that is usually a sign of testosterone being off and needing it to be addressed.

You have to be careful there because there's an enzyme in our belly fat called aromatase and it likes to turn testosterone into estrogen.

So if you start applying testosterone replacement therapy to an individual with a lot of truncal obesity, you run the risk of having a lot of aromatase activity and therefore ending up with a lot of estrogen in the system.

And so I would make my male patients sign a contract that they were going to lift weights,

back way up on the alcohol, particularly IPA beer.

Beers in general are estrogen tinctures, but IPA is certainly an estrogen tincture.

And just be willing to work with me on all the lifestyle pieces because without the lifestyle pieces, I think it's really irresponsible to apply TRT to a male or a woman for that matter.

I think it's irresponsible to apply hormones to somebody who's not doing all the things.

And when I say all the things, I have a whole book about this.

By the way, I wrote a book, you guys.

I don't promote it.

It's called Pain Free and Strong.

I wrote it prior to COVID.

It's kind of the get through COVID manual, actually.

You can find it at drtina.com forward slash book.

It's free.

Go ahead and download it.

It's a quick and easy read.

It will tell you what all the things means when I throw that term around.

I will say a cheat code for optimizing your testosterone naturally is to get hot.
