TRT: Do You Need It… or Could You Benefit?

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 20:30:00 +0000

Dave breaks down the difference between needing TRT and benefiting from it, framing TRT as an intentional long-term intervention—not just “sick care.” He explains why “normal range” can be misleading, why symptoms + lifestyle matter as much as labs, and how to think through risk, responsibility, and whether the juice is worth the squeeze.

What’s New in Longevity: What’s Real vs. What’s Hype

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:40:00 +0000

A4M just gave us a front-row seat to what’s next in longevity care—here’s what we’re actually bringing back to Victory (and what we’re leaving behind).

In this episode, Amy Stuttle is joined by Anna Griffith, DNP at Victory Men’s Health to recap the biggest takeaways from A4M in Las Vegas—the largest academic conference in the U.S. for functional and longevity medicine. They break down what stood out, what felt “bright and shiny” but didn’t hold up under scrutiny, and what Victory is actually bringing back to patients.

You’ll hear practical insights on protein quality vs. just “eating more protein,” why amino acids (and leucine thresholds) matter—especially for those fasting or using GLP-1s—and the supplements they’re most excited to add, including Perfect Aminos and Urolithin A. Amy and Anna also discuss one of the most talked-about topics at the conference: TB-006 and Galectin-3 as an emerging area of research for neurodegenerative disease symptom support, plus the complementary role of modified citrus pectin.

They wrap with an update on the exploding peptide conversation—what’s real, what’s marketing, and why clinical oversight matters—and a look at new longevity tools Victory is adding at the new location, including VO2 max testing as part of a more complete longevity strategy.

If you’ve been wondering what’s next in longevity medicine—and what’s worth your time versus hype—this episode gives you the real-world, clinician-level breakdown.

The Moment a “Niche” Became a $250M Brand

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 18:45:00 +0000

She turned “fangirl” into a business category—not even Disney saw it coming.

Recorded live at Tony La Russa’s Leaders and Legends in Scottsdale, Arizona, Amy Stuttle interviews Ashley Eckstein—founder of Her Universe and the original voice of Ahsoka Tano in the Star Wars animated universe.

In this conversation, Ashley walks through how she got the vision for Her Universe, how she built it into a movement that unlocked a massive, underserved market, and the business lessons behind scaling a brand that she says has driven over $250M in retail sales—before later selling Her Universe to Hot Topic.

What it took to keep betting on herself when the industry didn’t take the market seriously
How she’s sustained a long-term career inside an iconic franchise while building a company in parallel
Why a supportive, high-performing partnership matters—plus lessons from building life with her husband, former MLB player David Eckstein

TRT Isn’t a Shortcut—It’s a Medical Fix for a Real Problem

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

As 2025 wraps, Dave Lee steps back to zoom out on the testosterone conversation—and why it matters more than ever.

TRT has gone from “what is that?” to mainstream in just a few years. That growth is a win. More men are finally getting help. But Dave breaks down the downside of the hockey-stick boom: misinformation, influencer hot takes, and a stigma that’s still keeping younger men from investigating legitimate hormone issues.

In this episode, Dave explains why “just sleep more and lift” isn’t the full answer for a growing group of men under 30—and under 40—who are doing everything right and still testing like they’re decades older. He unpacks endocrine disruption, the modern “estrogen soup,” and why biology and mental health can’t be separated when we talk about men struggling.

Most importantly, Dave frames TRT the way it should be framed: not as a crutch or a shortcut, but as a foundational medical intervention that can change a man’s trajectory—physically, mentally, and long-term.

If you care about men’s health, performance, longevity, and getting the conversation right in 2026, this one is a must-listen.
In this episode:

How TRT went mainstream—and what that means for men now

Why younger men are getting crushed hormonally (even with “perfect” habits)

The link between androgen deficiency and men’s mental health

TRT as foundation: disease prevention, brain chemistry, and life trajectory

The two things the industry needs next: better competency + less stigma

Is Testosterone About to Be De-Scheduled? What the FDA Panel Could Mean for TRT

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 17:25:00 +0000

Testosterone is the only natural hormone treated like a street drug—and the FDA just signaled that could change.

In this episode, Amy Stuttle sits down with Rick Collins, Esq. (“Legal Muscle”)—one of the most well-known attorneys in the hormone, supplement, and peptide space—to break down the recent FDA expert panel on testosterone in men and what it could mean for patients, prescribers, and the industry.

