness & clarity.

Developing Tarzan Muscle And Conditioning

In the last few weeks or so I've been reading an omnibus book on Tarzan that has stories going as far back as the late 40's to the mid 50's (Talk about CLASSIC) and as far as I'm seeing, these are just insane stories from rescuing slaves to going after his son Boy and leading a tribal army to rescue a chemist. These stories just don't depict the exciting life of Tarzan but show how physically strong and conditioned he is from swimming sprint style, to lifting up certain heavy objects, flying through the jungle on the vines and his endurance to fight as long as it takes. These attributes are what is inspiring to be in that kind of shape.

Now not everyone can be like Tarzan but we can however become very strong and conditioned than the average person. There's a lot of mixed things that happen in life today that brings a complicated style of fitness and educating those wishing to learn it. On one end you have people that are extremely overweight and have issues with eating healthy, finding "time" to exercise and building a foundation that helps them live longer and have a healthier lifestyle, on the other end of that extreme spectrum you have athletes or those who develop physiques that look like cartoon characters that seem to be out of a comic book that have huge muscles or extremely lean muscle that looks "obvious" they're on steroids. In the middle of this there's everyone else but don't have a complete informed outlook of what true fitness is. Because of the overwhelming level of information provided today it can be extremely difficult to find what suits you the best.

This is where I like to provide simple info that doesn't overwhelm a reader or someone who wants to get fit. There are many ways to get fit but many many courses tell what reps build the most muscle and what gives the most endurance and exercises that work for this bodypart and that bodypart plus you have those infomercials that sell basically crap and pass it off as a sparkling entity. The very best training style that has worked for me has been the Animal Exercises; it takes out all the crap of which bodypart and how many times you do it out of the equation and gets down to the nitty gritty of how to move like a wild animal and do it as long as you can and making a fun game out of it.

That's the emphasis of what Tarzan means to becoming strong and powerful, you take certain things and master it and not always through a single spot but by moving and making the most out of those movements to take on life's biggest challenges. You do movements where you learn step by step how to move like a wild beast in the jungle just like Tarzan; he studies the animals, he practices their movement, calls and makes it the very best for his style whether it be friend or foe. You no longer get to just go to the Zoo to watch animals, you get to become that animal. When you move in various directions, speeds and control; you are using muscles that you didn't think existed and forget crunches and sit-ups, practically every animal you learn to move as will force you to use your entire core from the upper abs to the pelvic area in order to stabilize you and protect you from injury because a lot of these exercises are very intense and usually 1st timers of animal workouts don't last the 1st 5 minutes, that's how tough they are.

As you progress through these animal movements, you'll find your body changing by having greater definition, functional strength, greater flexibility and have conditioning that is very unique unlike other programs of regular calisthenics and/or weights. You'll have a set of lungs that will impress people and if you play sports, your opponents will be terrified of your endurance. I was already quite fit when I started to do these almost exclusively but even at that, they kicked my ass big time and it gave me a goal to shoot for. You don't need more than 5 minutes to start and once you get to the advanced versions of these movements, you can go as long as you want however you want. You can make a game out of it, race friends, make it a part of your current regimen or you can use it to enhance your sports training. Tarzan is a symbol of courage & inner/outer strength with incredible endurance and the will to get better as life goes on. I don't workout with animal exercises, I play them and learn the value of making the most out of them because they're fun & exciting and that's what true fitness is about.

The Power Of VRT

The VRT System is a program that provides the increase of muscular hypertrophy quickly without the need of weights, an apparatus or highly dangerous steroids. It has been proven to be very safe and an effective way the entire muscular system the the maximum of the growth phase by causing the muscles to get that "pump" in every muscle group within a period of 20 minutes or less.

Since the 80's it has become quite an impressive system that has been researched and tested by thousands of bodybuilders, pro athletes, world-class lifters and many more around the world in over 30 countries including the US. Over 95% of those who have practiced this system has had an increase in muscular size and tone. Around 1985 there were reports from now the former Soviet Union shown that the trainers there picked up on the VRT System and the Soviet coaches began implementing this system to their athletes such as wrestlers, weightlifters, gymnasts and other Olympic-Level athletes.

