HIS HIGHNESS TESTOSTERONE,
HER MAJESTY ESTROGEN
“Just as food causes chronic disease,
it can be the most powerful cure.” Hippocrates
Quick-start
Check the face mapping chart in your Toolkit and scan your face for any signs or symptoms of inflammation on your skin, hair, nails and teeth. If an inflammation doesn’t go away in two weeks you may want to consider doing a hormone or food sensitivity test, consulting your family doctor or a physician.
Why
Healthy hormones have always been attributed to youth, libido and longevity. The positive effects of hormones were known to Ancient Chinese long before our modern day medicine. Recent studies suggest that in order to preserve
natural youth, smooth skin and long-term beauty women need to preserve an optimal amount of estrogen. On the other hand, for men to preserve libido, muscles and traits of masculinity one must have a fair amount of growth
hormone and testosterone production to make cells regenerate quicker.

Here is the list of some healthy tips and behaviors you may indulge and start practicing for the next two weeks until you develop a habit loop:
Follow the 12 Laws of Karma

The Great Law
The Law of Creation
The Law of Humility
The Law of Growth
The Law of Responsibility
The Law of Connection
The Law of Focus
The Law of Hospitality and Giving
The Law of Change

Practice the Art of Patience
Anytime you wish for something say this affirmation, “I have everything I need, I live in abundance, things that I wish for will come to me when I’m ready”
Try Crying Meditation
Practice Weeping a.k.a. Crying Meditation. Keep your eyes focused on one still object; try not to blink until your eyes become filled with tears. Observe your thoughts and breath. Don’t force it, become a spectator. Do it in a quiet, isolated place in order to let go all your oppressed emotions out through weeping. Psychic tears even contain a natural painkiller, called leucineenkephalin perhaps, part of the reason why you might feel better after a good cry!
Eat during 12-Hour Window
If you eat during 15 hour window throughout the day begin by shortening the window to 1 hour every 2–3 days until you start eating during 12-hour window. This will help you eat less, save money on food and keep you accountable towards your goal.
Delay your First Meal of the Day
Depending on your schedule you may want to delay your first meal up to 2 hours upon waking up. Consider switching to grape seed oil, coconut oil, chia seed oil, avocado oil, almond oil instead of some commercial sunflower and olive oils available on the market.
Balance your Hormones
Try whole fresh cuts instead of salami or sausages. Add more garlic, onions, turmeric, black pepper into your meals. Vitamin D in particular has been shown to have a significant role in both men’s and women’s hormonal health and fertility. Consider vitamin D testing and supplementation. Be caution with nutrition plans that significantly restrict energy (e.g. carbs) especially in women who are more sensitive to the effects of restriction but also in men with lower hormonal reserves.
Animal Flow Movement
Try not lifting weights and work with you own body-weight for 2 weeks. Use some animal flow mobility exercises such as salamdra walk, lizard walk, bear crawl, bird-dogs, crab reach, beast walks, crab walk, inch worm, duck walk, swimmer, pike walk, etc. You may also combine those movements into locomotion. Try one of these infant development FUNctinal exercises such as toe sucking, pendulum back swings, baby army crawls, knee rocks, four limbs crawls, superman, etc.
Navy Seal Training
Use body-weight functional training principles for a week. You may want to look into calisthenics, navy seal or TRX training. Try voodoo floss, or get a flossing band if needed in order to treat injuries. Buy strength/resistance or mini bands to carry with you when you travel.
