Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, affects men by reducing sex drive, muscle mass, and energy, with symptoms including fatigue, mood changes, and decreased libido. Diagnosis involves blood tests, and lifestyle changes like exercise and healthy eating are recommended, while testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be considered for some, especially older men, but is controversial for younger men. Caution is advised against online trends and unproven remedies.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is gaining attention as a potential treatment for age-related testosterone decline in men, often called 'Manopause.' While levels naturally decrease with age and environmental factors may contribute, TRT can improve energy, libido, and overall quality of life for men with clinically low testosterone, but it should be used under medical supervision due to potential risks and side effects.
Three journalists, including Sami Shehadeh from TRT, were injured in an Israeli attack at the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, with Shehadeh having his foot amputated. Gaza's media office and Reporters Without Borders condemned the attack, stating that journalists are being deliberately targeted by Israeli forces. Turkish President Erdogan and Palestinian President Abbas discussed the attack, with Turkey vowing to stand firm against Israel's actions. Over 70 people have been injured in the Israeli attacks on Nuseirat camp, and more than 33,600 people have been killed since the war began on October 7.
Seven journalists, including a TRT cameraman who lost a leg, were wounded in an Israeli strike on a Gaza refugee camp. The cameraman claimed the targeting of civilians and journalists was deliberate, as they were clearly marked as press and in a safe location. Footage showed men, women, and children running for cover at the sound of artillery fire. This incident follows an Israeli strike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza.
Dr. Kyle Gillett joins the podcast to discuss the importance of balancing testosterone with other hormones for optimal male health.
