It would be with your standard blood panel.

And I would just make sure that that happens.

If you don't have a good primary care that you can go to, there is, you can either do some of this testing through online vendors, right?

You can set up an appointment at LabCorp Request and do this, or there are even at-home tests available today.

So you can do an at-home test and get an indication of what direction, you know, where you are on this scale.

And again, it doesn't warrant further investigations.

So that was a landmark panel, an FDA expert panel on testosterone replacement therapy.

I believe there were 13 experts on the panel, all with extremely decorated CVs, decades of research in this space.

But the message was very clear.

Again, this is a vital metabolic hormone.

that we should be paying attention to.

It plays a crucial role in overall men's health and female health.

I will say that too.

I don't want to discount that side.

It's an important female hormone too.

But we have a men's health crisis in this country.

Men on average live seven years shorter

Their lifespan is seven years shorter than a female.

So, you know, there's multiple reasons for that.

But testosterone is the single best biomarker of your overall health because, again, like I mentioned, it influences all these parts of the body.
