Dr. Abid Husain is an established cardiologist in the conventional healthcare system. Over the years, while treating patients in a traditional hospital setting, he realized the limitations of this system firsthand. Because of this, he began seeking a way to provide highly impactful, preventative care. After dedicating years to education in functional medicine and the leading-edge research on the biotechnologies of anti-aging, he has found it. Today, his practice Interlinked MD combines each of these modalities to provide the most comprehensive range of care available.

Dr. Husain leads the discussion in this episode into the misunderstood world of testosterone therapy, debunking myths and exploring its benefits for cardiovascular health. Dr. Husain provides insights on managing testosterone therapy safely, discussing delivery methods and the art of hormonal balance. With the help of pivotal studies, we equip practitioners with the necessary knowledge to optimize patient outcomes. We also explore innovative treatments, including peptides and compounds like tesamorelin and MOTS-c, for enhanced heart health.





Topics discussed in this episode include:

* Why a holistic approach is crucial for chronic disease management, including lifestyle and diet.

* How functional medicine offers new perspectives on heart disease prevention.

* The cardiovascular benefits provided by testosterone therapy.

* How informed consent and patient rapport are vital in testosterone therapy integration.

* What risks are associated with testosterone therapy, such as erythrocytosis, and how to manage them.

* How lifestyle factors influence testosterone and estradiol management in personalized medicine.

* Why peptides like tesamorelin, thymosin beta-4, and MOTS-c are promising for heart health.

* How testosterone therapy benefits both men and women in performance and cellular health.

* Why the TRAVERSE trial has been so useful in validating testosterone therapy's cardiovascular safety.

* How testosterone therapy can promote heart health and aid recovery post-cardiovascular events.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