The Exercise Physiologists found out some amazing and killer statistics that have shown remarkable increases in muscular development and the techniques applied helped increase other attributes such as speed of movement, strength & even neuromuscular coordination. They also found out that VRT doesn't do any straining to the joints & ligaments no matter how many times these guys performed the technique.

This is a very unique system that in its concept has the extraordinary ability to bring in such an intense pump of the muscles through the rush of the blood to obtain muscular growth. It can be done by practically anybody regardless of age or sex. Think what it would be like to get in an amazing playout within 15 minutes and do it anywhere and anytime you wished. This is the power of how to apply this awesome program and save so much TIME & MONEY it is unimaginable. It is another outlook to what is called Muscle Control where you apply the mind/muscle connection to specific muscle groups and flex & relax in a range of motion. I've applied this technique many times and have increased muscle size to where I have nearly 18 inch arms, a 20 inch or so neck, thick muscular back and a near 48 inch chest at 250 plus pounds. Haven't touched a barbell or dumbbell in over a few years and still managed to develop muscle fast. This system works and can be used for any bodybuilding program and all you need for equipment is your imagination.

Check out this system for yourself and make it your own. You have the power to create anything you want with this system and develop a physique that turns heads and amazes people. Get VRT for only $9 for paperback and $1.99 for Kindle; that's far less than the cost of a monthly membership to a gym and you never have to wait for equipment ever again and you can do this when you get up in the morning walking only a couple feet from your bed, do it at a park, by the lake/ocean or in a hotel near Disneyland. Wherever you go, VRT will always be with you.

Be Able To Do Bodybuilding Anywhere And Anytime

I'm not the biggest fan of modern bodybuilding for a few reasons; one it's not as simplistic as it was in the early 20th century, two there are too many exercises that make people overthink and hinder progress & three because too many drugs have taken over than the love of pure bodybuilding itself. Not everyone is meant to have that kind of lifestyle and it isn't practical to spend so many hours while the general population has a life to live when it comes to family, jobs & paying bills. When something becomes overcomplicated, you're going to really get anywhere.

I'm a firm believer in using simple methods that are not only effective but have a long term positive effect on the body, it is also rejuvenative and and doesn't wear and tear on the joints. Calisthenics are usually ideal in my arsenal of methods and I can never get enough of airope skipping and using the power wheel or doing Isometrics but when it comes down to deep and direct approach to bodybuilding, I go with VRT (Visualized Resistance Training). It is a system that provides pumping the muscles without ever touching weights and you can mimic any machine in the gym anywhere you want. It is without question one of the most powerful methods around and all it takes is flexing a muscle, moving through a range of motion and your imagination; those main three are the foundation. People tend to knock off this system because it has that negative notion of only "pretending to lift weights" ordeal and think the only way to build muscle is by moving weights.

Not everyone can afford a weight set and even moreso, they can't travel with weights on a plane or in their car and it's not ideal to moving weights in a hotel room if you're traveling. Weights can be beneficial for the body in certain ways but you do need specific spots to have them so it is safe for the surrounding environment. VRT takes out all of that where you can imagine lifting a weight and flexing the muscles through a specific range of motion without ever needing the equipment there. You can take VRT anywhere you wish because the only equipment is you and your mind. I have done VRT in a hotel room, at the park, on a plane, riding in the car and even did it at Disneyland (yes it is possible). You can make this system whatever you wish and whatever you can think of, you can make a VRT exercise out of.

Think of it this way; ever heard of the Green Lantern and that mighty Ring of his? If you ever read the comics or watched the disastrous flick with Ryan Reynolds; the ring is a symbol of how to apply imagination and turning it into action. He comes up with all sorts of weird stuff to defend himself and others and whatever he thinks of, the ring creates out of that. That principle is similar to VRT where you imagine something heavy and doesn't have to be a weight or a machine; it could be lifting a car, picking up boulders, doing chest flys with steel chains or whatever you can think of. You have your own Green Lantern Ring and that ring is your imagination & the muscles are the action of that ring. You have the power to be as creative as you wish to be and you control how much tension you create to build the muscles you want.

