Episode 170 - Dr. Dwayne Jackson: Do We Truly Need to Replace Testosterone?

In Episode 170, we have a frank discussion with Dr. Dwayne Jackson about the ins-and-outs of testosterone deficiencies and the need for individuals to seek out supplemental testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).  It is more and more common to hear about males seeking out TRT for lifestyle and aesthetic reasons.  However, do they truly need to replace testosterone from a clinical standpoint, or are they compensating for poor lifestyle choices, bad or non-existent exercise habits or simply not exhausting conventional methods of managing their testosterone and general health?  Dr. Jackson provides an overview of all of the possible causes of low testosterone, as well as possible reasons for these deficiencies.  For those that are willing to examine their lifestyle choices and make changes, improvements in testosterone levels can be achieved.  But, in some cases, testosterone therapy may be a reasonable option when all of the conventional options have been exhausted.
