Microplastics are now showing up inside human reproductive organs, while endocrine-disrupting chemicals wreck hormonal health from every angle. The standard medical system often dismisses these environmental toxins as normal despite the massive impact on performance and longevity.

Miguel Bertonatti was a shredded eighteen-year-old suffering from erectile dysfunction, while his brother Carlos was surviving on whiskey and sixty milligrams of Adderall just to function. They stopped accepting normal as a diagnosis and built a medical practice that treats the individual rather than the average. 

In this episode, we discuss why standard lab ranges often fail to catch serious issues and how genetic mutations like MTHFR might be the actual culprit behind ADHD symptoms. The brothers also break down their seven-tier optimization hierarchy, which moves from fundamental hormone balance all the way to advanced genetic repair. 

"Every male testicle in 2024 was found to have microplastics, meaning, when your real hormones need to attach, there's no place for them." - Miguel Bertonatti
