The next morning when I woke up, I was showing me how to use a pulse ox. My heart rate was in the 60s for the first time at 21, while I was able to physically see objective proof that just with the one treatment, it had definitely changed my sympathetic output.

Host – Woman [00:00:48] What’s your approach for addressing the unique issues of women, you know, coming to you with health issues?

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:54] A lot of people don’t believe that women need testosterone because they feel it’s a men’s hormone. And that’s not accurate at all. Right. When you want to fix a marriage.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:13] Thanks for having me. It’s going to be I think it’s be lots of fun.

Host – Woman [00:02:15] I think it is two items feeling very so in fact, I love when I have this problem of like, where do we even begin? But I feel like a good place to start is for you to tell us a little bit about your background and how you even got in this space that you’re in right now, speaking in like so many different areas of health and wellness.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:33] The funny thing is a lot of it was just because I had problems with me. So I was the fat guy. I didn’t like it. And so I tried to figure out how to fix it. And going through fixing that, I had figure out all the hormone function and stuff like that. And then I started figuring out that a lot of the things that we were having problems with were very easy to solve, if you just look at the chemistry. And so I just ended up waking up at 4 a.m. for over a decade reading medical research and saw, Wow, I was able to figure out lots of little pieces that to help me and my patients. And so we just started building out on it and it’s been lots of fun from there on out.

Host – Woman [00:03:06] So because now you’re an author, but you also have a supplement line. Is that right?

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:03:12] Yeah. So a lot of the stuff, a lot of stuff that we build out, like how to fix, you know, limes or celiac or whatever is heavy nutrient dependent. Because when you’re trying to fix biochemistry, you have to supply the biochemistry. So we started doing a lot of supplementation. And it’s kind of funny because after I did my Ted Talk on cannabis replacing opioids with cannabis, one of my buddies was giving me grief about it. He was like, Hey, you figured out the pain thing. If you can figure out the addiction part, you’ve got this thing solved. And so I started doing research on it and I figured out we figured out I learned that we figured out how to fix addiction in the 60s with psychedelics. And so I started a charity for veterans and first responders to break PTSD in addictions, using psychedelics. And so all the profit from the supplement company on the online something, that company goes to that chair.

Host – Woman [00:03:59] I love it. And let’s just dive right into a little bit into that if you guys.