You’ll hear them unpack:

Why experts are pushing to de-schedule testosterone (currently Schedule III)
The argument that low T is a health crisis, not “vanity”
Why the panelists want the prostate cancer warning stripped and the outdated narrative retired
The ongoing shift on cardiovascular risk, including the FDA’s removal of the black box warning and discussion of the TRAVERSE trial
The reality that most prescribing is effectively off-label under today’s criteria—and why that may change
A candid breakdown of the “research use only” peptide crackdown, why over-regulation fuels black markets, and where legitimate medical oversight fits in

If Your Hormone Clinic Does This… Run (TRT Red Flags You Can’t Ignore)

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Most TRT clinics don’t have a testosterone problem—they have a standards problem.

In this solo episode, Dave Lee recaps a month of travel and teaching (Melbourne’s Trinitas Trade Expo and the Silverback Summit in Orlando) and shares what still shocks him every time he steps outside his “echo chamber”: the abysmally low standard of care that has become normal in men’s health—globally.

Dave breaks down the biggest TRT red flags he’s seeing in December 2025, including:

The “Burger, Fries, and Coke” protocol: a cookie-cutter combo of testosterone + AI + hCG sold by default because it’s profitable—not because it’s indicated
Clinics using fear-based selling (“You’ll get infertile,” “You’ll grow boobs”) to upsell ancillaries before you even know what you need
Minimal lab work that only checks if you “qualify,” not what’s actually driving symptoms (and why comprehensive assessment matters)
The newer trend: clinics that push peptides on everyone—often as trendy add-ons rather than targeted tools tied to a real need
Why prophylactic aromatase inhibitor use is one of the clearest warning signs of poor care
The red flag that shows up later: no real follow-up, support, or education—leaving you to crowdsource your health online

This episode is a practical checklist for anyone considering TRT (or already on it) who wants to identify clinics that prioritize outcomes over upsells—and find care that’s individualized, evidence-informed, and actually supportive.

Trust the Process, Not Reddit: How Overthinking Ruins a Good TRT Protocol

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 22:30:00 +0000

In this solo episode, Dave Lee tackles one of the trickiest parts of hormone optimization that doesn’t show up on lab work: your mind. He breaks down the placebo and nocebo effects, what “psychosomatic” actually means, and why your symptoms are real even when they’re driven by the brain—not just the bloodwork.

Dave explains how anxiety, over-monitoring every sensation, and trying to micromanage your TRT protocol from Reddit can completely derail your results, even when you’re working with a great provider. He lays out what it looks like to be a compliant, self-aware patient, why you must outsource protocol design to a competent clinician, and how to regulate your reactions so you don’t turn a good treatment plan into a car crash. This is a must-listen for both patients and providers navigating the messy intersection of biology, psychology, and hormone replacement therapy.

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 13:11:00 +0000

Amy Stuttle talks with Scott Brunner, CEO of the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding, to cut through the noise on compounded medications. They unpack why compounding surged with GLP-1 shortages, the real difference between compounded and counterfeit, and how regulation works (FDA oversight vs. FDA approval, USP standards, batch testing).

A No-BS Beginner’s Guide to TRT with Dave Lee

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 15:15:00 +0000

Testosterone Replacement Therapy can feel confusing—especially with conflicting advice online. In this beginner-friendly episode, Dave Lee explains what TRT is, when it’s truly needed, and why it’s a lifelong medical therapy. He covers the core decision point (optimize lifestyle first vs. start TRT), what “good” protocols look like (stable levels via frequent low-dose injections or 20% trans-scrotal cream), and the red flags to avoid (infrequent injections, cookie-cutter add-ons like routine HCG and aromatase inhibitors, pellets/patches/gels with poor efficacy). Dave lays out the habits that make TRT work—sleep, protein-forward nutrition, steps, cardio, and resistance training—and clears up the biggest myth around fertility, including how it can usually be restored while staying on treatment. If you’re considering TRT or just had low T labs, this is your practical roadmap—and why working with a true expert matters.

Infertility Isn’t a Waiting Game: Optimize First with Gabriela Rosa

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 19:00:00 +0000

Fertility specialist and Harvard Award scholar Gabriela Rosa joins Amy Stuttle to cut through confusion about infertility—what it is, when to seek help, and why “optimize first” beats “wait and see.” Gabriela explains how the healthcare system’s 12-month definition can delay care, why fertility is a team sport (male and female factors contribute about 50/50), and how sperm quality changes every 3–4 months. She outlines her diagnostics-first method, shares program results (78.8% live birth rate in a cohort with an average of four years of infertility), and breaks down common pitfalls—from incomplete semen testing to overlooked infections and lifestyle drivers.

