Q & A: Do Men Need a PSA Test?

Question: My father died of prostate cancer, so I am particularly careful about getting a PSA test every year. But a friend recently told me that PSA tests have some drawbacks. Is this true? And if so, what else can I do to protect my prostate? Answer: Your friend is right — a PSA (prostate specific antigen) test is not failsafe. There are some important caveats to consider when dealing with PSA tests and prostate health. PSA tests were once considered a lifesaver because they helped detect prostate cancer before other tests. When a man’s PSA rises above the normal range, it can indicate a potential problem in the prostate, such as the development of cancer. However, PSA levels can also increase due to chronic inflammation, infection, and several other factors (see below). Newer research suggests that widespread PSA testing as a screening measure does not necessarily improve prostate cancer outcomes. One of the reasons is that a PSA test alone does not measure prostate cancer aggressiveness. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and may never pose a threat to life or health. Conversely, a PSA test can also miss aggressive cancers if performed too early. It is important to know that PSA results are affected by certain factors, including the following: Medications Seasonal variations Time of the day Sexual activity Intense exercise like bicycle riding The actual size of the prostate (an enlarged prostate can lead to a higher reading) September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, the perfect time to focus on your prostate health. Click below to learn about a “super nutrient” that has been shown in several studies to protect the prostate, enhance chemotherapy in prostate cancer patients, and even improve prostate cancer outcomes.

Hello Jimi, Many of us have heard the term FASCIA but what exactly is it? Fascia is a dynamic web of multidimensional connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. Healthy fascia is a source of ease and flow so that you can live more comfortably in the home that is your body. When neglected, it can be a source of tremendous pain and discomfort. Fascia is constantly changing as we are in motion. If your fascia is constricted – whether by injury, scars, trauma, stress or illness – the flow of energy, wisdom, communication and movement between your body’s interwoven systems gets disrupted. When you have an understanding of the fascial system and the ways it could be causing your pain, you can start to alleviate years of tension, regain flexibility, prevent injury and optimize your health. Join me to learn about this incredible “system of systems” at the complimentary online Fascia & Chronic Pain Rescue Summit!​

*-- You Should Still be Wearing SPF --*​ If you're stuck at home all day and working by a sunny window, it is good for your mental health, but it isn't doing your skin any favors. Though most windows probably block UVB rays (which cause sunburns), UVA rays do penetrate through glass. These guys are the ones linked to deep wrinkles, sunspots and cancer. So what does this mean then? You probably aren't going to burn sitting by your window. But you will be doing long-term damage to your skin. So wear an SPF of 30 or higher on any part of your skin that's exposed while sitting near any sunlit window. It also wouldn't hurt to look into investing in a sunscreen that additionally protects against blue light, which is given off by tech like your laptop, phone and TV. There isn't much research as to how much blue light exposure damages your skin, but, just like UVA rays, we do know that blue light breaks down collagen and ages your skin. As always, broad-spectrum protection is best, as is anything at or over SPF 30. We should also be sure to check the label to see how often to reapply (which will also depend on how much time you're spending sitting at that window and whether or not you're directly hit by the sun. And make sure that you take care of your hands... yes, your hands. Give your hands a treat with the moisturizing power of Difeel Olive Hand Cream. This ultra rich therapy hand cream is enriched with vitamins and nutrients and uses 100% pure oils for smoother, healthier skin. It's made with certified organic ingredients, and is a product made right here in the USA. - And now it's available in a 3-pack! The formula softens the outer layers of the skin and penetrates to the deeper inner levels. Gives your hands the perfect hydration, nourishment, youthful texture, and leaving your skin soft to the touch. Light, subtle citrus scent that smells amazing for men and women!

Your BEST defense for cold and flu season
Prevention is the name of the game, Jimi.



When it comes to fighting all of the typical viruses that hit hard in the fall in winter, the best offense is a good defense.



In the conventional medicine world, doctors will promote getting the flu shot as your best protection against the flu.



As functional medicine doctors, we support this strategy. But we also don’t think it ends there.



You also need to be properly supporting your body, too. Here are our best immunity tips to get your body fueled properly to fight any sickness that heads your way.



Eat your greens.



Nutrition is so important.



Especially in peak sickness season (around the holidays), you’re often eating more candies, cookies, and sweet treats. The problem is that your body has to work really hard to filter out all that excess sugar. This can weaken your immune system.



We’re not saying you have to skip out on all the goodies… Just be sure you’re also nourishing your body with a lot of fiber-rich foods, proteins, healthy fats… And TONS of fruits and veggies.



