EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, Arundhati Parmar interviews Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, about Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and the long-standing regulatory classification that places testosterone as a Schedule III controlled substance. Shah explains that testosterone was scheduled in 1990 following Olympic doping scandals — despite opposition at the time from the FDA, DEA, and the American Medical Association. More than 30 years later, he argues that the regulatory framework no longer reflects current clinical evidence and may be doing more harm than good. The conversation explores: The scientific evidence surrounding cardiovascular and prostate safety The differences between injectable and oral testosterone therapies The stigma and logistical barriers created by controlled substance status How GLP-1 drugs intersect with hormone health and muscle preservation The possibility of expanding testosterone therapy access to women Whether the current regulatory environment may revisit testosterone scheduling At its core, this episode examines whether testosterone is being regulated based on outdated controversy rather than modern clinical science — and what that means for patients navigating care today.

This episode is a masterclass in both men and women's hormonal health. These hormones in effect are the clocks of aging, so much so that biotech labs can now take a few data points, consult with AI and provide you with an almost exact time until major hormonal events like menopause. Which is crucially important because to optimize health and longevity the right type of hormonal support and treatment should be started years before that. This episode is for anyone wanting to understand how hormones are the backbone of overall health, aging slower, maintaining sexual function and looking younger for longer.Dr. Amy Killen, MD received her Bachelor's degree in Biomedical science from Texas A&M University and then her MD from UT Southwestern Medical School. She completed an Emergency Medicine residency at the University of Arizona.

When it comes to testosterone pellets vs injections for men, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, and that's the point of this episode. We walk through how we help patients decide between weekly (or twice-weekly) injections and 4–5 month pellets, and why creams often don't reach the same therapeutic effect for many men. We also talk about why symptoms and day-to-day function matter more than chasing a single “normal” number. You'll learn the practical differences between testosterone pellets vs injections for men, from convenience and dosing to follow-up and lifestyle fit. We explain how we monitor energy, focus, libido, sleep quality, and training recovery, and how we adjust safely over time. We'll touch on when splitting an injection dose makes sense and when a pellet schedule fits better. Our goal is to help you feel like yourself again, using a plan that's personalized, medically supervised, and realistic for your life. If you're comparing testosterone pellets vs injections for men and want guidance grounded in experience, this breakdown will help you make an informed choice.Visit this link to learn more: https://www.alluremedical.com/Subscribe to the podcast and leave a 5-star review!You can also catch this show on our YouTube channel and on all your favorite podcast platforms.Read the latest research and advice from the doctors at Allure Medical: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/ Dr. Charles Mok received his medical degree from Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, Chicago, Illinois in 1989.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy can feel confusing—especially with conflicting advice online. In this beginner-friendly episode, Dave Lee explains what TRT is, when it's truly needed, and why it's a lifelong medical therapy. He covers the core decision point (optimize lifestyle first vs. start TRT), what “good” protocols look like (stable levels via frequent low-dose injections or 20% trans-scrotal cream), and the red flags to avoid (infrequent injections, cookie-cutter add-ons like routine HCG and aromatase inhibitors, pellets/patches/gels with poor efficacy). Dave lays out the habits that make TRT work—sleep, protein-forward nutrition, steps, cardio, and resistance training—and clears up the biggest myth around fertility, including how it can usually be restored while staying on treatment. If you're considering TRT or just had low T labs, this is your practical roadmap—and why working with a true expert matters.

