In medical school, he suffered from terrible fatigue, barely able to function. He was told by numerous specialists that he was depressed or stressed, and simply needed to get more sleep and exercise more. As he discovered a treatment protocol that helped his symptoms, he knew there were many others suffering the same way he had. As a result, he opened centers treating patients with similar issues, who had seen countless physicians only to be told that nothing was wrong with them, yet they felt horrible. Show Notes - 0:00 - WIMTS Podcast Intro0:32 - Introducing Dr. Kent Holtorf0:47 - Welcome to Dr. Holtorf1:46 - What’s the Focus of Your Practice?4:24 - Immune Dysfunction is at the Core of Chronic Illness & Aging8:38 - What is a Peptide?10:38 - Dr. Holtorf’s Personal Health Crisis13:58 - Getting to the Root Cause17:23 - Testing & Diagnosing the Thyroid & Uses of T321:18 - STAR Report on Anti-Depressants & Bipolar Patients23:37 - Health Care Reform Discussion29:35 - Guise of ‘Evidence Based Medicine’30:50 - Contrasting Pharmaceutical Drugs & Peptides37:01 - Treating Autistic Kids39:46 - Doctors & How They Use Or Don’t Use Available Research45:55 - BB Commercial46:04 - The Keys to Longevity48:02 - Elite Culture & Peptide Access for the Masses49:40 - Type of Patients that Peptides Help59:44 - Practical Ways You Are Informing Other Doctors About Peptides1:01:50 - What Questions Should Patients Be Asking Their Doctors?1:04:17 - Recommendations for Finding Doctors Like You & Politics in Medicine1:07:59 - Hardest Part is Delivering the Peptide1:10:41 - The Hormone Discussion on Progesterone Vs.