You’ll hear practical guidance on timelines, AMH and egg reserve, miscarriage workups, what to do before IVF, and how to fast-track next steps if you’re starting later in life. Gabriela also addresses hot-button topics like long-term birth control and Tylenol use in pregnancy with an evidence-level lens.

No PSA Since 2014? Biden’s Cancer Case Raises Big Questions with Dr. Yablonsky

Wed, 28 May 2025 15:00:00 +0000

When the President supposedly skips a decade of PSA tests, it’s not just a health issue—it’s a national conversation.

Amy Stuttle is joined by Dr. David Yablonsky to discuss President Joe Biden’s stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis and the broader implications it has for men’s health awareness, leadership transparency, and public trust. They explore the timeline of the diagnosis and what a Gleason 9, Grade Group 5 really means, while questioning how the most powerful man in the world went a decade without a PSA screening.

This episode asks the hard questions: Why would the President’s medical team follow outdated screening guidelines? What message does this send to the millions of men who rely on early detection to save their lives? And does this raise deeper concerns about medical negligence, malpractice, or even political cover-up?

Amy and Dr. Yablonsky go beyond the headlines to unpack what every man should understand about prostate cancer, the importance of personalized medical care, and why honest, proactive healthcare should be non-negotiable for those leading our country.

Blocking Estrogen on TRT? Here’s Why It’s Ruining Your Results with Dave Lee

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:18:00 +0000

Dave Lee discusses the contentious topic of estrogen in men's TRT. He highlights the polarized views surrounding estrogen testing and aromatase inhibition, emphasizing the confusion it creates for patients and leads many men to chase an unrealistic “Goldilocks zone” of estrogen inhibition.

Key Takeaways:

Blocking estrogen is unnecessary and harmful. Many of the benefits of testosterone come from its natural conversion into estrogen and DHT. Inhibiting this process can lead to negative side effects.
The real problem isn’t estrogen—it’s inflammation and poor metabolic health. If men experience “estrogenic side effects,” it’s usually due to improper dosing or metabolic dysfunction, not an inherent issue with estrogen itself.
Testosterone dosing should prioritize stability. Weekly or biweekly injections create hormone fluctuations that cause side effects. Dave advocates for more frequent injections (at least three times per week) or using trans-scrotal testosterone cream, which provides a more stable and effective delivery method.
Excess body fat contributes to unwanted estrogenic effects. Men with higher body fat percentages will naturally convert more testosterone into estrogen. The solution isn’t blocking estrogen but losing fat through proper nutrition and exercise while optimizing TRT dosing.
Victory Men’s Health provides comprehensive hormone care. Clinics like Victory look beyond testosterone alone, addressing thyroid health, DHEA, pregnenolone, and insulin sensitivity for a more holistic approach to hormone optimization.

Dave emphasizes that TRT should be customized based on an individual’s health, lifestyle, and response to treatment. If you're struggling with side effects, the answer isn’t to suppress estrogen but to refine your protocol and address underlying health factors.

TRT Timeline: How Long Until You See Results? with Dave Lee

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 18:55:00 +0000

How long does it really take for TRT to transform your health and life? Dave Lee answers one of the most frequently asked questions about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): "How long does TRT take to work?" He emphasizes that the answer is multifaceted and deeply tied to individual expectations and efforts.

Dave begins by challenging listeners to define what "TRT working" means. Expectations can vary, from improved libido and muscle growth to simply feeling "the way a man is supposed to feel." He stresses that TRT is not an overnight fix but rather a process that takes time, much like puberty, which spans years. The foundational benefits of TRT stem from prolonged exposure to stable androgen levels and require patience.

Dave highlights that lifestyle habits play a significant role in how quickly and effectively TRT works. When men have been in a hypogonadal state for a long time, they often develop unhealthy habits as coping mechanisms. TRT offers the biological foundation to improve, but achieving long-term benefits requires consistent effort in areas like diet, exercise, and mental health.

