The Low Testosterone and Estrogen Connection
Men, Health and Low Estrogen? A Short Analysis of the News
In the past few days we've seen numerous articles populate the major media outlets ( NY Times, LA Times) questioning the different connections between low testosterone, low estrogen, and men's health. While this information is, for many, confusing, it is also completely short-sided and rather misleading.
For men with low testosterone and high levels of estrogen--or anyone with estrogen dominance--these articles are sure to leave you sc

The Dairy Estrogen Link
Estrogen and Dairy: What's the Connection?
A hundred years ago none of this mattered. There were other, severely life threatening concerns to worry about. Antibiotics, hand washing, clean water, and wealth have taken care of most of those concerns. But today we have new threats to our health, and I'd argue, one of those major threats in the prevalence of hormone mimickers in our environment and, subsequently, in our bodies.
I state this before writing more about eliminating estrogen from t

The Real Causes of Estrogen Toxicity
Rooting out the Sources of Estrogen Dominance
The negative effects of estrogen dominance and estrogen toxicity are wide and far reaching in the body, and a comprehensive, holistic approach is required for safe, effective, and complete estrogen detoxification. Single ingredients like DIM and most of the "formulas" on the market are shallow in their effects and reflect a total misunderstanding of the cause and the physiology of the body. While there are many straight forward answers and solu

RAW Aphrodisiac is Greater than an Aphrodisiac
The Art of Synergy and Synthesis
When I sat down to write this article, the title that popped into my head was "Intelligent Design: RAW Aphrodisiac." What better way to capture the true essence—the underlying wisdom—of this remarkable elixir than "intelligent design"?
Yet, sadly enough, the phrase "intelligent design" has already been taken—taken and misused—and it is not a phrase that I would like to invoke here.
So I chose the greater-than symbol.
Because this formula&

Royal Androgenic Pycnogenol & testosterone Pine Pollen
The Royal Androgenic Herb: Pine Pollen
Androgenic herbs, as I’m sure you already know, are herbs (and other nutritional supplements) which increase blood androgen levels, including the four main androgens: Androsterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and testosterone.
At RAW Forest Foods, we break the androgenic herbs into three classes, because different herbs work in different ways to increase androgen levels in the body. These three classes are the supplementors,

Shilajit Extract Capsules
Pure, True Himalayan Shilajit Extract Capsules
I love Shilajit so much and have had such a wide-range of benefits from taking it (everything from skin, nails, and hair to increased energy and mental capacity), but I’ll be the first to admit that it can be hard to swallow. Literally. Because Shilajit has an intense bitter taste. I have definitely developed several tonic elixir recipes which utilize Shilajit as a base and are incredibly delicious, but in the day-in and day-out of life,

Epigenetic Effects of Exercise
Understanding the Epigenetic Effects of Exercise
As is true for so many things in this life, the best answer is the simplest answer. This is concept is known as Occam's razor, named after William of Ockham, who posed that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. And Occam's razor is not lost on the body; it is not lost on health and longevity.
In the health and longevity community, we hear a lot about epigenetics, and for good reason: epigenetics are a road-map of health that w

Nettle Root Beta-Sitosterol Capsules
A Highly Standardized Nettle Root Extract
Nettle root is one of my all time favorite herbs and it really speaks to much of the wisdom that can be found in using plants as medicines--that is, plants as herbal allies. Nettle Root is a seemingly simple plant which provides a host of protective and enhancing effects on the (specifically) male body. If there were to be a "multivitamin" of herbs for men, Nettle Root would be it. The active constituent (phyto-chemical) in nettle root is Beta-Sito

The Real Problem Behind Low Testosterone Explained
Is the Search to Increase Testosterone Missing the Point?
Many of the products that we carry at RAW Forest Foods deal specifically with aiming at restoring healthy, vital testosterone levels, in both men and women. In fact, we started RAW Forest Foods to be the first company in the US to offer RAW Pine Pollen Powder. This opened up the conversation about the overabundance of estrogen in the environment and the underabundance of testosterone in our bodies. It is a widely recognized medical truth
