The REAL Cause of Low Desire & ED (It's Not Just "Low T") | Prime Podcast Ep. 348

This is the "hard conversation" about men's sexual health that most people are afraid to have. In this powerful episode of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies argue that the mainstream focus on "Low T" and "Erectile Dysfunction (ED)" medication is just a band-aid for a much deeper, more alarming epidemic: a crisis of low arousal and desire.

This problem is no longer just for older men; it's affecting men in their 20s and 30s, directly linked to plummeting men's infertility rates and ruining relationships. Dr. Skip pinpoints overstimulation and desensitization from pornography as the primary cause, creating a "disease in the mind" that real-world intimacy can't compete with. Learn the steps to break this cycle, re-sensitize your brain, and reclaim genuine intimacy.

Key Takeaways / In This Episode: * (04:06) Why "Low T" pills and ED medication don't fix the core problem of low arousal. * (04:46) The #1 cause of psychological desensitization in men. * (07:18) How overstimulation (starting with video games and social media) creates unrealistic expectations and destroys intimacy. * (09:57) The downward spiral of desensitization and its devastating impact on marriage. * (12:38) The simple, direct solution: How to "quit" artificial stimulation and re-sensitize your brain to your partner. * (22:05) The surprising link between long-term stimulant (ADHD) medication and men's infertility. * (24:00) It's okay to talk about this: How to have the "hard conversation" and get help.

E347 | The 30/30 Protein Rule: Building Muscle & Burning Fat for Men's Health | The Prime Podcast

It's Week 2 of Men's Health Month! In this vital episode, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss of The Prime Podcast are talking about the single most important nutritional component for men: PROTEIN.

Many men in their 30s and 40s struggle with weight gain and low energy, wondering why they can't eat like they did in their 20s. This episode provides the answer. Dr. Skip explains how a man's metabolism shifts after age 22 and why building muscle is the only true way to burn fat and support healthy testosterone levels.

Discover the "30/30 Rule" – consuming 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking – as the essential first step to "win the morning" and prime your body for fat burning. Learn why amino acids are the true building blocks of muscle, why working out fully fasted can damage your gains, and how "thinness does not equal fitness." This episode is a must-listen for any man looking to lose stubborn visceral fat, naturally rebalance Low T, and build sustainable strength and health.

Key Takeaways:

• To lose fat, you MUST build muscle. Muscle is your body's primary fat-burner.

• The 30/30 Rule: 30g of protein within 30 minutes of waking is critical.

• Amino acids are the essential building blocks for muscle.

• Wait 60-90 minutes after waking to drink coffee to avoid a massive cortisol (stress hormone) spike.

• Working out in a fully fasted state can cause your body to burn its own muscle for energy.

• Focus on strength and health, not just being "thin." "Thinness does not equal fitness."

• Losing visceral fat is the key to naturally rebalancing Low T.

Gentlemen, it's time to lead your family in health. Start by focusing on protein and strength. Share this episode with the men in your life! For questions or to get the supplements discussed (like Perfect Amino), connect with us at [email protected] (mention the podcast!).

E346: Men's Silent Struggle: Why the "Tough It Out" Mentality is a Health Crisis | The Prime Podcast

It's November, and that means it's Men's Health Month. In this powerful kick-off to a four-part series on men's health, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss of The Prime Podcast tackle the single biggest barrier to wellness for men: the "silent struggle."

Why do men avoid talking about their health problems? This episode explores the deep-seated cultural stigma that equates showing pain with weakness. This "tough it out" mentality, often ingrained since childhood, causes men to ignore pain, dismissing it as "background noise" until it leads to a "catastrophic failure."

Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie discuss how this unaddressed chronic pain becomes a source of chronic stress, leading to a "disregulated nervous system" that can shut down other vital functions, from GI health to sexual function, and is directly contributing to declining longevity. This episode is a call to action for men to break the silence, become proactive leaders in their family's health, and understand that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Learn how chiropractic care is essential for regulating the emotional nervous system and managing the body's response to chronic stress.

• Men's Health Month (Movember): An annual event in November focused on raising awareness for key men's health issues, including mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

• Silent Struggle: The widespread tendency for men to suffer from physical or mental health issues in silence, avoiding discussion due to societal pressure or embarrassment.

• "Tough It Out" Mentality: A cultural belief that men should endure pain without complaint, viewing any admission of pain as a "sign of weakness."

• Disregulated Nervous System: A state where the body's nervous system is locked in a chronic stress response, often due to unaddressed chronic pain, which negatively impacts all other bodily functions.

• Proactive vs. Reactive Health: Being proactive means taking preventative steps to maintain wellness, while being reactive is the "tough it out" approach of only seeking care after a "catastrophic failure" (severe pain or disease) occurs.

