CleanMALE
Male hormones play a vital role in maintaining overall well-being and vitality. Nurturing CleanMALE involves understanding the key mechanisms of male hormone health, exploring testing options to assess hormone levels, and implementing strategies to support optimal hormone balance and overall health.
Why is it important to have CleanMALE?
​
-
Testosterone Production: Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including muscle mass maintenance, bone health, libido, and mood regulation. Understanding the factors that contribute to testosterone production and balance is essential for maintaining optimal hormone health.
​
-
Hormone Metabolism: Hormone metabolism involves the breakdown and elimination of hormones from the body. Supporting healthy hormone metabolism ensures that hormone levels remain balanced and in harmony with the body's needs.
How does the Cleanbody Method support CleanMALE?
There are three steps in the Cleanbody Method, and all of the steps support CleanMALE.
STEP 1: EVALUATE​
It is important for you to evaluate your male health on a yearly basis with your healthcare practitioner. In our CleanSTART program, we will support you in investigating your male hormone health using lab tests such as:
​
-
Hormone Testing: Specialized hormone tests can assess the levels of various hormones, including testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol, providing insights into potential imbalances that may contribute to male hormone-related conditions. If you are working with our Cleanbody Team, we may discuss ordering hormone testing to understand your hormone levels. Hormone tests can be performed through blood, saliva, or urine samples, depending on the specific hormones being assessed.
​
-
Environmental Toxin Testing: Assessing your exposure to environmental toxins is important, as certain toxins can disrupt hormone balance. Environmental toxin testing can help identify potential sources of toxins and guide mitigation strategies. Testing may involve analyzing heavy metals, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, indoor air quality, water quality, and personal care products for potential toxins that may impact hormone health.
​
STEP 2: OPTIMIZE
In Step 2 of the Cleanbody Method, we support you in optimizing your Cleanbody Pillars. The following Cleanbody Pillars support CleanMALE:
-
CleanFOOD: Consuming a balanced diet that includes essential nutrients supports hormone health. Incorporating foods rich in zinc, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants can provide the necessary building blocks for optimal hormone production and balance.
​
-
CleanFIT: Engaging in regular exercise, including resistance training and cardiovascular activities, promotes testosterone production and overall hormone balance. Aim for a combination of strength training, endurance exercises, and aerobic activities to support CleanMALE.
​
-
CleanMIND: Chronic stress can disrupt hormone balance. Implement stress management techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or engaging in activities that promote relaxation to support optimal hormone health.
​
-
CleanROUTINE: Quality sleep is crucial for hormone regulation. Prioritize adequate sleep duration and establish a regular sleep routine to support optimal hormone production and balance.
​
-
CleanENVIRO: Minimizing exposure to environmental toxins and endocrine-disrupting chemicals can help maintain hormone balance. Opt for natural and non-toxic personal care products, choose organic foods when possible, and be mindful of potential toxins in household products.

STEP 3 SUPPORT
In Step 3, we will explore additional supplements and treatments that can provide support in nurturing CleanMALE, if needed. While a balanced diet and lifestyle are key, certain circumstances may benefit from additional interventions, including nutritional supplements, herbs and homeopathy, advanced nutrition plans, supportive treatments, and compounded medications when available for use.
