That's diet, sleep, stress, exercise.

But the next layer on top of that is your hormonal health.

And testosterone is a key hormone.

there's actually an androgen receptor on nearly every organ in the body, right?

So whether that's your brain, your heart, bone, muscle, all of these processes involve testosterone.

So now that this is becoming better known, people are talking about it, people are asking their doctors about it, or they're also going their own route to get testing because historically it has been challenging.

The molecule...

Testosterone has really been stigmatized.

If you go back, you know, you mentioned about to turn 42, right?

You remember the days of baseball and steroids, right?

Testosterone got really mixed up in all that and also in the Olympics in 88, right?

Ben Johnson, Canadian sprinter, was found positive with testosterone, among other things, and they threw the baby out with the bathwater and banned it from a controlled substance perspective back in 1990.

So again, a lot of stigma around this topic for many, many years, a lot of myths and misconceptions.

that are being corrected, which is a good thing.

I think we're moving in the right direction.

But medical sort of science takes a long time to correct.

But nonetheless, people are interested in their health, and they're figuring out how important this is, not just about sexual health, not just about muscle building, but their overall metabolic health.

And that's why this is front and center today.

So two are around its safety.

So people think testosterone causes heart attacks.