• Catastrophic Failure: A term describing the point where the body finally breaks down after ignoring chronic "background noise" pain for years, resulting in a debilitating condition.

Key Takeaways:

• The "tough it out" mentality is a dangerous stigma preventing men from seeking necessary healthcare.

• Men often ignore chronic pain until it becomes "background noise," which is a sign of a disregulated nervous system.

• Unaddressed chronic pain and stress can lead to "catastrophic failure" of other organ systems (e.g., GI, heart, sexual function).

• It is NOT a "sign of weakness" to talk about health issues; it is an essential part of being human and a good leader.

• Fathers have a crucial role in modeling proactive healthy habits for their children, breaking the "silent struggle" cycle.

• Chiropractic care helps regulate the emotional nervous system, decrease internal stress, and improve the body's ability to heal.

Stop suffering in silence. If you or the men in your life are ignoring health issues, it's time to be proactive. Share this episode and start a conversation.

E345: Surviving Sugar Season - Proactive Immune Support for Sickness & Health | The Prime Podcast

Welcome to "Sugar Season"! That time from Halloween through the holidays when sugar intake often skyrockets, coinciding perfectly with cold and flu season. In Episode 345 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss discuss how this sugar overload impacts your immune system and what proactive steps you can take to stay healthy "in sickness and in health."

Learn why excess sugar feeds bacteria and viruses, potentially suppressing your immune response. This episode provides essential strategies for bolstering your family's defenses naturally. Discover the importance of getting outside for fresh air, Vitamin D, and beneficial micro-exposures. Understand the critical role of gut health and how to support it with ferments like kombucha and proper fiber.

E344: The Constipation Epidemic - Natural Solutions for Poop Problems (From Infants to Adults) | The Prime Podcast

Are you or someone in your family struggling with constipation? It's far more common than you think, affecting over half the population – from newborns to seniors. Yet, it's often dismissed as "normal" or incorrectly labeled as "hereditary." In Episode 344 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss declare this a true constipation epidemic and dive deep into the real causes and natural solutions.

This comprehensive discussion covers everything you need to know about achieving healthy bowel function. The doctors explore essential nutritional strategies, emphasizing the importance of magnesium, proper hydration, movement, and why choosing plant soluble fiber over common supplements like Metamucil (psyllium) is crucial for feeding your vital microbiome. They also discuss the temporary effects of stimulants like caffeine.

Beyond diet and lifestyle, this episode highlights the critical, often-overlooked neurological connection to gut health. Learn how:

• Your nervous system is the master controller of your entire GI tract.

• The birth process can create misalignments impacting infant pelvic nerves and leading to early constipation.

• Digestion begins in the mouth, and issues like poor latch can affect the whole system.

• Introducing solids (especially bananas) before a baby gets their first tooth can disrupt the gut, contributing to leaky gut and future food sensitivities.

• Chronic GI conditions like Crohn's or IBS are NOT genetically predetermined (hereditary myth) but often stem from impaired neurological communication.

Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie explain what constitutes a healthy bowel movement (and why it should feel good!) versus signs of dysfunction like hemorrhoids or pain. Discover practical tips like the corn/beet test for transit time and understand why addressing the neurological root cause through chiropractic care is key to resolving constipation for good.

Trending Terms Explained:

• Constipation: Difficulty or infrequency in passing stools. Discussed as a widespread epidemic, not a normal state.

• Plant Soluble Fiber: Fiber from plant sources (vegetables, fruits) that feeds the microbiome, essential for gut health. Contrasted with psyllium husk (Metamucil).

• Microbiome: The community of bacteria in the GI tract influencing digestion, immunity, and brain function – your "second brain."

• Leaky Gut: Increased intestinal permeability, allowing particles into the bloodstream, potentially caused by introducing solids too early.

• Nervous System Control: The brain and nerves regulate all digestive processes; interference (subluxation) can cause constipation or diarrhea.

• Birth Process Trauma: Physical stress during birth potentially causing misalignments that affect nerves controlling infant bowel function.

• Hereditary (Myth): Debunking the idea that constipation or diseases like Crohn's are genetic, highlighting neurological response patterns instead.

Key Takeaways:

• Constipation is common but NOT normal or hereditary.

• Aim for 1-2 comfortable bowel movements daily.

• Focus on hydration, movement, magnesium, and PLANT SOLUBLE fiber.

• Your nervous system dictates gut function – address the root cause.

• Birth trauma is a major factor in infant constipation.

• Wait for the first tooth before introducing solids to prevent leaky gut.

• Chiropractic care is vital for optimizing the nervous system control of the GI tract.

CALL TO ACTION: Stop normalizing constipation! If you or your child are struggling, seek answers that address the root cause. A pediatric or family chiropractor focused on the nervous system can be a key part of your health team.