In this highly requested AMA, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon addresses the most critical questions surrounding male hormone health. Dr. Lyon tackles the fear, stigma, and misinformation surrounding Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), revealing why a low testosterone level is a major predictor of serious health issues like heart disease, bone fracture, and obesity.She breaks down the current medical consensus on TRT, the risks of replacement, the truth about dosing, and what every man over 40 needs to know about their hormone health. This is a must-watch to separate the bodybuilding myths from the medical facts.Chapter Markers0:00 - Intro: Low Testosterone is a Predictor of Heart Disease1:12 - The Penile Shrinking Myth: What Caused the Viral Frenzy2:20 - Testosterone Levels: The Truth About Aging in Men3:44 - The First Step: What Labs to Ask Your Doctor for4:22 - Why Men Need to Check Their Estrogen (Estradiol)6:13 - The Medical Cutoff for Low T and Androgen Sensitivity7:27 - Low T is Linked to Fatigue, Depression, and Fat Deposition9:27 - TRT and Cardiovascular Health: Is it Protective or a Risk?10:36 - Erectile Dysfunction Predicts Heart Attack Within 3-5 Years12:30 - The Stigma: Why Doctors Don't Check Testosterone13:00 - TRT vs. Steroids: Defining the Line14:21 - Infertility and TRT: What You Must Know15:18 - Safety: What are the Risks of TRT for Men?16:33 - The Stigma: Why Doctors Don't Treat Low T17:15 - TRT and Obesity: Treat Concurrently or Wait?18:10 - Menopause vs. Andropause: Why Men Don't Have to Decline19:34 - Testosterone Boosters (Ashwagandha, Tongkat Ali)26:11 - Different Forms of Testosterone Administration28:09 - Intranasal Testosterone for Less Impact on Fertility30:38 - Managing Expectations: How Long Until You Feel Better?33:00 - TRT and Muscle Gain: The Highs and Lows of Dosing36:47 - The Win-Win: Low Risk, High Reward39:00 - Blood Flow & Erectile Function: Cialis and Exercise40:17 - Semen Quality as a Marker for Overall Male Health41:29 - Parenting and the Cost of Unhealthy Humans41:45 - How to Raise Testosterone Naturally (The Pillars)42:29 - Low-Dose Cialis for Cardiovascular Health (Preemptive Strategy)43:59 - Dr. Lyon's TRT Journey and Early Concerns46:00 - OutroKey Takeaways:Low Testosterone is a major health risk. Low T is linked to an increased risk of bone fracture, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.TRT is often protective. Contrary to the long-standing myth, replacing low testosterone to a healthy range does not increase the risk of cardiac events. It is, in fact, protective against cardiovascular disease.Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a canary in the coal mine. ED can predict a heart attack within 3 to 5 years.Men can maintain high T levels. Testosterone levels in a healthy 75-year-old can be just as good as in a man in his 20s.The solution is often concurrent. For an obese or overweight man with low T, concurrent treatment with TRT and a lifestyle intervention is often the most responsible approach to provide the motivation needed for weight loss.Low-dose daily Cialis (2.5mg to 5mg) may be a viable preemptive strategy for cardiovascular health due to its blood flow benefits.This episode is brought to you by:Manukora - Get $25 off your Starter Kit at

Testosterone replacement therapy is one of the most misunderstood areas in men's health today. That's why I sat down with Dr. Eric Serrano, one of the leading voices in human evolution and longevity, to unpack the truth about TRT, when it's necessary, how it should be approached, and what too many people get wrong. Dr. Serrano and I discuss why proper testing, individualized protocols, and lifestyle foundations such as nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management must come first before any therapy begins. This conversation is about looking beyond quick fixes and understanding what it truly means to optimize health from the inside out. Key Takeaways: Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) must be assessed holistically, considering lifestyle factors, hormonal balance, and personalized needs. Regular exercise, faith, and community engagement play crucial roles in achieving longevity and enhancing life quality. Different forms of testosterone administration (injections, creams, orals) should be personalized based on individual health goals and biological responses. Dr. Serrano highlights the effectiveness of strategic cycling in hormone therapies to maintain optimal results and avoid dependency. The importance of personalized healthcare plans is paramount, as everyone's biochemical makeup and health goals are unique. More About Dr. Eric Serrano: Dr. Eric Serrano is a world-renowned family physician and performance expert with over 30 years of clinical experience. Known for his deep understanding of human physiology and his results-driven approach, Dr. Serrano has worked with elite athletes across multiple disciplines, developing strategies that enhance performance, recovery, and long-term health.

Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists, dishes on men's urinary problems, natural support for testosterone, and prostate cancer. Lifestyle factors—diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction—play an important role in all phases of urological health. Dr. Geo explains how he interacts with conventional urologists on the faculty of NYU Langone Medical Center where he practices. Why are men's urinary problems not just a matter of prostate size? How can natural strategies alleviate urinary difficulties without the need for surgery or drugs? Besides saw palmetto, what nutraceuticals can benefit men with urinary problems? Are there really natural herbal alternatives to testosterone? For men with prostate cancer who are under active surveillance, is there anything more that can be done to minimize their chance of eventually needing surgery or radiation? What nutraceuticals, vitamins and minerals have anti-prostate cancer potential?
Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists.

Every gym bro's on 'test' now — but is TRT actually helping or just creating jacked zombies? Nick Pell investigates on this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1172On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:TRT can address real medical issues. Testosterone replacement therapy can genuinely help men experiencing symptoms like chronic insomnia, severe depression, and extremely low energy levels. For some men, it can be life-changing treatment for legitimate medical conditions.Serious health risks are real. TRT carries significant risks including blood thickening (stroke risk), cardiovascular strain, permanent fertility loss, and dependency. These aren't minor side effects — they require ongoing medical monitoring and mitigation strategies like regular blood donation.Many clinics operate as cash grabs. The industry is flooded with clinics that will prescribe TRT to almost anyone willing to pay, regardless of actual medical need. These facilities often charge $200+ monthly for treatments that cost $35 elsewhere and use aggressive fear-based marketing.TRT creates physical dependency. Once you start, stopping requires medical supervision similar to coming off antidepressants or other serious medications. Your body stops producing natural testosterone, and post-cycle therapy may not restore normal levels, especially after long-term use.Make informed decisions based on symptoms, not just numbers. Before considering TRT, honestly assess how you actually feel — your energy, mood, and quality of life matter more than blood test numbers alone. If you feel fine but have "low" test numbers, you may not need treatment. Conversely, if you feel terrible but have "normal" numbers, discuss options with a knowledgeable doctor who takes your symptoms seriously.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Coaching and programming from Justin, Amanda, and William can be found here - https://highcallingfitness.com/ Summary In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coach Justin, Coach Amanda, and Coach Bill engage in a comprehensive discussion about hormone replacement therapy, particularly testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). They explore the importance of understanding individual health needs, the benefits of TRT on mental clarity and mood, and the significance of a holistic approach to health that includes diet and training. The conversation also touches on personal training updates, health challenges, and the impact of hormones on relationships and overall well-being. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of testosterone therapy, discussing the variability of optimal testosterone levels among individuals, the morality surrounding hormone replacement therapy, and the role of SHBG in treatment protocols. They emphasize the importance of individualized approaches to therapy, the limitations of current medical practices, and the fallacies of correlation and causation in medical research. The discussion also touches on the risks associated with PCT and the challenges of understanding medical knowledge in a nuanced way. Takeaways TRT can benefit those who are doing everything right but still feel off. Mental clarity and mood improvements are significant benefits of TRT. It's important to consider individual needs and not just follow standard protocols. Hormones play a crucial role in both physical and mental health. Trialing TRT can lead to positive lifestyle changes and improvements. The concept of optimization is more beneficial than therapy in hormone discussions. Normal ranges in blood work may not reflect optimal health. A holistic approach to health includes diet, training, and hormone levels. Testosterone can have profound effects on relationships and personal well-being. Understanding the nuances of hormone levels is essential for effective treatment. Optimal testosterone levels vary for each individual. The morality of TRT is a complex issue. SHBG levels should not dictate treatment protocols. Individualized treatment is crucial for effective therapy. Clomid is not a suitable alternative to testosterone. PCT may not be necessary for everyone. Oral testosterone has significant limitations. Inductive reasoning can lead to medical fallacies. Correlation does not imply causation in medical studies. Understanding medical knowledge requires humility and caution.
