Dr. Josh Axe: How to Boost Testosterone and Heal Nutrient Deficiencies Naturally | TUH #071
About this video
Brecka interviews Dr Josh Axe on testosterone, nutrient deficiencies and natural approaches to hormone health. Axe argues every drug causes some nutrient deficiency, criticises doctors giving bleak prognoses, recounts being told a spinal infection could leave him disabled or worse before recovering, and discusses mindset, purpose and his mother’s cancer journey as formative experiences.
Key takeaways
- Axe claims there is no drug without a nutritional deficiency associated with it
- He argues dire prognoses themselves can harm patients by removing hope
- Axe states he was told he faced chronic pain, disability or death from a spinal infection about eighteen months before the interview
- Both speakers discuss testosterone and thyroid issues as, in their view, often rooted in nutrient deficiency
