 • Why the standard "low T" cutoff is misleading and why you must check your Free Testosterone.

In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Heidi van den Brink; one of the only scientists in the world studying the ovarian transition from fertility to menopause. Together, they unpack what textbooks and wellness influencers often miss: the biology behind how your ovaries, uterus, metabolism, and nutrition interact across every stage of a woman’s life. 

Dr. Heidi reveals the never-before-seen dynamics of the ovarian cycle, how follicles develop in “waves,” and what really happens during the menopause transition. They discuss how undernutrition, obesity, and metabolic health shape reproductive hormones; why early menarche and delayed ovulation matter for long-term health; and the surprising connection between your gut microbiome, bile acids, and fertility. 

If you’ve ever been told to “balance your hormones” with seed cycling, apps, or supplements, this episode separates myths from mechanisms. It’s a masterclass in understanding the science of your hormones and how to truly support reproductive health through every decade of life.

Key Takeaways:

Low Testosterone is a major health risk • . Low T is linked to an increased risk of bone fracture, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
TRT is often protective. • Contrary to the long-standing myth, replacing low testosterone to a healthy range does 
not • increase the risk of cardiac events. It is, in fact, protective against cardiovascular disease.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a canary in the coal mine. • ED can predict a heart attack within 3 to 5 years.
Men can maintain high T levels. • Testosterone levels in a healthy 75-year-old can be just as good as in a man in his 20s.
The solution is often concurrent. • For an obese or overweight man with low T, concurrent treatment with TRT and a lifestyle intervention is often the most responsible approach to provide the motivation needed for weight loss.
Low-dose daily Cialis • (2.5mg to 5mg) may be a viable preemptive strategy for cardiovascular health due to its blood flow benefits.
