<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1176683/open_sms">Send us a text</a>In this episode, I sit down with Steven Villagomez, a clinically trained exercise physiologist and one of the most grounded, data-driven health professionals I know. We unpack the real foundations of health—sleep, nervous system regulation, and metabolic recovery—and why none of your efforts in diet, fitness, or supplementation will work without getting these right first. Steven breaks down how simple tools like mouth taping, air quality, and HRV-based coaching can shift everything from glucose regulation to mental clarity.We also dive deep into the current conversation around testosterone, the FDA’s quiet reversal on long-standing TRT fears, and how most men are overlooking the root cause: lifestyle stress. Steven explains how regulating SHBG, improving recovery scores, and leveraging hormetic stressors like cold exposure and breathwork can dramatically increase natural testosterone levels—no prescriptions needed. This is a masterclass on what real health optimization looks like when you combine evidence-based practice with lived experience.Most importantly, we explore the mission behind the Make America Healthy Again movement and why it’s time to reclaim our agency from a system driven by pharmaceutical profits. Steven and I talk about the urgent need for preventive care, functional diagnostics, and coaching that connects the dots—because health doesn’t come from symptom management; it comes from understanding your body, asking better questions, and showing up with intention. 🎯 Apply for Health Optimization Coaching 🔗 <a href='https://coaching.knowyourphysio.org/video1729359042808'>https://coaching.knowyourphysio.org/video1729359042808</a> Visit KYP Blog: <a href='https://knowyourphysio.org/learn'>https://knowyourphysio.org/learn</a> Timestamps: [00:00:39] Importance of sleep for recovery.[00:05:21] Exercise physiology and its misconceptions.[00:08:35] Specialized generalists in health.[00:12:25] Make America Healthy Again.[00:17:14] Treating the patient, not symptoms.[00:20:57] Building trust with clients.[00:25:40] Testosterone FDA black box warning.[00:31:29] Testosterone and stress regulation.[00:35:08] Importance of sleep for health.[00:40:56] Message over money.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/andrespreschel">Support the show</a>
