Welcome back to "Achieving Unlimited Health." In today's episode, host Dr. Cima takes us deeper into the vital but often misunderstood world of hormones. Building on the foundation of detox and nutrition covered in previous episodes, he explores how hormones are the true messengers in our bodies, shaping everything from our metabolism and mood to our sleep, motivation, and even longevity.

Drawing on over five decades of clinical experience, Dr. Cima breaks down why so many of our modern health struggles, like weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, and emotional ups and downs are actually rooted in hormonal imbalances. Dr. Cima unpacks how nutrition, toxicity, and lifestyle choices set the stage for these imbalances, why true healing means rebuilding the glands that produce our hormones, and why “test, don’t guess” is the mantra for personalized, lasting results.

Whether you’re struggling with energy, weight, or just want to feel your best at every age, this episode is packed with insights, real-life examples, and practical steps to help you take charge of your hormonal health naturally, and for the long haul.

Welcome back to Achieving Unlimited Health! In today’s episode, Dr. Cima goes beyond the numbers on the scale and dive deep into a crucial yet often overlooked piece of the wellness puzzle: toxicity. Building on last week’s revelation that inches, not pounds, reveal real health transformation, this conversation explores how toxins silently sabotage our health from weight gain to chronic illness, mental fog, and hormonal imbalance.

Dr. Cima shares eye-opening personal experiences, patient stories, and the surprising science behind how our bodies accumulate, handle, and struggle to detoxify the countless chemicals we encounter daily. From holiday eating binges and everyday products, to environmental exposures and even the shocking number of toxins babies are born with, you’ll learn how toxicity is at the root of so many modern health complaints, including the rise of childhood disorders and persistent weight struggles.

They reveal how your body defends itself by wrapping toxins in fat, explain why you might feel sick after the holidays, and highlight the importance of individualized blood chemistry testing echoing Dr. Cima’s mantra: “test, don’t guess.” Plus, the duo debunks common detox myths, breaks down how toxicity affects not only your body, but your mood and energy, and shares practical tips to start cleansing your environment and diet today.

Get ready for an empowering, science-backed conversation that shows true detoxification is not about deprivation, but restoration. Tune in to unlock new energy, clarity, and balance, for health without limits!
