Private menopause specialists very often prescribe it, but it's expensive.

And if it's something that you need for health symptoms, you know, your own doctor really should be able to prescribe it.

It's partly why we pay our taxes, to have access to healthcare service providers, not be locked out by gatekeepers of our long-term good health.

podcast-host

podcast-host
When men in midlife go through low testosterone levels when theirs begins to get depleted, those are two of the symptoms that that they get.
