Fatigued? Libido fading? Muscle wasting away? You’re the perfect candidate for testosterone therapy, at least according to those seductive TV commercials. There’s certainly an ample market, with more than 1 in 3 men older than 45 suffering from a deficiency in the hormone responsible for masculine characteristics. But is low T therapy really a fountain of youth? Who really benefits from it? And is it safe? In this episode, we talk to a urologist about what’s often called the male menopause and when replacement therapy is the appropriate response.

Expert: Dr. Nathan Starke, Urologist
Interviewer: Todd Ackerman
Notable topics covered:

  • Does too much testosterone really cause “roid rage?”
  • Is declining testosterone inevitable? What are normal levels?
  • Natural ways to boost your testosterone
  • The symptoms that warrant going in for a blood test
  • Why testosterone use tripled in the century’s first decade
  • Types of prescription testosterone: injections, gels, patches and, now, pills
  • Have concerns about heart side effects been debunked?
  • The connection between testosterone and prostate cancer
  • Testosterone’s little-known precipitous drop: impending fatherhood
  • The causes of low testosterone
  • The difference between testosterone therapy and performance-enhancing steroids
