Thank you Rip and Drs. Nichols and Howell for providing this valuable resource. Lots of great information that I am finding relevant as I turn 60 in a few short months.
Aside from getting testosterone checked, I would recommend guys get a sleep test to see if they might need a CPAP machine. My mood and energy levels have certainly increased since I've been using one, and my wife is also sleeping better as my snoring is not keeping her awake anymore. Getting my hypothyroidism under control also contributed to a better outlook on life.
A couple of questions.
If I wanted to go the TRT route, what would I look for in finding a reputable clinic? I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area if that means anything. In May of 2020 my total testosterone was measured as 353 and free testosterone calculated as 60 and I'm not really sure I'm a candidate for treatment.
Also, when, if ever, is treatment indicated for prostate cancer and how is that point decided?
Thanks again for this and all the other outstanding podcasts you provide.

Excellent interview with lots of great information. Interestingly, dogs are much more accurate with screening for prostate cancer, if trained to do so. Colon cancer too. They even can be trained to sniff out someone with covid. Really eye opening stuff. I don't think we see this in the medical community, because it would be hard to justify such high prices for a dog sniffing your butt, plus people might not trust the results.Originally Posted by stef
