In this episode, we dive into the growing conversation around male hormone levels and why testosterone levels today are significantly lower than they were 20 years ago. From lifestyle factors to environmental exposure, we explore what’s driving this shift—and how it’s impacting men’s health.

We break down:

• 📉 Why total testosterone levels have steadily declined over the past two decades

• 🧪 The difference between total testosterone, free testosterone, and estrogen—and why balance matters

• 💉 How exogenous hormones and steroids affect the body’s natural hormone production

• 🔄 The role of aromatization and rising estrogen levels in men

• 🚨 Common symptoms of hormone imbalance, including fatigue, low libido, brain fog, mood changes, poor recovery, and body composition changes

We also discuss why simply “boosting testosterone” isn’t always the solution—and how improper hormone use can further disrupt the endocrine system rather than restore balance.

This episode is designed to help men better understand their labs, recognize symptoms early, and approach hormone health with a more informed and long-term perspective.