He outlines a general timeline for TRT:

First 12-16 Weeks:

Often includes a "honeymoon phase" where men might feel great or overstimulated.
After this phase, improvements may plateau, leading some to wrongly assume they need a higher dose. Realistically, a 10-20% improvement at this stage is a success.
Six Months:

Initial improvements in overall well-being and some sexual benefits may begin, though these are often delayed as the body prioritizes healing other systems first.
Issues like metabolic health, thyroid function, or lifestyle factors can influence progress.
One to Two Years:

The majority of TRT benefits become apparent during this time, provided the individual is committed to healthy habits and consistency.
Improvements in mindset, physical health, and overall life trajectory continue to compound.
Beyond Two Years:

The remaining benefits gradually manifest, but progress depends on how well the individual maintains their health and lifestyle.
Dave underscores the importance of realistic expectations and compliance with treatment. He advises against chasing "quick fixes" found on social media or from unreliable sources. The key to success with TRT lies in combining the therapy with disciplined self-care, patience, and a long-term perspective.

TRT 101: What It's REALLY Like To Be On Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 15:45:00 +0000

The frequently asked questions about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). They cover topics such as the benefits of TRT, determining if TRT is right for you, the appropriate dosage of testosterone, the impact of TRT on fertility, the risk of gynecomastia, the need for additional medications while on TRT, the long-term use of TRT, the administration of TRT through injections or creams, and the potential side effects of TRT.

Takeaways

TRT offers benefits beyond just sex drive and muscle gain, including improved mental health, bone mineral density, and cardiovascular health.
The decision to start TRT should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider, taking into account individual symptoms and overall health.
The appropriate dosage of testosterone should be determined by a healthcare provider and may need to be adjusted over time based on individual response.
TRT is not birth control.
Gynecomastia is not caused by testosterone, but individuals with pre-existing gynecomastia may experience a flare-up when starting TRT.
It is important to avoid unnecessary medications some clinics use to “mitigate side effects” and focus on dosing, frequency, overall health and lifestyle improvements.
TRT is typically a long-term treatment and should not be thought of as a trial.
The ideal way to administer TRT can be done through injections or creams, and the choice depends on compliance, individual preference and response.
Patience and consistency are key when starting TRT, as it may take time for the body to adjust and for optimal results to be achieved.

How We Test Cardiovascular Risk with Cardiologist Dr. Michael Twyman

Sat, 15 Jun 2024 13:37:00 +0000

Every 40 seconds, someone has a heart attack. Heart attacks are the leading cause of death worldwide, with 18 million people dying each year from cardiovascular disease.

In this episode, we dive deep into the limitations of the standard lipid panel and explore why most doctors rely on it for prescribing statins. We discuss the importance of measuring the particles that transport cholesterol, such as Apo-B and LP(a), rather than just cholesterol levels. Additionally, we examine the impact of disruptors like mouthwash and antacid medication on nitric oxide production and arterial health.

We also highlight the cardiovascular testing Victory offers for their patients, including Advanced Lipid Panels, MaxPulse, SphygmoCor, and Carotid Artery Scans. Tune in to learn more about how these advanced tests can provide a more comprehensive understanding of your cardiovascular health.

Takeaways

The standard lipid panel has limitations and may not provide a comprehensive analysis of cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk.
Measuring the particles that transport cholesterol, such as Apo-B and LP(a), is important for predicting cardiovascular risk.
The Boston Heart Lab panel offers a more advanced analysis of lipoproteins, oxidative stress, inflammation, and nitric oxide production.
Lifestyle changes, including dietary modifications and nitric oxide support, can be effective alternatives to statins.
The HeartSmart ultrasound scan provides information about arterial age and plaque buildup, helping to assess cardiovascular risk.
The Max Pulse test measures arterial elasticity and can indicate the presence of arterial stiffness and dysfunction.
Central aortic blood pressure measurement is important for evaluating cardiovascular health and guiding treatment decisions.
Disruptors like mouthwash and antacid medication can negatively impact nitric oxide production and arterial health.
The future of cardiovascular imaging holds promise for more precise assessment of plaque and improved treatment strategies.
Reversing plaque buildup is possible through lifestyle changes, nitric oxide promotion, and lipid-lowering therapies.

