Episode notes
Testosterone and Anger
- Testosterone leverages existing traits, intensifying pre-existing anger rather than creating it.
- Estrogen imbalance, often from improper dosing, is the primary culprit for mood swings and irritability.
Testosterone and Prostate Health
- Low testosterone, not high testosterone, correlates with increased prostate cancer risk.
- The flawed 1942 study, linking testosterone to prostate cancer, had only three participants and has been debunked.
