Yeah. So part of the challenge is that testosterone is still considered by many to be fringe medicine. And the reason for that, in my opinion, is that it's not taught in the medical schools. Still. So people, you know, we have remarkable amounts of information, wonderful scientific data about testosterone. What's amazing about it is that it's a natural chemical in the body.

And it's also true in all these different animals, all the vertebrates have testosterone or something very close to it, including fish. Right. And so we have natural models to even look at testosterone. The wealth of research into testosterone is phenomenal, right? And yet people... We have studies in the top medical journals in the world, right?

New England Journal has really liked all the RCTs about testosterone. JAMA has published it. We have stuff in Lancet. All the top journals have data on this. And sort of the regular physician who wants to keep up with the literature, you know, they trust those journals. But it hasn't impacted what they do.

And so what we have is we have a medical condition, testosterone deficiency, used to be called hypogonadism, where people have too little of it, men or women. Men get most of the publicity around this, and it's better studied in men, but it's true for both. And do you know that testosterone deficiency either predicts the development of or is associated with

Men get most of the publicity around this, and it's better studied in men, but it's true for both. And do you know that testosterone deficiency either predicts the development of or is associated with

many of the most important medical conditions we deal with in healthcare. So obesity, diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, mortality, dementia, osteoporosis, these things are all associated with the deficient amount of testosterone in the body.

And beyond that, these men, let's focus on men for a moment, these men have symptoms that often make them, I say the testosterone deficiency is a reduced state of the human condition. There are data. I told you there was a golden period of testosterone research from the late 1930s to about 1940.

1940, this guy, Dr. Joseph Aub, AUB, writes an article in New England Journal of Medicine that says this is one of the most potent medications that we have in our armamentarium. And they described men who were basically, they called them broken men back then. Broken men, that was the term. There were these men who just, they lacked confidence. They were quiet. They were introverted.

They were introverted.

And they got testosterone and they became better. Now, I suspect that we didn't have blood tests back then, not till the 1970s. I suspect that many of these men who underwent these trials had extremely low levels. And the lower your level, the more of a benefit you're going to see, right? And the more the low level is going to impact who you are and how you carry yourself.

But men, this makes a huge difference in how people live their lives. And so the fact that it's not yet accepted by what, you know, I'm a mainstream doctor, but I'm going to call this not accepted by mainstream medicine is our number one problem. And what gets compounded then is that because there's a tremendous need, people now know that testosterone deficiency exists.

They know somebody, they heard of somebody who got treated. They say, maybe I can get some too. If the And so some of the docs that are doing this are docs that the sort of, I'm an academic guy, you know, it's like science-based, but the academic docs see those groups of physicians and they say, I don't want to get involved with that. I don't think that well of those practices.
