Hi, Dr. Arland Hill, sitting out here on a beautiful sunny day with a lot of energy in the spring air. However, it’s pretty hard to appreciate this, even in the most pristine environments, if you’re feeling fatigued and constantly dealing with that. So what I want to do today is I want to share with you some of the rarely discussed, but typical reasons for fatigue. So let me run through a couple of these with you to give you a whole new perspective on fatigue, and a couple of ideas and options that you can pursue to gain some clarity and some energy.

“Should I do a fast?” With fasting receiving so much attention, you may be asking yourself the same question. Fasting advocates declare it the dietary approach to trump all others. Everyone should be routinely fasting. I say that is nonsense. There is no universally acceptable diet strategy. If there was, my job would be a lot easier. I wouldn’t have to listen to patient input, order labs and dedicate my time to deciphering the results. Instead, I could get away with recommending everyone follow pre-generated directions.
Instead, I want to apply some critical thinking to fasting. I have been applying fasting for several years professionally and personally, but this is my first dive into writing some content around it. I will be honest with you. Fasting frustrates me. Not because I am against it. I actually lean on it hard at times. It frustrates me because of all the misinformation about it.
So when asked, “Should I do a fast”, be prepared. A 30 second answer is not going to follow. This deserves more explanation.
I have had a surge in guys asking how to boost testosterone. The first thing I tell them is that if you are listening to all the conventional gibberish about raising testosterone, then I cannot help you. Why? Simple! Because your box isn’t big enough for me. If testosterone is going to increase on my watch, it’s because I taught you that there is more to correcting your issue than using a pellet, cream or injection to raise a lab number.
Are You Still a Man?
Are you still a man? What makes a man? More testosterone? Wrong! Kick butt, consistent motivation and energy, a solid physique with ample muscle, strength and lower fat, and a demanding libido with the ability to perform. This is after all the stereotypical male image for a reason.

Someone recently told me the best investment you can make is in yourself. Thinking numbers and accumulation, this at first was hard to wrap my head around. Most people think of investments in terms of the stock market and retirement. Planning for your future is important. So important that it should include thoughts beyond money. Often we focus so much on the mindset of accumulation for later that we forget to live in the moment.
That is when it hit me. I was not living in the moment. I was thinking about a distant day to come that frankly might not come. Without even realizing it, I was not living the best version of me. I was using my talents, but not in a God-inspired way. I wanted more, but rather than take the step, I played the game of life with a reserved attitude. I was too nervous about the consequences of taking a chance that might not work out.

With my recent move back to the country, my wife Leah and I are still working through what foods we should make the effort to continue to buy from the health food store. The irony of this is the same conversation came up when we lived in the city. So recently I took pause to ask, which items should I always buy from the health food store. These are the items that I am unlikely to find at chain stores, but rather specialty stores. I felt it necessary to share this list to help streamline your shopping trips.
I have family coming to visit this weekend. They asked if they could bring us anything from the health food store since they were coming out. The food items that I am giving you below came exactly from that list. This is what Dr. Hill and family requested and what we normally pick up on our trips.
Now before I start sharing this list, you should know that I still grow what I can, purchase from the farms market when available, and then use the health food store for fruits and vegetables. The items that I am sharing here are not the ones you typically find at the farms market.

Are you looking for ways to increase motivation? If so, then you are a member of a much larger group than you probably realize. Many people suffer from low motivation. Often when I discuss this topic with patients, the response is that their motivation is not what it should be. “I have to drag myself out of bed in the morning.” “I have trouble getting the things that I need done every day completed.” These are typical comments.
No matter where you live, you are prone to some form of natural disaster. These are always trying times. They challenge us physically, spiritually and emotionally. As I write this, neighbors are still struggling to recover from Hurricane Harvey. The flooding was catastrophic. Yet, what the flooding leaves behind can be worse. Its effects can last not days, but years. For this reason, it is important that you have a plan for overcoming mold toxicity.
Now I realize such a plan is pretty low on most people’s list. However, I can assure you after working with patients with mold and bacterial toxicities, you should put forth every effort to offset their debilitating effects.
Communion, the taking in of holy bread and wine, is practiced by more people than any other religious act. In recent years though, the use of holy bread made from wheat has come into question. Yet, reactions to foods containing wheat continue to become more common. With a religious tradition this commonly practiced, it was only a matter of time before a church authority figure stepped in.
Wheat has Changed
Gluten free has become one of the most popular dietary patterns. Most restaurants have some version of gluten free on the menu. But why the dramatic increase in demand for gluten free foods? This movement arose out of the observation that gluten is associated with a number of conditions. Such conditions include autoimmune conditions, cancer and obesity just to name a few. But the real story is that wheat has changed.
The wheat spoken of in Biblical times is much different than the wheat of today. Through the years wheat has changed. Often we hear of genetically modified crops and have a tendency to lump wheat into this category. The chemicals applied to wheat are also applied to genetically modified crops, likely accounting for the confusion. Wheat is hybridized, and therefore different than original varieties.

“Trust us. We are the government and we are here to help.” Famous last words many groups and people have heard just before being hood-winked. If you think the government has your best interest in mind when watching over your food, shame on you. You are being naive. Instead you should be asking, “What do they really know about the chemicals in your food?” The answer may shock you.
