Dr. Hotze's Wellness Revolution

Only 2% of people make things happen, 8% of people know what happened, and 90% of people wonder what happened!  How many problems are we tolerating simply because we’ve forgotten that we can fix them?  Sometimes you have to swim upstream to solve problems instead of staying downstream and reacting to the results.  This applies to your health too!  Be proactive with your health and be ready to figh...

Research shows that women with low estrogen levels are 600% more likely to develop breast cancer! In 2009, Madelyn was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer after being on medication to block estrogen production to prevent heavy periods.  The chemotherapy taken for breast cancer caused her to go into menopause at the age of 47. She also suffered from extreme fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression,...

It seems there is a new CBD store popping up on every corner these days!  With so many different varieties – each having a different effect on the body – it is important to know what you are investing in and make sure it is a tested and certified product.  There are actually 400 different cannabinoids found in cannabis plants.  The difference between CBD oil and Full Spectrum Hemp oil is that CBD...

Do you remember in 1977 when people were eating poisonous mushrooms?  That event turned Dr. Berkson’s medical career around!  Dr. Berkson was trained very conventionally, but when people were dying of liver failure from eating poisonous mushrooms, his PhD study of fungi turned his career from conventional medicine to a more natural approach.  Dr. Berkson, along with his friend Dr. Fred Barter, dis...

Are you a spectator of your own life?  That’s where Lisa was 17 years ago, before she found answers at The Hotze Health & Wellness Center.  Lisa spent most of her life not feeling well.

She was overweight and to the point of not even being able to walk around her house – she crawled! She search...

Many women suffer from cyclical headaches or migraines which can sometimes be debilitating!  That’s what was happening to Renee, before she became a guest of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center.  Instead of just treating the symptoms, Dr. Hotze’s staff took time to listen to Renee and treat the underlying cause of the migraines, which was a progesterone deficiency. The migraines were gone by the ne...

With over 600,000 performed each year, Hysterectomy is the #2 surgery performed on women! It is commonly known as surgically induced menopause. However, many of the hysterectomy surgeries performed are not medically necessary.  Many of the problems and symptoms leading to a hysterectomy recommendation are from a hormone imbalance and can be treated naturally, without surgery, by replenishing the b...

Traditional medicine has become “symptom relief” as opposed to reversing disease and aging and patients have increasingly become profit centers for mainstream doctors. The pathology of medicine is “what do I do when I’m sick?” instead of “what can I do to stay healthy?”    In fact, one of the leading causes of death in the United States is iatrogenic medicine – which is illness caused by medical t...

This week, Dr. Hotze is joined again by special guest, best-selling author, and physician from New York City, Dr. Erika Schwartz.  She is the author of several top-rated books including “Don’t Let Your Doctor Kill You.” Dr. Schwartz started her career in ER medicine and opened her private practice 20 ye...

Allergy season is upon us and in full swing!  An allergy is the abnormal reaction by your body’s immune system to normal occurring substances in the environment.  There are food allergies – most commonly wheat, corn, egg, yeast, mile and soybean – and environmental allergies. Our plasma cells make antibodies to pollens and other allergens.  These antibodies bind to the mast cells causing them to r...

Our society has been led to believe that high cholesterol is the cause of heart disease and that statin drugs are the answer. The truth is that inflammation of the arteries is what causes heart disease and cholesterol is vital for our memory and improves the synapses in our brain! The real culprit for heart disease is sugar! Join Dr. Hotze today as he welcomes back Dr. Stephen Sinatra, author of T...

Did you know that the thyroid hormone governs every cell in the human body and is the #1 source of energy?

The symptoms of low thyroid (hypothyroidism) include fatigue, mood swings, depression, lack of focus, weight gain, low...

What you think about yourself is what you become.  Addiction is a habit that is self-created and developed over time for personal reasons. Physical dependence is a physical toxicity issue, not an addiction issue, and there’s no such thing as an addictive gene.  The Freedom Model runs counter-culture to what you may have heard before and gives hope to those who have failed traditional treatment.  J...

More money is spent on back pain than any other health issue – including cancer and heart disease!  Most medical doctors treat back pain with prescription pain medicines and muscle relaxers, which do nothing to heal the underlying cause and only mask the symptoms. Eighty percent of people will suffer from a bulging disc at some point in their lifetime! Chiropractic care treats back pain and other...

Gary Rogers’ health was limiting his life!  Two years ago, a friend recommended he visit the Hotze Health & Wellness Center and now he is healthy, full of life and 87 pounds lighter! The most noticeable difference though, is his mental clarity and sharpness, which was beneficial in the completion of his book “Unlocking the Power of Fatherhood.”   Join Dr. Hotze and his guest, Gary Rogers as they d...

The thyroid hormone is the sparkplug that helps us feel happy and healthy!  Most blood tests will show normal levels of the thyroid hormone because they are based off a standard deviation.  Just because you have a lot of thyroid in your blood, does not mean it is getting into your cells. Twenty five percent of the T3 (active) thyroid is made in the gut. A healthy gut is important for healthy thyro...

As women age, it is important to keep estrogen and progesterone in balance!  These hormones are produced during the menstrual cycle, however the amount of progesterone a woman needs as she ages increases, while the amount our bodies produce decreases.  This causes estrogen dominance and can produce a wide variety of symptoms such as anxiety, depression, migraines and insomnia. Most physicians will...

Most hysterectomies can be averted!!!  A hysterectomy is simply the surgical removal of the uterus.  It doesn’t necessarily mean the ovaries are removed, however that is often the case.  Most women are already experiencing a hormonal imbalance prior to seeking consultation for a hysterectomy. There has to be a balance between estrogen, progesterone and yes, testosterone!  Removal of the ovaries ca...
