Women Want Strong Men

Testosterone is the only natural hormone treated like a street drug—and the FDA just signaled that could change. In this episode, Amy Stuttle sits down with Rick Collins, Esq. (“Legal Muscle”)—one of the most well-known attorneys in the hormone, supplement, and peptide space—to break down the recent FDA expert panel on testosterone in men and what it could mean for patients, prescribers, and the industry. You’ll hear them unpack: Why experts are pushing to de-schedule testosterone (currently Schedule III) The argument that low T is a health crisis, not “vanity” Why the panelists want the prostate cancer warning stripped and the outdated narrative retired The ongoing shift on cardiovascular risk, including the FDA’s removal of the black box warning and discussion of the TRAVERSE trial The reality that most prescribing is effectively off-label under today’s criteria—and why that may change A candid breakdown of the “research use only” peptide crackdown, why over-regulation fuels black markets, and where legitimate medical oversight fits in   Follow Rick on Instagram at @RickCollinsESQ for updates as this story develops.   Rick Collins Instagram Click Here Victory Men's Health Click Here Victory Men's Health YouTube For questions email podcast@amystuttle.com Disclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional healthcare services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Most TRT clinics don’t have a testosterone problem—they have a standards problem.   In this solo episode, Dave Lee recaps a month of travel and teaching (Melbourne’s Trinitas Trade Expo and the Silverback Summit in Orlando) and shares what still shocks him every time he steps outside his “echo chamber”: the abysmally low standard of care that has become normal in men’s health—globally.   Dave breaks down the biggest TRT red flags he’s seeing in December 2025, including: The “Burger, Fries, and Coke” protocol: a cookie-cutter combo of testosterone + AI + hCG sold by default because it’s profitable—not because it’s indicated Clinics using fear-based selling (“You’ll get infertile,” “You’ll grow boobs”) to upsell ancillaries before you even know what you need Minimal lab work that only checks if you “qualify,” not what’s actually driving symptoms (and why comprehensive assessment matters) The newer trend: clinics that push peptides on everyone—often as trendy add-ons rather than targeted tools tied to a real need Why prophylactic aromatase inhibitor use is one of the clearest warning signs of poor care The red flag that shows up later: no real follow-up, support, or education—leaving you to crowdsource your health online   This episode is a practical checklist for anyone considering TRT (or already on it) who wants to identify clinics that prioritize outcomes over upsells—and find care that’s individualized, evidence-informed, and actually supportive.   Dave Lee Instagram Click Here Victory Men's Health Click Here Victory Men's Health YouTube For questions email podcast@amystuttle.com Disclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional healthcare services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

In this solo episode, Dave Lee tackles one of the trickiest parts of hormone optimization that doesn’t show up on lab work: your mind. He breaks down the placebo and nocebo effects, what “psychosomatic” actually means, and why your symptoms are real even when they’re driven by the brain—not just the bloodwork. Dave explains how anxiety, over-monitoring every sensation, and trying to micromanage your TRT protocol from Reddit can completely derail your results, even when you’re working with a great provider. He lays out what it looks like to be a compliant, self-aware patient, why you must outsource protocol design to a competent clinician, and how to regulate your reactions so you don’t turn a good treatment plan into a car crash. This is a must-listen for both patients and providers navigating the messy intersection of biology, psychology, and hormone replacement therapy.   Dave Lee Instagram Click Here Victory Men's Health Click Here Victory Men's Health YouTube For questions email podcast@amystuttle.com Disclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional healthcare services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Amy Stuttle talks with Scott Brunner, CEO of the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding, to cut through the noise on compounded medications.

Fertility specialist and Harvard Award scholar Gabriela Rosa joins Amy Stuttle to cut through confusion about infertility—what it is, when to seek help, and why “optimize first” beats “wait and see.” Gabriela explains how the healthcare system’s 12-month definition can delay care, why fertility is a team sport (male and female factors contribute about 50/50), and how sperm quality changes every 3–4 months. She outlines her diagnostics-first method, shares program results (78.8% live birth rate in a cohort with an average of four years of infertility), and breaks down common pitfalls—from incomplete semen testing to overlooked infections and lifestyle drivers.   You’ll hear practical guidance on timelines, AMH and egg reserve, miscarriage workups, what to do before IVF, and how to fast-track next steps if you’re starting later in life. Gabriela also addresses hot-button topics like long-term birth control and Tylenol use in pregnancy with an evidence-level lens.   Guest: Gabriela Rosa, founder of The Rosa Institute, which has supported 140,000+ couples in 110 countries.

He covers when TRT is truly necessary, why optimizing natural production should always come first, and how environmental, lifestyle, and developmental factors are changing the hormonal landscape.

This week’s health headlines: Medicaid changes, FDA hormone panel, and what it might mean for you. Amy Stuttle is joined by Dr. David Yablonsky to unpack two hot-button healthcare topics making headlines. First, they break down Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and its proposed Medicaid work requirements discussing how it could impact patients, hospitals, and taxpayers, and exploring potential solutions for breaking cycles of poverty. Then, they shift to the FDA’s recent panel on women’s hormone therapy, including the push to remove outdated black box warnings from estrogen and progesterone, the knowledge gap in menopause care, and why bio-identical hormones could be a game-changer for women’s health.   Victory Men's Health Click Here Victory Men's Health YouTube For questions email podcast@amystuttle.com Disclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