Get more sleep.



Let’s be real… Are you really getting the recommended amount of sleep each night (an average of 7.5 hours)?



We live in a culture that embraces a “hustle” mindset, so one of the first things that takes a toll is our sleep.



But rest is so important to support your immune system. So try to shoot for an earlier bedtime. Adopt an evening routine that will encourage your mind and body to wind down.



Give your immune system a helping hand.



When you’re constantly exposing yourself to infections (schools, offices, stores, etc.), your body could use some extra help.



Consult with your doctor to figure out what supplements (and doses) would best support you and your health. Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin D, and Elderberry really help to fight off the flu and other sicknesses.



Probiotics are another great immune system supporter– so load up on fermented foods or use a probiotic supplement your doctor recommends.



Get off the couch!



Exercise boosts your immune system, energizes your body, and helps you get better sleep. It’s a win-win-win.



Any type of movement counts… Go for a run or a walk. Take a yoga class. Pull up a HIIT class on YouTube and do it in your living room. Have a dance party in your kitchen. Just get that body moving.



Do a mental health check.



Anxiety is a struggle for so many people. Depression is common– especially in the winter when it gets dark early and is cold outside.



Managing your mental health is just as important as managing your physical health… And it’s incredibly important for supporting your immune system.



Don’t be afraid to find help for healing your body and your mind.



Wash your hands!



We know. You hear it all the time… Especially over the last few years.



But it’s SO important, so it’s worth repeating.



Wash your hands. With soap.



Also, avoid touching your mouth and nose and frequently disinfect your home and personal items (with toxin-free disinfectants like tea tree and lavender oils).



Whether you’re in need of a nutrition consult or want to invest in supplements, our functional medicine practice is here to help. Visit our website: https://www.fivejourneys.com/ to learn exactly how we can help!



In gratitude,

Should the FDA allow BHT and BHA in our food? YES NO

Jimi, General Mills claims that BHT is “a safe way” to help cereals stay fresh. But nothing could be further from the truth. Multiple studies have linked BHT to tumor growth, hormone disruption and reproductive harm. BHA, a preservative that’s chemically similar, is a known carcinogen, according to California state scientists. Both of these chemicals have been subject to severe restrictions in the EU, Canada and Japan. Even so, many popular foods in the U.S. contain either BHT or BHA. According to EWG’s Food Scores database, 2,830 products contain BHT, including popular cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Froot Loops. Outrageous! EWG is fighting to get all harmful additives like BHA and BHT out of our food, but we need your help to do it. Do you have time to complete our short survey before midnight tonight? Your response will help EWG take a stand against health-harming food additives.

Hi Jimi,

Recently I emailed you about a toxic weed killer that nearly everyone has in their body…

But I made a mistake.

In my email I said that tests show that 80% of adults and children have glyphosate in their urine.

But it turns out that for children, the numbers are even worse.

An even more recent study by the CDC shows that 87% of children test positive for glyphosate.

Some say "adrenal fatigue" has been debunked ... REALLY?​

There is a smart, science-oriented health influencer / educator that has made his name in part by supposedly "debunking" the existence of "adrenal fatigue".

But has he actually debunked it? The answer to this question is NOT trivial. It matters a great deal.

In his argument, this influencer / educator seems to set up a bit of a "straw man" to then knock down by saying that the majority functional health practitioners for many years diagnosed all fatigue as "adrenal fatigue".

First, I doubt that this was ever the case, but if it was, then score one point for this educator for disabusing the functional medicine community of equating all fatigue with "adrenal fatigue".

After all, there are many dozens of causes of fatigue that have little or nothing to do with the adrenal glands. I have identified over 100 causes of fatigue.

Next, this educator describes how he spent 6 months combing the literature, searching for articles about "adrenal fatigue", or similar topics, and found very few.

Of the articles that he reviewed, there were very inconsistent relationships between fatigue and levels of cortisol, an important adrenal hormone.

In these studies, some people with fatigue had high cortisol, some had low cortisol, and some had normal cortisol.

Wait. Hold up.

Since when does adrenal function come down to merely ... cortisol?

That's the first HUGE FLAW in this educator's research and reasoning.

And to the extent that researchers studying adrenal function have only looked at cortisol, that was a huge error in their thinking and research.

The adrenal glands produce DOZENS of substances. And one substance that most clinicians know about that is more important than cortisol in diagnosing adrenal function and "adrenal fatigue" is DHEA.

Furthermore, the adrenal glands prioritize cortisol production above all else because you will die very quickly without enough cortisol.

That's not true of any other substance produced by the adrenal glands.

