Join host Krystal Khali on this insightful episode of the Krystal Khali Podcast as we approach a critical health issue affecting men today: the significant decline in testosterone levels since WWII. Titled "He's Not the Man His Father Was," this episode explores the scientific evidence behind this worrying trend and examines the various factors contributing to the decline, such as processed foods, environmental toxins, and lifestyle changes.
We discuss the implications of low testosterone on men's health, including its impact on sperm count and mental health. Tune in to learn about the research, potential solutions, and how understanding this issue can lead to positive change for men and women everywhere.
