Did you know that testosterone levels have dropped 53% worldwide in just 45 years, and it's affecting both men and women? In this episode of the C3 Podcast: CODE Conscious Conversations, we welcome Carlos Bertonatti, co-founder of the Medical Health Institute.

We dive into what is destroying our health that no doctor will tell you about: endocrine disrupting chemicals and nutrient depletion in our food. We also explore why bioidentical hormones differ from synthetic versions, why essential amino acids are more important than protein for cellular health, and how women can prevent the devastating health decline that follows menopause.

Carlos Bertonatti is the co-founder of the Medical Health Institute, a Miami-based clinic specializing in hormone optimization, functional medicine, and preventative health. With over a decade of experience and 45,000+ lab data points, he has put himself through countless routines, diets, and optimization protocols to find what truly works.
