Good afternoon. Somehow I found an interview with Peter Attia on Jillian Michaels podcast. Yes, she's a bit annoying, but Attia was informative as always. Topic was TRT. He discussed two "ways" that T is low in males...1) the body doesn't produce it, and T is prescribed, or 2) the body produces it but the 'brain doesn't tell the body to use it right', or something to that effect, in which case HCG (?) is prescribed. (There's much more detail, but this was the gist...hope I stated it semi-correctly.) This is what course of action Attia has taken.
Wondering what the doctors' thoughts are on this. I do not recall if my provider (using a Whitmer PA based in FL) discussed these two 'pathways' to solve my low T issue. I will be sure to ask now, though.
Podcast episode was 8/12/2024, podcast title is "Keeping It Real". And again, she's a bit annoying to me.
Just curious.
