The Saturday Scalpel: Issue 23

From the desk of Dr. Kevin, MD

"Yes, I’ve seen some people do that… they’re idiots!"

Hello my favorite Scalpelhead,

Kevin here… snappy issue, step-by-step, zero nonsense.

You might have experienced “The” monthly chaos…

Cramps, mood swings, and energy at 2% again? Fun times.

Here’s the fact: it’s not just “hormones.”

Your cells send loud texts that say, “Tighten! Burn! Panic!”

Change the message. Change the month. Easy.

Well, most plates hand your body the shouty ink for those texts.

Result: belly clamps down, brain fog rolls in, sweatpants win.

But, there’s a simple food move that swaps shouty ink for whisper ink.

Muscles chill. Swelling cools. Energy stops pouting.

No crystals. No moon water. Just smarter building blocks.

The move is omega-3, mainly EPA (and DPA as the sidekick).

EPA flips the group chat from “clench and complain” to “relax and resolve.”

In real life: calmer cramps, friendlier PMS, less drag on your energy.

Most wins in studies? From more EPA.

DPA helps, but EPA is the rainmaker. (Like Max’s tiny role in my videos 😒)

So…

Here’s what to do:

1. Two fish nights each week.
   Salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout, or herring.
   Palm-sized piece. Pan, olive oil, salt, lemon. Done.

   (Air fryer counts. Fish sticks do not.)

2. Want a simple boost?

   • Pick a safe, tested fish oil with more EPA on the label.

   • Take 1 to 2 grams a day of EPA+DHA, with food, for 8 to 12 weeks.

   • If you see DPA listed, great… backup singer, not the star.

3. Track real life, not vibes.

   • Each cycle, write down: cramp pain (0–10), pain pills used, mood/energy (0–10).

   • If numbers drop, keep going.

4. Safety check.

   • On blood thinners or have heart rhythm issues? Ask your doctor first.

5. Lock it in.

   • Keep fish nights. Use the supplement as a tool, not a personality.

   • Support crew: sleep, protein, fiber, water.

By following this strategy, you’re not “fixing hormones”... you’re changing the ink your body uses to write pain and energy messages.

Alright…as promised I kept it short and snappy without BS…

Now tell me…

How was it? Did you like it?

Max reads every single email. (Like he has nothing else to do😑)

Until next Saturday,

Dr. Kevin’s recommendation of the week: (Not Sponsored)

Beekman 1802’s MILK-RX Cream… yep, the anti-aging peptide-and-exosome cream.

I’ve been testing this fancy MILK-RX stuff because polypeptides and exosomes are basically the future of skin repair. I expected results, but not this sexy….

Think retinol results without the face-melting irritation. It’s doctor-formulated, dermatologist-validated, and your skin barrier actually likes it.

Oh, and because I’m annoyingly persuasive, I convinced them to give you a discount code: itsdrmax20 

P.S. I want to make these memos perfect for you, so tell me, what did you think of today’s edition?