One of the most well developed human beings on the planet didn't lift weights and all he did was flex his muscles in certain positions of exercise similar to VRT; that man was Bobby Pandour. His physique at the time was extraordinary and was only topped by guys like Otto Arco, Maxick & Eugene Sandow; he was that well built. His body was so well put together it would give today's Physique Contestants a run for their money and this was long before the days of steroids, supplements & exercise machines. Back then the only way to even remotely find a way to lift weights like a barbell and such was in a massive gymnasium in a major town or at a YMCA that provided such luxuries. You couldn't really buy weights at that time and if you did, the most you'd get is maybe a 100-200 lbs. set. Bobby settled only for Muscle Control and his best style of leg training was carrying his brother up flights of stairs. Don't believe me on the possibilities of having a mighty physique by this system, take a look below.

You can develop a body to be proud of and not wear and tear on your joints. Be able to train anywhere you wish and do it in less time than with any other bodybuilding method. Wear whatever you want, do any exercise that your imagination can come up with and have fun developing the mind/muscle connection. Get VRT today for less than the cost of a monthly membership to any gym and never be bored with exercise ever again.

Schisandra Berry Powder RECIPES

Schisandra Berry Tea Recipe #1

1 TB Schisandra Extract
1 Qt. Hot Water
Simply mix and enjoy. Doesn’t get much simpler than this.

Schisandra beautifies the skin. In Chinese medicine, it strengthens your “Wei Chi”, which is the defense chi of your body. It’s the first line of your body’s immune response and much more. As an astringent, it helps to tighten skin and tissues, helping to preserve moisture.

The following recipes contain several more ingredients to give you many more ideas.

Schisandra Berry Tea Recipe #2

1-quart water
3T Schisandra (soaked and drained)
1T goji berries
1T astragalus root
1t orange peel or a couple of pieces
1t fresh ginger root
Simmer the above ingredients in one quart of pure water for no longer than 15 minutes. Strain and drink alone with super sweeteners or allow to cool and blend into a smoothie or iced drink.

Schisandra detoxifies the liver. This is due primarily to antioxidants and lignan components including schizandrin, pregomisin, gomisins, and deoxyschizandrin. In China a drug was created out of Schisandra for this effect.

Schisandra Berry Tea Recipe #3

2 Tbsp Schisandra Berries
2 Tbsp Elderberries (optional)
6 small pieces of licorice root, broken into small pieces
5-6 inch knob of ginger peeled and coarsely chopped
A palmful or two of dried eleuthero
1-2 Tbsp of dried green stevia leaves
1-2 cinnamon sticks, crushed
Combine everything (except for the stevia) in a saucepan and cover with 4 cups of water. Cover and bring to a boil.

Schisandra berry is one of the top adaptogens in the world. Schisandrin B stimulates the expression of heat shock proteins in normal cells which enhances mitochondrial glutathione status, other antioxidant activity and ATP generation. The Russians heavily investigated this and other adaptogens to support their athletes and soldiers.

Fermented Schizandra Berry Tea

One tablespoon of water kefir grains
One quart of water
One cup of sugar
One cup of dried schizandra berries
Two cups of boiled water
Two cups of pomegranate juice (cherry and raspberry juice are great too)

1. Dissolve the sugar in the quart of water. (They recommend heating the water to help dissolve the sugar, but then allow the water to cool before the next step.)

2. Put the water kefir grains in a clean quart jar and pour the cool sugar water over the grains. Let it sit for 24 hours.

3. In the meantime, pour two cups of boiled water over the berries, cover, and let it sit and cool. (They've had no issues letting this sit for 24 hours.)