Is Your Chiropractic Care Plan a Sales Pitch or a Health Strategy? Understanding the Difference | The Prime Podcast

Have you ever left a doctor's office with a recommended care plan and felt a wave of skepticism? It's a common experience, especially in chiropractic, where the purpose behind a structured plan is one of the most misunderstood aspects of care. Patients often turn to social media forums, asking friends, "Does this seem right?" creating a massive gray area filled with confusion and misinformation.

In Episode 343 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies pull back the curtain on this "taboo" topic. They explore why the concept of a care plan is so divisive and why clear communication between a doctor and a patient is the most critical factor for a successful health outcome.

This episode is an essential guide for any patient who wants to feel empowered and confident in their healthcare decisions. The doctors break down the two fundamental philosophies of care you'll encounter:

• Symptomatic Care: The reactive, "quick fix" approach. This is for when you just want immediate pain relief for a headache or back pain and have no long-term goals.

• Vitalistic Care: The proactive, wellness-focused approach. This is for patients who want to address the root cause of their issues, prevent them from recurring, and achieve a higher standard of overall health.

Using a brilliant "fruit salad vs. veggie salad" analogy, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie illustrate what happens when a patient's expectations don't align with a doctor's standard of care. They discuss why a chiropractor who is truly invested in your long-term wellness will always recommend a plan, and why "just come in when it hurts" can lead to a cycle of recurring problems and the false belief that "chiropractic didn't work."

Furthermore, they tackle the thorny issue of insurance, explaining why the best chiropractors are often out-of-network and why that should be seen as a green flag indicating a commitment to wellness over "sick care."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Communication is Key: A successful healthcare experience depends on the patient and doctor being on the same page with their goals and expectations before care begins.

• Vitalistic vs. Symptomatic: Understand which philosophy your chiropractor follows. Are they focused on proactive wellness and fixing the root cause (vitalistic), or just reactive pain relief (symptomatic)?

• A Care Plan is a Standard of Care: A structured care plan is not a sales pitch; it is a doctor's professional recommendation based on your history, exam, and health goals to achieve lasting results.

• Don't Ask the Internet, Ask Your Doctor: If you have questions about your care plan, the most qualified person to answer them is the doctor who created it based on your specific case.

• Insurance Doesn't Dictate Health: The best healthcare providers often operate outside of insurance networks because they refuse to let a third party dictate a standard of care that is focused on sickness, not wellness.

Ever wondered if X-rays are really necessary before a chiropractic adjustment? Or have you been told they're an optional, skippable step? In this vital episode of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies tackle the growing misconception around spinal imaging and explain why skipping this step could put your health at risk.

Many people seek chiropractic care for back pain, neck pain, or general wellness, but not all understand the importance of a proper diagnosis. An adjustment without a clear picture of your spinal health is just guesswork. Drs. Skip and Julie reveal what a trained chiropractor can see on an X-ray—from hidden fractures and dangerous pathologies to congenital abnormalities that could make a standard adjustment harmful.

Discover why the X-ray and the chiropractic profession were born in the very same year and how this foundational tool is a non-negotiable "standard of care" for ensuring patient safety, achieving better results, and truly understanding the root cause of your health concerns. Don't let a practitioner gamble with your spine. Learn how to advocate for the highest standard of care.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why spinal X-rays are a foundational standard of care in chiropractic, not an upsell.

• The difference between "guessing" and "knowing" when it comes to your chiropractic adjustment.

• Real-life examples of serious conditions (cancer, aneurysms, hidden fractures) that were discovered through routine spinal imaging.

• A compelling case study of how an X-ray solved the mystery of a teenager's chronic migraines.

• The truth about radiation exposure from X-rays versus everyday activities like flying.

• What to do if your chiropractor has never taken an X-ray and how to find a practitioner who prioritizes your safety.

Stop Adding Cereal to Your Baby's Bottle! Why This Outdated Advice is Harming Your Child's Health | The Prime Podcast

Are you a new parent struggling with a baby who won't sleep, seems constantly fussy, or is always crying? Have you been told by a pediatrician, a family member, or a parent in an online group to "just add some rice cereal to the bottle" to fill them up? This advice, though often well-intentioned, is a dangerous relic from the past that could be setting your child up for a lifetime of health issues.

In Episode 340 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies deliver a powerful and urgent message to all parents: STOP adding cereal to your baby's bottle. They expose this common practice as unscientific, outdated, and detrimental to an infant's developing system.

This episode is a comprehensive takedown of one of the most persistent myths in infant care. The doctors explain why this advice is not only outside the scope of most pediatricians' nutritional training but is fundamentally at odds with a baby's physiology. You will learn why infants lack the essential enzymes to digest complex starches, how this practice can lead to severe digestive distress, and the shocking link between early introduction of solids and the modern childhood obesity epidemic, insulin resistance, and blood sugar dysregulation.

