Chapter 1: What are the subtle signs of low testosterone in men?
All right, on this episode of The Dr. Tina Show, this one is for the men. I have a very hunky middle-aged husband and I want to talk to you today. I'm going to do this in 30 minutes or less because I know men, you don't like to sit here and listen to the long-form podcasts.
seven signs that your testosterone may be low, that your doctor doesn't know, that you may be overlooking and ignoring, and none of them have anything to do with low libido or erectile dysfunction. So let's jump in. You are tuned into the Dr. Tina Show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit drtina.com. The other day, I'm out for a jog with my girl dog, and I realized she doesn't limp anymore.
No more morning stiffness or afternoon hobbling around after play.
Chapter 2: How does low testosterone affect muscle loss and body composition?
And that used to be her normal. The only real change I've made is that I switched all my dogs to Sundays for Dogs a few years back. That's it.
Chapter 3: What lifestyle changes can help optimize testosterone naturally?
And it's not just her. My little Havanese, Sundays is all he's ever eaten, and he is jacked, full of energy, perfect poops, and shiny coat. This food is air-dried, real human-grade food created by a vet who got fed up with the junk and so-called premium dog food. It's meats, fruits, veggies, no weird fillers or garbage you can't pronounce. And it's really easy to use.
There's no freezer or prep or slime, unlike raw dog food, which just totally grosses me out. You just scoop it and feed, which is really nice when it comes to having dog sitters or the fact that I travel.

Chapter 6: How does low testosterone impact emotional well-being?
But several years ago, I started digging into ingredient labels and testing standards, and what I found was honestly disgusting. More than two-thirds of protein powders tested by Consumer Reports had lead levels above California Prop 65 safety limits. Some were over 10 times higher. That was my wake-up call. That's when I found Puree, short for Pure Origin, and they truly live up to their name.
Every batch of Puree grass-fed whey is third-party tested for over 200 contaminants, and they're the only brand that publishes every result online. You can scan the QR code right on the bag and see your exact batches report. That level of transparency is rare, and that's why I trust them. You're getting 21 grams of clean whey protein from grass-fed cows.

All right, so first up, I'm gonna admit fully, my favorite group of patients to treat are men, middle-aged men. I love treating middle-aged men. I have great success treating middle-aged men.
Chapter 8: What are the long-term implications of untreated low testosterone?
Dudes are easy. Dudes are compliant. There's not a lot of emotion involved. Their hormones are much simpler. It's just all around, I'm a tomboy. So most of my friends growing up were guys and I get along well with the dudes. And for some reason, the way that I deliver the information tends to resonate. So this one is for the men.
I know I talk a lot to middle-aged ladies, but truly my goal on this planet is to help save all of Gen X because I think we're all, we just got dealt a bad set of cards, right? For lots of reasons I won't go into. But I'm excited to talk about this today because I have a very hunky middle-aged husband who is on TRT, which is, it stands for testosterone replacement therapy.
He has been for some years. And I want to quickly run through seven signs and symptoms that you may be low, that you are overlooking. And ladies, if you're listening, please take notes and share this with your husband. And if they don't believe you, then go ahead and see if they'll listen to this episode. So again, I'm going to set my timer.
I want to make sure that I bust this out in 30 minutes or less so I don't waste anyone's time. The last symptom and one we will not be discussing is erectile dysfunction. And I'll tell you how this normally goes in my practice. So my practice for the bulk of my career was regenerative injection therapies.
Visits would often, I think I probably treated 50-50 women and men, but visits with men would often be similar in that it was usually their shoulder or their knee. And when I would go to pull their pant leg up, I would notice right off the bat that they were missing hair on their shins. Now, this is something I noticed myself. I was never taught this.
This was never something that came up in my training. I just started noticing lacking anterior shin hair on men. Maybe it was happening to women, but women tend to shave their legs. So I wouldn't notice it as much.
Now, I will tell you in my own experience, now that it's many years later, and I did actually, which is probably TMI, but I did let my leg hair grow out in the midst of all of this moving. I was just so stressed and I was constantly in pants anyway. So I was like, whatever. And I did notice that I also was missing some shin hair. And I also have low testosterone at this age. So it's both genders.
But men would have low shin hair or missing shin hair or big balding spots on their anterior shin, on their tibia bone. And I would say, how's your testosterone? And I would always ask that because I wanted to let them present the information. I wanted to make it their idea. I'll tell you a secret, ladies and men, don't take any offense to this. If we let it be your idea, it's always much easier.
So I would ask them the question and some guys would say, you know, I'm just not recovering well in the gym or, you know, my injuries aren't healing or, you know, my mood's been a little low. But most often than not, guys would get defensive and say, oh, I'm fine down there. And if I ask them straight out, like, hey, can we talk about the potential of low testosterone?
