In the natural health podcast world, Testosterone has gone from getting no attention to an overwhelming amount of attention... but usually in only one area: Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). There is so much to discuss that it could never fit in one episode, but we have to start the conversation somewhere. How does aging effect testosterone? Do all men lose testosterone as they age? Can anything be done to reverse that? Is TRT the right answer for all men with lower testosterone? Should you make a medical decision based on a radio ad and a fancy office? Also, the American Red Cross is in desperate need of blood donations as a result of donor levels being the lowest they've been in 20 years following the pandemic. Make an appointment to donate, if you can! You very well could save a life! Plus, Google searches for "sleep" hit an all-time high last year. Were you one of the millions dealing with a lack of sleep last year?
