In this clip from EP 309, I am joined by Adam Hotchkiss, a men's health and hormone optimisation expert. We cover here the following:

• Total vs. free testosterone and SHBG's regulatory role
• Prioritising symptoms over numbers when assessing TRT need
• Optimal free-to-total testosterone ratio for health
• Estrogen's potential role in TRT benefits

Generational testosterone decline is also discussed, with possible links to environmental factors, obesity, inflammation, and modern lifestyles. Current "healthy" reference ranges may be misleadingly low.

Explore the nuances of testosterone health with two knowledgeable perspectives. Consider new research on hormonal optimisation and men's wellness.