Nitric Oxide Supplements | A Daily Habit With BIG Results with Dr. Nathan Bryan

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 18:01:00 +0000

Dr. Nathan Bryan discusses the importance of nitric oxide for overall health and the impact of certain products on nitric oxide production. He explains that nitric oxide is a gas naturally produced in the body that dilates blood vessels, improves oxygen uptake, lowers inflammation, and regulates blood flow. However, products like mouthwash, fluoride, and antacids can disrupt nitric oxide production. Dr. Bryan emphasizes the need for education and awareness among dentists and healthcare practitioners to prevent the negative effects of these products. Additionally, he explains the connection between nitric oxide and erectile dysfunction, and how his product can improve nitric oxide production and enhance the effectiveness of phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Nitric oxide plays a crucial role in maintaining blood flow and preventing the onset and progression of various diseases. Daily intake of nitric oxide supplements can have cytoprotective effects and reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and Alzheimer's disease. While the effects of nitric oxide supplements may not be immediately felt, they can be observed through ultrasound imaging of blood vessels. Nitric oxide is also important for cardiovascular health, as it dilates blood vessels, stabilizes plaque, and prevents vascular inflammation.

Takeaways:

Nitric oxide is a gas produced in the body that plays a crucial role in overall health, including blood vessel dilation, oxygen uptake, inflammation reduction, and regulation of blood flow.
Certain products like mouthwash, fluoride, and antacids can disrupt nitric oxide production, leading to negative health effects.
Education and awareness among dentists and healthcare practitioners are essential to prevent the negative impact of these products on nitric oxide production.
Many nitric oxide supplements on the market, such as those containing l-arginine or beet products, are ineffective because they do not address the underlying issue of nitric oxide deficiency.
Dr. Nathan Bryan's N101 lozenges are a highly effective nitric oxide supplement that directly generate nitric oxide and contain essential cofactors like magnesium and vitamin C.
Nitric oxide deficiency is a common cause of erectile dysfunction, and Dr. Bryan's product can improve nitric oxide production and enhance the effectiveness of phosphodiesterase inhibitors used to treat the condition.
Daily intake of nitric oxide supplements can reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and Alzheimer's disease.
Nitric oxide supplements may not produce immediate effects, but their benefits can be observed through ultrasound imaging of blood vessels.
Nitric oxide plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health by dilating blood vessels, stabilizing plaque, and preventing vascular inflammation.

Solutions For Erectile Dysfunction

In this episode, Cassidy Graham, NP discusses the evaluation and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Cassidy explains how she uses a SHIM score to evaluate ED. The SHIM score (Sexual Health Inventory for Men), is a questionnaire used to assess ED. SHIM is a validated tool developed by researchers to help clinicians evaluate the severity of ED in men. It consists of five questions related to the frequency and quality of erections, with scores ranging from 1 to 25. A higher score indicates better erectile function, while lower scores suggest more severe ED. The SHIM score helps the Victory Men’s Health providers gauge the extent of the problem and guide appropriate treatment options for patients experiencing ED.

Cassidy also examples the most common lifestyle factors that contribute to ED, the important role of nitric oxide in ED and the use of nitric oxide supplements, treatment options for mild, moderate, and severe ED, the use of penis pumps, and the importance of post-op care for prostatectomy patients.

Takeaways

The SHIM score and questionnaire are useful tools for evaluating ED.
Lifestyle factors such as smoking, diabetes, and obesity can contribute to ED.
Nitric oxide supplements can help improve blood flow and treat ED.
Treatment options for ED include hormones, PDE5 inhibitors, wave therapy, penis pumps, and Trimix injections.
Post-op care is important for prostatectomy patients to regain sexual function.
Communication and support between partners are crucial in the treatment of ED.

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 21:03:00 +0000

Registered dietitian Victoria Whittington shares practical tips for improving protein intake, understanding carbohydrates, and incorporating fiber into the diet.

Fiber is important for digestion, blood sugar stabilization, and satiety. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
Breakfast options high in protein and fiber include Greek yogurt with berries and nut butter, or scrambled eggs with avocado and whole grain toast.

Testosterone Misconceptions | Optimizing Beyond Reference Ranges with Dr. Keith Nichols

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 20:16:00 +0000

Dr. Keith Nichols delves into the intricacies of testosterone optimization, shedding light on common misconceptions and outdated practices prevalent among physicians. Here are key takeaways from the discussion:

Rethinking Normalcy: Dr. Nichols challenges the fixation on normal reference ranges for testosterone levels, emphasizing that these ranges do not necessarily equate to optimal health or the absence of symptoms.

Symptom-Based Treatment: Rather than targeting a specific testosterone number, Dr. Nichols advocates for treatment based on individual symptoms and response, recognizing the importance of free testosterone levels in achieving desired outcomes.

