There's a certain way that you, for example, are successful because you've got drive and passion and skill. But if you lost 5% of you, you could get through your day. You could do podcasts. You could write. But it would be a chore for you. And you would lose some of what it is that makes you, you. And that's what I would see with a lot of these men. They'll lose their sense of humor, right?

They lose their sense of play. They lose their reserves. People think testosterone makes people irritable and aggressive. It does not.

But irritability happens when people don't have emotional reserves. And they lose those reserves when their gas tank is approaching empty. So... Yeah. So I'm sorry for that little. I think it's really important.

But in the end, what I'm really saying is, you know, here we're talking about numbers and they're important and they're going to help people out there who are listening and hopefully health care providers, too. But in the end, what we're talking about are people. We're talking about people.

And I've had discussions with prominent endocrinologists and other academics, but why don't you take this testosterone business more seriously? We've got great research. And they say things like, I remember this one conversation, this very, you know, academically important person said, well, I think we'll take it more seriously once we have studies that show important differences in outcomes.

And what she's talking about are mortality rates or complication rates of this, that, or the other. But what gets lost in all of that is the individual person. The individual person. And one of the most gratifying things for me, and part of why I fought on with the testosterone story, especially early days, is that I was making a huge difference in the lives of these individual people.

I didn't have an agenda to show testosterone was good. I was working hard just to be okay at what I was supposed to be okay at. I was learning surgical skills, trying to become an expert in all these things, but I had these patients.

And it turned out that these guys who had low levels of testosterone, some of them just low free testosterone, if I treated them, they'd come back and they had the most marvelous stories about how their lives were improved. And when I was, especially early days, what was amazing, I felt like I was seeing, because nobody, none of my colleagues were treating with testosterone.

It's not just that they weren't treating, they thought I was doing dangerous medicine.

I caught a lot of flack. I had some tough situations. But what kept me going was I was seeing something that wasn't being described in the literature or that I had been taught. I was seeing something. It was like these guys saw all the best-known urologists or endocrinologists like in Boston where I was without success. And they'd see me. I said, well, your testosterone's low.