More importantly, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie reveal the real reason your baby is uncomfortable. It's rarely a hunger issue. Instead, they dive deep into the neurology of infancy, explaining how common misalignments (subluxations) in the neck and mid-back from the birthing process can interfere with a baby's ability to swallow, digest, and even feel comfortable enough to sleep.

If you're feeling frustrated, judged, and desperate for a real solution that addresses the root cause of your baby's discomfort, this episode is your definitive guide.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A Dangerous Myth: Adding cereal to a baby's bottle is outdated advice that can cause significant harm to their digestive and metabolic health.

• Digestive Immaturity: Babies do not produce the necessary enzyme (salivary amylase) to properly digest the starches in rice cereal, leading to digestive upset.

• Long-Term Health Risks: This practice is linked to the development of enlarged fat cells, insulin resistance, and an increased risk of childhood obesity.

• It's Not Hunger, It's Discomfort: Fussiness, poor sleep, and excessive crying are often signs of neurological and structural issues (subluxations), not a need for more food.

• The Neurological Connection: Misalignments in the neck and mid-back can directly impact a baby's ability to swallow and the function of the stomach valve (cardiac sphincter), leading to reflux and spit-up.

• The True Solution: Instead of masking symptoms with food, the primary issue must be addressed. A pediatric chiropractor can identify and correct the underlying misalignments, allowing the nervous system to function properly and providing lasting relief for your baby.

If you are struggling with your baby's feeding, sleep, or digestive issues, and you're tired of receiving outdated advice, it's time to seek a better solution. Find a pediatric chiropractor in your area to be a part of your trusted healthcare team.

Why Your Child's 'Growing Pains' Are A Warning Sign for Pelvic Misalignment | The Prime Podcast - Episode 339

Is your child waking up at night complaining of deep, aching leg pain? As a parent, you've likely been told it's just "growing pains"—a normal phase they'll eventually outgrow. But what if that common advice is wrong?

In this crucial episode of The Prime Podcast (Episode 339), Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies expose the truth behind this widespread misconception. They reveal why "growing pains" are often a major warning sign of an underlying structural issue: pelvic misalignment. Learn how simple childhood tumbles and falls can create imbalances in the pelvis, leading to nervous system interference and causing the frustrating, recurring leg pain that keeps your child (and you) up at night.

Discover the tell-tale signs that the pain isn't from growth, such as when it consistently affects only one leg. The doctors explain how this core issue can be connected to other common childhood conditions like chronic constipation, early motor delays, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and even painful PMS in the teen years.

Most importantly, get empowered with simple, at-home checks you can perform to spot these subtle imbalances in your child's posture and muscle development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie advocate for a proactive, natural approach to health that addresses the root cause of the pain, rather than just masking the symptoms with medication.

If you're tired of feeling helpless and are looking for real solutions for your child's discomfort, this episode provides the valuable insights and actionable steps you need to foster a foundation of true health and proper alignment for your family.

MEDICAL TERMS EXPLAINED

• Subluxation: A chiropractic term for a misalignment or altered position of the vertebrae or pelvic bones, which can interfere with the nervous system's ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body.

• Pelvic Misalignment: A condition where the pelvis is not level, balanced, or symmetrical. This forces the body to compensate for the imbalance, often leading to uneven weight distribution, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, and pain, particularly in the lower back and legs.

• Nervous System Interference: When a subluxation or misalignment puts pressure on, irritates, or distorts nerves, it disrupts the flow of vital information between the brain and the body. This interference can negatively impact muscle function, organ health, developmental milestones, and overall well-being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Pain is NOT a normal part of growth; it is a critical signal that indicates an underlying issue.

• "Growing pains" that consistently occur on one side of the body are a strong indicator of a structural imbalance, not uniform growth.

• The primary cause of these pains is frequently an unlevel or misaligned pelvis, often resulting from accumulated falls and minor traumas experienced throughout childhood.

• Parents can learn practical, simple methods to observe and identify signs of postural and muscular imbalances in their children at home.

• Adopting a proactive approach, particularly through chiropractic care, can effectively identify and correct the underlying structural causes, offering a real and lasting solution beyond temporary symptom management.

Doc, My Back Hurts! Low Back Pain Relief Through Nervous System, Sleep & Chiropractic Solutions

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care — but the cause isn't always "tight muscles." In this episode, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie explain how the nervous system, posture, sleep, and recovery habits all play a crucial role in lasting relief.

What You'll Learn in This Episode: - Why muscle tension is usually a symptom, not the root cause of back pain - The role of your nervous system in controlling posture and pain responses - Ice vs. heat: when to use each for maximum relief - How poor sleep and stress amplify pain - Why women (especially during pregnancy & postpartum) need a pelvic-floor-aware approach - Action steps you can take right now to support your spine health