The Saturation Point: While higher testosterone levels may be beneficial up to a certain point, Dr. Nichols explains the concept of saturation, beyond which further increases yield no additional benefits.

Environmental Factors: The low testosterone epidemic is not solely attributed to biological factors but is also influenced by environmental pollutants and endocrine disruptors.

Clarifying Misconceptions: Dr. Nichols clarifies misunderstandings surrounding hematocrit levels and testosterone therapy, as well as the role of DHT in hair loss.

Aromatase Inhibitors and Estrogen: While some clinics are using aromatase inhibitors to block estrogen, caution is warranted as they negate the benefits of testosterone.

Delivery Methods: Both injections and transdermal creams can effectively deliver testosterone, with creams potentially offering better elevation of free testosterone levels.

Concerns in the Field: Dr. Nichols expresses concerns about the proliferation of clinics in the hormone optimization space that do not adhere to evidence-based practices, underscoring the importance of seeking reputable providers.

In summary, Dr. Nichols advocates for a nuanced approach to testosterone optimization, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment based on symptoms and response rather than a one-size-fits-all approach dictated by lab values. His insights serve as a valuable guide for both physicians and individuals navigating the complex landscape of hormone optimization.

On today's episode, I have Dave Lee, founder of Advanced Fundamental Health, and a highly respected figure in the Testosterone Optimization space.

1. How much did your mental health improve on TRT and how long did it take?
2. My libido is non-existent, and has been for years. I am on EOD Sub Q injections. Any idea why I have no libido?

3. When it comes to TRT, when is the point of no return, approximately speaking? I understand every human is different but I’d like to gather a consensus.
4. I have estrogen dominance and my T:E ratio is out of balance. I know this group always says not to use Anastrozole to block estrogen but how do you suggest I lower my estrogen to get a more balanced ratio?

Revolutionizing Cancer Detection: The Power of a Single Blood Test with the Galleri Test - Dr. Whitney Jones

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 11:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Whitney Jones, Grail's Senior Medical Advisor, joins us to discuss the Galleri cancer screening test. The Galleri test is a first-of-its-kind multi-cancer early detection test that can detect a signal shared by more than 50 cancer types and predict the tissue type or organ associated with the signal to help healthcare providers determine next steps.

The Galleri test is intended to complement routine single cancer screenings for more comprehensive early cancer detection. Routine screenings are recommended for certain patients for breast, cervical, colorectal, lung and prostate cancers.

Only screening for a single cancer does not effectively address the high prevalence of cancer given the probability of diagnosis for a specific cancer is uncertain, and the occurrence of individual cancers is relatively low. One in two men and one in three women are diagnosed with some form of cancer in America in their lifetime.

Some of the cancers that the Galleri test screens for include:

Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma

Ampulla of Vater

Anus

Appendix, Carcinoma

Bile Ducts, Distal

Bile Ducts, Intrahepatic

Bile Ducts, Perihilar

Bladder, Urinary

Bone

Breast

Cervix

Hormone Management For Optimal Health And Sexual Function: Separating Estradiol Fact From Fiction With Dr. John Carrozzella, MD

Tue, 02 May 2023 18:10:00 +0000

Men and women require estradiol for optimal health.

In this podcast, Dr. Carrozzella and I delve into the importance of estradiol in both men and women. The importance of estradiol in women is crucial for reproductive, brain, and bone health, as well as cardio protection. Decline in estradiol during menopause can lead to various diseases of aging. There is controversy around replacing estradiol in women, but the literature supports its necessity. Similarly, men also require estradiol for optimal health, but there are still physicians blocking estradiol. We cover the misconceptions surrounding blocking estrogen and explore the cardio-protective effects of estradiol. Lastly, we address the treatments for sexual health and the role of Trimix, Emsella, PDE-5’s, and botox in sexual function. Tune in for an informative discussion on sexual function and hormone management.

