Will the DEA End Telemedicine for TRT?

On February 24, 2023, the Drug Enforcement Agency announced proposed rules for prescribing controlled substances via telemedicine after the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency expires.   The proposed rules were open for public comment for only thirty days, after which DEA would presumably issue final regulations. The proposal created two new limited options for telemedicine prescribing of controlled substances without a prior in-person exam. The options were complex and more restrictive than what has been allowed for the past three years under the covid waivers.    The DEA’s proposal would discontinue the ability for telemedicine prescribing of controlled substances where the patient never has any in-person exam (with the exception of a prescription period of no more than 30 days’ supply). The initial reactionis the rules are more restrictive than necessary and impose concerning limitations and burdens on clinicians and the patients they treat.   In response to more than 38,000 comments on the proposal, the DEA and the Department of Health and Human Services submitted a draft temporary rule to the Office of Management and Budget that provides a temporary extension of telehealth flexibilities for controlled substance prescriptions. Details about the rule will become public after it is published in the Federal Register. I don't know when that will be.

Just the Tip: Will Testosterone Make me Taller?

Testosterone, a hormone primarily associated with the development of male sexual characteristics, plays a role in bone growth and maturation during puberty. However, once a person has reached the end of their puberty and their growth plates have closed, which usually occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood, further increase in height is unlikely, regardless of testosterone levels. During puberty, testosterone promotes the growth and fusion of the long bones, such as those in the arms and legs, which can result in an increase in height. However, once the growth plates at the ends of these bones close, usually by the age of 18-20 years in males, further height increase is not possible as the bones have reached their maximum length. It's important to note that the effects of testosterone on height are influenced by various factors, including genetics, nutrition, and overall health. If you have concerns about your height or development, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your individual circumstances.   TestosteronePodcast.com

Just the Tip: How Testosterone Works 113

Testosterone is a hormone that belongs to a group of hormones called androgens, which are responsible for the development and maintenance of male sexual characteristics. Testosterone is primarily produced in the testes in males, although it is also produced in smaller amounts in the adrenal glands in both males and females. Testosterone exerts its effects in the body by binding to androgen receptors, which are present in various tissues throughout the body. Once testosterone binds to these receptors, it can enter the cell and interact with the cell's DNA, leading to changes in gene expression and protein synthesis. This, in turn, results in a wide range of physiological effects on different tissues and organs in the body. Some of the key functions of testosterone in males include: Development of male sexual characteristics: During puberty, testosterone stimulates the development of primary and secondary male sexual characteristics, such as the growth of the testes, penis, and scrotum, deepening of the voice, growth of facial and body hair, and increased muscle mass. Sperm production: Testosterone is necessary for the production of sperm in the testes, which is essential for fertility. Muscle and bone growth: Testosterone helps to stimulate protein synthesis, leading to increased muscle mass and bone density. Regulation of mood and cognition: Testosterone can influence mood, cognitive function, and energy levels, although the mechanisms underlying these effects are complex and not fully understood. Regulation of red blood cell production: Testosterone stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, which helps maintain normal hematocrit levels. It's important to note that testosterone levels in the body are regulated by a complex feedback system involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and testes. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medical intervention that involves supplementing testosterone in individuals with low testosterone levels, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. TRT can be used to treat certain medical conditions related to testosterone deficiency, but it should always be done under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider, as improper use of testosterone or other androgens can have potential risks and side effects.   www.testosteronepodcast.com

How to Mimick a Fasting State with Food with Dr. Antoun

How does Prolon work? Why does it work? What even is it?  Today I'm talking with Dr. Joseph Antoun, CEO of L-Nutra, former Director of Health Policy at the University of Chicago, and former Editor in Chief of the Journal of Health Systems and Reform. We'll be talking about a recent study by The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism on the effects of a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) on type 2 diabetes in adults; and to reveal the findings of which that suggest it is the first-ever nutrition-based program found to promote regression and remission of diabetes and—the truly groundbreaking discovery—support temporary reversal of diabetic nephropathy.    The fasting-mimicking diet has gained recognition in recent years as an approach to weight loss and overall human longevity. Until now, options for slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy have been limited to controlling glycemia, lipidemia, and blood pressure. This new study suggests a game-changing approach. It's the first time scientists and doctors have discovered an effective reversal of kidney disease through nutrition.   Fasting is not just for diabetic patients. Everyone can benefit from the process and Dr. Antoun explains how and why.   www.testosteronepodcast.com Find a TRT Clinic - All Things Testosterone Podcast
