Episode Description

Everyone thinks testosterone is bad for your heart, but with 10,000 receptors for it in the heart alone, I'd argue low testosterone is the real cardiovascular risk. In this solo Q&A, I answer the 11 questions you ask me most, from TRT and vitamin D to folate and my morning breathwork. It all comes back to one thing: you're not broken, you're deficient, and that's fixable.
