| 0:00.0 | What is up you guys? Welcome to another edition of the Fundamental Health Podcast. |
| 0:03.8 | This is one I have been looking forward to for a long time. |
| 0:07.6 | This is a podcast with Joe Whitaker about testosterone and all of the important nutrients found in animal foods that help us make this super important hormone. |
| 0:18.2 | For men, there will be no strangers to the importance of testosterone. |
| 0:22.1 | But women may not understand the fact that testosterone is important for women's libido, women's body composition, all sorts of important things for women's health as well. |
| 0:29.6 | We break it all down in this podcast. |
| 0:32.5 | And I am super excited to announce that at Heart and Soil, we have just released whole package, which is our sort of male hormone optimization formula with testicle, liver and blood. |
| 0:44.4 | It has the most testicle of any desiccated organ settlement on the market, and you can get it at heartandsoil.co. |
| 0:51.3 | I don't know if you guys are eating testicles, but I can tell you anecdotally when I eat bowl testicles, when I get them from white oak or another farm, they feel good when you eat them. |
| 1:04.3 | And I think you guys will really appreciate this whole package supplement. |
| 1:07.8 | And it's not just for guys either. |
| 1:09.4 | I think women can get benefits from eating testicle containing supplements as well, like whole package. |
| 1:13.9 | So check it out. Heartandsoil.co. I am super excited about this one. And I know that it is going to benefit so many in the community with regard to overall nutrients. |
| 1:25.3 | And just all the good stuff that's found in organs in general. |
| 1:29.5 | As I do on these podcasts, I wanted to read you guys a review because I am so stoked about what we do here. |
| 1:36.3 | And this one is about fire starter. This is from Michael D. He says I was stuck at a wait for quite a while. I added the fire starter without changing anything else. |
| 1:44.8 | And before the week was over, the fat started coming off again. I'm sold. Plus the entire ordering process was great. |
| 1:51.1 | Thank you. How cool is that you guys? Obviously not a controlled experiment, but he says he doesn't change anything. |
| 1:57.1 | He adds fire starter. Wait starts coming off. |
| 1:59.1 | If you understand the chemistry around steeric acid, if you've heard the podcast that I've done on steeric acid in the past, |
| 2:04.6 | this will make sense to you. Steeric acid is a long chain saturated fatty acid found an animal fat primarily that turns on your mitochondria and turns on fat burning. |
| 2:14.4 | Obviously, that's high level, but I've talked about it a ton in the past. We make both of these supplements and heart and soil. |