So you can't assess adrenal function merely by evaluating whether cortisol level are abnormal because the adrenal glands will fight to the death, literally, to produce cortisol.

But if cortisol levels are abnormal, then you have definitely found evidence of problems with adrenal function.

Another fact about cortisol production by the adrenal glands is that as the body responds to stress, cortisol production often first increases above normal, and then later it may decrease below normal.

And on the way between abnormally high cortisol production and abnormally low cortisol production, adrenal glands might pass through a stage of producing normal cortisol levels.

This was shown exhaustively (pun not intended) by Hans Selye, one of the most famous and prolific scientific researchers of all time, who incidentally was nominated for a Nobel Prize for his work.

Another one of the things that Selye showed was that rodents stressed for long enough died with shrunken adrenal glands.

Research by other scientists has shown that every person that dies of a chronic disease dies with shrunken adrenal glands.

So something is happening to the adrenal glands during stress, or at least long-term stress.

So is adrenal stress a cause of fatigue, and is there any scientific merit in a term like "adrenal fatigue"?

Given that adrenal hormones are very much involved with energy production and feelings of wellbeing, I'd say that changes in adrenal gland function would have to be one of the causes of fatigue.

But we can't always look only to cortisol to measure the state of adrenal function as a potential cause of fatigue.

Next, given the fact that simply administering adrenal hormones like DHEA and cortisol can sometimes almost instantly reduce fatigue and improve energy, I'd say that in these cases a term like "adrenal fatigue" as a diagnosis absolutely make sense.

So adrenal fatigue does exist, but it is certainly not the only explanation for all fatigue.

And there are certainly many cases in which simply administering DHEA and/or cortisol did not improve symptoms.

I think that the educator I have been talking about did a great job of calling attention to the fact that not all fatigue is "adrenal fatigue", but I think he made a huge mistake by not realizing the cortisol is not sole measure of adrenal function and by concluding that there is no such thing as "adrenal fatigue".

He did many people a disservice by convincing them that there is no such thing as "adrenal fatigue", especially given the fact that his argument was based entirely on equating adrenal function and "adrenal fatigue" with cortisol levels.

It's just plain bad science and bad logic.

Nobody has "debunked" or invalidated Hans Selye's breakthrough discoveries about the stress response, least of all somebody that has not yet completed a science degree (though he is working on one).

I have lots of respect for most other things that this educator brings to the surface in his quest to solve fatigue for people, and in fact I first learned about the Cell Danger Response from him.

But the "I have debunked adrenal fatigue" story that he leads with is almost completely without merit and does him as much of a disservice as it does for others.

And the fact that so many practitioners in the functional medicine space have fallen this "adrenal fatigue doesn't exist" idea speaks to a weakness in their foundational scientific education, their common sense, and their logic.

That said, there are so many brilliant practitioners with fantastic professional chops. I don't pretend to be above any of them. I learn from all of them daily.

But it seems like every last one of them has blind spots and weaknesses. So that must apply to me as well.

We all need to keep improving, and I believe that the place to start is with fundamental physiology and a better understanding of the scientific method and scientific reasoning because this is where I see most people falling down in their functional medicine game.

OK, end of rant.

I hope that wasn't too harsh. But with people's health on the line, many educators and practitioners need to sharpen up.

Hi Jimi,

Episode 9 just went live!

In tonight's finale, we’re going to be exploring ancient remedies for everything reproduction-oriented. There’s far more to this sacred aspect of ourselves than we were taught as teenagers in health class!

We’ll be uncovering ancient “bedroom herbs” that are revered for their ability to boost circulation to the reproductive regions of our body and others that promote fertility in those who are having difficulty conceiving.

You’ll also be shown some powerful green medicines for balancing out the testosterone and estrogen levels in your body. One of these herbs is a medicinal tree that grows in just about every forest in the northern hemisphere!

Don’t miss this exciting final episode of our Remedy docuseries!

I'm familiar with the current controversy over cooking with seed oils. I see food and health writers condemning sunflower and peanut oils in that category, and I disagree. I believe that if you would eat the food, then the oil is edible for you, and I love sunflower seeds and peanuts. To my thinking, the seed oils to avoid are the canola, safflower and cottonseed oils, those cheap oils coming from seeds you would never eat. In fact cottonseed oil is a waste product of the cotton crop. It shouldn't be wasted, but should perhaps be used as a biofuel. There is apparently avocado seed oil, which I've never seen in any of the stores, but if the label says "avocado oil" it comes from the fruit, not the seed.