Dr. John Carrozzella, an Honors Graduate from Yale in 1978, went on to earn his MD from the University of Cincinnati (UC) in 1982 and was awarded the honor of Alpha Omega Alpha. He completed his Orthopaedic Surgical Residency and Hand Surgery Fellowship in 1988 and practiced as an Orthopaedic Surgeon for 25 years before shifting his focus to nontraditional medical specialties such as Hormone Replacement, Sexual Health and Dysfunction, and Age Management. He has been a member of several medical associations, including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, American Society for Surgery of the Hand, and the American College of Surgeons. In 2014, he became an Advanced Fellow of the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine, a member of the International Society for Sexual Medicine, and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health. Dr. Carrozzella was awarded a Master’s Degree in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida in August 2016. He is a diplomat of the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and holds certificates in Sexual Medicine from the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine, Advanced Metabolic Endocrinology from the University of South Florida, and Advance Bio-identical Hormone therapy from Worldlink Medical. Dr. Carrozzella specializes in Hormone therapy, sexual dysfunction, and age management for both men and women. He practices in the Windermere/Bay Hill/Dr. Phillips section of Orlando, where he is dedicated to serving patients with hormonal deficiencies, sexual dysfunction, incontinence, nutritional imbalances, and age management issues.

Interpreting Your Own Labs For Health Optimization - HA1C, AST, ALT, Iron, Ferritin And PSA - Dr. Yablonsky, DO

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 12:42:00 +0000

Interpreting Your Own Labs For Health Optimization With Dr. Yablonsky

“Normal” lab results do not mean you are optimized. Become the CEO of your own health!

On today’s podcast I have returning guest, Dr. David Yablonsky to help you learn how to take control of your health and be able to interpret and understand your lab results. We believe in bringing your labs into optimal range, not just out of a disease state.

This is going to be a multipart series as there are a lot of different panels to cover.

Lab panels discussed:

Hemoglobin A1C

A hemoglobin A1C test is a blood test that shows what your average blood sugar (glucose) level was over the past three months.

Optimal: < 5.2

Pre-diabetic: 5.7

Diabetes > 6.4

AST & ALT

Rising levels of ALT are often the first clue that something is wrong in the liver.

Women ALT: < 25

Men ALT: < 33

PSA

Age specific
Watch for velocity changes
Know that certain medications such as Finasteride falsely lower a PSA by 50%

These are rough averages:
20-30 years of age < 1
30-40 years of age < 1
40-50 years of age < 2.0
50-60 years of age < 3.0

* Velocity changes is one of the most important indicators which is why establishing a baseline PSA is so important.

Never a PSA > 4 unless you are 80+ years of age.

Iron

Iron is commonly misunderstood. Checking your Ferritin and Iron % Saturation are important to understand your iron levels. Ferritin levels are a measure of your iron stores, which should remain < 50 ng/mL. Although, elevated ferritin levels > 300 ng/mL can be an indicator for inflammation in the body.
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. The excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. For this reason, hereditary hemochromatosis is also called an iron overload disorder.

Testosterone & The “Thick Blood” Myth. The Confusion Between Secondary Erythrocytosis & Polycythemia Explained.

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 21:46:00 +0000

On today’s show I have Lauren Finnerty, a nurse practicer at Victory Men’s Health here to discuss yet another misconception of testosterone therapy and that is the thought that testosterone can cause “thick blood” which can in turn cause a heart attack, stroke or blood clot. This is misinformation. Evidence shows the link between testosterone replacement therapy and the increase of hematocrit doesn’t lead to more cardiac or thrombotic events in men.

If you have been told this by a medical provider there is confusion around the difference between erythrocytosis and polycythemia vera. The two conditions are completely different but many medical providers don’t know that increased levels of hematocrit and hemoglobin (blood counts) from testosterone (secondary erythrocytosis) doesn’t cause the same medical issues as polycythemia vera.

This misunderstanding could lead to medical providers taking patients off of their testosterone or cause them to over phlebotomize the patient that could cause the patient to become iron deficient or anemic.

Today we want to arm you with the facts!

Wrongfully Incarcerated for 23 years with Ricky Kidd

Tue, 24 May 2022 15:15:00 +0000

Can you imagine going to prison for 23 years for a crime you didn’t commit? Well, that is the real-life story of today’s guest, Mr. Ricky Kidd.

Ricky was arrested in 1996 for the shooting deaths of George Bryant and Oscar Bridges in Kansas City, MO. He was arrested and convicted despite the fact he had an alibi at the time of the crime. His public defender never presented his alibi at trial. No physical evidence linked him to the crime. The prosecutor has been accused of misconduct in several other cases and five of the convictions she helped secure have been overturned. Ricky was exonerated on his last appeal with the help of the Missouri Innocence Project.

