#10 - Dr. Bob Porzio: Leaving emergency medicine for longevity and integrative medicine, the pro natural bodybuilding circuit, why you should worry if the doctor says you're "normal", and how to think about hormone health differently

Ep 10: Dr. Bob Porzio is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine who specializes in Longevity and Integrative Medicine. Using integrative therapies, including a combination of bioidentical hormone therapy and personalized nutrition, fitness, and stress-reduction regimens, Dr. Porzio helps restore his patients’ well-being, libido, energy, mental clarity, and overall quality of life. In this episode, Dr. Bob talks about how fitness has been a way of life - from the natural bodybuilding circuit, competition through CrossFit, and becoming a Tactical Games athlete. He tells it how it is and makes no bones about it. He talks about why we're sick as a nation, why health is essential, why you have to do the work. Time is spent on the epidemic of poor health in America, why the emergency room is a turnstile, and why he left emergency medicine altogether. This episode tells the truth about what physicians can and can't do to help you if you're sick due to the privatization of hospitals and the economics of the medical insurance system. We also find out how and why you should think about your hormones differently. Iron Sights podcast is hosted by Scott Howell. *Please make sure to leave a review if you enjoyed the podcast!