4. After 24 hours, strain off the water kefir grains to use in another recipe. Set grains aside.

5. In a half gallon jar, combine the sugar water, steeped berries with liquid, and the pomegranate juice or juice of your choice.

6. Cover with a tea towel and let it ferment until it reaches your desired sweetness.

Combining the benefits of schisandra along with the benefits or a fermented drink. Sounds great.

Schisandra is a great aphrodisiac. It’s not what many people think of, like other herbs such as tongkat ali and cistanche, but helps increase circulation, lubrication, sensitivity as well as libido for both men and women.

Schisandra Berry Smoothie

2-3 Tablespoons of Schisandra Berry Syrup
2 cups Strawberries or Mixed Berries
Vitamin C Powder ( 1000 mg. dose – I used ⅛ tsp.)
1½ cups of Homemade Yogurt, Coconut Yogurt or Coconut Milk
2-3 Tablespoons Coconut Oil, melted Pinch of Sea Salt
2-3 Tablespoons of Gelatin (cold soluble)

Schisandra Juice

In Asia, it is common to infuse schisandra into other fruit juices. If you had fresh berries you could juice them but it wouldn’t be something you drink a lot of. But a little bit added to other juices can be great tasting and highly beneficial.

1 tsp to 1 TB schisandra berries or extract
1 cup to 1 gallon of dark fruit juice (They recommend tart cherry juice for its many benefits)
Allow to soak for a day. Strain and drink.

A whole book could be written on the benefits of this amazing herb. Because it contains all five flavors, which is a rare thing for one food to have, it enters all 12 meridians in the human body, and nourishes the five elements, water, wood, fire, earth and metal. In addition, it contains all three treasures, Jing, Qi and Shen, all in one place.

With all these options and recipes, you should give this organically grown schisandra berry extract a shot.

THE Superfood That Will Enhance Natural Balance In The Body

It gets old, right?

You lead a busy life. You have responsibilities to your family, your job…

But when was the last time you thought about your responsibility to your body?

Now, if you think the dusty old duties of eating right and exercising are all you need, you are DEAD WRONG.

Recent science proves you've got one HUGE new health duty you (and millions of others) are ignoring...

It's a silent new health disaster caused by modern food and drug industries that NO amount of exercise and healthy eating can cure...

Combating Hormone Imbalance isn't impossible...

Specifically - a little-discussed growing epidemic called Estrogen Dominance...

Not sure Estrogen Dominance is that big a deal?

Well let me ask you this:

Did you know BOTH women's AND men's bodies already produce both Estrogen and Testosterone naturally?

It's true! Everybody needs and produces a bit of both - and maintaining the delicate balance of Estrogen to Testosterone in our individual bodies used to be so easy no one even noticed it...

...it has become increasingly difficult for both men and women to avoid estrogen dominance, and the side effects to your health are extreme.

There is something that can help….

…. Chinese herbalists have been taking advantage of its infinite benefits for thousands of years….

….It’s called Pine Pollen.

The secret behind Pine Pollen is the Phyto-androgens it contains.

Phyto-androgens stimulate testosterone. They work to support the optimization of hormones within our body by balancing out that excess estrogen that we’re bombarded with.

The balance of hormones directly affects how our bodies function. Good balance translates into energy, weight control, sexual vigor, youthful appearance, recovery from daily stress and physical activity and overall sense of well- being.

Imbalance leads to fatigue, sleep disturbance, sexual dysfunction, depression, impaired immune function, chronic illnesses, disease, and ultimately, early death.

Why wouldn't we want to take something that could by far- have amazing health benefits inside and out? Especially with a 365 Day Money Back Guarantee.

Instead of shelling out thousands for painful, unsure, and time-consuming hormone replacement therapies created and administered by the very industry that helped cause this Estrogen Dominance epidemic in the first place, why not get back to basics and go for a purely natural, gentle yet effective, centuries-proven solution? You have a responsibility to yourself and your loved ones to maintain your health fully. Don't let your Estrogen Dominant imbalance become impossible to fix!
