Let's see what happens. I mean, I didn't have any guarantees. And they'd come back and they'd say, oh, my God, like my life is better. Let me tell you one story. This guy came to see me. He was a surgeon. He didn't care about it. I don't know whether sex wasn't an issue for him in his life, or he just didn't care about it.

He says the problem is that he's up all night operating, and the next day he has full clinic, a full day of seeing patients. And he says, you know, for the first 15 years of my career, that's not a problem. He says, now I find that I'm falling asleep the next day after being up all night. And I'm just wondering if it could be testosterone.

And I'm just wondering if it could be testosterone.

His testosterone was low and I treated him and he came back and follow up. And I said, how's it going? And he said, well, I don't fall asleep anymore the next day. So he was like happy. I said, well, that sounds great. He says, but it's more than that. He says, since I started with you. He says, I've reorganized my entire division. I've written three papers. I've made two educational videotapes.

Like this guy had gone to town. That's who he was before. He had stopped doing that. What got him is he couldn't stay awake, right? Like that's what brought him to the office. But in fact, this guy was a superstar. He was a dynamo and he'd lost part of his dynamism. And that's what testosterone can do for people who are deficient.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, I'm chuckling. So listen, testosterone is the most interesting chemical.

No, it's true. The amount of stuff that's involved, it's everywhere. We had a talk, we have an annual meeting, it's called the Androgen Society. We had an ophthalmologist come and talk about effects of testosterone on the eye. Turns out that the number one cause of office visits to eye doctors is dry eyes. Guess what testosterone does? It makes lubrication for the eye or helps to enhance it.

So people who have dry eyes often have deficient tear production. Wow. Testosterone's involved with that.

They have. So according to this guy, they use some ointment that has testosterone in it. They use that for the eye. Time me up. Right? My kidneys are going to be super sharp. Yeah, and it happens more in women who have less testosterone than men. I'm not saying that testosterone is the entirety of that story, but it's a contributing factor. Yeah, so testosterone in women.

So I started years ago a men's health center, and so I saw exclusively men.