Ricky is now a motivational public speaker, author, and playwright. His sole post-exoneration focus has been to educate and inspire millions of people about resilience in the face of their challenges. Ricky also has advocated for the wrongfully convicted all over the country and has even trained prosecutors on how to avoid wrongful convictions as a criminal justice consultant. Because of this, many around the nation continue to be captivated by Kidd’s story of true Resilience. The intensity of the public’s focus on Kidd’s extraordinarily and compelling story has served as fuel for him to continue to share, educate and inspire.

Micronutrient Testing - Test, Don't Guess Approach For Personalized And Targeted Supplementation.

Mon, 16 May 2022 16:31:00 +0000

On today’s podcast I have Nicole Herms, a chemist and technical researcher for SpectraCell Laboratories. SpectraCell Laboratories has a "test, don’t guess" motto when it comes to supplementing your micronutrients. Their Micronutrient test looks inside your cells and identifies deficiencies for 35 vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and metabolites. Micronutrients are the metabolic workhorses in our bodies that drive every chemical reaction in every cell. The Micronutrient Test reveals exactly what you are deficient in and allows doctors to develop a personalized supplementation regimen versus blindly supplementing someone. Correlating micronutrient deficiencies not only slows aging and degenerative disease progression, it can also prevent as well as repair cellular dysfunction, and by extension, disease.

Nichole Herms is an avid proponent of functional nutritional testing since she began working at SpectraCell Laboratories in 2004. In the years since, she has developed training materials for practitioners who wish to integrate functional nutritional diagnostics into their practice, with special emphasis on the role of micronutrient deficiencies in various diseases. With a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a masters in business, she understands both the scientific and practical aspects of lab testing in today’s shifting paradigm of healthcare.

Drilling Down on "Drill Music" and it's Path of Destruction on our Society - Fifteen on a Friday

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Democratic NYC Mayor, Eric Adams got me interested in understanding the negative impact of “drill music” on our society and our youth after I read an article where he was urging social media firms to ban drill rap videos that are glorifying and promoting violence on their platforms. Adams said it would be irresponsible to continue to give violent rap music videos a platform after Twitter banned former President Donald Trump for posting what it deemed as objectionable and inflammatory content. “We pulled Trump off Twitter because of what he was spewing. Yet we are allowing music displaying guns and violence. We allow this to stay on the sites, we are alarmed by the use of social media to really over-proliferate this violence in our communities. This is contributing to the violence that we are seeing all over the country.” So, that lead me to wanting to drill down on “drill music”.

Music is Killing Masculinity -Fifteen on a Friday

Fri, 11 Mar 2022 15:56:00 +0000

On today’s podcast I discuss why rap music is killing masculinity. It glorifies a lifestyle of gang banging, domestic violence, kids out of wedlock, and women being treated as disposable objects. Boys that try to emulate rap music end up weak and a product of the system. Everyone is paying the price for the lyrics we tolerate in rap music.

Unmasking the truth about Testosterone and Prostate Cancer

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 17:00:00 +0000

There is no relationship between a man's testosterone level and his risk of developing prostate cancer. Studies have shown that testosterone therapy doesn't increase the risk of prostate cancer or make it more severe in men who have already been diagnosed.

Today’s guest Dr. David Yablonsky and I discuss why the medical establishment has had a false assumption that testosterone replacement therapy increases a man’s risk of prostate cancer. We also deep dive not only in to his clinical experience but also his personal experience with prostate cancer.

5 Major Testosterone Disruptors

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 18:00:00 +0000

Testosterone…men need it! Testosterone is the key male sex hormone that regulates fertility, muscle mass, fat distribution, and red blood cell production.

When levels of testosterone drop below levels that are healthy, they can lead to conditions like insulin resistance, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and vascular risk. It contributes to muscle loss, bone loss, and anemia. Symptoms may also include depressed mood, reduced motivation, fatigue, and loss of libido. A substantial body of evidence indicates that coronary artery disease incidence and severity are inversely correlated with testosterone levels.

I sat down with Anna Griffith to discuss a course of action to alleviate low testosterone causes through specific lifestyle changes. In this episode we discuss 5 major testosterone disruptors that she commonly sees in her male patients. We dive into hair loss medications, sleep, plastic, oral testosterone boosters and micronutrients.

Anna Griffith, DNP of Victory Men’s Health is an ANCC Board Certified Nurse Practitioner. She completed her Doctorate in Nursing from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Anna continues her education through a broad array of anti-aging societies such as A4M, AMMG, and Seeds scientific research and performance.
