And there was this idea that unless somebody fell below 300 nanograms per deciliter for a male, that they weren't,

that they shouldn't get testosterone replacement therapy.

Now it's kind of understood that if somebody chooses, they can usually find a doctor that if they're the low end of normal, they can push to the high end of normal or to the middle of the range so that they can get their symptoms away and just feel right to optimize within the normal range.

And so I'm relieved to hear that you're saying the same is true for women.

And I'm relieved to hear it because I think that having these strict cutoffs of like no periods for a year,

Well, I mean, it could take a long time to reach that.

I mean, what if it's, you know, two periods per year, right?

Does that mean that that person doesn't deserve the therapy, which is essentially what I think you're saying.

So the R in hormone replacement is the dangerous letter, in my opinion, because there is this notion of augmenting.

Exactly.

Okay.

So forgive me for going long, but I think the two situations, it would be great if both women and men could augment their hormones to be at the high end of normal or wherever puts them in a place where they're not experiencing symptoms.

I'd like to take a quick break to acknowledge one of our sponsors, David.

David makes protein bars unlike any other.

Their newest bar, the Bronze Bar, has 20 grams of protein, only 150 calories, and zero grams of sugar.

I have to say, these are the best tasting protein bars I've ever had, and

I've tried a lot of protein bars over the years.

These new David bars have a marshmallow base and they're covered in chocolate coating and they're absolutely incredible.

I of course eat regular whole foods.

I eat meat, chicken, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, et cetera.