So I'm interested in Jimi's take on that, and if it's already posted here maybe he can just direct me to that post.

Thank you.

 

[Jimi]

I have posted a lot on cooking oils but all I can tell you is they are somewhere in here, wish I could help but maybe I can shed some light on this subject for you.
Here's my take
The problem with many oils is the processing chemicals used more than the seed (sunflower and peanut oils). Also the temperature they are processed at make some oils more volatile to the human system. (They cause inflammation through out the body)
They say One French fry fried in bad oils is as bad as smoking one cigarette, how many French Fries do you eat in a meal.
Honestly all Fried foods eat away at your health, even frying a hamburger.
I hope this helps you, they explain it so much better than I can on the cancer summits which I have been posting live links for. (Links are only live for 24 hours)
They were talking about oils on the Stop Cancer Summit, you, and everyone here should watch it, so much info.
Oh and I have been posting live links to it so members here don't have to register. Gonna do that for the breathwork summit too, every vaper should watch it and on my links they won't haveta register.

I really appreciate your concern for your health, and I say this to all here too.

Dear Friend, An unhealthy diet. Lack of exercise. Genetic predispositions. These are the things many of us believe lead to illness. There is no question — all of these play a crucial role in overall health. But there is something else responsible for the state of our physical and mental health, something flying under the radar — pesticides. You may have heard of glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup. It is the most-sprayed pesticide in the world — and many experts feel it is also the most health-destructive chemical of our time. We are facing a global threat. The rampant use of these toxins means none of us can escape their insidious effects. But there is a solution, a way to counteract the negative impact these toxins have on our bodies. Over the years, I have come to see that pesticides are one of the biggest health threats we face as a society. I finally reached a point where I could no longer ignore the issue. Please join me as I dive deeper into this true health emergency in my webinar: How to Protect Yourself Against Glyphosate & Other Toxic Pesticides. You will hear how pesticides such as glyphosate destroy health at the cellular level, as well as about the one-of-a-kind supplement I developed, clinically proven to eliminate glyphosate from the body.* ---> Click here to get immediate access to the FREE webinar: How to Protect Yourself Against Glyphosate & Other Toxic Pesticides. ​ Here is more of what you can expect to learn: How chronic exposure to elevated levels of pesticides can lead to serious health issues, including chronic kidney disease, leaky gut, cancer, and neurological diseases The top sources of glyphosate and pesticides, including popular “health” foods contaminated with glyphosate How pesticides promote antibiotic resistance How pesticides are linked to celiac disease and gluten intolerance The natural compounds that bind and eliminate pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxins without causing uncomfortable “die-off” symptoms ---> Click here to get immediate access to this webinar! I look forward to sharing what I have learned about glyphosate and other toxins with you. We are in this together, and we can regain our natural state of true health and vitality together.

​ Hi Jimi, Addressing your health without a strategy or roadmap can be a waste of your time, money, and worse, your health. There’s a BIG idea in functional medicine that’s changing the approach for health: It’s the connection between your Brain, Immunity and Gut. Modern medicine seeks to compartmentalize these things but the truth is, you can’t solve any one of these BIG issues without embracing the others. >> Tap here to access the Brain-Immune-Gut clinical roadmap + video tutorial. ​ ​ Our friend, Dr. Peter Kan has created a sequential method to reverse chronic health symptoms. And this roadmap is the culmination of a decade of research and clinical practice, distilled into a truly easy-to-understand roadmap. The goal? To simplify and clarify the answer to: Where do I begin? This roadmap also shows you exactly where you stand in resolving your symptoms. And you'll also receive access to Dr. Kan’s upcoming Brain-Immune-Gut Masterclass, starting October 4th! If you’ve never attended this event before, definitely save the date! And if you have attended, Dr. Kan will have new speakers and some great new registration gifts to support you. Enjoy! See you there!​

Hi Jim, I’ve previously discussed how your gut microbiome influences essentially every aspect of your health. However, gut inflammation is also a crucial determinant of intestinal and whole-body health.* Dr. Villanueva is offering a special Inflammation-Fighting Masterclass to share prominent new case studies from her research. Identify signs of inflammation Shield your body against harmful triggers Cleanse existing inflammation Pinpoint the root of your inflammatory issues And effectively address the root cause of the issues sustainably

Gut health is influenced by two related variables: The intestinal barrier and the gut microbiota. Disturbances in either one of these factors can induce gut inflammation, inciting a chain reaction of damage that begins locally, and may spread systemically throughout the body.* It’s important to know that your body actually needs inflammation to stay healthy. Inflammation is used to repair damaged tissue and fight off unwanted microbes, BUT when it is unnecessarily prolonged, it becomes chronic inflammation, which is responsible for as much as 80% of all major human diseases!1 Most importantly, the standard American diet is a major cause of inflammation. This is often due to an excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates. Sugar and white flour are deadly poisons that have an inflammatory effect on the body. The good news is you can work to counteract inflammation with a whole food, nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich diet (staying away from the common inflammatory culprits). This complimentary Inflammation Reducing eBook is full of powerfully fortifying, immune-supporting smoothie recipes that you can make at home.

