Matt and Stacy have been on the road for 61 days
They are heading back to Virginia the day after this show was recorded

Stacy is looking forward to discussing this week's topic, as Sarah and Stacy have been wanting to cover this topic for a while now
This week's episode will include information on hormones and body parts, so if you typically listen to this show with little ears around you may want to be careful, depending on your comfort level
Sarah noted that this week's episode is about men's health, which is a really fun topic for the hosts
The discussion will focus on men's hormonal and reproductive health

If you aren't yet ready to discuss these topics with your little one, be sure to listen to this show without your little people around
Stacy is looking forward to sharing this discussion with her three teenage boys

(6:52) Q & A
This week's episode is inspired by a question from John
John writes:
"Hi ladies! I know if I say nice things, there's a better chance my question will be answered. Fortunately, that's easy to do. As a researcher myself I love that the Paleo View emphasizes facts over dogma. I know when you answer a question, I will learn something, and that is about the highest compliment I can give a podcast. I love that the two of you are interesting to listen to, and I have been a regular listener since (about) episode 20 (the early shows were good too!!). As one of your '6 male listeners', my question involves men's health. While there have been a number of shows dedicated to women's health, I have often wondered if there would be any link between a Paleo diet (or other dietary factors) and testosterone and/or erectile dysfunction. There's also a pretty substantial supplement business that claims to raise testosterone; any truth in these claims? I know there's the basic 'eat a healthy diet and exercise' but I thought maybe you could bring a more scientific approach to the question. I also feel that many women who have husbands/boyfriends dealing with these issues would be interested in understanding whether/how Paleo might help. Thanks!!"


Stacy noted that testosterone is not just a male hormone
She isn't sure what all this hormone effects and is looking forward to Sarah diving in on this

Sarah wants to take John's question and focus in on:
The role that testosterone has on men's health
The things that cause testosterone deficiency
What this looks like
What diet and lifestyle factors might be involved
What supplements will help raise testosterone levels


Testosterone as the predominantly male sex hormone has a major role in development and puberty
It also has a fundamen
