So that single test can give you an insight into your cardiovascular health, your inflammation in your body, your glucose or your, you know,

metabolism there.

The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

So again, a single test that's most important.

The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

But to your question on the panel, there were three main takeaways.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

One was screening.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

So we should be screening every man for their testosterone levels for this, again, this biomarker insight that I'm mentioning.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

Could it be for everyone over 40?

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

That's an easy number to pick, but it could be even earlier.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

So you have a baseline.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

Say you're 30 years old and everything's feeling great.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

But at least you know, when I was 30, my testosterone level was maybe 750 nanovariants per deciliter.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

So when I'm later in life too, not that you're treating to that number, but you understand your progression, right?

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

Because we're all on slightly different paths there.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

And what might have been good for me might not have been your exact number.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

There's a wide range there.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

so testing is one.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

The second is broader labels because the label right now, as you look at the, the, that's called the package insert on a product, like a product like our, say Kaiser tracks, um,

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

you know, it's indicated for a very narrow patient population.

Founder's Story
The Testosterone Myth That’s Costing Men Years of Their Lives | Ep 299 with Shalin Shah CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals

And in fact, most of the men that are testosterone deficient fit a broader definition.

And it really doesn't matter.
