During our discussion, you'll discover: -The effects of a night of poor sleep or more alcohol consumption than normal...7:04
- Lower testosterone as one might expect
- Other activities (watching a fight, viewing porn, etc.) will elevate testosterone levels
- Understand the story of your life: environment, history, genetics, etc.
- Phase 1: CBC, metabolic, lipid, DHEA, total testosterone, TSH, IGF-1, FSH, LH, PSA, SHBG, estradiol
- CBC is for overall health
- DHEA can be used to regulate circadian rhythm, overall health, rather than testosterone
- Free testosterone
- IGF-1 levels reveal sleep, stress, recovery; potential red flag for pituitary dysfunction
- High PSA levels may be indicative of prostate problems
- SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) levels rise on high fat, low carb diet
- Thyroid medication is one of the most overused medications
- Testosterone therapy is not intended to be a permanent solution
- Lack of sleep, stress, etc. affect the brain's communication w/ the body regarding testosterone production
- Many variables can affect estrogen levels, which makes it an unreliable indicator of hormone health
- There are no absolutes; everyone's body absorbs, responds differently
- Trust factor: tried and true
- Other tests such as the DUTCH test are sourced out when necessary
- Every 6 months is the gold standard for the max time between tests
- Longtime patients are self-experts
- Potential to identify other health concerns when blood is tested regularly
- Pregnalone, progesterone; everything else is fairly similar
- Women typically don't take enough testosterone
- 30 day cleanse w/ low-dose testosterone cream yields favorable results
- Women have a wreck of hormones after having a baby
- Testosterone elevated to optimal levels helps everything else fall into place
- Low dose = 2.5-4 mg
- For men: 80% use testosterone cream (healthiest and safest means, no needles or gels)
- Doses can be adjusted based on where they feel the best
- Injections: split dose throughout the week
- It's one or the other (injection vs. cream) most of the time
- Consistent application of small doses is far preferable to infrequent larger doses
- The best place to apply the cream is the back of the knee, forearms, or shoulders
- It's where the highest concentration of testosterone is already located
- Patients have reported imbalanced numbers after applying scrotally or vaginally
- Testosterone and the Cardiovascular System: A Comprehensive Review of the Clinical Literature
- Age-Related Low Testosterone
- Understand the tool before using it (similar to driving a car or owning a gun)
- Be healthy first before testosterone therapy
- Testosterone should not be used as a band-aid when you're not addressing foundational principles of health
- 90% of testosterone therapy is done improperly
- The ideal client is someone who's aware of their health, living a conscientious life, and just need a push in the right direction
