How Men's Health Is Affected By Stress & Blood Sugar Imbalance

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Rupa Health.
  Many of us are living our lives out of balance and are
stressed from the time we wake up until the time our heads hit the
pillow. The problem is that chronic stress causes inflammation and
is behind many of the health conditions that affect men
specifically. Stress can drive low testosterone, for instance,
which is a common problem for men that drives many other health
issues.    In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. George
Papanicolaou, Dr. Louis Ignarro, and Jessie Inchauspé about low
testosterone and its effects on men, the heart-protective molecule
nitric oxide, the importance of minimizing blood sugar spikes, and
much more.    Dr. George Papanicolaou is a graduate of
the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board
certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. He is
also an Institute for Functional Medicine practitioner. Upon
graduation from his residency he joined the Indian Health Service.
He worked on the Navajo reservation for four years at the Chinle
Comprehensive Medical Facility, where he served as the Outpatient
Department Coordinator. In 2000, he founded Cornerstone Family
Practice in Rowley, MA. He began training in Functional Medicine
through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he
established Cornerstone Personal Health, a practice dedicated
entirely to Functional Medicine. Dr. Papanicolaou joined The
UltraWellness Center in 2017. Dr. Louis Ignarro is a medical
research scientist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for
his breakthrough discovery of how nitric oxide positively impacts
health and longevity. His groundbreaking research on nitric oxide
paved the way for—among other innovations—Viagra. He is an
award-winning Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Molecular &
Medical Pharmacology at the University of California, Los Angeles,
and has his PhD in pharmacology, with over 35 years of experience
teaching. Jessie Inchauspé holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics
from King's College London and a master’s degree in biochemistry
from Georgetown University. Her work at a genetic analysis start-up
in Silicon Valley made her realize that, as the key to good health,
food habits beat genetics. In her first book, Glucose Revolution,
Jessie shares her startling discovery about the essential role of
blood sugar in every aspect of our lives, from cravings to
fertility, and the surprising hacks to optimize it while still
eating the foods we love.   This episode is brought to you by
