How I Overcame My 50-Year Struggle With Gynecomastia

Before we get started, here's a little story from one of my clients, Sammie Fields.
Hey there I’m Sammie.

I’m in my 70s now and I’m finally enjoying my life as a masculine-looking guy. I struggled with gynecomastia ever since puberty. Back in the day it was totally unheard of for a man to have breasts.

Man boobs were quite a rare thing. If you think having man boobs is bad now, try having them in the 60s. I spent my entire life in fear that someone would notice my breasts. I stayed away from women - I was horrified of the bedroom. I also stayed away from the beach and only got out wearing the thickest of clothing to try and conceal myself.

Back then there was no internet, and no information out there to help me. I tried everything I could to try and get rid of my man boobs. I lost weight and tried different diets but all to no avail.

One day however, just a few years ago I came across a newspaper article.

This article complained of how male fish in our waters were becoming feminized. Scientists had studied these male fish and found how they had developed feminine characteristics, even to the point of producing eggs! Apparently this was due to the prevalence of the female hormone estrogen in our water supply.

Apparently, due to most government water filtration systems (including the US), estrogen passes unfiltered right into our taps, and straight into your belly when you drink that glass of water.

The estrogen is being absorbed by us and is resulting in modern man having low sperm counts, fertility problems and gynecomastia. Heck it might even be responsible for the boom in the male cosmetics industry (joke).

So I went out there, did some research and found some other shocking sources of estrogen that exist especially in the modern environment, but were also there in the past albeit in much lower quantities and not as widespread back in the day.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well I lost my man boobs in my mid-sixties. The only way I managed to succeed was after I armed myself with the facts, and all the information I needed to know about the very root cause of my gynecomastia.

If I could get rid of my gynecomastia in my sixties, then I know for a fact that anyone else can do it too. So if you're about to give up or you have given up and are ready to face the world as a pseudo-man, then I'm here to tell you to wake up! Get out of that trance, shake yourself up and inform yourself of real working tactics that have been proven time and time again to help many thousands of guys lose their man boobs permanently using all-natural methods.

And I can't think of a better person to help you than my good friend Robert Hull. I leave you to his very capable hands and I'm sure that you will learn much on his new blog.

VAP(R) Cholesterol Test Helps OB/GYNs In Dual Role As Primary Care Docs

Physicians in the OB/GYN discipline regularly see patients looking for a one-stop primary care visit. While these obstetricians and gynecologists specialize in pregnancy and reproductive health, their practices are growing broader to include managing their female patients' risk of future heart disease.

Cardiodiagnostic company Atherotech Diagnostics Lab is helping OB/GYNs to understand metabolic syndrome abnormalities and cardiovascular health disorders and disease. Atherotech will attend the 59th Annual Clinical Meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) held April 30-May 4 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

Atherotech will showcase its VAP (Vertical Auto Profile) Test and offer blood draws to qualified attendees in booth #1744. Unlike the standard lipid profile, the VAP Test directly measures LDLc; therefore, fasting is not required.

Attending the meeting is Steven Foley, M.D., a Colorado Springs, Colo., OB/GYN and ACOG member, who routinely administers the VAP Cholesterol Test to patients at their annual exam. Foley specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of PCOS and will be available throughout the ACOG gatherings to discuss how he utilizes the VAP Test and other tests offered by Atherotech in his practice.

Atherotech Medical Advisory Board member and OB/GYN Robert A. Wild, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., is an experienced clinician and investigator with a focus on primary prevention strategies combining gynecology and preventive cardiology in women's health.

"Reproductive health and lipids pose challenges in primary prevention strategies for women," Wild said. "Issues such as reproductive endocrinology, PCOS, infertility, post- and peri-menopause and cardiovascular risk impact millions of American women and the OB/GYN is often their first source to turn to."

The VAP Test is widely covered by insurance, and results have shown a correlation between patients who have PCOS and low levels of HDL2, a highly protective subclass of high density lipoprotein (HDL). It also identifies markers of metabolic syndrome, often associated with early diabetes.

The VAP Test is the only expanded lipid test that routinely reports directly measured LDLc, which is included in the 22 reported cholesterol components - all at no additional cost. These components include Lp(a), apoB, apoA1, and the apoB/apoA1 ratio, making the VAP Test the only lipid profile that routinely reports all three lipid parameters - LDL, non-HDL and apoB - considered necessary by the American College of Cardiology and the American Diabetes Association.

Atherotech provides clinicians with a single source for the VAP Cholesterol Test and more than a dozen cardiovascular and metabolic tests, including C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP), LpPLA2, apoE genotype, NT-proBNP, cystatin C, T3 and T4 when TSH is abnormal, plus gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), a recognized cardiovascular risk biomarker.