Understanding the cyclic process of inflammation will go a long way toward preventing and reversing almost all disease, slowing the aging process, keeping us healthy, feeling young and supplied with natural energy. I hope you’ll prioritize Dr. Villaneuva’s free and priceless Inflammation Masterclass to learn how you can claim ownership over your health and overall well-being while fighting inflammation. To your best life,

Hi Jimi,

We've got another loaded post from our new cornerstone series for you - What Are Environmental Toxins and How Can I Avoid Exposure?

This comprehensive article will reduce confusion around the topic of environmental toxins and empower you to make educated decisions for your health and the health of your family.

We are living in an increasingly toxic world today - and knowledge is power.



In this post, you will learn about...

• Different sources of pollution
• Health impacts of common environmental toxins
• Types of environmental toxins
• How chemicals can disrupt hormones, metabolism, and contribute to chronic disease
• Main sources of environmental toxins
• Best ways to reduce exposure
• Natural detoxification support for your body

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of toxins in the environment? If you envision things like plumes of billowing smoke infiltrating the air or hundreds of gallons of oil being leaked into the ocean, you’re certainly not wrong.


But these forms of environmental pollution and toxicity are only a piece of the puzzle. The truth is, the introduction of toxins into our environment can be much sneakier and much less obvious than you might think.

Happy Thursday, my fellow toxin avenger.

Yesterday, was my 20th wedding anniversary, and my wife and I had an excellent dinner at a local steakhouse here in Lansing, Michigan.

(When we lived outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, I proposed at Jimmy V's Steakhouse so we always hit one up on our anniversary)

During our dinner, one thing we commented on was the excellent service provided.

That's exactly what I want to provide for you, too.

With that in mind, I just saw one of the sneak previews of the Inflammation Masterclass V2.0, and holy cow!

As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to share this masterclass with you.

My super amazing friend Dr. V (also my fellow co-host of the Leaky Brain Summit two years ago) is revealing new case studies in the 5-day series.

They're soooo inspiring especially for those who've been struggling with chronic illness AND looking for solutions that ACTUALLY work.

Dr. V has nailed down a SIMPLE system that's reproducible and gets results.

She's sharing her knowledge and experience with you so you can learn…

➜ How FOODS can literally be poison to your body
➜ How ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS are one of the biggest root causes of chronic disease.
➜ How PRESCRIPTION MEDS are the third leading cause of death (and how they can disrupt your gut and can cause inflammation
➜ What your TRAUMA, BELIEFS, & EMOTIONS tell you about your predisposition to illness.
➜ PROVEN STEPS & PROTOCOLS used by Dr. V’s clients and now for the first time ever, shared with you.

You’ll also learn reasonable timelines for your healing journey, what data YOU can collect to track and monitor your progress, and more.

And here's another super healthy BONUS...

When you register today for the Inflammation Masterclass Series, Dr. V is sharing a special download that up until now, has only been available for her own clients.

This Environmental Toxins and Chronic Disease E-book is a great guide.

It shows you the most common toxins found in people today... and the chronic symptoms, conditions, and diseases they are known to cause.

I've said this before, and I'm saying it again...

Dr. V is one of the smartest, most passionate, and experienced health practitioners I've had the honor of knowing and working with.

If you haven't yet, register for her Inflammation Masterclass V2.0 and download the Environmental Toxins and Chronic Disease eGuide.

And, of course, Be Your Own Guarantee for your health and life.

Hi Jimi, More and more people are going plant-based. And that can be good news for animals and for the planet. But a lot of people have worries, too, like… Is a vegan diet healthy? What about protein? Should vegans take B12, K2, and other supplements? Is it okay to eat a lot of soy? And are vegan diets expensive? Here’s what the research says. Yours for the facts, Ocean Robbins P.S. A plant-based diet that incorporates a variety of whole foods and that utilizes a few specific supplements can be a safe, healthy, affordable, and delicious choice. But there are some things you need to know in order to do it right. Get the whole story (and debunk some widely held myths) here.
