And a group of physicians and the public sort of figured out that maybe there's a way to feel better. And they really created the first movement around desire to normalize testosterone levels for quality of life. And they were right. They were right.

And today we know from studies and also just from seeing patients that, you know, what I say to people is that having low levels of testosterone is a reduced state of the human condition. You know, there's a lot of stories that are very colorful of men doing what we were always characterized as foolish things in the past, looking for the fountain of youth. Yeah. Oh, those men are so foolish. Yeah.

There was a guy in the 1800s who was tying off the vas deferens on one side because he thought it would help rejuvenate men by blocking the outflow of sperm, right? They knew that testicles made sperm. And you could think of it as chi or energy or whatever. And so he kept it within. And one of the people who had that procedure done was Sigmund Freud. Another was the famous poet W.B. Yeats.

And people say, how could such intelligent, educated people be fooled in this way? And we ridicule, we mock men for this. But in fact, what I see is that these were people who knew what it was like to be not successful, but sort of to be at the top of their game. They had an A game. And How important, and clearly they weren't feeling that anymore.

And how diminished they must have felt in order to actually try something as dubious as what was being offered. It reflected on how important it was for them. Not that they were stupid or foolish or just looking to be sexual, but there was something that was different to them. And we know that about having low levels, especially very low levels of testosterone. The effects can be profound.

So as the years went on, I took on what I thought of as riskier and riskier situations. And when you asked if I was nervous, I was always nervous when I did something like that. So first was the guys with PIN, where we thought they had pre-cancers. Then it was guys after radical prostatectomy who appeared cured.

Then it was guys with radical prostatectomies where they had higher great Gleason scores, higher risk, radiation therapy. Then guys on active surveillance. Now, I wasn't, these guys would seek me out. I wasn't saying to anybody, listen, you really should be on testosterone. No, no, no, no. They came to me, they said, will you give me testosterone?
