Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy is one of the most misunderstood areas in men's health today. That's why I sat down with Dr. Eric Serrano, one of the leading voices in human evolution and longevity, to unpack the truth about TRT, when it's necessary, how it should be approached, and what too many people get wrong. Dr. Serrano and I discuss why proper testing, individualized protocols, and lifestyle foundations such as nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management must come first before any therapy begins. This conversation is about looking beyond quick fixes and understanding what it truly means to optimize health from the inside out. Key Takeaways: Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) must be assessed holistically, considering lifestyle factors, hormonal balance, and personalized needs. Regular exercise, faith, and community engagement play crucial roles in achieving longevity and enhancing life quality. Different forms of testosterone administration (injections, creams, orals) should be personalized based on individual health goals and biological responses. Dr. Serrano highlights the effectiveness of strategic cycling in hormone therapies to maintain optimal results and avoid dependency. The importance of personalized healthcare plans is paramount, as everyone's biochemical makeup and health goals are unique.     More About Dr. Eric Serrano:   Dr. Eric Serrano is a world-renowned family physician and performance expert with over 30 years of clinical experience.
