High hopes crushed LOL!
That more T is better myth that needs to be put to rest!
Those truly in the know would tell you that the majority of symptoms will be improved once you achieve a healthy FT which for most would be aiming for a healthy/high-end trough FT as in the upper 1/3rd!
Listen closely 44:45-47:12
* What “T-maxing” gets wrong, and the saturation model that explains why more is not better
23:20 TikTok, T-maxing, and where to start
29:08 The saturation model explained
35:19 Testosterone and erections
42:30 Myth Busters begin
46:36 Is more always better?
Is testosterone therapy safe? For six decades, medicine said no. Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, Harvard Medical School faculty member and author of Testosterone for Life, explains why that fear holds up far less well than most people were taught.
Dr. Paul Turek and Rob Clyde sit down with Abe, a colleague of 30 years, to separate what is clinically true from what is trending. If social media has told you that your fatigue, your gym results, or your drive point to low testosterone, this conversation is for you.
