#389 Low Testosterone, Chronic Pain, Nutrition During Perimenopause and Potential New Microbial Treatments
Q: OK, well, maybe we should start with the basics. What does testosterone do in the body and why is it central to men's health?
Testosterone is a key androgen that drives libido and sexual function, energy, insulin sensitivity, muscle and bone health, and influences dopamine-related mood and motivation; its balance affects overall vitality and mental health.
#390 Supplemental Enzymes for Digestion, Unlocking Career Potential, Closing the Door on Respiratory Viruses and Mindfulness for Anxiety
Q: What defines fulfillment in a career in your view?
Fulfillment comes from aligning your unique capabilities with meaningful contribution, whether in a job or entrepreneurship, so that what you do matters to you and others.
#392 Bringing New Drugs To Market, Baseline Blood Work, Nervous System Reset and Solving Chronic Homelessness
Q: What tests are recommended beyond a CBC to assess inflammation, iron, B12, thyroid function, and metabolic health?
Recommended tests include ferritin for iron stores, B12 levels (especially in vegetarians/vegans or GI issues), a full thyroid panel beyond TSH, fasting glucose and fasting insulin to assess metabolic health, and context-specific tests for GI health and hormones when indicated.
#392 Bringing New Drugs To Market, Baseline Blood Work, Nervous System Reset and Solving Chronic Homelessness
Q: What is a baseline blood work and why is it important?
Baseline testing creates a blueprint of a person's health, allowing clinicians to compare future results to track progression, catch trends early, and guide interventions before conditions worsen.
