I mean, I have so many patients who started using testosterone in their late teens, early 20s. Goodness. Yeah. I mean, not goodness, meaning badness. That does not seem like a good idea. And it's still very common. Goodness gracious. Still very common. And, you know, one in particular, this is probably 10 years ago, came to see me. He's 25. He got married.

And to your point, he said, I'm ready to have kids. I have zero sperm left, right? And that's a real thing. And so he had been using, and I would say abusing, both testosterone and growth hormone for years. Now what he told me was, and I get it, he was Superman. He could wake up, do a hard workout,

know crush it wake up the next morning was not sore crush it again and just kept going kept going it was super fit super happy in that regard and how he looked how he felt how he performed but then he got to a point where he's a little bit wiser mature and he was like oh my goodness now there's a repercussion for this and i've seen that time and time again and the repercussion is big you're not making any sperm and the sperm quality is super poor

now what do you do? Well, now you got to come off the testosterone. You got to rebuild your system, which we can do. You know, we can use things like clomiphene and clomiphene HCG, lots of different agents to help in that regard, even certain peptides. But I think it brings up the large point, even getting into peptides, which is having a physician who's knowledgeable to me is super helpful.

The challenge for people is they don't know where to get the right information, right? And they're getting it from websites and they're getting it from people saying, oh, just try this peptide. And I've had lots of people talking about the, you know, websites or whatever, not to name any names who've had anaphylactic reactions to research type peptides, which are not for human consumption.

And I'm not saying that there's bad companies or whatever. You just got to be careful. You got to be selective at least.

Yes. Yeah. And so to tell the story further is back in October of 2023, the FDA put many peptides, BPC, and we can name them out on what's called a category two list, meaning they are no longer allowed to be compounded. Right. And that excludes then research companies who are not under the purview of the FDA.
