Getting access to testosterone replacement therapy is harder than it should be — especially if you have a complicated medical history. I know because I spent six months navigating the system after radiation treatment for prostate cancer left me with progressively worse energy, drive, and motivation.
In this video, I walk through my entire journey: the lab work that revealed what was actually wrong (and why most doctors missed it), the endocrinologist who ordered the right tests, the urologist who dismissed everything, two Telehealth companies that wasted my time and money, and the doctor who finally listened and wrote my prescription.
I also break down what the labs actually mean — total testosterone vs. free testosterone vs. bioavailable testosterone — because this is where patients and doctors alike get it wrong. Your total testosterone number is the LEAST important number on the panel. I'll show you what to look for instead.
