Episode notes
Declining Testosterone and Fertility
- Testosterone and sperm counts have dropped 50% in the last 50 years, likely due to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
- This drop affects even thin, healthy individuals, and is a significant concern for male fertility.
TRT and Infertility
- While Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) addresses low testosterone, it can cause infertility.
- TRT acts as a male contraceptive by shutting down natural testosterone production.
Mechanism of TRT-Induced Infertility
- Injecting testosterone shuts down the body's natural testosterone production through negative feedback.
- This leads to testicular atrophy (shrinkage) and dependence on TRT.
